10-6 or 11-5, as I think they will beat Chiefs or Cowboys, but not both.


The Bears play the Broncos with an extra three days of preparation against a defense Nagy saw all last year. There is a chance they will lose and Denver is a challenging road spot but there is no way in the world I'd predict a loss. That game is set up perfectly for a Bear W. They then play the skins with an extra day of prep as well. 3-0 is a likely start.

Then they play the Vikings at home, the Raiders in London and the Saints at home with two weeks of rest. The next week they play a west coast team (Chargers) at a noon start at home.

Bears will be favorites for the first 7 weeks of the season and really should win each of those games.

I am so confident I may not even watch until game 8 at the Eagles.


Uh oh, I also have them going undefeated through the first seven games-- and possibly the first nine.


They will be favored in each of those first 7

Very fortunate road schedule. Even the game in L.A. against the Rams will be more like a home game with all the meathead Bears fans in attendance. Plus, while Goff might go off against lesser opponents where he actually has a bit of time in the pocket, he will get eaten alive by the Bears defense.

At Philadelphia is the scariest one because they have PFF’s top offensive line for 3 years running now.


I think that at the end of the season, the Rams got exposed offensively with the real limitations of Goff.

Nah. Once Green Bay kicks their ass in the season opener expectations will adjust accordingly.

This defense is set up to make Roquan Smith a star.

Double digit sacks and some discussion for DPOY will be heard (a bit prematurely)




Been saying since his draft Roquan might actually be the best/most talented player on this defense once he develops. He was a great blitzer in college when he was used that way.. I had to defend that on draft night too because people thought he couldn’t get off blocks but there’s gifs I found of him truck sticking O-linemen on his way into the backfield. He’s a very dangerous player if he takes that next step. Can pretty much do everything well at his position -defend the pass, stop the run, rush the QB.. it’s going to be interesting to see how good he actually gets, but all the tools for greatness are there.


Yep. It is also going to be very interesting what the effect Pagano is going to have philosophically with this defense.

Don't be pissy with reality. MANY see injuries, regression and a bad QB equating to 4-12.

Leave FF and Kirkwood alone. They only have about twenty more days to be optimistic about their team's chances of being better than 8 wins this year. They will learn the hard way sooner or later.

I don't really disagree with any of that. Being favored is different than them actually winning. One could easily make a case for the Bears starting 7-0, I'm just saying I don't see them being undefeated at their bye week simply because its the NFL and crazy shit happens.

If dolphin had balls he would predict 16-0. Sounds like he wants to.

Even the late season Chiefs game in Chicago isn't a slam dunk defeat.

7-9 seems like the kind of record you put up after you overachieve and win the division.

I didn't see a game besides the Chiefs game that I felt would be a tough matchup for the Bears. Even then I wasn't certain that they would lose. I understood that picking a team to go undefeated was ridiculous.

You could make a legitimate argument that the Bears underachieved last year. They probably should've been 15-1.

Indeed. They also failed to win a playoff game. That is a monstrous underachievement.

If the Bears went 7-9 this year, they would without question be the biggest disappointment in the NFL.

On paper I see them being a better team than last year over-all. But their schedule is brutal so their record may be worse than last years. That is okay with me. Like with all teams, injuries are probably the key to every season. If any of the top teams qb goes down, their season is pretty much over. That is just the way the NFL is right now. Where in the past, top teams had good back-ups, this is not the case right now if the qb goes down for a long time. The Bears are no exception.

Nope. I see the Chiefs as even with the Bears over-all. The only team better than the Bears are the Patriots.

That and Mitch's "development" will be the defining factors. 9-0 start and a 13-3 record will Not happen.


The Bears have really good depth at most positions. QB would be the position that scares me the most.

Go through their schedule week by week and let me know what you think they will do. Most of their big games are at home.

I agree with this. There is just too much odd stuff that can happen in a given week. I just can't see them starting 9-0 and going 13-3. They will lose a few games they aren't supposed to like the Giants and Dolphins games last year.

Wowie. Sure told me, shit for brains. There is not argument whatsoever. Your prediction of a 4-12 Bears record is so stupid that it is dismissed by anyone who knows a thing about football. YOu are obviously just a dingbat who hates the Bears and wants to spew his crap on the Bear's board. I think that what I just stated pretty well identifies what you are really all about.

The Bears have $22M in cap space so anything can happen.
