Does anyone think the Bears are still the team to beat in the NFC?

I think the Bears fate rests in the hands of Grossman. If he continues to be the opposite of clutch the Bears are done, but if he gets it together the only team that might contend with them is the Giants. The Bears will beat Carolina because all you have to do is shut S. Smith down and the Bears can do that. Carolina has proved time and time again that when Smith has a bad day the Panthers lose.

BEARS ARE EXPOSED for the FRAUD they are. Look...they play in the softest division in football filled with Lions, Vikings & Packer crackers. TODAY the Bears got a feel for the real NFL, they are in reality a 8-8 team..SORRY CHICAGO your team won't make it through the first round of the playoffs

Defense wins championships... So I'd worry about the Bears...

Ok first let me say F the packers and i think they have a really good chance of doin so. Best defense in the nfl Grossman needs too stay healthy Benson will have atleast 1200 yards muhammed is a gr8 wr and if bradley and berrian can produce they offense will be good enough 2 do it. Lets not forget the 2000 ravens who had the best defense and not such a good offense the won it all. Oh and we did pick up devin hester from miami who should be a good return man......DID I MENTION F THE PACKERS AND THIER STINKING CHEESE HEAD FANS ..................GO BEARS

yeah, i am a bears fan myself but im not that surprised because they havent played anybody. every team they've played has a losing record except for the vikings(4-4) and seattle(4-3) but seattle was, and still is missing alexander. im afraid that other bears fans might have a rude awakening after facing the giants and pats. but yeah it is funny that the 1985 bears 1 loss was to the dolphins (who were actually GOOD at the time tho.) what would REALLY be weird is if the bears won the rest of their games......-_- god that would actually kinda suck.

This coming from a die hard Bears fan....\n\nThe Pats will beat the Colts and the Bears this year.\n\nouch...i hope I'm wrong, but, they put a beating down on the Vikings on Monday night, and i think they feel a bit cheated not being a hyped team this year.

No, they are going to be in a dog fight in the NFC East. It's going to be hard for them to make it to the superbowl this coming year.

As far fetched as it may sound....it is indeed possible...just unlikely is all.  Their next 2 games are against the Pats and the Seahawks.  If they manage to win one of those...the schedule get's a bit easier the rest of the way.  Games against the Vikes, Niners, Jets, and Lions are all winnable games.  The final game against the Bears is a game in which the Bears could be sitting a majority of their starters if they have home field advantage wrapped up.  \n\nSo yeah....9-7 is not as far fetched as some people may think.  But....with such a young team...it may be hard for the Packers to put together a solid stretch over the final 7 games.  A slip up against one of the teams that they have a chance at beating...is probably likely (as we saw against Buffalo 2 weeks ago).  \n\nIMO...the packers are still a year away from being a serious playoff contender (and then only if Favre returns for another season).

LOL all you naysayers remember your answers. The saints have as much a chance as "da bears" and a better chance than panthers

no, but the bears will

they will be better then last year but in all honesty they arent gonna be contenders till they drop wanstedt.  Im a bears fan and this guy is clueless.  However, I am a big Larry Fitzgerald fan.

I wouldnt trust sports illustrated too much. They ranked the Chicago Bears to be last place, But so Far they are the number 2 NFC team still. Plus they beat the panthers earlier this season.

If they played the way the did yesterday, they will certainly lose to both Giants and Patriots. Plus Urlacher is injured and might not play next week.\n\nOverall AFC teams are way better trhan NFC. The Giants, Saints and Panthers are the only real competion for the Bears. I can see them going to the NFC Championship game and may be winning it. But AFC powerhouses like Colts, Patriots and Denver can easily beat them anyday.

Even though I'm a bears fan, I think the Packers are a pretty good team.  There problem extends to last year when they put together a new offensive line.  That caused major problems for a stellar run-team and also problems for Brett Favre.  I was excited to see the bears pound on Brett Favre, the person responsible for giving me headaches season after season. \n\nTo answer your question though, the packers are probably getting more experienced working to together and I'm actually noticing that Brett is playing a lot like his old self.  Packers won't be a contender and it's probably time for Brett to retire, but they are still an ok team.

The Bears are very lucky they have such a great defense.  Without that defense they would be hurtin' for certain.  Look no further than that Arizona game or even last week's game.  All of those turnovers and yet they still win.  You have to give it up for their defense.  Grossman still has a lot to learn and the offense is "okay" but it's not great.\n\nRemember when the Ravens won the super bowl?  All defense.  Hell they had Trent Dilfer at QB and can you name any of their other skill players other than Jamal Lewis?  Nope.  But I bet you can name 5 or 6 of their defensive players.\n\nThe Bears have had a pretty decent schedule...that helps.  But they are winning with their defense.  But they won't win the whole thing this season.  There are too many good teams out there and the Bears will choke it away in their first playoff game.

I wouldn't bet on the dolphins but i'm going to pick them to win.  There on a roll after their win against chicago.  But i would bet on the bears to beat new york.
