Suffice to say, the Bears emerged from their bye Monday in a better mood than when it began. (Imagine that, schedule takes in the spring aren't being validated in the fall!) The bottom line: the Bears' remaining schedule outside the division isn't as daunting, and they remain alive and well at 3-2. The Bears also need Mitch Trubisky, coming off injury, to rediscover last year's form, never mind still take the proverbial next step. But it's all still there for the taking, after many expected it to feel slightly less attainable for the Bears exactly one week ago.
