So? How 'bout that Bears Defense?

[Ebenezer]

People have differing opinions on Jerry Gray and the Bills Def. Some want to argue that the #2 defense really came about because of the 2004 schedule. With that in mind let's look at the 2005 Bears defense.

Schedule w/NFL rank:
Washington - 11th
Detroit (2) - 27th
Cincinnati - 6th
Cleveland - 26th
Minnesota (2) - 25th
Baltimore - 24th
New Orleans - 20th
San Francisco - 32nd
Carolina - 22nd
Tampa Bay - 23rd
Pittsburgh - 16th
Atlanta - 12th
Green Bay (2) - 18th

...the Atlanta game was in cold weather...other than Cinci I don't exactly see a lot of Offensive juggernauts there.

Bears Def are obviously is not as good as it's #2 ranking.

Interesting point Eb. Also, Atlanta only beat one team with a winning record this season, and that was the Vikes in the begining of the year when they played horribly.

EE is going to be PISSED!

[Crisis]

They did what they needed to do.

We'll see how good they really are in the playoffs.

I'll tell you what though. The Bears' defense scored a ton of points for me in Fantasy.

It had nothing to do with the schedule. It was a one year fluke, plain and simple. Throw the kitchen sink at somebody enough times and they will learn to duck.

Well I like what the Bears have done and I'm rooting for them to take it all. For me, they are a vivid reminder of what our team should have been, and I like that about this team.

Go Bears! Good God, I hope I didn't just curse them by saying that. I feel like every team I root for loses. I better apologize to all Bear fans now just in case.
