The regular season is over and we Bears fans have one playoff game to look forward to. With the way they played the Lions on Sunday, we fans aren't exactly holding our breath for a playoff win.
They ended the season the way they started, by losing two games. But in between, they won 11 games and that was good enough to win a division where every team had a winning record.
I had them going 9 and 8 but my prediction of how they would do for each game came out to 11 and 6.
Of the 17 games they played, I was able to watch 12 of them. It would have been 10 but I was in Chicago for the game against Pittsburg and I also have the streaming service the SNF game against the 49ers was on.
The Bears were mostly fun to watch this season and I said at one point, this team reminds me of the lucky 2001 team that also won the 2nd Seed (when it had a bye week same as the number 1 seed) and then went on to lose it's first game to the Eagles.
This year the Bears play Green Bay in the Wild Card round at Soldier Field. The Packers are banged up and lost 4 in a role, which makes them dangerous. IF, if the Bears can get past them again, they could face the 49ers again, the Rams, the Panthers or the Eagles.
