When you have a first-place schedule, that means you've got to go places like Seattle to play.

You also have to face the AFC East, so Patriots and Bills are on the schedule.

Let's be realistic about what we expect to happen, not only within the division, where the Bears had a losing record this year,

That's not my imagination, right?

Wait a minute.

Detroit did sweep the Bears, correct?

Yeah, but they were as who was, I think it was Cole that mentioned it, that they were 2-4 in the division.

Like, so let's talk about what's going on right now and see how they improve, but let's not assume the Bears are going back to the playoffs next year.

I've also said before, and here we are talking about it,

There's an opportunity cost to coaches like Dan Campbell who go for it.
