Right now with the strength of schedule getting harder from tied at 30 to 19 combined with a
they can't be as injury riddled this year mentality... it still looks like a 5-7 win team, imo.

The Hype can increase if these things happen...
1) Jimmy G sweepstakes hype goes up
2) resigning Jeffery or the hype goes down
3) hitting big in FA hype up
4) hitting big in the Draft hype up

I could see 10 wins if all 4 happen.
I however do not see all 4 happening.
The more of those things that do happen the more wins the Bears could get.

Fuck that weak shit, we're going 25-0. Maybe 30-0 if we avoid the injury bug.

Hoyer sucks, and questioning Larry is the leading cause of death in America. ..

We also have a coach very capable of a 2-14 season. He's done it before. While hoping for a big jump I actually think we will most likely have a marginally better team and record than last year. One thing I do, and it is interesting to me, is look at the forums for other teams. There I see that most fans of the other currently stinker teams are rationalizing turn arounds for their teams.

Believe me I would love for the coming season to show me wrong big time. I'll eat crow with a smile on my face.

With the parity in the NFL these days, and assuming a lot more health in 2017, there is no reason the Bears shouldn't be at a minimum considered an 8 win team.

Turn arounds happen in the NFL, but there were bigger problems with the Bears last season than just injuries and I see nothing to base a prediction like this on. Mayer just seems to giving out the company line.

It's not impossible, teams every year make big leaps from bottom 10 to top 10.

A lot of things would have to go right, but it's possible, though unlikely.

Obviously it won't happen if they let Cutler and Jeffery walk, not with a rookie QB and and even more so with no Jeffery.
