Yes. They are returning all of their starters, and have added to their secondary in free agency and the draft. They've got Grossman back and healthy for the season (cross your fingers), and now have Griese as a suitable backup. At the receiver spot, Bradley was starting to come on last year before he got hurt, and Berrian hsowed some potential towards the end of the season, and obviously they have Muhammed in the #1 spot. As far as the tight end situation, they don't have a stand-out player at the position, but Desmond Clark is at least serviceable, and Ron Turner's offenses typically dont rely heavily on tight ends. The problem that I do see is what most see as the strong suit- running back. I've got a bad feeling they're going to end up going with a RB-by-committee situation, which I think is a bad idea. Platoon situations don't give either back a chance to get into a real rhythm. Jones is already not happy with the situation, and I'm sure Benson won't be after long. I think they do have a chance to go to the bowl this year, but I think they may be one more year away.

The Bears have a superb defense and play in a favorable division, as the Lions, Packers, and Vikings all stink and should again this year. The only problem is, the Bears have no talent at the skill positions except for running back with Cedric Benson. Muhammed does fairly well at receiver, but needs someone that get him the ball, which at this time, the Bears don't have. They should win their division and have an early exit from the playoffs like last year.

DA BEARS! This is the year. Last season the younger guys got a tast of winning and are now mature enough to take it to the next level in the playoffs. The quarterback situation is better with two veteran quarterbacks. The Bears will have two good running backs. The team has a lot of new needed speed at wide receiver, just hope they can catch. Defence should be as good as last year. They should be good.

If the Bears do not go to the Super Bowl and win it this year - I have no idea how they are going to do it another year. First of all they have the easiest schedule of all teams in the NFL. Second they are getting 21 of their 22 starters on offense and defense from last year. Third, Green Bay, Detroit and Minnesota have new coaches this year and totally new offensive and defensive schemes going into place. I am a die hard Bears fan and this is the Bears year.

Hell yea they have a chance. They still have the same Defense and have added to a weak offense. They have Rex Grossman back and a good back up in Brian Greise. They also are deep in young talented recievers. They also picked up a few special teamers to help out win the field battles.

It depends. They have a great defense and every team is going to have a hard time scoring on them, but their Offense needs a exactly what they got at the end of last year (regular season not the playoffs.) If that happens then they will have a very good year and could see themselves as the NFC team in the Super Bowl.

I think they do but they need some production from their tight end. They have all the tools to make some noise this year and being in the nfc central helps b/c their division sucks. If Grossman goes down again this year they have a quality b/u in Greise, and vise versa( not sure if they have decided yet). Still a defensive minded team but with the two quality RBs they have grinding out the clock should be no problem.

I see the Bears regressing this year frankly. Running back issues for real as Cedric Benson never really settled in last year. Plus not to mention the unsettled Quarterback and they wont be sneaking up on anyone this year. I see them 8-8
