I'm glad that's settled. Last year the 49er's defense ranked 2nd in PPG with 14.3 PPG, the Bears 14th @ 21.3 PPG. No major additions or subtractions for either team, so yeah, I'd say that's fairly accurate, especially with the question marks regarding Urlacher. http://footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef2011 Look at that schedule difference. the bears played 10 games against top 10 offenses. Considering who was on the field lining up against them, there was no one close to them in terms of difficulty.
