As fans, we shouldn’t take too much Chicago Bears stock after week one or two.

The Chicago Bears are going to be at a minimum, an okay team in 2020. They are going to win some games against the NFL’s bottom feeders because of the fact that their roster has great players. We all know that the defense is the major strength (potential to be the best in the league in any given year) and they don’t have a quarterback that can take their offense to the next level. With it all put together, it might be a roster that makes things interesting but they don’t come off as a real threat to win the Super Bowl.

The Bears would probably have a schedule that many consider favorable if they went into the season with some confidence in the man under center. The first two weeks, in particular, are games that this roster should defeat no matter what. The Detroit Lions are a team that the Bears have played well against in the Mitchell Trubisky era. He was named to be the starter in that game against them and a lot of people feel like they might be able to win that game.

Week two follows with a game against the (expected to be) lowly New York Football Giants. They have been bad for a few years now and the Bears should be able to take care of business against them. If they start 2-0 a lot of people might start talking about them as one of the potential top teams in the NFC and that might not be the best idea.

You can’t take stock in the first two weeks of this season because they beat two teams that are bad. If they go on to have a good year by beating some of the best teams in the division/conference, then they will get the credit they deserve but we need to temper expectations if they start off hot against those two teams.

Hot. It is okay to still be excited about the 2020 Chicago Bears season. light

They will deserve a little credit if they start 2-0 because any win in the National Football League is hard and worth praise for but you can’t use it as a proper evaluation of the team. This team has a lot of issues with it and 2020 is going to be a very telling year for where they go beyond this season. Hopefully, they are able to prove us all wrong and make a playoff push.
