I see 2 probable losses on that. @ SF and @ GB. You could talk me into @NE, @DET or @ATL. Even in my worse case scenario, that leaves 11 wins.

That's exactly how I see it. I believe they'll catch SF early enough where they will beat them.

The question is, if this isn't the year, what can the Bears possibly do to generate any hope for next year? If Cutler doesn't break a 90 QB rating for this year and the team misses the playoffs yet again, what possible excuse will the Bears come up with? Emery and/or Trestman would have to be fired, right?

Injuries would be the only plausible excuse.

No way either are fired.

@ falcons is a tough game

have to like Cowboys and two dome teams in December

Bucs are just early enough that Lovie won't be making his hard push towards 8-8 yet. IIRC the "third quarter" of the season was always his worst

Trestman would be ecstatic to be 4-4 going into the bye.

Yup. 4 of those 5 road games are tough. The Falcons are in line for a bounce back season.

I still don't think you can ever pencil in the Bears for a win at home against the Packers. The Packers wait until the playoffs to suck.

If Rodgers is playing, the Packers are better than the Bears. The Pack's talent pool seems to be in decline, but Rodgers is enough for now.

The Jets game has trap written all over. Having to fly to the West Coast for a night game and then East Coast is tough. Both defenses are full of mean SOBs and hit fucking hard.

They will lose the Pats game by 10 or more.

You could make a compelling argument that the Bears will lose games 2 through 8.

Well, of course YOU couldn't.

I'm talking about people grounded in something called "REALITY," though.

For Bears opponents?

I don't think things are quite that bleak, KRIVES.

No middle ground for this team. Either you are scared shitless that they will be terrible or you know the truth and realize that if they get by SF they have a shot to go 14-2.

I bet they beat the 49ers and lose to the Jets.

Yeah, but were not short on negativity

Is that a double negative? Seems like a 1.5 negative at most.

I have no problem believing they can win 11 games. I'd listen to arguments about 9. I'll laugh if you say 13.

I will guess 9 wins. San Fran will not be a Bears victory - that's the type of team that slaughters the Bears - physical, tough, and rush the passer. They will get in Cutler's head.

Agreed. No way this team stays as healthy as it was last year.

not losing to the Saints at home in December. This is not the Lovie's Bears. They can match the Saints score for score. I have that one in ink as a W.

I don't see how you cannot put @Detroit on Thanksgiving as a loss right now

This is a very difficult schedule.
