The Official 2010 Chicago Bears Schedule

to finish it off. If we aren’t rolling along entering December, it’s going to be a long Christmas.

….. tough but very managable schedule .

@ CAR
vs SEA
vs WAS
BYE
@BUF

We need to win all four of those.

The bye is later on in the schedule, none of this week five business.

We should enter the bye week either 5-2 or 6-1, or possibly even 7-0. We get the Packers likely before any OL additions solidify things, which is great. Getting the Cowboys early is somewhat annoying since they usually start strong, but oh well.

Getting the Jets late is great too, since that should both give our OL time to gel, and they may be coasting at that point.

Very much a backloaded schedule, but could see us going 8-0 before a huge game at home against the Vikings.

tough finish….Only thing one can hope for is that NE and/or the Jets have things wrapped up and decide to “rest players” at the end of that….

Course @ dallas, vs pack, @ ny aint great either….

Should be interesting how fast the O can be picked up or its another long season….

is on my birthday…

Do like having a mid season bye, though. Hopefully its actually at a good time for the inevitable beating.

Looks like a tough one, but hard to know for sure this far in advance.

to worry about the back to back primetime games.

But at least it is back loaded like everyone else said.

that the week 17 games are division only. I (along with Urlacher) also love that there are only 1pm or Prime Time games. None of that 4pm West Coast crap.

is pleased with only one SNF game this year….

We alternate home-away for the last half of the season. That kind of sucks.

predicted them at 9-7. I don’t think soo

The 1st half of the year are all winnable games plus we have the element of surprise being a new offense and should be clicking goin into the bye week..Come off the bye week with an “easier” game vs the Bills and be set to finish up strong..The Patriots dont scare me anymore, the Jets are only as dangerous as Sanchez makes them and GB/Minn are rivals so it doesnt matter when we play them, itz always gonna be a tough game…I can definitely see 11-5 and if Cutler takes that step towards greatness the record could possibly be even better..

Tough schedule though, I usually just split the division figuring that’s a little more certain (except Lions of late but maybe no this year…) so right there that’s 4-2, then throw in Bills, Panthers, Eagles, Seahawks and Redskins, that’s 9 wins right there. If we can steal a sweep of the Vikes or Pack and maybe grab one from the Cowboys, Pats or Giants then that’s 11-5. Not out of the realm. I’m not booking it yet but I’m leaning that way.

Every year teams that were supposed to be good suck (see Bears post Superbowl) and teams that you figured would blow goats suddenly produce wins. Its too unpredictable to predict.

If the weather plays out accordingly, this has a chance to be a classic.

I see good things for the Bears. Other than maybe Dallas the NFC east doesn’t have great offenses. The tougher AFC opponents are home games. The only difficult part is the away division games late in the season. The Bears offense will probably be better, make less mistakes, and score more points. The biggest worries are on the defense, which should be better with Urlacher back and Peppers on the outside. Since most of these opponents do not have greatoffenses, the Bears have a chance to stay in games. My best guess is 9-7 and out of the playoffs, but they could also go 12-4 depending on the addition of DB talent, an improved o-line and better offensive coaching. Still, the big question is the defensive coaching, and I feel that, in the end, will end up getting Lovie fired at season’s end; and rightfully so because he chose those coaches.

Not a big fan of going to night games. I love getting out there and tailgating in the morning and then be home to watch the second half of the afternoon games.

dont forget that, and i think we start off well.
My summary of some games below

Lions= good way to start off
Jets= Hype
Pats= on Decline
Packers= F them
Vikings=DOUBLE f them
Redskins= I might be coming back to chicago for this one !

but tough stretch to end the ‘10 campaign. We’ll know by the bye week whether or not this team is a contender or a pretender. At a minimum, they have to be 4-3 or 5-2 entering the bye to have a realistic shot at the dance.

Assuming we beat Detroit in week 1, that game at Dallas will set the trend for the rest of the season. Dallas is a good team, but not great. Will the addition of Pepper’s make the defense better? Romo is a good QB who can move in & out of the pocket, if we can pressure him he can get rattled.

Will the new offense be any better? Will we be able to protect Jay Cutler? Going up against DeMarcus Ware & the 9th ranked defense (7th in sacks) will be a real nice early season test.

By going into Dallas and winning, the Bears will make a really loud statement that they are for real in 2010.

Living in DFW, it is obviously infested with Cowboys fans and their unending arrogance. I can’t wait til Julius Peppers levels Romo.

mmmmmmm

This Kool Aid is good… drink it in…
