Fans have a lot of reasons to be happy about the direction they see the team going. None of that matters until we see how it all plays out inside the chalk lines. But make no mistake about it, the Bears are going to be tough competition for anyone in our division, and if the division is like it was last year, it could be the toughest division in the NFL during at least the regular season. I've commented that the Packers could pick up as many as 11 wins. At 11-6, I'd say 3 of those losses would come inside the division. Everyone in it could beat each other because I believe it might be just that strong. If anyone in the division goes better than 4-2 inside their own group, I'd be amazed.If I was to pick the finish of all four teams in our group, I'd say it would be as follows:Detroit 12-5Green Bay 11-6Chicago 9-8Minnesota 9-8But that's just based on how I perceive each team has done to this point during the off season. For Detroit, Green Bay, and Chicago, their final standing will be based on the health of their starting QBs. For Minnesota, it's going to be more about ball control, and playing superior defense. If it fails, McCarthy, or whomever they put under center, is going to be turned into a tackling dummy.</blockquote>
