The first half of the schedule is rough, but the second half seems a lot easier.

 

If last year was any indication and throw in the tough early weeks of this season, half our team will be on IR by the BYE week.

[madlithuanian]

Ha!

 

However, given that last years' looked a little easier on paper when it came out. I simply am going to expect the worst! But, I think we go 4-12... It's an improvement!

[eback]

Brutal! I don't think I can justify paying for the NFL ticket this season to watch the train wreck that this schedule presents.

 

Bummer

[DABEARSDABOMB]

That is a really tough early season schedule.

[lemonej]

Listen to yourselves and realize you are making judgements prior to the draft and training camp!

[BearFan PHX]

Pressure makes diamonds.

 

And flattens frogs on the highway.

 

[bradjock]

That is a really tough early season schedule.

 

With the exception of Cleveland, every team we face is predicting the Bears game will be an easy "W.".

When they talk about Fox doing well in his second year, in this case its his third year.

If everybody is healthy at the beginning of the season, we go 2-2 out of the blocks.

Actually right now I will predict a Falcons upset.

[killakrzydav]

Simply brutal. It makes me want to from a qb during this season even more

[adam]

We were 2-4 in the Division last year on a 3 win team. Let's just say we split and go 3-3. I think we get wins against CLE and SF, that is 5 wins with these 8 games remaining:

 

Falcons (11-5)

at Bucs (9-7)

Steelers (11-5)

at Ravens (8-8)

Panthers (6-10)

at Saints (7-9)

at Eagles (7-9)

at Bengals (6-9-1)

 

I can see us beating the Panthers at home and either the Saints or Bengals on the road. That is 7 wins without too much fuss.

 

We play our only Thursday Night game at GB, which was more than likely a loss anyway. So we end up with an extended week to prep for Monday night against Minnesota. We also do not play any teams coming off a bye week.

 

For how bad we were last year, only ATL, NO, PIT, GB, and CIN gained more yards on offense than us (CIN gained 7 more). Only MIN, BAL, PIT, and PHI allowed less yards than us on defense last year.

Im thinking we do better than expected. probably 7 wins but could be 9.

To me 6 is the low end and 8-9 is the high end.

[ASHKUM BEAR]

That is a really tough early season schedule.

The Bears play the toughest strength of schedule the first half of the season, the Steelers have the easiest using last years records. Seems like we've seen a toughest schedule in nfl recently.

[madlithuanian]

In the end nothing would surprise me. However, I feel like they need to prove it. So, my expectations are low.

Don't be so sure. GB has owned Chicago as of late, but the last 3-4 wins by Chicago have been on primetime games.

Bears 2017 Schedule

Week 1- Sept 10 Falcons (11-5) - Loss. Their offense is too strong.

Week 2- Sept 17 at Bucs (9-7) - Win. Last year was a fluke.

Week 3- Sept 24 Steelers (11-5) - Loss. They're one of the elite teams in the NFL.

Week 4- Sept 28 at Packers (10-6) (THU) - Win. The last four wins against the Packers have come on Monday or Thursday.

Week 5- Oct. 9 Vikings (8-8) (SUN NIGHT) - Win. Extra days to prepare and a seemingly perpetual split with the Queens.

Week 6- Oct. 15 at Ravens (8-8) - Win. Their record last year is deceiving. They played a horrible schedule.

Week 7- Oct. 22 Panthers (6-10) - Win. One of the worst passing D's in the NFL. Glennon and the new WRs torch them.

Week 8- Oct. 29 at Saints (7-9) - Loss. Their offense is too strong.

Week 9- Nov. 5 bye

Week 10- Nov. 12 Packers (10-6) - Loss. I can't remember the last time the Bears swept the Packers.

Week 11- Nov. 19 Lions (9-7) - Win. At Chicago, the Bears were healthy and the offense did what it wanted. At Detroit, Daniel Brown (who?) was instrumental.

Week 12- Nov. 26 at Eagles (7-9) - Win. Carson Wentz is still green, throws picks, and they won't be able to dominate TOP now that Jordan Howard is starting.

Week 13- Dec. 3 49ers (2-14) - Win. LOL. There is no doubt on this one.

Week 14- Dec. 10 at Bengals (6-9-1) - Loss.

Week 15- Dec. 16 at Lions (9-7) - Loss. Season split. Seems likely.

Week 16- Dec. 24 Browns (1-15) - Win. They're going to stink again, and likely have a rookie QB starting.

Week 17- Dec. 31 at Vikings (8-8) - Loss.

 

I'm saying 9-7. And I don't think it's unrealistic.

I put us at 4-6 wins and see very few scenarios with us pulling out more. I do see scenarios where we are at the low-end or worse.

[adam]

Don't be so sure. GB has owned Chicago as of late, but the last 3-4 wins by Chicago have been on primetime games.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Thursday Night game away which is historically bad for road teams.

[ASHKUM BEAR]

Listen to yourselves and realize you are making judgements prior to the draft and training camp!

Draft is complete. Anybody have different thoughts? We can be anywhere from 4 wins up to 9.

I don't know how much the draft changed my opinion until I see how many of these players make an impact this year.

I'm waaaaay less optimistic now. My prediction before was based on the Bears taking advantage of a super deep defensive draft. And potentially trading down. This draft was pretty bad. Other than Jackson, not a single player is likely to even start in 2017. This draft was all about upside, and the hope for a big 2018. I'm guessing 4-5 wins because the holes that existed before the draft still pretty much exist.
