At 2-1, and going into a game at home against NYJ, the Bears should be 3-1 going to GB next Saturday. If they can squeeze out a win there and go to 4-1, it feels like they can go on crazy run. This is the remaining schedule through the bye:

WK 6 - @ ATL 1-2
WK 7 - vs NE 1-2
WK 8 - @ SEA 2-1
WK 9 - vs TB 0-3
WK 10 - vs NO 1-2
WK 11 - BYE

The SEA game feels like the only one that is a truly tough matchup, but they just lost to WAS with Mariota and barely beat the terrible Patriots. So I even feel optimistic about that game.

So 8-1 is actually realistic at the bye. They may not get there, but it is not completely crazy to think they can.

It’s a good stretch for us but Seattle should look different with Darnold and as a road game that is always tough. After the loss to Minn the GB game feels like a must-win for us or we fall too far behind in the division. Granted I think we’ll be playing better in the 2nd half of the season but they’ll also have Parsons back then too. Detroit is a better team than Green Bay.
