All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

So? How 'bout that Bears Defense?

01-05-2006, 12:33 PM

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.

For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

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.

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.

Re: So? How 'bout that Bears Defense?

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.
