ChicagoBears To Host McNabb's Skins As They Get 14th Hardest 2010 Sched

The NFL released the match ups for the 2010 season http://www.nfl.com/schedules/interactive#/team=CHI

Chicago has 14th toughest schedule in the NFL.  2010 should be an interesting football season for the Chicago Bears with some fascinating story lines.  We face an Eagles team led by someone else beside Donovan McNabb, a Redskins team with a motivated Donovan McNabb, Julius Peppers will return to Carolina with his new Bears defense to face the team that let him go. 

Truth be told, the Chicago Bears only face 5 teams that were below the .500 mark last season in the Seahawks, Lions, Redskins, Bills, and Dolphins. ww.nfl.com/standings  That said, nearly all the games are win-able (if thats a word) and the Bears can learn a little something from each of these teams successes and shortcomings.  The Monsters of the Midway need a Wes Welker for Jay Cutler and I think Greg Olsen can be just that.  Our defense in 2010 should be scary for opposing teams this year like the Jets, Packers, and Viking in 09'.

As good as the CheeseHeads and Purple People Eaters were in 2009, I just don't believe they will be that good in 2010.  If the Bears can use their personell correctly, from coaches to star players to role players in all 3 phases, I see no reason they can't sweep their division.

So when the Bears finish atop the NFC North this season, no one can say it was because of an easy schedule.  No one can say any thing except these guys must be pretty good.  If they finish anywhere except the top, with this team they've put together and who's who of a coaching staff, it will definitely be time for Lovie to hand in his headsets.
