4-12…doesn’t look good for the Bears next year. Still no offense. If a few players drop on defense this year, then watch Chicago fold. They just don’t have it in them to compete. Time to rebuild. Draft some young players and build that offense from scratch. Much like the Packers did. Though without a Favre as QB, I doubt the Packers young players will be half of what they were. Ted Thompson should be fired. I think the Vikings will emerge as the NFC North champions this year.

9-7 Wild Card

7-9 sound reasonable.

7-9

I believe that Grossman will come back with a good enough year to earn him another 1 or 2 year deal and make Orton the odd man out. The receiving corps is not that good with Lloyd and Hester as both are small and rely too much on speed. The passing game is going to have to be a quick strike, timing offense. Greg Olson will be the dominant receiver with the most TD catches. The running game will improve. Ron Turner will not let it go two straight years of ineffectiveness, even if that means taking Benson as a loss. The defense will be better with a healthy Urlacher and Tommie Harris to stop the run and a happy, and rich, Lance Briggs. The secondary is still a problem and has the capability to get beat deep, but Lovie will play a lot more zone coverages so the DB’s can help each other.
