Doesnt everyone here think The Vikings are as good as the Bears

So they gave a blueprint as a way to a win in week 2...I know I for one thought before week 1 Minnesota was the class of the NFC north, so if Chicago can win with a decent run game a lightwieght pass offense and a strong Defense...So can the Vikes

preach on!

exactly, i think we can take Indy, but then again, I always have.
Granted I do think they were rusty coming off of the preseason, I'm still not worried about it

THe difference between the bears and us.
1) They played the Colts with who were reeling from the lost of their Center and a PM that had not played/practiced in a long time

2) There defence is taught to tackle and rip the ball out. I haven't seen our defense attempt that in about 3 years. We cause fumbles from hitting. The bears manufactor turnovers.

3) THe bears have 2 steller CBS. Our Cbs are average and above average.

4) The Colts tried to run at them because they are soft in the middle. THey will spread us out and pass on us.

However, we will still win this game.

We must take some things from gamefilm last week, but you can bet the Colts will have settle'd down some, as I hope we have also. We have to play our game and keep the ball away from Peyton. Long drives and clock management, converting on third down etc..

The defense must mix stunts, blitzes, and pressure up the middle, as Manning cannot scramble. Lastly our special teams must not give up a stinking big play.

I believe that we're better than them. We just need to win this week's game to prove it....have you guys seen the latest power rankings around the web? Sports writers are placing the Bears in the top 10. I don't think they're that high. One good week doesn't mean a good season....

No... we're better.

The Bears linebackers are better. Our front 4 is vastly better. I think that their secondary is mostly better.

But I do kind of agree that the Bears did show one way to beat the Colts. The only thing is, the Colts have now looked at that tape 29 times and have made their adjustments.

Id like to think we are a better total team. but watching the goddamn bears
defense, they just seem to be more "nasty" for lack of a better word.
They fly to the ball and really play well together, almost as if they are in competition with each other to make a play.
Our d-line much better but from the lbs on back, the bears just know how to get a turnover.
I'd really like to see us play with that intensity sunday..............we'll see.
