And you wanna see why Kirwan picked the Bears to win only 10 games…..Check out his preseason prediction:

Chicago Bears — My good buddy, former Bears QB Jim Miller, thinks the Bears will win 11 games this year. I’m not sure the team has that many wins in it, but I do think Jay Cutler will benefit greatly from offensive coordinator Mike Martz.

I think the formula for the Bears making the playoffs boils down to winning against Green Bay. Even if the Bears go 2-2 and the Packers go 4-0 through their next 4 games, the Bears will win the division if they beat Green Bay in week 17.

I say, let everyone keep picking against the Bears, we all know that there hasn’t been a true ‘best team’ in the NFC all year, so every team is beatable, especially the injured Packers.

Even someone named “Cynic” would have to agree with you guys. One impression that keeps appearing is that possibly, there are no real good teams this year. Indy looked awful. Pittsburgh should have lost. NE has weaknesses. Who are the Giants?

Everytime I am willing to annoint one team, they fail. In that kind of environment, why not the Bears? The media creates it’s own “weather”, so maybe they are clutching at straws in the dark just like I do.

When GB is well oiled, they are a tough club, but winning out doesn’t seem likely.

I think our boys will make the playoffs, but I can easily see a first round exit.

To consider a super bowl… wow. With a very poor offensive line, how? And it may happen…. That’s why they play the games boys.

I’ll stay tuned.

But it MUST NOT keep Lovie, Jerry and Ted’s jobs….. even a SB win!

I also think it’s insane that those schedules are nearly identical to end the season but the Pack goes 5-0 while da Bears go 2-3. Now I’m done.

Agreed again. I find it especially frustrating the the Bears get no credit because “they haven’t beat anybody” while the Pack remains a Superbowl pick. Who have the Packers beat? Maybe the Eagles in week one, but they only had to face Vick for like a half. GB may have blowout a few opponents but the Bears absoolutely dominated Miami, Minn, and you could argue Philly as well, it just wasn’t reflected on the scoreboard. Their defenses are neck and neck as far as stats goes and the vaunted GB offense only scores 4.5 more point per game. To have GB as a Superbowl pick and the Bears on the outside is absurd. End rant.

The Packers lost their runningback! Does this guy really think the Packers can win out without a running game? I see them losing to either the Giants or the Bears, and the Pats.

But I also see a very distinct possibility that the last game of the year MATTERS! Can you imagine what would happen if the Bears HAVE to beat the Packers to make the playoff, and their win knocks the Pack OUT!

I predict… Packers will lose at least 2 more games.

Couldn’t agree more. One of my guys made a point a couple of weeks ago that the media make up their story lines before the season and don’t let them go. They picked the Pack from the start of the season so now they’ll make a ridiculous 5-0 run to end the season to help fulfill their prophesy. Surprised they didn’t try to find a way to slide Brett Favre into the playoffs while they’re at it!
