They released all international games, and the Bears are not on the slate. I do not mind at all that they don't have to travel internationally. 

 

The Bears travel the 5th fewest miles. I would say there is not much of a difference in a few thousand miles over the course of an entire season, but with the top 3 teams having over 30K miles and 20K more than the Bears seems like a lot for them, and a good thing for the Bears.

It's crazy how we get one of the hardest schedules on an annual basis.  Gotta plow through...💪

I think teams with weak schedules who get the playoffs usually dont do very well. I kinda like a tough schedule, because if you succeed, you know what youve got?

They rotate divisions but part of the problem is we have the strongest division in the league. I welcome a strong schedule , playing weak sisters doesnt grow your team.

NFL only cares about money. Although they dont schedule Sat games until college schedule is done. Any fan will just watch a replay after they go to local HS game. 

And fast forward through the commercials.  I think it is also dumb. Games only on stream (Prime/Peacock) are dumb also.

Bye is Week 5 ugh. Feels way too early for me. Earliest bye week should be Week 7. 

I like weeks 8 or 9 to help with any nagging injuries any players may have. We have a better understanding on who is playing where and how well players are connecting. 5 is way to early.

 I agree with both of you.

Yes, they are releasing games as teasers.  Im still predicting Bears at GB opening week, Sunday night football.   

They did GB a favor here.  We can't destroy the Pack on opening night, but get a Minny who may struggle on O.  Then off to Detroit, which might be the game of the week.

Today everyone is saying 9-8 or 8-9.  We are in the same lane we were last year when we upgraded the roster and drafted a franchise QB. After the OL failed, coaching failed and Caleb didnt live up to his billing, we're in the same place again? Even with the failures we could have won 9 or 10 games.

This is not the same. Our franchise QB should  take a giant leap forward, coaching is the best that was available last year. AND we upgraded the roster, again.

Most fans have PDS, they are afraid to keep jumping on the Bears band wagon. I think 11 sounds right but if BJ, DA, and Caleb are what we think they are, easliy over 10 wins. last year we played Vikings close but lost. BJ beat the Vikings twice. The first game will not be easy but should be a win.

Im a glass half full type but the glass is almost full, hard to screw that up.

I want to be realistic, but I’m still optimistic that there’s a lot of W’s on this schedule. I see a potentially slow start, but once things start to gel, the team will sneak up on some people and ultimately prove out what we all hope we’ve seen in the off-season. 
 

I think this is a playoff team.

As much as I should be cautious on my expectations, Houston ,2 yrs ago, and Wash last year both were in our lane and came out smelling like a rose. I think we have better rosters than they did. It hasnt happened yet but out franchised QB has a higher ceiling than both of the other QBs. Remains to be seen.
