Do you realize that 8 wins and maybe 9 is the definition of being in playoff contention; if not actually making the playoffs? Especially in next seasons version of the NFC.
Exactly. I wouldn't put our odds high. But you can't say they are zero, especially when we only know what, at most, half of the team will look like. We have no idea how good (or bad) the coaching/playcalling is.

Once you get to the playoffs anything can happen, ask the Giants.

We have to be honest in what we have in Fields, and that may be a 10 year starter and it also may be a guy that doesn't get his 5 year contract option. Just being truthful.

If the Bears get a chance to trade some veteran defense talent for draft picks, they should go that route.

Give Poles some picks to show if he is a real GM or not.

Rebuilding seems the most realistic approach to the Bears now that Rodgers is back in GB.

This team is at least 2 years away for competing for the division and a playoff spot.

If I'm Poles I'm trading players and acquiring as many pics and young players as possible.

Given the situation can't see a contender team put together by the upcoming season.

The only thing I'd say is what we do shouldn't have anything to do with Rodgers, it's not like he "owns us".

NFL is the win now league.

Rodgers like Peyton Manning may fall off the cliff without any warning.

Pack and Rodgers are done. They finish .500 next year #calledit

If we're in rebuild... we're probably trading away the vets like make and others. Won't be fair to Mack if we rebuild

good luck attracting free agents less you just bribe them to come if they know the organization is just tanking.

Can’t see Poles signing anyone 30 or older. Guys like Jensen just don’t fit the timeline. Brian Allen makes more sense.
