Don't give them too much credit. All the pieces from last year's passing game are returning (except McD) and our running game and defense should be improved, but..... our rush defense is still looking questionable (which was a huge part of our downfall last year) and we have zero depth. With very, very few exceptions, if we suffer any injuries anywhere, we're humped. Denver will be better than last year, I have no doubt about that. But we're not going to be monsters either- there are just far too many weaknesses keeping us from being serious contenders to fix in one really jacked up offseason.
In other news, Bears linebacker Lance Briggs (you know, the guy who's been a better linebacker than Urlacher for quite some time) has formally requested a trade as soon as possible after the team made it clear that his contract would not be re-done before the season, nor would it be done after the season (he has three years remaining).
argle bargle fffffffffffffffffffffffff whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Watch as every player gets injured tonight.
Of course, now I have to say the same thing for Kansas City that I said for the Broncos...... don't give them too much credit. Last year, even when they won all those games, they didn't exactly have "clearly superior" written all over them and this preseason appears to have been a fairly impressive step backwards for them.
Last year they looked like an 8-8 team to me that managed to snag a couple of wins. Haley does indeed look like an idiot, but I wonder if there's as much talent there as you think there is. I try not to put to much stock into preseason, but man did a lot of KC starters look really bad playing against guys that the Packers are going to cut.
