I think we are a product of our schedule so far. I’m not super impressed with the packers this year either. We both might be competing for one playoff spot though. Our back half of the schedule is brutal and the packers have just as many tough games from here on out starting with the 5-1 texans. I could see both teams ending the year on either side of 500, but not by much more than a game or two. Hopefully, it’s just the pessimism that comes with 30 years of bears fanhood. We will be a championship contender soon, but I don’t think it’s going to be this year.
The lions look beatable now though, maybe they take a step back in the division now that their DLine isn’t so good. The rest of the divisions offenses should be able to pick them apart if given time.
The Vikings look tough, and I think part of that is Darnold proving the haters wrong. He’s got nothing to lose and practically everything to play for. He’s got the talent, maybe he was a late bloomer. The rest of the team is on point too.
OT: If Darnold wins a Super Bowl, do they trade jj mccarthy?
