Division is not safe 

Post#1 » by ssssssnake » Sat Sep 1, 2007 12:49 pm

Hi bears fans,

I just wanted to let you guys know that the Packers have made big gains in defense, ST's and offense. I wouldn't be suprised if the Bears have the 2nd best defense in the NFC North.

I acctually like Wrecks but the Oline is aging and odds say injury is likely. Also, your Dline is thin, esspecially up the middle where Urlacher needs protection.

This is just our Dline and they are all good.

Kampman
Jenkins
KGB
Pickett
C Williams
J Jolly (You'll know his name soon enough. He might be our 3rd best lineman)
C. Cole
D. Muir

Poppinga, Hawk and Barnett are all stronger and playing faster

Harris, Woodson, Collins and Bigby (you'll know his name soon enough) are all having good off seasons.

Driver, Jennings and Jones are a strong 1, 2, 3 punch. Our Oline is much improved over a year ago and once we start cut blocking our running game is going to take off.


Da Pack is back!! Be prepared !!

Let me be the first to start rolling on the floor laughing. :rofl:

Its not bad to be hopeful, but it isn't smart to come to the best team in the division and act like the Packers went from horrible to just great overnight. I actually see the Packers as the 3rd best team in the division with Minnesota finishing last. Detroit has the strongest offensive punch in the division (not green bay) but we don't have much of a secondary to shut down anyone, so we'll be lucky if a lot of teams don't go deep on us all season. The Bears still win the division this year and Detroit will find a way to win some games and finish ahead of the Packers.

Yeah, I sure as heck would be suprised, so will the rest of the league and probably even a lot of Packers fans.

We heard this from some Packers fans last year, that the division wasn't safe, that the Packers could win 10 games, etc. Not gonna happen.

Our D-Line is better than yours, and we have Tommie Harris and Mark Anderson (you don't). Urlacher and Briggs are both better than AJ Hawk right now, and our secondary is very deep. Our offense is still better than yours and we have GROSSman.

ok, packers MIGHT go from 8-8 to 9-7, but no way the bears finish with 10 or fewer wins.

I'll come back and bump it :) I know I wrote it. I'll take your guys crap if we're not right at the top with you guys but I'll dish it if we beat you guys :)

I think the Packers have a really good team. I think the whole NFL is going to be suprised. This is coming from a guy who thought they were a 6-10 team last year and 6-10 the year before. I also predicted teh Bears to go to the SB last year before the season started and I took a lot of crap at my Packers boards. I'm not drunk on Kool aid, I think the reality of the 2007 Packers is that they are really good and the Bears are going to take a step down. We'll see though.

Okay, that's great and all but....

do you guys even have a running back anymore? I thought our RB situation was bad.

Minnesota 2nd(2nd best defense/very good running game), Green Bay 3rd, Detriot 4th. That's my predictions

yeah, last year your running back situation is bad, and it get WORSE this year. Teams won't respect your running game, and good luck running out the clock. I just don't see the improvement.

I bet on Bears with an O/U of 10 wins. I think they win 12-13.

Remind me. Do the Packers have an actual Running Back yet? Or are they going to rely on the first Samkon Gado that comes along?

Just where was that great defense when the Tennessee Titans were putting up 30 points on them 3 days ago? I thought that was Vince Young carving up your D in the 2nd Quarter Thursday (passing for a quick TD, then running one in).

Our starters on offense and defense played 2 series. Their starters played 3 quarters.

the bears have taken a step back? they've gotten significantly better on offense with the additions of olsen, hester, etc.... and on defense they added depth to their most troublesome area being the safety w/ archuleta being acquired back in Lovie's system that he excelled in w/ STL a few years ago. Don't forget the insurance they have at the DT position w/ anthony adams. (need i remind you that alex brown was demoted????? he's one of the better DE's in the league....

The Bears in my opinion will be back reppin. the NFC in the SB this year. The only team remotely close to their level is the saints, and i think we all saw what happened in that game.

And for people who say the cowboys w/ make the superbowl, let alone make the playoffs, i laugh at you (just ranting)
