Being a Minnesota Vikings fan I hate to say this, but the Bears are for rel. Maybe Stephen Colbert will ad them to his list.

At 5-0 you have to say yes. But they also don't look as invincible as some people seem to think. The NFC is very weak this year, and the Bears have a soft schedule, they should come out as NFC champs. They did struggle a bit against Minnesota's defense, which doesn't say much for their chances against the better AFC teams (their offense is way overrated). All of the good defenses besides Chicago are AFC teams. I'm going to have to reserve judgement until they play New England, and even if they beat them, I'm not sure I like their chances if they meet one of the good defensive teams in the superbowl. San Diego, Baltimore, Denver, even Jacksonville could be a handfull. Then again, of those teams, only San Diego has an offense and who knows how Schottenheimer would handle the superbowl, so it's anybody's guess this year.

I regret to say this. But Oh yeah. That D is probobly the best (or second best) (behind the ravens) as the best D squad. The only thing is they also have some O as well. Rex looks Decent but they have Moose and they have a Rookie Berrian who is looking good. Thomas jones and Benson have ran strong and I dont see anyone scoreing more then 14 points on them in one game.

I like what I have seen. The coach is good. They have a bit of playoff experience. Grossman looks good , but must stay healthy. They can run the ball, add that to maybe the best defense in football and they are primed for a playoff run. It is still early though so who knows who the injury bug will hit.

We wont know how real they are until the playoffs, their schedule is pathetic, if they didn't go 14-2 or better, they don't deserve to play football ever again. Clearly though even against good teams they'll play alright if they're this consistent...but beating crap hole teams or Seattle without Alexander doesn't really show me what I want to see from them...can't wait for the playoffs.

The reason that they were questionable last year was because they had no vertical passing game. This year with their offensive scheme, as well as excellent play from guys like Bernard Berrian, that component has been added to their game, as well as their notoriously dominant defense. Yes, they are for real.

obviously i mean there 5-0 and beat the seahawks wait....no killed the seahawks and no team has come close to beating them except maybe the vikings but i gotta think that, that was luck. bottom line NO TEAM CAN SCORE MORE THAN 10 ON THEM AND THEY WILL SCORE AT LEAST 20 POINTS IN A GAME.

Theres only two numbers that matter here, 31.2 and 7.2. They mean 31.2 points scored per game against 7.2 points allowed per game. That should be all you need to know about whether they're for real or not.

Well, they certainly aren't fake... They couldn't fake a 37-6 victory over the reigning NFC Champions (who, at the time, were also undefeated).
