No defense and no running game results in no wins.

 

Final Record: 6-10

 

 

4) Chicago Bears

 

As we saw last year from the Bears, the defense has to stay healthy in order for them to win. Chicago needs to force turnovers and as many three-and-outs as they can for this team to score points.

 

The only offensive threat they have is when the other team either kicks or punts the ball to Devin Hester, but that is happening less and less often.

 

If I were an opposing team I would kick the ball out of bounds every time. On punts you don’t push them back as far, but it may be worth it because Hester can take anything and turn it into a quick six for Chicago.

 

On kickoffs I would kick the ball out of bounds and take the penalty every time. Force the Bears' offense to score on your defense. I guarantee you have a better shot at success than kicking the ball to Hester.

 

Who is playing quarterback for the Bears this year? Both Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman split snaps before Kyle Orton won the job. But does it matter? I doubt it.

 

The two have not played well since their junior years of college. Look it up if you do not believe me. Both were on the short list for the Heisman going into their senior years and by the halfway mark of the season they were not mentioned anymore. My only question is whether Daunte Culpepper was offered the starting job with the Bears. At least he used to be good.

 

Final Record 3-13
