Bears guaranteed sole possession of first place at least until Oct. 21

[Toast88]

Nothing earth-shattering, but kind of cool.

With the Packers loss yesterday, the Bears are guaranteed sole possession of first place in the division at least until Oct. 21, when they take on the Patriots at Soldier Field.

And if the Vikings somehow find a way to lose next week to the Cardinals (or the Bears beat the Dolphins), extend that out to Oct. 28, if I have my math right.

I hereby nominate Toast88 to keep track after each week of the sole possession of first place guarantee date.

If the Bears can somehow manage to do a Lions to the Patriots the final w/l record could be an amazing turn around, 12-13 in the win column.

The Patriots will have an acclimated Josh Gordon and Edelman. I don't think we will ever beat Brady. I also don't think we win the division unless we win three of the next four AND beat all division foes at least once. This is why I continue to root against potential wild card spot takers. Beating Seattle and Tampa is huge for us.

True that, my dude

I'm not holding much hope we beat Patriots. I think Patricia coming from the Patriots had everything to do with that.

I think winning the division is very doable. Especially if Trubisky's head is out of his butt for good.

I'm not holding much hope we beat Patriots. I.

Me neither. I just want it to be close. Last 2 times the Bears played the Pats they got killed, and haven't beaten them in 18 years. That said, who knows? This Bears team just might be different.

It doesn't happen much, but when you can get to Brady and take away his clean pocket, he is beatable. Exactly how the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. There defense just went on a roll at that time. I think that the Bears can get to Brady.

Let's not skip over Miami.

Let's not skip over Miami.

We can focus on any game and it won't change what the team does. They're the ones who can't skip Miami.

So does Toast keep tracking of the Bears 1st place week or not? Video did not give your vote.

Great job Toast!

Lets see how Fast Brady is running from our Dline / Mack Attack

We have a decent shot, from a talent perspective, of winning 3 of the next 4 (Miami might be down 3 starting Olinemen this week). I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we definitely don't get swept by the Lions, the 2nd Packers game is going to be that major indicator, honestly. We usually play the Vikes tough at home too.
