My post on their thread.

"First of all, I'm a Skins fan but I do live in reality.
1) Our offense is unproven, but our offensive line is one of the more dominant ones in the league. Portis will have a field day barring the Bears having a banner day during an AWAY game.
I'm sure they'll be up to the challenge, I doubt any backs from both teams will have a banner day, this will be a defensive battle IMO.
2) Yes, you had many starters out last year, but I don't believe the starters who are coming back are enough to make an impact against Portis.
I thought you lived in reality ? Urlacher, Brown, O-Gun, and Tillman. LOL
3) Our passing game has been improving steadily since the preseason started, but I'll believe that when I see it.
Nice to see you come back down.
5) I too was worried about the Skins overlooking the Bears, but it's opening day so that worry is alleviated momentarily.
I don't think the Redskins or the Bears are in any position to overlook any teams at this point.
6) Two words: Matt Schaub. He is living proof that you can be king of the preseason and suck during the regular season. Not to say that Orton won't light it up, but Schaub and Orton have striking similarities.
Totally irrelevant. "

Really. bearsfan8558 is a Skins fan. That has to be the cleverest screen name ever then. You must really throw people, showing up at Redskins pep rallies with your Urlacher jersey on.

The simple truth is that your team may end up pretty good, but they aren't going to start out there. Orton will see defenses that stymied seasoned veterans last year. I wouldn't expect much out of him on Opening Day. He may turn out great, but he's going to have to build his way there.

As for Thomas Jones, he's a good back, not a great one. If he was really all that some of the posters here claim he is, why would the Bears waste the 4th overall pick on a RB they obviously had no contract parameters set up with?
