All four of these games should be winnable if the Bears offense is decent. But I'll believe the O is fixed when I see it with my own eyes. In light of that I will go with 2-2. Surely we can beat the Lions and Giants. If we can't handle the Lions in this opener, then that doesn't bode well for this team I think.

It should be a 4-0 start as none of those opponents are likely playoff teams. I'd be content with 3-1 and think that's realistic.
Anything less than 3-1 is a disappointment. I think Mitch needs to start 3-1 or better to keep his job.
Gotta disagree here, mpb. Indy is currently the third best team in the AFC imo and could've done more last year if they had a legit QB. This year I believe they'll make it to the divisional rounds at least.
Decent coaching staff, good defense, Rivers, one of the best starting OL in the league, great receiving corps and great RBs.

I've read that the Colts could be legit this year. But who knows. But I keep coming back to the thought that if the Bears have even a mid-tier offense to go with this defense then the Bears are a playoff caliber team. If on the other hand they trot out a clown show on offense like last year then it's another 8-8 season for us (maybe even worse). I'm not saying the offense will be bad this year. I am just saying we need improvement there this year. But yeah, I have read that the Colts could be a very good team this season.

Colts are good IF Rivers' play last year was more a reflection of the team around him than a decline in play.
If he shows his age and wear-n-tear, then the Colts will be disappointed.
I'm leaning toward Rivers continuing to regress.
I'm leaning toward some if not most the old guard QBs regressing--Brady, Brees, Rivers, Rogers, Ben-- remember when Manning fell off a cliff, it wasn't pretty.
