Not too bad. But I'd definitely swap Packers & Bears.

A case can be made for that Slacker

i like when you said it not about week to week but then i see the rankings and clearly you punished bears greatly and vaulted lions way up based on that gm in det. im pretty confident bears will beat det in chi and expected them to lose in det so think having chi behind hou, ten, mia is a tough one to buy..

overall not a bad list tho.. nice work

Yes, I think you might be right about that 2da but Cutler is just so schizophrenic and he's a world class tool on top of it that perhaps I'm punishing the team for the douchiness (such a word?) of their field marshal. The lack of a defense (20th in total yards allowed and allowing over 28 points per game which ranks them 27th in the league) concerns me greatly. I just don't feel this team, led by this guy (Cutler), has the offensive chops to outgun other prolific offenses who may in fact have a better defense. When I think of the Bears I think defense first and foremost. If they don't have that then I'm not buying into what's being sold in Chi-Town.

lol..cant argue that, if it isnt a word it should be! you are correct the d while still making plays has been significantly worse, before last week they were giving up 6.5 yards per play..i do like what trestman has brought to the offensive side tho, from bringing in saints very good oline coach and making that unit better to actually keeping cutler under control and utilizing forte the way he should be used.. obviously the game got away from them last week and cutler fell into some old bad habits but det is becoming tough place to play with the noise and that defensive front. still think this offense may end up being one of the better ones in the nfc and there still talent on d, they did lose a all pro dt in pit and tillman been dealing with a hammy. but you make sound points, just be ready to bump them back up after they beat the saints this week

Cutler's issue last week was the newly assembled o-line having a hiccup against an underrated DET pass rush.

I actually have no problem with that, Jets could easily be the only team of those five that will finish last in their division.

KingJD31 · 10-02-13, 09:04 PM

You think the skins are better then the giants? Ok guy, skins are the worst team in nfl

Can you imagine an undefeated Denver team facing an undefeated New Orleans team in the Super Bowl?

That would be epic.

KingJD31 · 10-02-13, 09:08 PM

Come on, can't lump the skins with the Jags.

Anyhow, Eagles could finish last too. NFC East has gone from best division in football few years ago to one of the worst now. Dallas could win the division at 8-8.

Thanks for the input gents. LT, always a pleasure having your voice of reason in my thread.
