IronMike84 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 It's going to depend on health. I think this is a top-ten defense and a bottom-twelve offense, IF the Bears are fortunate health-wise. Fans, local media, and national media have gone well out of their way to downplay how much injuries factored into last season's 3-13 record, which is a load of crap. Teams that stay healthy just have an easier path. See: 2010 Chicago Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 We have too much talent and a lack of glaring holes to go 3-13 again. That being said, Glennon sucks and will be the limiting factor of the team. 7-9 seems like a ceiling with him at the helm, and would be heavily dependent on the defense staying healthy.

That a couple of the main beat guys are roughly 12 years old doesn't help, either. Regardless, I feel like this is a 6 win team that is headed in the right direction. Foxy knows how to build a competitive team, and as long as Pace holds his water from here on out things should be looking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbo Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I look at their schedule (below) as: A) Lock to Win (or wins that should be wins): week 13, 16 B) Lock to Lose (or wins that would be upsets): week 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 14 C) 50/50 (too close to be A or B): week 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 Disclaimer - I'm generally cautiously optimistic, but rarely pick an upset for my Bears. If it looks like a bunch of doom picks that is what's behind it, nothing more. Formula: Wins = A + C/2 = 2 + 9/2 = 6.5 --> Roundown to 6 --> Rounddown for "Bears Factor" (you don't need to ask what this is) --> 5 1 SEP 10 12:00PMCDT ) FALCONS 2 SEP 17 12:00PMCDT ) AT BUCCANEERS 3 SEP 24 12:00PMCDT * STEELERS 4 SEP 28 7:25PMCDT * , ` AT PACKERS 5 OCT 9 7:30PMCDT + VIKINGS 6 OCT 15 12:00PMCDT ) AT RAVENS 7 OCT 22 12:00PMCDT ) PANTHERS 8 OCT 29 12:00PMCDT ) AT SAINTS 9 BYE 10 NOV 12 12:00PMCST ) PACKERS 11 NOV 19 12:00PMCST ) LIONS 12 NOV 26 12:00PMCST ) AT EAGLES 13 DEC 3 12:00PMCST * 49ERS 14 DEC 10 12:00PMCST ) AT BENGALS 15 DEC 16 3:30PMCST , AT LIONS 16 DEC 24 12:00PMCST * BROWNS 17 DEC 31 12:00PMCST ) AT VIKINGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
