]]> The other day I started to refresh my memory and look ahead to the Bears’ 2010 opponents to start my season preview when the schedule comes out later today.  Let me tell you something – their schedule this year is going to be TOUGH!  Not knowing the order of the games or when the bye week falls doesn’t change the difficulty.

Even though their strength of schedule ranks in the middle of the pack, the Bears face a challenging array of opponents.  To break it down, I rank the games from 16 (easiest) to 1 (hardest).

16. Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks are in rebuilding mode under Pete Carroll and Jay Cutler’s OC  man-crush Jeremy Bates.  Neither helps the “She-hawks” past the Bears.

15. Detroit Lions

Normally the easiest game on the Bears’ schedule is reserved for the home date with the Lions, but I really think they’re going to improve this season.  The Lions have improved along the defensive line and some high draft picks along with another year of experience for promising QB Matthew Stafford.

14. @ Buffalo Bills

Road games are never easy, but the Bills will not be good this year, plain and simple.  Lots of rumors swirling that this game could be played in Toronto, which wouldn’t even really make it a “home game” for the Bills.  Bears in Canada; gimme a break!
