I put the odds at one in six.
Everything is there except the Offensive Line.
Other then that it's a pretty good team.

8 to 1
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!

Bill Parcels had a saying that good teams only had to worry about a 3rd of the league, the 2nd third would find ways to beat themselves b/c of poor coaching, and the other 3rd would be poorly run from management up. If you believe the Bears are well run and well coached, I'd say about 1 in 10.
Well don't the favorites run about a 6 to 1 odds? (Patriots*, and P...Pac...ahh... Fackers)
So I think "realistically" 12 to 1.
Now with that being said, only one ending should be expected: SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!

I think we've "bet the farm" on this offensive line this year. If (big IF) they are as good as Tice says, then we have a Super Bowl caliber team. If the line is mediocre, then we still may be "OK" and go into the playoffs. If the oline sucks, the season will be pretty bad. Third place in the NFC-N.

Thanks For The Memories
The bigger concern is how well our defense is going to play. Once again do Bears fans not remember how well the Bears offense played with Cutler during that 5 game win streak? Do we not remember how banged up that line was because of the injury to Carimi early on? Do we not remember we had a G playing C and a C playing RG and a RG playing RT?
Our O-line was not the problem during the 5 game streak. In fact, Cutler's injury had absoluetly nothing to do with poor O-line play. I think some of you guys are reading so many articles about the Bears O-line being a concern that you have completely forgotten what happened last season. The only way our O-line is a concern this year is if we suffer all the key injuries we did last year.
Cutler has NEVER been knocked out for the season, as a Bear, because of poor O-line play. So let's deal with the facts and cut all this hypothetical bullshit about the O-line being our biggest concern going into the season because it isn't. Our defense has more questions than our offense.

The only questions on defense is whether age will finally catch up to them.
That's what I'm concerned about. I don't want to have a defense like the Packers did last year. That's my concern going in. Because there were so many games last season where the Bears defense looked like nothing specal against teams that can actually put points on the board. This defnse isn't the one from '05 - '06. I think many of us are still in denial of what we have now for a defense.
