"The Chicago Bears are celebrating their 100th anniversary as a team this season, but it might not end up being much of a celebration, and that's because the Bears have the most difficult schedule in the NFL this year, at least according to our NFL schedule ratings".

Meh. a lot can happen between now and Week 1 and even Week 8.

I think it's going to be one of those seasons where the NFC games outside the division are everything. I can see the Bears in a tight playoff race with several teams around the 9, 10 win mark, and tiebreakers will come into play.

I'm fine with losing to the Chiefs and Chargers if they can win 3/4 vs the Cowboys, Eagles, Saints and Rams.

Weren’t the bears supposed to have a tough schedule last season too?

 

[DaaBears]

It is an extremely hard schedule. Yes things can change, but the Rams, Cowboys, Saints. Eagles, Chiefs, Chargers, Packers x2, Vikings x2 will not all turn to shit, if any of them.

16-0

It’s not inconceivable to think the packers could fall apart if Lafluer is a flop. Chiefs could struggle without Hill and a bad defense. Vikings have Kirk Cousins which limits them. Carson Wentz has an injury history. I’m not saying any of this will happen but theoretically all of it could happen too. We simply don’t know.

Gonna look even better after going 16-0 then

Every year this shit comes out. Strength of Schedule means nothing because it's based on last year. The NFL changes too much year to year (excluding the Patriots, that is).

 

[Chicago Staleys]

Go 5-1 in the division and the rest will take care of itself.

Very true but why I expect a worse record than last year.

You mean an easy schedule. 8th easiest in the league and I think they finished with the 2nd at the end of the season.

I think they could lose a few more games and still go deeper into the playoffs, and make a good push to win the SB. Fuck the record. In and win.

It's funny how New England has the 2nd easiest sos after winning the superbowl because their division is a garbage dump.

 

[Leomaz]

As a Bears fan or a fan of any team. I’m never ”fine” with them losing. I get that it’s “extremely” hard to go 16-0 in the regular season......unless you are the Patriots.

 

[Mdbearz]

When you win then you have to play the tougher teams the next year....I hope we have another hard schedule again next year ?

16-0

What brings you into the Bears board?

It’s not inconceivable to think the packers could fall apart if Lafluer is a flop. Chiefs could struggle without Hill and a bad defense. Vikings have Kirk Cousins which limits them. Carson Wentz has an injury history. I’m not saying any of this will happen but theoretically all of it could happen too. We simply don’t know.

Bears also have Mitch Trubisky which limits them. Also Chiefs have a QB who can overcome all of that. Too bad the Bears didn’t have a chance to draft a guy like that.

You’re completely missing the point. Anything can happen this is the NFL. Mitch could improve and be an above average QB, like I think he will, or he could stay at where he is and be a massive bust that would set the franchise back years, like you think. There are QBs that take big steps forward every year and QBs that don’t. That’s the beauty of football.
