Chicago Bears News: National Insider blasts fanbase

After winning only three games during the 2022-2023 NFL season, the only place for the Chicago Bears to go is up as it would seem unlikely that the team will be any worse than they were last season.

The Bears were active this offseason as the additions of linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards will provide a significant improvement to a defensive unit that was stripped down last season and wide receiver D.J. Moore should provide starting quarterback Justin Fields with a No. 1 wide receiver for the first time in his career.

Still, there are holes on the Bears’ roster that need to be addressed.

The Bears do not have a proven pass rush and they failed to address that need this off-season. Of course, with training camp at the end of the month, the Bears still have time to address the need with the addition of a veteran pass rusher on the market.

Then, there is the Fields question. Yes, Fields showed flashes last season of being the franchise quarterback that the Bears need him to be but he is still a below-average passing quarterback in the NFL. That doesn’t mean that Fields will be a subpar passing quarterback for the duration of his career but there will need to be visible improvement before the Bears should be considered a legitimate threat in the NFC North division.

Given these two needs, national NFL Insider Michael Lombardi once again showed his “out of town stupid” side when talking about the Bears on The Pat McAfee Show. 

A national insider continued his agenda against the Chicago Bears on Friday.

Anyone who has followed Lombardi knows that he is not a fan of the Bears and hasn’t been shy about his disdain for the organization in national and local hits.

The most hilarious thing about Lombardi’s segment with McAfee is that he thinks expectations are too high for the team. The average Bears fan is expecting the Bears to be a 7-win team this season with the ceiling being 9 wins.

From a win-loss perspective, expectations are not high. But, there is certainly an expectation that the Bears will be better than the product that was on the field last season.
