DA BEARS

The Rams offense probably is a bit better than showed and the Bears D probably not as good as showed. The answer is more likely in between. It is hard to be up for every game 16 times. Even the 85 Bears let up like 38 points to the Dolphins.

Rams defense ... IMO over rated and over paid.

Didn't hear Suh or Donald's name called one time. Outstanding game plan by Nagy to eliminate their biggest threat (Aaron) on that D line.

Donald is phenomenal, but their defense, for all the off season acquisitions, you're dead on. Our d is better. BTW- what a bomb we avoided by missing out on Suh.

You can pay big-bucks for superstars but you can't buy chemistry. The Saints learned that the hard way through the 7-9 dregs.

Is this the earliest we've ever won the division?

No, we won the division this early in 2009.

Chase Daniel would have not only blocked that punt but would have scored then complete a pass to himself for the 2 point conversion!!

Going to be tough keeping the top seed. The schedule has not been kind to the Saints and very kind to the Rams. If the Saints finish in the 2 it would be nice if the Bears slipped into the other side of the bracket. They look a really good team on the rise in the next few years and the good work by Ryan Pace is really starting to show. Don't fear playing them as im not sure they can keep pace with the offense,even if there defense is as good as anything you have seen in a few years.
