No more than 2 in a row at home or on the road. Pretty even mix with no lopsided home or away games at the start or end of season. The Bye is in a much better position, but a Sunday game followed by a Thursday game sucks.

 

Also, the Bye with an extra day for Monday Night sort of wastes the extra time off, but if we can beat the Packers, then it will be worth it.

Green Bay with Week 4 Bye is nice, they can now feel the pain of an early Bye.

 

Last 3 games, Vikings have the easiest schedule, followed by us. Lions and Packers have a tough final three:

Bears - Browns, Eagles, Packers

Lions - Ravens, Giants, Vikings

Packers - Cowboys, Steelers, Bears

Vikings - Eagles, Bengals, Lions

 

Based on SoS, we have the easiest schedule in the Division: (.502), MIN (.516), GB (.533), DET (.539), and Detroit is tied for the 2nd toughest in the NFL.

its not an easy one thats for sure

I actually think it is. We escape with easier away games. Outside of divisional games, we play at PIT (8-8), at WAS (10-6), at STL (7-8-1), at CLE (5-11), and at PHI (4-12). PIT and WAS are the only 2 tough away games, PIT is not what they used to be, and we get WAS after a THU game, so we get a few extra days of prep.

 

We have some tough home games, CIN (10-6), NO (7-9), NYG (9-7), BAL (10-6), DAL (8-8), but I would rather play tough games at home, than away.

I see 10-6. The Steelers are always a tough game, especially in Pittsburgh. The Saints are nasty, and will just outscore the Bears. Same for the Giants, but add in a probable beating for Cutler. Monday nighter against the Packers? Yeah, that one is easy to predict. Ravens lost a lot, but they're still very good. And I just don't see the Bears ripping off 6 straight wins to finish the season, so the game at Philly seems like the most likely hiccup.

I think we win the Saints game, they have never won here, and lose one of the Viking or Rams game on road. Otherwise right with you on your overview.

I agree except for 3 games, I think we beat the Saints at home, they were 3-5 on the road and we have some insider info on them from Kromer and Bushrod. We will beat Philly, they are terrible, and I can't see us beating the Packers unless they are resting players for the playoffs.

 

I actually think we will have a better chance Week 9 vs GB than Week 17. We will be coming off a Bye and it will be a Monday Night game, so we have more than enough time to get healthy and to prepare.

 

Week 1: Bengals - WIN (1-0)

Week 2: Vikings - WIN (2-0)

Week 3: at Steelers - LOSS (2-1)*

Week 4: at Lions - WIN (3-1)

Week 5: Saints - WIN (4-1)*

Week 6: Giants - LOSS (4-2)*

Week 7: at Redskins - WIN (5-2)*

Week 8: BYE

Week 9: at Packers - LOSS (5-3)*

Week 10: Lions - WIN (6-3)

Week 11: Ravens - LOSS (6-4)*

Week 12: at Rams - WIN (7-4)

Week 13: at Vikings - WIN (8-4)*

Week 14: Cowboys - WIN (9-4)*

Week 15: at Browns - WIN (10-4)

Week 16: at Eagles - WIN (11-4)

Week 17: Packers - LOSS (11-5)*

 

I almost see 7 very likely wins with the other 9 games (*) being ones that could go either way. To me I have us going 4-5 in those games and ending up 11-5, but we could easily go 5-4 to 6-3 in those games and finish with 12 or 13 wins.

There's no reason why they shouldn't beat the Giants or even the Ravens. Going on the road 2 days after a Sunday game to play in 3 days is the toughest game in football. Last year, the home teams were 9-5 in TNF games. As for Baltimore, they lost their whole team, including their 2 defensive leaders.

Yeah, I didn't even think about the home advantage of a THU Night game.

Wow, the media is really down on the Bears for this season:

 

ESPN, both writers have us at 8-8: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...s-2013-schedule

 

For the Tribune, they range from 6-10 to 10-6: http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/acroba...60-18200536.pdf

 

To me I say these guys are complete idiots, one has us beating NYG and NO, then losing to STL and DET? Really.

Dan Mcneil is a asshole, His articles carry no weight and writes to piss people off. Would not put much weight in that jerk.
