00:00We're curious about whether or not you have the Bears with a winning season.
00:05Do you think they're in competition for a playoff spot, but are they in the playoffs?
00:10How do you look at the Bears?
00:13I think they can get a wild card. I think they can get a wild card. I think that's realistic.
00:20For starters, 43.8% of the NFL can label itself a playoff team at the end of every year.
00:30That's not quite the accomplishment it used to be with the expansion of the
00:36playoffs back in 2021. So, 14 of your 32 teams reach the postseason. That's doable. That shouldn't
00:46be some insurmountable hurdle that is so difficult to crack. Now, it's a tough division,
00:55and I think it's possibly one of the two best divisions in the entire league.
01:03But the way that schedule sets up, I think, and we may look back come week eight and say,
01:11boy, a couple of these teams on the Bears' schedule are significantly different
01:16than we were expecting. So, the strength of schedule can shift, right? But the way it
01:23sets up right now, we talked about it yesterday, guys. There's some teams on there that they
01:28should be able to take care of business against. So, I think that a wild card is doable, and
01:37I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they could challenge for the division.
01:43Why put a ceiling on it?
