I look at the first month of Chicago's schedule and wonder where they find touchdowns. Face it, it's going to be tough as it is with Kyle Orton, Matt Forte and name your wide receiver. But look at the first four opponents: There's nothing worse there than a 16th-ranked defense, with Tampa Bay, Indianapolis and Philadelphia in the top 10. That's trouble. So they catch a break with the Lions, ranked 32nd. The game is in Detroit. More trouble. The Bears have lost four of their past six there, with their two victories by a combined 11 points -- including one in OT.
