Re: NFL Season - 3 underrated teams
[ QUOTE ]
Why doesnt anyone ever mention the Chicago Bears when it comes to underrated teams?
They were one screwed up call (vs. lions) and one blocked fg ran back for a TD (also against lions the other game), from a 7-9 record. Granted tahts not a great record, but Minnesota made teh playoffs with an 8-8 record.
The Bears have argueably the best defense in the NFL. They were NOWHERE near healthy last year. Urlacher is a beast. People forget that he played 7 less games last year than Ray Lewis and still has more FFs, INTs, and sacks. The starting offense has given up one TD this preseason so far and is looking very good. They upgraded the offensive line, wide receiver position (muhammad and mark bradley look good), they have 2 of the top 6 running backs this preseason so far (thomas jones and adrian peterson) and they just signed bensen. Granted they have a rookie starting, but with a good defense and running game and a QB who doesnt throw the game away, they can win alot of games. Think of pitt from last year. Not to mention they have a very weak schedule this year.
Just curious why everyone overlooks them so much

mostly the QB situation I imagine. Too bad they didn't take Derrick Johnson from TX and make the most disgusting defense ever.
