    DO....The Chicago Bears have the pieces to be Super Bowl winner?

    The author makes a case for this.

    I believe the Green Bay Packers will have a strong voice to prevent this.

    What's your view?

    I know you can't put any weight on what you see in the preseason but I'm not seeing how their defense is much better than it was last year. They had problems stopping people. They have a potent offense for sure but the Bears are not better than Seattle, San Fransisco, New Orleans or us.

    Quite simply, no.
    The offense is fine - execpt for Cutler's penchant for making costly mistakes.
    The defense is mediocre.
    The special teams will be a bonafide disaster.

    I agree that the Bears seem to be weak defensively.

    No.

    No. They have a bottom-5 defense. They need at least one more season to fix that and contend.

    No they do not. Not enough depth and a poor defense.
    Go PACK

    It doesn't matter how many 7 foot tall receivers with gloves of stickum you have...when the going gets tough, your QB can't suddenly develop a vagina and curl up in the fetal position.

    Outside of Herm Edwards, this is the greatest sports analysis I have ever seen.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    No, the Bears D is not good and the rest of the NFL has a year of tape on the Bears O.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    The Bears (D, at least) Still Suck.

    homerism aside da bears and packers are similar teams....both stacked offenses and sub par defense.

    I give gb the edge because we have Rodgers and they have cutler
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    We have a lot more depth on defense. Specifically at safety, but also CB and OLB.

    They just upgraded their safeties with MD Jennings. Hardly similar D

    Cutler has never won anything and I predicted when they first signed him that he never would. I just don't think the guy is a winner. And the Bears suck....

    No, they don't. A defense that is still aging in key spots and Cutler is still Cutler.
