With the Chicago Bears 2020 season here, what are some intriguing predictions?
The Chicago Bears are full of potential in 2020. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Combine an elite defense with an offense that is hopefully ready to live up to expectations, it’s clear that the only word used to describe the Bears while being optimistic is potential.
This offseason, general manager Ryan Pace made a number of moves that indicated he was in win-now mode. He signed Robert Quinn to a lucrative contract to upgrade the pass rush. He made additions to the offensive line by signing guys like Germain Ifedi while also signing Jimmy Graham and drafting Cole Kmet to ensure that the tight end position would be stabilized.
Additionally, with the quarterback situation now figured now and Mitchell Trubisky ready to be the starter for the third straight year under Matt Nagy, the Bears season just got a lot more interesting. Many assumed that Nick Foles would be the starter due to his impressive resume which includes a Super Bowl MVP.
Overall, the Bears offseason has been interesting considering the team has continued to build towards the future but then also followed a win-now approach that should keep the team competitive, especially with a Super Bowl-caliber defense.
With high expectations in 2020, the Bears are one of the hungrier teams in the NFL. Despite winning just eight games in 2019, there seems to be a renewed sense of energy around Halas Hall which shows that while many are counting the Bears out, the Bears are blocking out noise and focusing on the 2020 season. With that said, what are some intriguing predictions for the Bears 2020 season?
