As an outsider, I think the Bills is a given. Jets are jeckyll and hyde because one game their offense performs and the next they have rookie growing pains. Lions are a divisional rivalry that could be a toss up but home games must be won. I will say 70% you guys go 3-0 and 30% you guys go 2-1. With the caveat of health and not having a rash of TOs

Rainbow. Bears lose all 3. If the Vikings can't beat the Bills then the Bears certainly can't.

I can see Chicago getting all three of those wins. Detroit would be the only question mark for me. I'm loving how the Bears are playing, especially on offense, lately.

lol well arent you just a ray of sunshine.

Bears fans are ridiculous.

Bears lost to the Patriots yesterday, by a half of a yard, and our QB had a terrible game. The kid still accounted for over 400 yards and 3 TDs, and we were competitive with one of the best teams in football.

Bears fans reactions? "Our QB is shit, our team is shit, our coach is shit...blah, blah blah.

I'm kidding dude. Although with how they seem to be able to lose any game they should win, it wouldn't completely shock me. Buffalo would, but the Jets and Lions have some talent.

The Bears have proven they can win 3 in a row as they've already done it this season. Having 2 of the 3 at home and the one on the road being a team somewhat in turmoil helps...BUT...While we are better, we have some serious inconsistencies in all 3 phases of the game to the point where I want all 3, but a reasonable expectation is 2.

Our ST's is lacking any punch outside of Cohen on punt returns. Benny Cunningham reminds me of Leon Johnson where you know it's going nowhere. And don't even get me started on how we won't even try a 58 yarder with no time left on the clock at half regarding our kicking game. Throw in a blocked punt TD and, well, yeesh. We're not anything special in that phase, that's for sure.

Our offense is better, but wildly inconsistent and you can point to QB play, play-calling and a couple horribly timed fumbles by our running backs.

Our defense, which is supposed to be our strong point, has really been a big letdown thus far-because of the expectation. It's not so much that we give up points...but HOW we give up the points. Multiple 10 or less yard checkdown-type passes that get housed? Really? Talent-wise, we're better than that. We've got solid players at every position (well, I'm starting to dislike Floyd, but he's still a fairly decent "weak link"). I don't think any play this season has pissed me off more than James White wide open 5 yards up the field in the middle of the field with nobody even f*cking near him on a 3rd and 2. I wanted to smash something after that play...That hasn't happened in some time.

Either way, I would be leery to start playing the win-counting game with this team. Too much inconsistency to expect 3 in a row again until they're officially in the books. Every week has been damn near a heart attack with the exception of Tampa, I expect no less next week until shown otherwise.

3-0 since we are playing Detroit at home, keeping the hope alive. Buffalo and NYJ are horrible teams.

Yeah, all I gotta say is if this team has aspirations, they had better go 3-0 against that particular slate.

We'll go 2-1... Money would be on the Lions being the loss, but I could see us dropping the Jets game and bouncing back to beat Buffalo and Detroit...

Don't forget the hopes of death of our owner. Bears lost and she won't die, what a bitch.

Before the season began everyone was gonna be happy with a 500 record and a growing young QB. Now we got both things we wanted and are even less happy. LOL I love being a Bears fan.

It's honestly amazing. lol. Lost by a yard despite giving TWO SPECIAL TEAMS TD's to Tom Brady and the Patriots.

So fucking ridiculous. It's way worse these last two weeks than I've ever seen it too. Emotional, knee jerk messes that half of this board is.

Christ on the cross... we've held a double digit lead in every loss. Two of them were to Brady and Rodgers. We're right there. It could not be more obvious. In every game, we've done a bunch of good things. Closing out games and consistency comes with experience.

If you don't think this team will progress throughout the middle and second half of this season... you simply have not watched football long.

Bears fans expect everything to be a finished product immediately. It's amazing. "Trubisky is imperfect 20 starts in! My god! Must be a bust!".... "We're 6 games into the Nagy era, with a huge amount new personnel... but we're not closing the door on Rodgers and Brady! My goodness! What a nightmare!"

If I would have told you before the season that we'd be 3-3 with three .500 or below teams coming up. Two at home... you would have taken that.

Everybody here could use about 26 bong hits and a little fucking perspective.

I'll make it easy and just check in after each of these next three wins or something... Because this will clearly die down when we reel off a couple.

Children... Complete and total juveniles.

I feel pretty good about these three. At least, the first two. I'm not sure what Detroit is yet... but at home. I still like us more than I do them.

I think the D has a couple bounce back performances vs lackluster offenses in NYJ and BUF. I think the team is fully aware that it's time to f'n go.

I also think Mack should sit if he is as hobbled as he was vs NE still. I think the D is still good enough to win vs New York at home without him.

It's honestly amazing. lol. Lost by a yard despite giving TWO SPECIAL TEAMS TD's to Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Lost by a yard? A lucky hail mary catch would have given us a tie. Or are you just going to assume we would of won that game had White scored there? Quite a leap considering how fortunate it was that the hail mary pass even completed in the first place. But then again I am speaking to a monkey so i guess it makes sense.

The two losses and even a couple of the wins exposed a more sinister underlying problem the stat head dummies and exaggerators like yourself can't see: Trubisky. And that is the concern. Our team record is meaningless bc everyone knows we're not going to the SB. It's all about Trubisky. And he is showing things that give me great pause. And that, is where the pessimism comes from, NOT the two losses you silly monkey.

Btw I want to address this lol notion of we would be better of had Howard gotten more carries: LOL.

I'd love to see us go 3-0 of course, but I'd be ok with 2-1. If however we lose even just two of the next three, I'll undoubtedly be kissing off any hopes for the playoffs. 9-7 just might be enough to nab one of the WC spots this year, but if we're 4-5 after the next three games, it means we'd have to go 5-2 in that brutal second half just to have a shot. Wouldn't like those odds at all.

Not everyone Noon.....I predicted wildcard.....
With the defense we had last season and the addition of Roquan Smith,wrs,a te and better play by Trubisky,lead me to believe we have that typre of team.....But now our defense has been average,Trubiskys wild throws and ints,Howard being a disappointment,I'm not sure anymore.....Its not like we are playing the best teams out there Miami.....And don't say NE is/was,because if 87 was playing,that games not close.......

and to add to the above,the only way we make the playoffs is most likely winning the division......which is well within reach...…...I just don't believe GB has the team and I think we beat Minn one of the two...……..

1 down, 2 to go.
