The point was, that anyone has a shot to win that divison, and despite what you would like to believe, the Bears, with their shoddy offensive line mind you, would have won the division in 2011 if Cutler didn't break his thumb. Then again going 7-2 before Cutler got injured after the first half in Houston and then missing the Monday night game in San Francisco. He may play teribly vs the Packers and throw picks, but he still wins games.
Despite what you may think, Green Bay is no longer up there on a pedestal either. Nick Perry coming back may be wonderfull, but missing Casey Heyward for a reportedly 6 weeks wont help that sieve of a secondary, and unlike the Bears' 'unknown' offensive line as you call it, the Packers' offensive line is completely 'known'. It's crap. It was the league's worst last year with Buluga healthy so I dont see how the status has upgraded with him on IR.
I think Chicago has as good a chance as anyone in that division this year and I dont think its the stretch you're making it out to be. I guess we just have to see how the games play out

Someone is butthurt...sorry man, Bears are gonna struggle mightily this year...again...particularly with Cutler still throwing picks everywhere.
As for the bolded...what? They were 11th in the NFL last year in yds against passing.....an entire 70 more yards than the vaunted Bears oldtimers. The run gave them more trouble. And no, you can say it all you want but it isnt anywhere near true...the Packers line struggled at times but was no where near the worst in the league.
And really...you wanna start blaming injuries for team troubles? GB was DECIMATED with them last year.
