At least it counts as an away game for the Bears.

Way away!

Let me guess...all the warm weather and dome teams come to Chicago in September/October.  We never get Vikes or Lions in Chicago in December.

At least this is a nice off season not wondering if Mike Tomczak/Shane Matthews/Jay Cutler is going to be better under the new OC.

I predict - 13 and 3.  3 tough and close loses. Trubisky makes his case for MVP

I don't know what their record will be but if they can stay relatively healthy, and the offense can improve to around top half of the NFL, they will be a better team.  Of course that means defense has to maintain around top 5.

We're not going to have that stud receiver so Trubisky taking another step up is the key.

Isnt A Robinson supposed to be our stud WR?  And Miller and Gabriel have the shorter super fast guys covered.  Trubisky taking a step is key, but I dont think we can blame WR talent for any problems.

Allen Robinson will be two years removed from his knee injury (players say it takes two years to get healthy) and may be better athletically.
Anthony Miller has a year more experienced but an injury concern.  Wims should see more playing time and make some plays.

The offense was awfully inconsistent between Trubisky's growing pains and the offensive game plan failures.

Helfrich was new to the NFL and Nagy is green at game planning also.   An off season to ponder last years failures and successes can only result in improvement.
If they start the season with a running back who "fits the scheme" then I expect we'll see a more effective running game.

Defensively should be pretty much the same.  Roquan Smith should make a big leap with the off season program and training camp.
Dix is a wait and see he could be a strength or a weak link.   Nagy really likes Skrine.

Injuries are the only thing that can point the arrow down.

Kicker,Kicker,Kicker. Pay through the nose, get a real good one.  Not a good one, a real good one. Watched the Bears @ the vikes and that prick missed a pat there I had forgot about. Get a good one.

Don't get me wrong - I like our group of receivers with Robinson, Gabriel, Miller and Burton, but there really isn't that one stud that a lot of teams have.  You can win with these guys but you have to have really really good play from your QB.

Stud receivers BTW:  Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, Tyreek Hill,  Davante Adams, Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen, both the Vikings receivers are 1000 yard guys,  Smith-Schuster, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham, Brandin Cooks, Ty Hilton, and others. 

Maybe Trubisky can elevate Robinson into that class.

Miller is going to be awesome....no shoulder problem this  year. What about Wims????? AND Coderralle Patterson is a speedster at WR. Isn't the guy the picked up Marvin Hall supposed to be a speedster as well?

I love speed at WR...Bears notoriously through the years have had slow receivers with few exceptions such as:  Dick Gordon, Willie Gault, James Scott, maybe Curtis Conway...and more recently Johnny Knox. 

Both Patterson and Hall have Taylor Gabriel speed with more size, especially Patterson.  Even though he doesn't possess their speed Wims could be more productive than both the guys.

It broke my heart when Knox went down for good.

Wims is 6'4"....that's what you like about him.
