My Thoughts on this team:
The Bears have some work to do, but new head coach John Fox does have a couple of positives in his first year. First is the fact that there is no pressure for him to win this year. This is truly a rebuilding year for this team. Next is the staff that he has assembled, including Adam Gase, who was John's OC at Denver for 2 years and Vic Fangio, who is a mastermind on defense. The Offense has plenty of skill players and they should get many chances to produce with Cutler throw the ball or handing it off to them. I do expect him to cut down on his mistakes this year, which should lead to more scoring from this team. The OL must step up though to help the running game, which will take some pressure off of Cutler. The defense was the second worst in the league last as far as points allowed and 3rd as far as yards allowed, but they did make some nice offseason moves to upgrade the defense and having Vic Fangio running it will help. They are changing schemes and have a depth problem on the defense, but still this should be a vastly improved unit by season's end. The Win total for this team is 7 and I see them hitting that number exact.
