2010 Patriots = 2011 Packers 2010 Jets = 2011 Bears I really think the bears can take the packers down, the Packers defense is horrendous this year, if Cutler can get protected and Forte can do his thing, I think that defense can slow Rodger's down enough for the bears to win. People forget that Rodgers played a really bad game in the NFC championship against the bears, if Cutler wasn't sidelined, the bears may have won.
It blows by mind to think that if 1 thing didn't go wrong for us in the GB game, the Packers would have missed the playoffs last year.
of course they are a lock. didn't you get the memo? the results of the season are set in stone just because people feel the Packers are likely to make the Super Bowl.
The Packers are far from a lock. In 2009 they went one and done against the Cardinals. Then last year, they were a few Akers missed kicks from going one and done a second straight year. This team is not unstoppable. Even if they get to 16-0, it could easily be 16-1.
I do think that a lot of people are sleeping on the Bears. Their defense makes plays, Matt Forte is a monster, and Cutler has become really underrated because everybody hates him so much.
I agree the Bears seem to be the best equipped team to derail them.The Falcons,Giants & their replica the Saints could also cause them trouble.
The Phillies have been a lock to make the World Series for the past two years and look what happened? In sports getting to the big game is never guaranteed.
Are they the most talented team? Probably, no wait that might be the Eagles. You just gotta let the season play out, no one wants to see a team just romp and destruct every single team they face (same reason Patriots and Lakers gained a lot of enemies). Playoffs come down to one game, its sudden death, just know a lot of teams who were regular season juggernauts went home packing. Ask the Falcons and Patriots from last season, ask the Chargers, ask the Colts.
