Please keep in mind here I’m being respectful. I have a few questions for ya Chief. Please explain to me how the Bears are “overrated” and when you make that comment, who in your eyes is the cream of the crop? Who is hands down better than anyone else? Is it the Saints? Really? How’s that offensive line? What if they play someone who can stop the run and has a fast defense? Can the Saints hold up on defense? Is it the Rams who the Bears already embarrassed even with trubisky throwing 3 picks? Please don’t say the Chiefs who have no defense? The Chargers? Even though I’m not huge on stats, who has the best DVOA defensively? Who has the best turnover ratio in the NFL? Like most, my guess is you look at the pretty names....Brees, Mahomes, Rivers, Brady and you think because Mitch is young, he’s a hinderance because he doesnt have that “wow” factor.....Can the Bears not run the ball? Is Nagy and the offense not capable of exploiting the weaknesses of their opponents? People look at KC and the Saints but what happens when those teams play a team defense that can get to the qb with 4 and who has speed everywhere? What about our linebackers who are arguably the best unit in the NFC with their speed and tackling ability? What about the secondary? What about our d line? You not watch any bears games this year?  My guess is that last year you prolly thought the same about Philly when Foles went up against hall of fame quarterbacks? No chance, overrated? 

 Defense travels as does a running game and if Mitch can take care of the ball, the bears may be the best team in the NFL. Hell....whoever takes care of the ball best usually wins so throw in the BEST defense in football, I love our chances as do many. I’m from Chicago but there’s no bias here brotha. None. This team easily could have been 13-3 this year. The giants, dolphins and first packers games were all wins if not for a few plays. The patriots scored 14 on special teams; that hasn’t happened again.....

Let’s take the Chiefs, Saints and Rams here......Rams lost to the bears and is goff that much better than Mitch? Nope. The chiefs have no defense so because I weigh defense heavily over offense I can make statement of the Chiefs being overrated too. I think they are very good though. The Saints? Look at how they’ve played down the stretch? Have they protected Brees? What happens when the run game is stopped? Did you watch the Dallas game? Listen I think it could be Brees year but to think there is one team hands down better than anyone.....that’s nuts. ANYBODY can be beat but to da y the bears are overrated? That might be the most far fetched comment I’ve read all year. If we can get Callahan back and Jackson is ok, watch out. All the best to ya but I had to respond to your comments above.

Both of those teams look good with a tease, my top would still be rams or vikings

Looks like a game that Miami wouldn't show up for. Still no way I'd lay -5 with Josh Allen though

You missed the whole point, bro...I was rating them in the context of the great defenses of the last 40 years like the  mid decade SEAHAWKS I mentioned..there's no competition this year, nothing even good...and if you played that team, your much worse offense would send you home early

Not a team in the NFL who would take Trubiskey over Goff.

I got your point Hoyas but wanted to touch on the big picture with the Bears. The whole 9. Why not right? Simply put, this defensive unit is just as good as the ones we’ve had in the mid 2000s when we went to the super bowl. It’s right there. Deeper secondary, better pass push and linebackers arent as good but they are still very good. The Ravens defense from when they won the super bowl and the 85 bears and the Seahawks during that four year run were some of the best. Bears aren’t far from them. There ya go. Nothing overrated about our defense if we stay healthy. To be number in DVOA against the run and pass and have the best turnover ratio....that’s a good start. Can Mitch take care of the ball though? This is important because if not, it creates short fields for teams and puts a lot of stress on the defense.

Goff is above average. That’s it. Apple and Apples when speaking of goff and Mitch imo. My opinion.

Great job LC. Good Luck to you on the card.

Just one thing to point out(since I know my Bears well)

Sherrick McManis might be a better slot corner than Callahan. It's rare that a team can lose someone as important as Callahan and have a replacement as good if not better. Eddie Jackson will be missed.
