Say goooooooood bye Johnny! I see one and maybe two wins by mid season and maybe two more in the second half. It's a brutal first six games and Fox hasn't finished well either. If anything less that 8-8 is unacceptable (and even that should be) then Foxy should be praying for divine intervention about now or getting his retirement plan in order. It looks to me like even GSH has turned his back on him and wants him gone. Who says we won't have a great shot at a top QB next year. A 3-13 o 4-12 finish should get us in the top five again. Are ya' paying attention Ryan Pace?
2 wins. 9rs and browns. Not sure we can beat anyone else right now. We'll have to see how the draft and preseason goes before really trying to figure wins losses.

Reasons for Optimism or why the Bears show marked improvement over 2016:
O Line improves if for one reason alone. It has got to be healthier than last season.
QB play improves. Cutty, Noodle Arm and Barkley are no longer in Bears unis.
WR corp improves. If going into camp we knew the Bears would receive little from AJ & K.White. We didn't even know if Royal would make the cut. That being said the guys that made up the 2016 WR Corp did better than anyone could have imagined.
Backfield - hope is with better line play J.Ho can duplicate or get even better and the Bears have young depth.
OC should improve. His 2nd year and a settled off season as far as Dowell "Kenny I love a Rainy Night" Loggains goes.
The D will improve further taking on the 3-4 D Fangio envisions in Year III. I just can't imagine not taking another step forward here.
Pace continues infusing the roster with talent via the draft, especially in this draft which is regarded as one of deepest drafts for NFL quality players in some time. Not only do the Bears have the 3rd overall pick. They pick up top in the other rounds as well in a draft that should have solid starters deep into the draft.
No way there are just 2 wins in that schedule (even with Fox at the helm).
Unless our team is hurt again which is possible I see us winning more than 2 games.
Browns Vikings 49ers Lions Panthers Saints
Plus 2 unforeseen wins. I honestly see 8-8 as long as everyone stays healthy and our rookies improve from last year. Maybe even more if Kevin White can be the elite WR we drafted him for. Very unlikely I know but its still possible.
