Overall, I really don't see the difference or need to worry. In '07 they swept us and in '08 in was 1-1. I don't see any need to sound an alarm. This should only add to the rivalry. Each team has a shot in this division... Well except the Lions...

Yeah Z those nine fumbles he had last year rocked.

Cutler instantly upgrades that offense quite a few notches because, like our quarterback, he can make every throw throw on the field. And in a windy stadium like Chicago, that strong arm is huge. Defenses will no longer be squatting on Chicago's passing routes.

Pace is great? Wasn't he hurt alot the last two years? And if he was so great, why did the lowly Rams cut him?

---

Madonna could have adopted him instead.

I dont know if you were serious or not but i was thinking about them getting Harrison for a year or 2 just to have a vet wr on the team. I forgot about Holt the 2 of them i still think have 2 years left and are proven great route runners.

holt might go to tenn or the jags

if those 2 are so great why are they still unsigned? and why were they just released and not traded :thumbright:

Cutler improves the team a bunch but still remains to be seen on their WR and if the aging D has something left

I'm a bit harsh on Tavaris Jackson, and I reckon Sage Rosenfels helps the Vikes, but at least for off-season speculation purposes (because that's all it is) I am just glad that he went to the Bears and not the Vikings. ON PAPER, he looked to be the missing link for the Vikes. Of course, ON PAPER, our missing link last year was going to be the loss of Brett Favre.

Usually you can wipe your nether regions with that paper when the actual season "rolls around", but I'm seeing some sacks in this young man's immediate future that perhaps he wasn't planning on when he started whining out Denver-way.
Let's see if he's as fantastic as some of the hand-wringers amongst us seem to think he is when he has a dismantled line protecting him, converted kick-off returners to throw to, and a fanbase with the patience of a velociraptor when it comes to quarterbacks.

I don't like the kid on a personal level, so I guess I'm just blowin' steam...we will see...still glad he isn't wearing purple...

Are you serious? He's easily as mobile as Aaron Rodgers and throws much better on the run. The Bears getting this guy is a scary thing for rival NFC North teams and fans. The NFC North now has two good QBs, when was the last time that happened?

Actually Forte is the best complete RB in the division(receiving,running, blocking) AP is the best pure runner.

I don't find him that evasive though, but he does do well on designed roll-outs... which is pretty much a must when you play for the Broncos. He can throw on the run, but that doesn't mean he'll make people miss easily. At least, I didn't see that alot.

I agree that this is quite scary, though. I mean, if they'd just sign a guy like Torry Holt, they might be contenders right away. Olsen's receiving ability, Forte who needs alot of coverage, also since he's a great receiver. Torry Holt who can stretch the field, like Hester, but can run pretty much every route.
