Have the best offensive/defensive complement in the league right now.


With their schedule, I think its pretty safe to say that the road to Miami is going to run through Solider Field.

Hopefully if we get them in the playoffs, Gibbs can recant the prior successes he's had at Solider Field in the playoffs.

Not true. After week 4, it's not safe to say anything.

Long season. Very long.

True, but lets be realistic.

They've already beaten the 2nd best team in their division (Minnesota) on the road.

The other teams in their division are Green Bay and Detroit.

In the AFC they play Miami, New England, Buffalo, and the Jets. Only NE seems like they would even present a challenge for them.

The only tough NFC conference game they have left is at the Giants.

I just don't see them worse then 13-3.

Grossman hasn't proven that he can finish a season.

And with him out, they are anemic on offense.

They might end up 13-3, sure... but it's a very long season. Look where the Eagles were this time last year.

Skins W no matter the area code!

The only physical team(Minn) they've played had them beat if not for the late fumble.Redskins would pound the piss out of them in the trenches-like Pittsburgh and Carolina did late in the year last year.They don't run it and don't stop the run.They aren't built to win late in the year.They'll probably win a ton of games then limp out in the playoffs just like last year.

I DO believe the Bears will get home field advantage. But remember, they were home to Carolina last year and got carved up by Steve Smith and Delhomme.

We are very similar to the Panthers in alot of ways and they proved they could "sove" that defense. Besides, you don't get a tougher defense than the one we played yesterday and we did them in.

I would actually much rather go into Soldier Field in the playoffs than into Seattle, Carolina or Atlanta. We have proven we can win there...in the 80's, 90's and 2000's.

I'm hoping we can get at least one HOME postseason game this year! It will take winning the division to ensure that.

mark me down as a sceptic. The Bears will find a way to shoot themselves in the foot, even playing in the 2nd worst division in the NFC.

When playing, Grossman does appear to be the real deal. An injury prone Grossman is Spurriors big NFL legacy. That and f'ing up the Skins.

The Bears are the best team in the NFC right now. I'm afraid of them.

The Bears look a lot better than last year. Unlike most teams, they have two good RB's and QB's. I think the Carolina game was a fluke and adding Ricky Manning Jr should prevent a repeat. Their DL was young last year and appears to be making major strides.

It's a long season, but they seem to be built to handle injuries in most areas.

They're good, and the rest of their schedule is ridiculously easy. I can say without a doubt they'll make it to the playoffs, and more than likely homefield advantage throughout. However, I can see it being like Indy last year. Beat up on crap teams all year, and get their a** handed to them in the playoffs cause they're not battle tested.

They're OL as a whole looks very battle tested. If Grossman continues to play well and stays healthy, and they develop a consistent running game, I don't see anyone beating them down stretch this year in Soldier Field.

Grossman is legit, he just has to stay healthy. The Bears are an awesome team.
