Light, Koppen, Neal are locked down. Capwise, we’re sittin pretty so the most important guy on that line, Mankins, should be locked down. Warren, Wilfork, Seymour, all locked down. As for your old guys, Im referrin to Brian "Look Ma No Back!" Urlacher, OGun, and your safeties. if you can bring Briggs back, good for you. I dont know enough to comment on that situation but is he comin back. My whole point is this, don’t hope, you better build a team to beat us cause we’re set for a while.

In response to ChrisL: All of the young guys you stated are all great players that will demand large contracts. Everyone knows the Patriots have a great offensive line, which means they will eventually be too expensive to keep. As far as the Bears D getting old, who are you referring to? Tommie Harris? Nathan Vasher? Charles Tillman? Lance Briggs? They are all young and playing like superstars. Oh wait, Urlacher is old, yet he still leads his team in tackles.

Your best bet is to root for the Packers out of respect for the old man. Then hope he retires and rides off on his lawn tractor to mow the rest of Mississippi.The agony is rooting for the Pack. The ecstasy is the fact the Bears swept them this year and of course knowing that while old #4 has had a great run, it will soon be a note in history. The Bears fan salutes Favre the competitor, while hating the Pack, and allowing the egomaniacal Patriots to get their final comeuppance.

We’ll get too old? Let’s look at where we built our team, the lines, and their age for next year. D-Line: Wilfork 26, Seymour 28, Warren 27. O-Line:Light 30, Mankins 26, Koppen 28, Neal 31, Kaczur 29. Skill positions? Welker 27, Watson 27, Brady 31, Maroney 23, Moss (may not be back) 31. Our secondary might take a hit with Asante, we might lose Moss, and yes our LBS are old. But the core of this team is going to remain intact for a long time. That 7th pick wont hurt either. While you wait for us to get old, we’ll be winning more championships. Sorry it took you guys so long to figure out what any sane football fan knew, Kyle Orton should’ve been playing all along. And now you’re D is old and not the same.
