We will know more after the Packer game. I can assure you Dom capers will be finding ways to expolit that line and abuse them like a red-headed stepchild....but with a suddenly weakened secondary Cutler will have a chance to be the man or keep up the childish antics...his decision.

What would you expect Cutler to do exactly? This is a QB who was sacked over 50 times last season, I believe ten more times then the next QB,and still too the Bears to the NFC championship game with a receiving core of Hester, Knox and Olsen.
Aaron Rodgers couldn't have led the Bears any further then they went last year. Far too much blame gets laid at the feet of Cutler when in reality he keeps the teams' hed above water. However I will agree that the team is likely about to take a nosedive to 3rd in the division until they can get a suitable line and some youth at linebacker with Briggs likely on the way out.
Regarding my statement about the Bear's being ahead of the Steelers and Ravens, I was measuring the teams on a power ranking scale. Tsaking last year's performance and the teams' performances so far this year into account you would have a hard time proving me wrong. The Bears the Falcons, the NFC's top record last year and lost to an obvious good team in New Orleans. The offensive line is shaky, but as of yesterday they only hand 2/5 starters playing on the line which didn't help things.
