The Bears will have the toughest schedule than any other team. They didn’t seem to improve too much on defense either.
The “miracles” don’t happen twice. As I said right after the season ended, they’ve only made the playoffs in consecutive years once since the George H.W. Bush administration.
History is not on their side in terms of positive results. As much as I wanted to blame the defense for shitting themselves in the most crucial moments, Ben Johnson is the reason this team was stopped from going further. He’s a shitty head coach that lost the playoff game. Prove me wrong.
I am going to be generous here and say 6-11. Wins come against the Panthers, Jets, Patriots, Saints, Dolphins and Vikings.
Someone at this site once said, “I exist to be wrong.” So I’ll second that. Discuss amongst yourselves.

I’m guessing 10-7 and an early exit if they sneak into wildcard weekend.

I’m sorry CS, but they’ll be lucky if they win five games this season. At best six. Remember, because they won the division last season they get a very tough schedule. I’ve heard it’s the toughest in the league. And many of those wins were against lousy teams, and they needed last second heroics from Caleb Williams to get those wins. Also, if history is any indicator, the Bears always shit the bed after winning the division. This isn’t a real good team, and with Pole Dancer and Johnson at the helm, they never will be.

Chuckster!
Have you given time to listen to Dan Bernstein’s podcast? I’ve been listening almost daily since it started. I usually just listen to the main show and not so much the Bears and Bulls one he does separately. He is much better in this form rather than being restricted on radio. Abbatacola has been great as well.

You mean Drinky is with him? No, I actually have not, but I’m going to now! Could you provide me with a link to get to it? I could google it I suppose, but maybe you could help me out.
By the way, have you watched any wrestling lately? TKO seems hell-bent to fucking destroy the WWE. What a bunch of goddamned morons. I can’t tell how much I fucking hate them!

Damn dude. Where have you been lately? They’ve had this show on YouTube since late August. They even did a show with Terry Boers the first couple weeks. It was amazing. The show is Dan Bernstein Unfiltered. The Bears side is called Forward Progress.
And unfortunately, I see what TKO is doing. I was just at the show last night in Ft. Wayne. I’ve cut down on some traveling due to pricing and the fact that I am older and more tired these days.

I know. I think you mentioned to me once or twice but it completely through the ever widen cracks in my head.
I fucking hate TKO. As I said, they’re trying to just wreck the WWE. Quite honestly, the WWE might be in worse shape than WCW in their dying, Vince Russo shitshow final days.
I’ll be in Elkhart Lake next weekend. I know what you mean about pricing. The price for the three day race ticket is $101. I don’t remember if I mentioned this to you before, but the three nights I’ll spend in the hotel went from an already expensive $677 to $915. When I got the email last December to confirm my reservation I lost my fucking shit. And one way or another Wyndham Resorts and the Baymont Inn are going to hear just how goddamned pissed I am about this. And when I factor in gas, food and souvenirs I’m looking at a $1500 weekend. Shit is going to hit the fan, that I promise!

Holy shit the Cubs really do suck. I’ve never seen a team rattle off 2 10 game winning streaks with the best record in baseball and just be hot as hell to complete garbage in a matter of a couple weeks. Counsell just sits there slapping his chest with a Dusty Baker look on his face. Unreal.
