TAMPA

Possible, but doubtful. The entire North sucks. Detroit is far an away the leader in terms of talent. After stomping the Pack in week 1 they laid an egg yesterday. Very Saints-like. Minnesota is overrated and GB is over the hill. I think it'll probably be Detroit. The Bears aren't anywhere as good as they appeared yesterday. I mean, they lost to Washington in week 1 9-7. My money's on Detroit, but the whole group is so bad you never know.

Maybe but I'll hold off until I see what Washington does tonight. That Bear D looked pretty darn good. Just hope the Saints bring it tonight.

Yeah - but it's different when it's intra-divisional. I mean, we smacked Tampa around twice the year that they won it all. The year we started 7-2 we lost to Detroit in week 3

I think Chicago is vastly under rated. That's a championship caliber defense as they've shown the past couple of years. If they could generate any offense at all, they could contend. I'm not saying Superbowls or anything, but better than a .500 record and a shot to surprise a few teams in the playoffs if they have to play at Soldier Field in the winter. If Baltimore won on defense alone, then anything can happen. Talent wise, Detriot definately is comparable with any team in this league. As far as the light switch turning on for these guys is a different story.
