Bears Already Predicted to be the Worst Team in the NFL This Year

It's going to be a long season for Bears fans.

Finally, my Vikings are no longer on the bottom. I might actually pay attention to football this season. For the last year I've been saying that Teddy Bridgewater, the Vikings quarterback, is the future of the franchise and he's going to take us to the Superbowl. It might not be this year, but he's the man to get the job done.

Not sure I can say the same for Jay Cutler. That poor guy just can't catch a break. USA Today projected the 2015 season by playing out all 256 games and the Bears came in dead last in the NFC North with a record of 3-13.  There's a lot of pressure on Cutler this year; he didn't play well last season and with a new coaching staff, there's a lot of questions about how well he's going to be able to work with them.

This is what USA Today had to say:

"Defense will look almost entirely different in terms of personnel and scheme. They can only hope QB Jay Cutler looks entirely different from 2014 version under new coaching staff."

The news isn't all grim, however. If the Bears play badly enough, they'll at least get the number one draft pick next season. So, there's that.

What do you think it will take for the Bears to achieve a winning record this season? Or do you think this all just B.S.?
