Just like how Indys O is great but it just does not make up for their s***ty D .
Seemed to make up fine against the Bears last year. I'd say that they did a better job of handling it last year, if records are any indication....

It's hard for you really to talk about the Bears D when you don't watch the games, this preseason and even some last year they have been just ridiculous. Wait til September 11th when they shut down the Redskins and Portis runs for 42 yards.
I live in Iowa. I got a steady dose of GB, Chicago, and Minnesota last year. Now in Ames, it'll probably be more St. Louis and KC. If you paired the Bears D with a lot of other offenses, they'd be an upper-division team......the Bears could easily hold Portis to 42 yards and still not score enough points to win, you know, just to spite you guys....
Some of the posters here are banking on Mushin having a second career year in a row, while expecting Orton and Benson to be world-beaters when they haven't gotten much/any action in even a preseason game. Roethlisberger, Orton's not. I know what Orton and Benson did in college. Doesn't mean a damn thing until they start playing some NFL games.
