January 12, 20215 yr comment_183029 Here is who we will be playing: HOME: GB, DET, MIN, ARZ, SF, BAL, CIN, NYG AWAY: GB, DET, MIN, CLE, PIT, LAR, SEA, TB Since we don't beat winning teams, we are already looking at 8-8 and that is only if we sweep MIN and DET (unlikely) and beat ARZ, SF, CIN, and NYG. If we split with MIN and DET, that is 6-10. Can we even beat ARZ, SF, CIN or NYG? 6 of the 8 road games against playoff teams. Wow. ARZ will be better next year. SF will be healthy. Burrow will be back for CIN. Saquon will be back for NYG. 5-7 wins seems to be the most likely amount for next year based off the last two years of games. Ouch. What do you think? Report
January 12, 20215 yr comment_183046 I'm not thinking so highly... Wins: DET & MIN at home, CIN, and NYG Losses: Everything else... 4-8 or 3-8 if we don't split w Minny. Report
January 12, 20215 yr comment_183049 Hard to say without knowing the future of FA, Draft, coaches, front office. If everything is equal, however, no better than 7-9. Report
January 13, 20215 yr Author comment_183054 Cincy has the 5th pick, Lions have the 7th, Giants have the 11th pick, and SF picks 12th. All those teams who are only marginally worse than the Bears on paper will have a much bigger improvement in the draft. With the Bears cap situation, you could almost project that they will be worse than in 2020 from a free agent acquisition perspective as well. That's why it looks like 5-7 wins is the max. Report
