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?
