Troy Polamalu on Madden 2010 Cover, gets hurt in first game of the season. Ouch.
We play the Steelers in Week 2, and that is a huge loss for them if he is out (and a plus for us).
EDIT: Steelers coach Mike Tomlin indicated after Thursday's game that SS Troy Polamalu was initially diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his left knee. There's nothing "concrete" yet on Polamalu's injury, and Tomlin admitted that it could be more serious. Expect the All Pro to be sidelined for at least 3-6 weeks. - Rotoworld

Just set this one up, let me know if you want any settings changed.
Yeah, I can see us getting a lot of love from the pro-Cutler columnists. We have many things in are favor. I believe we are one of the harder teams to vote against. We have the same team + Cutler + coaching changes, which should improve on our record by at least a game or two compared to last year.
I also think many people forget that we make the playoffs last year with a win at Houston, and could've easily been 8-0 to start last season if it wasn't for 3 3pt or less losses (CAR, TB, ATL).
Brett Favre is in his division now and will play him twice (unless he gets injured by then), so the pressure is actually up. Plus he has to prove that last year was no fluke.
