THe Queens did not look good last night, the Packers will not be able to continue to overcome the significant injuries that are racking up. Bears may not be elite yet, but they are playing at a high level, they are playing with a lot of heart, and they are winning games in different ways, building confdence along the way.

I look to the Bears to keep it up and the Queens to start putting things together, but still losing some tough games, and the Puke to fall off the radar.

yep had thought bears would be 11-5, packers 10-6, vikes 8-8 and lions 6-10.. only thing I would change now would be maybe one more "W" for us and a 9-7 and 7-9 for packers/vikes

I've had the Vikings missing the playoffs this year with GB winning the division. Looks like my Minnesota prediction seems to be on track.

Sporting news:

7. Green Bay Packers (4). This is a team built to fight through injuries, but QB Aaron Rodgers is irreplaceable

10. Chicago Bears (13). It was important to find their running game. Now, they must keep it up, regardless of the quarterback

19. Minnesota Vikings (17). Brett Favre-to-Randy Moss got a little warmed up in a loss Monday night. Up next: Dallas, Green Bay, and yes, New England.

yeah a large part of me had a 6-10 feeling for Vikes, but favre playing so shockingly well last year "tempered" that, but now wish had stuck with it..lolol.. and jared allen sure has also been a no show- guess that trip down to favre's ranch took too much out of him..lol

Seriously, you have to be worried if you are a Vikings fan. They could be 2-5 or even 1-6 in the next 3 weeks. That would be nearly impossible to overcome. If we win at home against them, we could drop them from the playoffs before we ever see them in the dome.

I am having trouble seeing the last game with GB for anything other than the last game before the playoffs. I would love for it to mean something, but if the Packers cannot "overcome" as they are "built" to do (LOL) then we could be seeing Hanie and Wolfe/Bell a lot in that game.

he actually wasn't very good at the end of last year either- which was when he did that "jorts' takeoff on favre's wrangler Commercials for ESPN... maybe its the curse of the "jorts"..: )

I don't get why some people get their panties in a bind if the bears are not ranked higher than other teams. It is someone elses opinion on the teams play. Hell the Shower Rankings are better than most so called experts predictions and rankings.
