True..but here's they lineup of teams next season:
Home
- Detroit Lions
- Green Bay Packers
- Minnesota Vikings
- Dallas Cowboys
- New York Giants
- Denver Broncos
- Kansas City Chiefs
- New Orleans Saints
Away
- Detroit Lions
- Green Bay Packers
- Minnesota Vikings
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Washington Redskins
- Oakland Raiders
- San Diego Chargers
- Seattle Seahawks
This is a tougher lineup they the had this year (SEA/BUF/SF/JETS/GIANTS/MIA/MIA/NE/ST.L/TB). I can see 5 or 6 losses just outside of the division, that I've put in bold.
Whatever, I think the Bears got very lucky in some games this year in the regular season, and against SEA to a lesser extent 3 weeks ago.
A couple reg season losses more losses, and them then having to play an extra playoff game and/or travel, and I don't thiey would've been playing today.
I don't see that same Cinderella run next year, and I don't think Chicago fans will give Grossman that long of a leash if his hot and cold routine continues early next year either.
