I don't know that the Defense necessarily needs to "lead the charge"
The team isn’t set up like before—the offensive structure should allow the defense to play solid, if unspectacular defense. There shouldn’t be anymore games where the only chance for us to win is to hold the opponent to less than ten points.
That said, if they want to hold the opponent to less than ten points, I will be very supportive of that plan.

…can hopefully play well enough to avoid long grinding drives by the opposition, something they could not do last season. Hopefully be in better shape to finish games too.

Cali boy
He’s going to adopt Favre’s dislike for cold-weather games as he ages. Can’t wait to see Pepp destroy the NFC North tackles this season.
Backus, Taucher, Clifton, McKinnie, and Loadhold beware.

Or even win your conference.
Preferably not, though.

Lions vs. Bears?
Not to say I think the Bears are going to be a bad team. It’s just that I think the Lions might be good enough to be slightly better potentially. I don’t think either team is going to be good, but can Detroit possibly be better than Chicago this season?
Well, if the Lions end up being better the Bears will be a “bad” team. This guy runs around in circles.
That being said, I expect the Bears to improve on both sides of the ball as well. Cutler won’t be as bad as he was last year, and I think Forte might bounce back a bit as well.
If they’re improved on both sides of the ball, well, wouldn’t that mean the end result will be better? Not necessarily, but with Peppers, Martz, and an improved secondary this team should be better than 7-9.

Yeah people act like the Bears were 2-14 or something
Cutler threw 26 picks, we lost our 2 starting linebackers for the year and our O-line was terrible. With all of that said the Bears were 7-9…7 and 9! I really think the Bears are an improved team on the defensive end by adding an actual Pass rusher, They’ve added a blocking TE to help the O-line and they’ve added another Running back. Honestly I’m not understanding why the Bears are suppose to be guaranteed to be worse next year. Hell on paper the team’s roster actually got better. I know i’m sounding a bit homerish but am I missing something here?
And we
only dropped the ATL game (IMO) because of that stupid False Start on Pace, and we gave away the SF game, that would make us a 9-7 caliber team last year.

Between Pepp, Martz, Harris, and Taylor
I believe we’re at least a nine win team in ‘10, no matter how difficult the schedule looks. Forte and Urlacher are healthy, another year under the belt of Hester and CW means the team will be improved across the board. Now it’s time to go out there and prove all the doubters wrong.

I'm hoping so.
The schedule does appear to be much, much tougher this year.

Things tend to even out from one season to the next
AFC east is definitely a beast, but all those teams can be beat. Any given Sunday in my humble opinion. The NFC east won’t be as difficult cause the Skins and Eagles are in transition.

my favorite quote from that article
Peppers will really help the team this year, while Taylor and Manumaleuna provide nice depth. However, does a Martz offense have much use for a blocking tight end?
proof that he has done no more research on the bears than simply reading the highlights and making assumptions. youd thing a lions analyst would know more about their former OC and his use of players.
I wish there was a way to make players sit out while appealling a suspension
Because then the appeals wouldn’t drag on like this for what now, three years? I know it’ll never happen though because the Players Union would never sign off on such a thing and of course, it goes against the justice system in the country.
"I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.' - Chris Berman

The comments about Webb concern me.
Starting to sound like another guy that just expects it all to be handed to him.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
Meh
He’s only a 7th round pick, it’s not like Angelo drafted him as the answer to our problems on the offen… oh. Pants.
"44 years of football history and nothing to show for it. I wish I wasn’t banned at the Norseman.." - tfrabotta
Yeah, it would be nice to think
that we don’t actually need a 7th rounder to pan out.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
And you would think
a 7th rounder would have more of a sense of urgency.
It’s remarkable how out of touch some of these guys are.
Oh, but he got a fine education
from Northern West Texas A&M Christian State Tech, so I’m sure he’ll do just fine if the whole pro-football thing doesn’t pan out. He’s probably just distracted from football as he finishes up his Masters Thesis.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
Exactly. You'd think he'd be scared to death
that he’s gonna get cut, and would be working his ass off. I know it’s cliche, but some people really just don’t get it. It’s one thing to not be athletic enough or to struggle with the transition, especially coming from a small school. But to just not be willing to put in the work and try to learn everything you can from the coaches/veterans is just disgusting.
