[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 495822, member: 4199"] The Bears are rebuilding. The core of the old team, the defense, has basically been flushed away. At best, they will look like we did in 2009. Improving as the year goes on. Their best players are either gone or old. They'll probably surprise a few, but will be fighting with the Lions for third place. The Lions are funny. They have a pretty good offense, but they're paying (literally) for having so many high draft picks and it's messing up their cap. With Stafford and Megatron, they can put up points. The defense remains a work in progress. Their D-line is great, but they have nothing in the back 7. Just 7 guys "above average" would make them a hell of a defense. Problem is they kind of need to replace all 7. The Vikings remain our biggest threat. The weakness is Ponder. I doubt AP will be able to repeat last year. He's the best in the league right now, but repeating is hard. Plus having a strong running game isn't a good predictor of post-season success anymore. The Viking's best season with AP was when they had Favre as the center piece. Correct me if I'm wrong, but AP only did about 1,100 on the ground that year. I'm not scared of their defense other than Allen and he's not the super-threat he used to be. Winfield was a complete player, but he was cut. [/QUOTE]
