[QUOTE="Philtration, post: 246504, member: 213"] [COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]And that is what I have been saying about the Bears receivers. They don't have to have Larry Fitzgerald or Randy Moss to go to the playoffs. Look at the last two Super Bowl winners. The Steelers finished 17th in the NFL in passing in 2008 and the Giants were 21st in 2007. When the New England Patriots won back-to-back titles in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, their top WRs failed to crack the NFL's top 30 in receiving those seasons. Deion Branch finished 42nd in 2003 and David Givens 40th in 2004. Baltimore's top wideout in its 2000 championship season was Qadry Ismail, who finished 68th in the NFL. Yes it is great to have a game breaker at WR but you don't have to have one to win. It is not that kind of league. My point was that the Bears and Vikings both have talented defensive players and the Packers are going to have to deal with the fact that they are not going to go out and score 30 points every week. Anyone saying that they can just outscore everyone else is overrating the Packers offense and ignoring what really wins games in the NFL. They have the Steelers and Ravens on their schedule this year and I don't see anyone running up a lot of points on either one of those teams. The Packers will play 7 teams this season that had a higher ranked defense than their own last year. The Packers also struggled against the run and there are three good young RBs that they have to stop in the division 6 times a year. If Stafford plays well and Cutler puts up the kind of numbers that he has shown in Denver then the Packers will have to rely on their defense more then ever.[/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Arial Narrow] [/FONT][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]They had better be prepared to stop someone or they are going to have another losing season.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
