Awesome schedule with a week 9 bye......week 4 bring on them packers
maybe it's my imagination, but that seems like a really tough schedule. Most of the "easy" teams are teams I think are on the upswing, so that's part of the problem. Start of the schedule looks really tough, softer final few weeks.
The schedule looks tough in the first 8 weeks but the last several weeks look soft. I don't like to predict anything; however, speculation is fun. So, here I go.
I think the Bears split with GB and Detroit, take Minny twice, beat Buffalo, Dallas, Tampa, Jets, Miami, and Hot-lanta. They lose to NE, SF, and Carolina. The game that could go either way right now, IMO, is NO. I could see them finish 10-6 or 11-5. Of course, they could also finish 6-10 or 13-3.
I know a lot of you hate predicting the season this early in the offseason, but fuck it. I'm bored and over a week out from draft day, so I'm going to start the bull shit.
To my pragmatic friends, I understand there are a lot of things that can change from now until the start of regular season, and things change during the season. But I'm having fun.

With all we have done on the D side of the ball, I have no feel for how this will actually play out on the field. So predicting this season is out for me. I just don't know. The schedule looks tough.
On a side note, I will be at the Carolina Game. Season ticket holder already promised me two seats for the Bear game.
Kind of rough for a team that has a lot of new faces on D. Would have much rather had the gauntlet at the back half. I'd be happy with 5-4 going into the home stretch, I could see 10 or 11 wins if that is the case. I have a hard time imagining that the D gels early though.
If the last couple yrs, are any indication . I'd say take the hard part of your schedule early. We've seem to have played better in the 1rst half of the season. 5 of the last 8 at home ( w/ a lot of DIV games) , I think works in our favor. Especially w/ few dome or warm weather teams included in the last 8.
Interesting... read your post and thought I was reading about the Packers schedule. Bears and Packers schedules have similar "challenges" this year.
Some of the similarities:
- Bears early road game at SF / Packers early road game at Seattle
- Bears 5 of 8 games on road prior to bye in Week 9 / Packers 5 of 8 on road prior to bye in Week 9
- Both have Week 9 bye and then Week 10 Bears play at Packers
- Bears 5 of 8 games at home in 2nd half / Packers 5 of 8 at home in 2nd half
- Bears Dec. game vs NFC South dome team in Dec. / Packers game vs NFC South dome team in Dec.
- Bears and Packers both have Detroit at home in late Dec. (another dome team)
One difference is Bears have 5 divisional games in final 8, Packers have only 3. Packers have divisional games weeks 3, 4 and 5.
If Packers can be 5-3 at the bye, I will like their chances to make playoffs. It appears the same for the Bears... if 5-3 at bye, probably sitting well to make playoffs.
