10 wins

[Major Ursa]

Looking ahead at the schedule. If we can just break even in the division and get wins against MIA, BUF, NYG, SF, and NYJ we reach 10. Without being too much of a homer, I think that is a pretty attainable goal. I'm glad the Pats and Rams are at home, but I expect very tough games.

 

[Midway Monsters]

Win 5 more games plus split the division? Isn’t that 12 wins?

 

[Ditka19861]

My math might be shaky, but that would be 11... 3 Current wins, 5 Wins in BUF, MIA, NYG, SF & NYJ and 3 Wins against DET, MIN & GB...

Even though I think we can beat Minnesota in Chicago, I'm not going to bet on it. But if we can beat GB and Detroit once each, then beat Miami, Buffalo, NYG SF and NYJ, that's 10 wins and likely a wild card spot. NFC North may give three playoff teams this year.

Sorry, OT, but i like your sig

10 wins is realistic. A lot depends on how healthy we stay after the break. Right now we haven't had any serious injuries that could alter the team trajectory. A lot of people thought San Francisco was going to be a potential playoff contender before Garappolo went down. You just don't know.

We will see. Right now this is a much better team than we have seen in quite a while. For the first time in a while I don't dread the Bears playing.

After the Vikings debacle at the start of the season im hoping they shit the bed all season long. If we can split with green Bay perfect, the lions are beatable x2 I honestly wouldnt be surprised at a 5-1 division outcome.. Beating the giants buffalo SF NYJ 12-3 lets go !

Minnesota defense in sharp decline from last year.

Vikings D has been suspect lately

 

[wklink]

We can't assume that Minnesota will continue to play badly.

Likewise Detroit is probably the best 'bad' team we will play this year. There is talent on that squad. Green Bay is Green Bay. I think we can win at least three games and maybe four.

Miami is going to be a tough game.

Your signature should read "100%", not "99%".... lol

Maybe it's just me but I felt the Bears weren't as good as other teams. And truthfully, in the past they weren't. But yesterday's game made me step back and take a closer look. And you know what? The Bears are a good team with solid depth and certainly capable of winning 10 games. The Bears are fun to watch again. But injuries at key positions (as Wklink pointed out) can derail a season. And a lot depends if we get the week 3 or week 4 Trubisky going forward.

Math is hard!

 

[modo]

from what I see, 10 to 11 is doable

I wonder how much Griffin's absence is affecting them. I know he's not Mack, but if you take out our best pass rusher, we are 1-3 right now.

 

[TheeUndyingFan]

The Bears are the best team in the division right now and trending upwards. Why is everyone fixated on a wild card berth?
