Bears start off #5 in the NFL. #1 in the NFC

I think the ravens over the bears is a mistake, but you can't diss the others. Colts are going backwards not forwards, and you can argue that if the c's were healthy in the superbowl (harris, brown, benson the whole game) we might be talking about the superbowl champion bears anyway.

Pats, yeah, I think they win the superbowl this year, beating us. Bears still have a 3-5 year window of good cap shape to getterdone.

couldnt view link but i assume the 4 ahead of us are

pats
colts
chargers
ravens

pats will win afc

colts wont be hungry or have as talented a team

chargers.......who knows, new coaches...wont be same team and nothing tells me that they will be better or even as good

ravens are an overrated joke.......there offense last year reminded me of us when orten was playing....slow, predictable, a grinding with little results
the defense is a year older and less talented


bears should be 2, our offense will be much better........wolfe especially, olsen, and beekman will all improve the offense individually and collectively will improve grossman, and receivers

i predict a top 5-7 offense with a top 3 defense.........#1 on d if briggs plays, and top special teams



i'd put broncos at 3

1. Pats
2. Colts
3. Chargers
4. Ravens
5. Bears
