How good will Da Bears D be the first half of next season?

I'm not all that worried about the Bears. I could be wrong but they don't really seem like dynasty material to me. Someone who is much less lazy than I can fly in here and give us the records of SB losing teams over the last twenty years or so. They tend to flop, if I am not mistaken.

The Redskins season will hinge on their record in the division. I would like to see them do what they did in 2005 and sweep the home games and go 2 for 3 on the road. We must find a way to win in NY. Especially since we have the Jets there as well. Winning two at the Meadowlands would be an enormous confidence boost after what's happened there the last two seasons. If they can get those 5 wins, they should be able to get to 11 wins overall without much trouble. In 2005 they lost all four AFC games and still got to 10 wins, so 11 or even 12 is doable. This is the year. Now is the acceptable time. Let's get fired up. 40 men together can't lose, etc., etc., etc.

The Bears could very well be 4 and 4 with loses to the Chargers, Cowboys, Eagles, and Chiefs (or one other team...). I'd be surprised to see them better than 5-3. They could also easily be 3-5 in the second half of the season with loses to the Seahawks, Broncos, Giants, Redskins, and Saints. There offense will need to take a step forward for them to repeat last years feat.
