A Lock -- Bears Win NFC North

I don't think the Bears are going to be quite as good as everybody says. They might win the tie breaker like PPE said, but thats about it.

The Bears definitely have talent on both sides of the ball ... but I am still not all that sold on this team ... I think we have a legitimate shot at the division crown ... but it will not be easy to wrestle it away from Chicago this season.

the bears will crumble kinda like we did last season. there offense will be petty and they will rely on their defense to win low scoring games. i say if you could put up at least 3 tds there done for

I woluldn't necessarily say that its a "lock" but I do think that they have a good chance. I mean they were the best team in the Division last year and everyone is expecting them to do it again. The Vikes get very little attention at all from the media and stuff it seems like so I am sure that everyone is just assuming that we will finish about the same or worse than we did last year. Hopefully we can prove everybody wrong and win the division. Lets stay positive!

The Bears also had, for a fact, a very good head coach , who happens to be their same coach this year.

That fact alone, they will be a contender this season for sure, but let's not forget one important factor this season.

We ourselves have what I'm really believing is a top of the class coaching staff ourselves........

Childress and his staff will be a major factor for us this year, and because of that, we will take the NORTH....

It is our time to rise and shine...

The NFC divisional winners will be the:

NFC North: Vikings and Bears tie: Bears take tiebreakers.
NFC South: Buccaneers.
NFC East: Redskins
NFC West: Seahawks.

Wild Cards go to the Vikings and Panthers.

~ Hey Purple, i agree with your standings, but the Skins? They overpaid for 2nd tier talent. I'd take NY or Dallas before Wash. But thats just my opinion

Da Bears don't bother me.

My eye is on a team that's been very quiet and has some top Coaching now to go with those high draft picks. Yup, the Motor City Madmen . . . the Detroit Lions.

If they aren't a force in football over the next few seasons, then there truly is a curse on that club.

All they need to do is lose twice a year and I'll be happy.

That makes one person out of all the 6,244 PP.O-ers on the site

Well the Bears should win the NFC North, but it's far from a lock. They were the best team by far in the division last year (although they were somewhat overrated) and they didn't lose anyone very important. With their defence leading the way, they should win lots of games, especially considering that they have the weakest schedule in the NFL.

But the Vikings are a much improved team over last year, so it should be interesting.

Agreed, should be very interesting

not to mention they're the only team in the NFC with the same coach as last year

it will definatly be tight between them and us this year
