Chicago Bears Official Schedule
The Bears will have the third most difficult schedule in 2021, said Bearswire. There’s not much reason to believe that things will change with the Chicago Bears in 2021. After all, no changes were made at the top, where general manager Ryan Pace, head coach Matt Nagy, and President and CEO Ted Phillips will all return next season. While the Bears eked their way into the postseason, the 2020 season was far from a success. It was marred by a blown 5-1 start and a six-game losing streak that made it evident that some kind of change was needed. Change that didn’t come. Now, Pace and Nagy get another year to turn things around.
Sure, it’s difficult to judge how a team will perform from year to year. But the Bears will face some of the league’s best young talent — including quarterbacks named Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Ben Roethlisberger, and Joe Burrow. The Bears will face seven playoff teams from the previous year in 2021, and it doesn’t help that they only beat one team with a winning record in 2020.

Chicago Bears Future Opponents
Following an early playoff exit, the Chicago Bears have a long offseason ahead of them with many questions left to be answered. But we do know the opponents they’ll face in 2021. The Bears will face the AFC North and NFC West next season, which includes home games against the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, and San Francisco 49ers, as well as away games against the Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and Los Angeles Rams. With the Bears finishing second in the NFC North, they’ll also face the same-place finisher in the NFC East (New York Giants) and NFC South (Tampa Bay Buccaneers).
Some of the marquee matchups include games against seven playoff teams from this season, some talented young quarterbacks in Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, and Joe Burrow, and some repeat match-ups from the 2020 season against the Buccaneers, Rams, and Giants, said USA Today.

Who is a realistic possibility at quarterback?
The offseason has begun for the Chicago Bears, and readers filled Brad Biggs’ mailbag with questions about who the team’s quarterback will be in 2021, what the defense will look like and whether Allen Robinson will be back with the Bears.
The process of evaluating who will be available and who is realistic is just beginning. The Bears have to consider every possible option you can dream up. Start big and work their way down a long list of potential options. That means keeping Deshaun Watson in their sights in the event the Houston Texans have no choice and have to explore trade options. That means doing homework on veterans who could become available such as Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan, Jimmy Garoppolo, Philip Rivers and others. That means exploring the list of players who will be unrestricted free agents. It means doing a deep dive on every quarterback who could be selected in the first couple rounds of the draft.
The Bears have to make a move here and they need to catch lightning in a bottle somehow. They need to pull off what the Minnesota Vikings did in 2017, when they added Case Keenum for depth and saw him go 11-3 as the starter with a strong cast of players around him and an excellent defense. Unfortunately, the Bears opted for Mike Glennon that season, paid him a ton more than Keenum received from the Vikings and got next to nothing in return on their investment. It’s just way too early in the process to single out a player and say, “There’s the quarterback the Bears need to turn things around in 2021.” We don’t know who will be in the pool of options when the new league year begins March 17.
