Gotta give em credit. Defense looks solid.
If they can keep Grossman healthy, might be something there.
Always depends on the "choke-ability" factor.
(like the Colts)

Before people start bitchin'


Q: Why does WFFT FOX55 televise some Chicago Bears games, but not others?

A: The NFL has very strict guidelines when it comes to televising games. Generally, CBS televises the AFC, and FOX televises the NFC.

In cases where a team from the AFC plays a team from the NFC, the game will be televised on the network that the visiting team is usually on. For example, if the Bears play the Bengals in Cincinnati, the game would be available to air on FOX55. But if the Bears were hosting the Bengals, the game would not be available to air on FOX55.


Q: Why did WFFT FOX55 air the Indianapolis Colts game rather than the Bears game?

A: Fort Wayne is a “peripheralâ€

Do you know the policy say if... the Colts were
a Sunday night game on NBC or Monday on ESPN.

Does CBS have a secondary requirement?

Monday nights are ESPNs and are planned in advance.

NBC can cherry pick a game, and if NBC or FOX want to give it up then NBC or FOX would provide regional feeds of other gamed to affiliates.

The NFL chennel will start carrying gmaes of thier choice after all the others have picked their games.

I dont know about CBS and secondary requirements
