That same article referred to “playoff contenders Chicago and Philadelphia” — if Chicago is a playoff contender, who *isn’t*? Funny that the writer didn’t mention the Lions, who have a couple of games on the Bears. Okay, it sez here, they came back to beat the Broncos, 37-34, 39-yard field goal in overtime.
Bears’ remaining schedule: Giants, Redskins, Vikings, Packers, Saints.
Bears are 5-6 — beat Chiefs, Packers, Eagles, Raiders, and Broncos, lost to Chargers, Cowboys, Lions, Vikings, Lions, and Seahawks.
They’ve got a shot at 10-6, all they have to do is beat the Giants, Redskins, Vikings, Packers, and Saints. Okay, they’ve beaten the Packers once this season, but they’ve been beaten by the Vikings once. They’ll probably wind up 8-8 (Redskins, Vikings, Saints), even 9-7 (adding the Giants).
Okay, I see what the guy means, they’ve got an easier schedule.
And a QB problem.
