I have a feeling you will be one disappointed football fan come winter. Given their weak division, the 49ers may host a playoff game, but I think they will be more in the range of 8 or 9 wins.

GoSox05 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I usually get pretty excited for the first preseason game, but by the second i'm done. I can only watch 5th string players play so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On StubHub, they go for less than 50% face because it's such a hot ticket. Donated tonight's tickets to charity for the tax write off. Even Packers tickets are super cheap on StubHub.

So, the Bears' had two "great" pickups, they have their whole team back, they added depth to their already-great ST unit, and yet, you have them 9-7. Logical.

I'll be shocked if the combined win total for GB-DET-CHI is only 32. Nonsense...the NFC West is great. They have the 49ers, which is the greatest team ever assembled led by the best QB taken in the 2005 draft. The Seahawks have TO and Golden Tate. The Cardinals have Larry Fitzgerald AND Michael Floyd (UNFAIR!). Sam Bradford is healthy again plus Jeff Fisher is now the coach and he won a whole 54 games in his last 7 years with the Titans. Oh, and as for the AFC South, don't forget how great Indy's defense is, how good Blaine Gabbert is, and Tennessee is just great getting to the QB.

They can beat all those teams, although wouldn't expect more than a split vs Packers. Will they win all those games I don't know, but I would consider them favorites vs Dallas/Carolina and it be a tossup between SanFran/Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Bears have 4 starting players on D that are over 30. The rest of the D is pretty young. The problem is that the 4 best players on defense are the older ones. Edited August 9, 2012 by GoSox05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also dont consider Peppers a guy who is slowed down with his age and Isreal will be rotated out quite a bit on passing downs. The secondary is young other than Peanut.
