How far will the Bears go this season?

I predict playoffs with a wild card exit..

What do you think?

 

[bear4life21]

I picked Division game exit. record prediction of 10-7. the back half of our schedule is brutal.

Best offense, top5 defense, means Super Bowl.

Where's the 8 win option?

I have to say this every year because a lot of guys have us winning "on paper" games and making "on paper" playoff appearances...

...but everything has to go right in order for the Bears to make a playoff appearance.

Caleb Williams would have to look like a starter after about 5 effing games. "Showing flashes" doesn't get playoff appearances.

We'd have to be extremely lucky with injuries. Our depth chart is still not good.

You've got a new OC, rookie QB, rookie WR, and a new vet WR who's 32 yrs old - what are the chances they aren't "3-and-out" a lot?...especially early on.

Can they beat a bad team like Tennessee in the opener? Can they beat bubble playoff teams from last year like the Colts and Jaguars in the first 6 games?

Seems to me, winning 3 out of the first 6 games would bolster the perception of a young playoff team.

The scheduling worked out perfectly for CW - no divisional games until after the bye. What a gift by the league. Seems to be by design.

What do you think?

I think Diaper needs to make polls public, that's what I think.

London, seemingly.

The oline and dline will expose them

I think you need a life.. desperately.. try it some time

OL actually has some depth now. I'm not worried about it. Wont be amazing, but maybe the NFL will allow the bears to hold on every play like the packers, or false start without a penalty every play like the chiefs tackle.

I am worried about the defense being bad because of the dline. That back 7 seems like they can be dominant but wont mean shit if demarcus walker is your starting edge

Fingers crossed for a vet june 1st cut

The oline lacks solid players and their best player is prone to injury...

There is a razor thin margin on the oline and any attrition will cause problems. I think the oline is better than last year, but that isn't saying much.

I'd consider Braxton, Tev, Davis, and Wright all average or above average at their position. Isn't that the actual definition of solid? lol

They have a lot of depth now too, unlike last year. It all comes down to bates and center, if he plays well then the OL should be more than fine. If he sucks it will be a long long year

 

[msadows]

Plus the backswing swing tackle from Hinsdale said he wont let caleb get touched. Why would he lie?

Until they actually perform on the field I can't say this is a good oline....

They had let downs in big games and big situations....for me it goes beyond just stats

I think England is the farthest we go this season about 4000 miles.

 

[Dhipur]

The DL is concerning.. they lost the main DT and only drafted a project DE..

 

[HeHateMe]

If that is your definition of life.. go ahead.. at least I am not looking to comment on the poster than the actual post.. as I said try to have a life.. at least try..

U literally commented on me, Diaper. I commented on your post, stating polls have a public option and encouraged that you use it.

I think you are getting it twisted, Diaper.

 

[HearshotKDS]

I think they go 9-8 and likely make the expanded playoff round.
