I swear, the NFL makes everything a production, and you know what? We eat that shit right up. Yes, on Wednesday, the NFL released the 2024 NFL regular season schedule… start the planning now!
This year hits a little different for us Bears fans. We’ve taken another swing at a franchise QB with Caleb Williams. You know, this time, we did everything else to put the QB in position to be successful; we could always use some more offensive lineman, but other than that. Yes, we have some weapons too, and don’t forget about our defense which was one of the best down the stretch last season, which is the main reason Eberflus is still here, like him or not. Yeah, hopes are a bit higher this year… higher than normal. I always think the Bears will do OK, but this year??? Not going to go game by game yet, but I certainly can see a winning season in our future, and if we have an above 500 record, in this time of extra playoff spots, we’re talking playoffs. Yeah, we’re talking playoffs.
They did the strength of schedule too based on last year’s records; my buddy sent it to me. He’s a Raider fan. He’s like WTF? The Raiders have the 9th hardest schedule, while the Super Bowl champs Kansas City Chiefs have the 19th? Yeah, he was pissed. However, when I looked at the list… the Bears have the 3rd easiest schedule. Talk to me man. Stars aligning? Of course you truly can’t base this year’s strength of schedule on last year’s records. Yes, there are those teams that seem to make the playoffs every year, but there’s always some new teams in the mix; this year will be no different. Hopefully the Bears will be one of those new teams in the mix.
Now that the schedule is out, I can start to look at what games I can potentially take my son too. The home games are easy, but the road games… that would be cool. Honestly, haven’t even looked that closely yet; I will. Last year’s game was a ton of fun until the Bears blew a 20 point lead and lost to the Broncos… brutal crash landing from our pedestal in that one; he has to learn these lessons… this makes a die-hard stronger… haha. Unless of course you just say screw it, and become a front runner… not on my watch.
The other crazy thing now that the schedule has been released; you’re able to bet on most NFL games now… yes, right now! And no, not just Week 1; it’s always been like that. I’m talking about a Week 7 game; yeah, how nuts is that?!?! Is it time just to forget about all the other sports and start researching NFL season right now?!?! Yeah, I’ll take the Bears +3 at Green Bay on January 5, 2025… seriously, you can bet that game RIGHT NOW!!! Mind boggling to me…
OK, I can’t lie; this is a little exciting… all of it. I don’t watch ESPN, but I know the NFL is always lurking; there’s always something to talk about, and now with the schedule… let the debate begin, about everything. The NFL will be back soon, and it will be glorious…. maybe even for MY team this year. Let’s go! Bear Down!!!
