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

[Zool]

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

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

[VegasPackFan]

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....

[Striker]

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

Released. Out saboteur is now on the street, out in the cold. John LeCarre is writing the novel.

Dammit. I was looking forward to him biting on Packer play fakes for a change.

Oddly enough, the Packers have a better rushing attack too. If they get better ILBs than the Bears MLB then I am heading for the hills.

They cut Jennings.

They Bears were a 4th and 8 away from beating us twice last year, and I think they're better this year.

I still think we win the division, but it's certainly not a given - Detroit and Minnesota will be better this year too.

The NFC North has become a very competetive division.

They also couldn't seize the division from a team starting 3 different QBs after Rodgers that ultimately finished 8-7-1.

So beating us and making the playoffs wouldn't exactly be an achievement considering both the Bears and the Lions had all the time in the world to take control and failed to do so.

The bottom line:

All we need is a healthy Aaron Rodgers....the Green Bay Packer 'LEADER'.

They're a flawed team to be sure - but so are the Packers.

Detroit beat us senseless in the T-giving day game... I don't care if we were minus our QB or not - there's no way to rationalize a beating like that. Our team is every bit as flawed as the Lions or Bears.

When it's bad play from Flynn, yeah, it's pretty easy to rationalize. The game at least was close until the battle of attrition finally started sliding the Lions way.

The Packers drives went:

Punt, FG (after an out out of bounds KO), punt, punt, punt, punt, turnover, turnover, punt, punt, turnover. I'm pretty sure they could manage a little better than that under Rodgers.

Like every team in the NFL, the Packers do have flaws. But I think they have decidedly fewer than the rest of the division, and they have the QB to make up for them.

Striker's last sentence is pure gold truth. Striker, I proclaim you to be today's golden god!

Nice post. When folks wax poetic about Flynn all I can think about is how dreadful he was in this game. Our much aligned defense got 3 turnovers in the first half of that game that Flynn couldn't do shit with.
