Will the Bears make the playoff next year?

[pack4to84]

No SuperBowl loser has made it back to the SuperBowl since Bill's did it '93 to '94. Only 3 teams has been able to get there team back to the playoffs after losing the Superbowl since '98. Mike Holmgren did it with the Packers after there lose to Denver and with Seattle this year and Tennessee did it 2000. Bears this year only played 3 teams in the regular season that where playoff teams. Next season they play 7 playoff teams. Eagles, Giants, Chargers, Chiefs, Seahawks, Saints, and Cowboys.

If the Bears played in a tougher division I might vote no. So as it stands "yes."

[MadtownPacker]

Not with grossman at QB they wont. Teams know him now.

[MTPackerfan]

their defense is good enough to cary them to the playoffs, mainly because they are in the North which is admittly weak.

I think it depends on if the packers show up next year.

If the packers come through then no, the bears do not make it.

[AtlPackFan]

If Brown, Harris and Vasher all come back healthy then I would say yes...and I think that is even with Wrecks behind center.

I would be very surprised...EXTREMELY HAPPY...but surprised if Rex is back behind center for the Chicago FIBears next year.

I voted yes, only b/c the NFC is pathetic...

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that even the Lions could have a chance in the NFC... unbelievably bad conference.

here is another thing to think about. Before last year season started a lot of people I talked too thought the Giants would win 11 to 12 games this season. I kept telling them they played a hard schedule. They wouldn't listen to me.
That playing a hard schedule teams get beat up by the end of the season. Giants lost a lot of starters through out the season. I think the Bears would have a lot of injuries this next season due to the harder schedule. This year they lost 2 players and there defense wasn't the same even with a easy schedule....
