Interesting point about the rest of the division being down and the bears being up...but you can hardly use that to predict the future. I think there is still a good two or three good seasons out of a healthy bears defense to be had. HEALTHY mind you...

And here's the thing with the Packers...you watch what happens next year when they start facing all the teams that won their respective divisions this coming year...something they didn't have to do this season. Things will be a bit different...and if a team can figure out how to stop the slant, curl, screen pass combo that brett favre seems so successful with...it won't even need to be much to tumble this young team full of egos that are waiting to sprout this coming season...Javon Walker??? lol

If you think the bear's window is closed...then that means it was only really open for 1, maybe 2 seasons. Some believe they got rid of Mushin to keep Briggs...and with that LB crew and those corners and of course the D-line...then I think there is a chance there for the D to return to some pretty awesome heights...

That being said...Berrian could get his huge contract and be worthless if he doesn't get the attention he likes. The bears Wide outs dropped a lot of passes last year and I felt that was due to the horrible concentration level that comes when 1 out of 20 pass plays actually goes to a receiver.
