Well, they’re automatically 0-2 to start every year because they’re incapable of beating GB regardless of scenario. Outside of that they could be a playoff team with 10 wins.

With all our cap space and draft picks, we will be better. Even if Justin Fields returns, he will be better. If we draft a quarterback, we will have a great supporting cast. No way we’re below 500 next year, and we have a good chance of being 500 this year.

Assuming we get a competent HC, we should at least be in the race for the playoffs. The only “sure wins” would be 4th place teams we play, AZ, and the titans because I don’t think they improve much next season. The Rams could be a win too, they don’t play well in Soldier Field. It’s still too early to tell, have to wait until the draft and FA for me to give a confident answer

This is the last place schedule so it is the most favorable available. As the roster sits now it’s hard to say the bears will win more than 6 games. Our defense is fine but our offense will struggle to score on good defenses (SF, MN, TEN, JAX, DET,) and our offense will struggle to score enough points to keep up with good offenses ( SF, DET, HOU, LAR). They’ll probably split with GB and MN. Good chance they can keep up with AZ, TEN, and IND. I don’t have confidence in this organization.

probably 17-0 or so is my read

Seems like a pretty good schedule. I see four really tough games with DETx2, JAX, SF, and the rest are winnable if we improve this offseason (though obviously if we have a rookie QB that likely means another year below .500)

17-0. Caleb Williams MVP and Super Bowl MVP. Montez Sweat DPOY. Harbaugh COY. Virginia dies a week before the SB.

You never know at this point but on paper it looks difficult

The NFL has too much parity to know if a schedule is easy or hard a year in advance. Teams go from the top to bottom and vice versa in a offseason. Things change even by the middle of a season, the Broncos were historically bad at the beginning of the year now they are above .500 and won a bunch of games in a row.

Any idea if the AFC East game would be home or away? How is that determined?

Patriots Commanders Titans Rams Cardinals Panthers are all very winnable. I feel like if you put us up against those teams rn we have a good chance at winning. Obviously a lot can change in an offseason, and even with winnable games we drop some, but those are the ones I really would feel good about.

In division, I think our best chance is to split. Lions will continue to get good but we play them close, same with the Vikings. Packers have owned us for years but they aren’t the team they were.

Jags, 49ers, Texans, Colts and Seahawks will be tough and most likely losses. Niners are gonna be a powerhouse even after they lose some players to FA, Jax is looking like a great team, Houston and Indy both have VERY promising young QBs, and the Seahawks are not a bad team by any means. We probably squeak out a win or two here.

I think absolute best case scenario is we go 10-7, but we said the same type of stuff this last offseason and look where our team is now lol
