It would be really great to see the Chicago Bears jump into the 10-11 win category and almost certainly earn themselves a playoff berth but there needs to be some patience with the fans. The Bears are putting a lot of new players in place and it is going to take some time for them to gel. The Bears will probably get off to a slow start but expect them to really come on strong at the back end of the season as the team comes together and the rookies develop. The Bears will make a strong push for a playoff spot this season, but they’ll come up a little short. But the Bears will be everybody’s darling to make a huge jump in 2017 and for good reason.
