I honestly dont belive the Bears have the best D. Sure they dont give up the points, but htey do give up the yards now.

Seattle isn't the best, but they deserve to be an option.

San Diego for me. Amazing pressure with their front three and linebackers.

Bears. But it'll be interesting to see how they play later on when they get some rougher teams.

I'm glad the Chargers are making me look good. I said before the season started that they were the 2nd best D in the league (of course whooping the Raiders and Titans doesn't take much).
Anyway, it's Chicago. Chicago was the best last year and they only got better. What is there really even to argue?

It's debatable that the Bears were the best last year, but I won't bother debating that since it's a moot point.
Last year doesn't matter that much because even if the Bears got better, so did other teams. Say the Bears were a A- defence last year, with the next best team being a B+. Maybe the Bears improve to A this year, but the team that was B+ improved to A+.

Chicago followed by San Diego. Baltimore isn't even top 5, they just have played really really bad teams the first 2 weeks (oakland should have the top pick in the draft, and Tampa has been the worst offense in the NFC to date)

1. Bears
2. Chargers
3. Baltimore
One team that no one said is Pittsburgh. They have a great run D, and pass D is darn good too.

I'm extremely critical of our defense, and IMO we haven't played like we're capable of yet, and that's scary.
And in today's game I was very disappointed. Maybe it was the game plan, or maybe it was just how we played, but our pass coverage was not good IMO. We left to many guys open.
Run defense was very good, as was the pressure on Kitna, but not the pass defense.
To be honest, we don't look like a top tier defense right now. And maybe I'm being to critical, but it's just how I see it.

What are you talking about? They all played really really bad teams in the first 2 weeks. San Diego played Oakland as well if you forgot, and Tenessee, Chicago beat Green Bay and Detroit, while Baltimore beat Oakland and Tampa Bay. I still say Chicago, but you can't say they didn't play equally bad teams, and atleast Tampa Bay was a playoff team.

I'm with ya. Baltimore is a very good defense. Ray looks to be back to his old form, although I don't think he's as good. Your secondary is insanely good. Your DL is underrated IMO and you've got a nice LB core.

1) Baltimore
2) Bears
3) Chargers
4) Falcons
5) Broncos
Ravens are looking like a Super Bowl team.

Not sure right now. Ravens, Bears, and Chargers are impressive so far, but all against bad teams so far.

Agreed. I personally feel Jacksonville will have a top 5 defense coming against a very hard schedule.

Detroit is not a bad team. They're an average team and I'll keep saying that.
I mean they did play with Seattle.
They're a solid offensive team and a solid defensive team.
