Yikes, we can beat Indy, Titans, and most likely Houston. But Jax is going to be a tough one.

I like our chances. We should be the underdog coming into the season for the division which I think helps.

...and we've still got a lot talent, we just need to fill a few holes and stay healthy. Cliff Levingston is expecting us to rebound nicely from this last season to the tune of 10-6 or 11-5.

A healthy team, IMO, is enough by itself to get us back to 9-10 wins and a borderline playoff team at least. A good offseason will make us even better.

How often does that happen?

Good news is a complete dodging of the NFC East save Philly. Bad news is the playing of the AFC South, 4 teams which could legitimately beat this Bears squad as they stand now.

I dont see us having a problem with Houston or Tennessee, very beatable team if the Bears play to expectations
