i feel like some of you guys are overlooking this game as an easy win. they have improved from last year, and while orton can be the next peyton manning or the next ryan leaf, we can't overlook him. Orton is probably a servicable qb, could be a respectable qb, but only time will tell. I think this game is gonna be another tough challenge, they are probably gonna put 8 guys in the box to stop portis, and we have to make them respect our passing game. i expect a close game.
didn't manning go 1 and 15 his first year? roth did better, but he had a great team around him... the bears D might be top 15, but its not #1 and the WR corp isn't as good (though moose is a good #1), and you've got an RB that was so good they had to get another, a talented rookie RB who may not play much and will be worthless in pass blocking, and an oline that allowed 66 sacks (leading the league) how is a rookie (who generally tend to hold the ball longer) going to get the ball out to his one decent WR like that?
