Wild Bill: 8-8

This Bears season will take a step in the right direction, but the playoffs are still slightly out of reach for a young Chicago team. Expect a slower start considering all the new acquisitions, especially along the offensive line. Chemistry is something that takes time to build, but when these Bears get clicking, it will be time to watch out.

That chemistry will face a tough task Week 1 when the Bears pay a visit to JJ Watt and company. The Bears will also face early troubles with their below average secondary against the likes of Blake Bortles, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, and many others. However, much like last year, the Bears will pull together down the stretch.

Weapons on offense like Alshon Jeffery and Jeremy Langford will begin to dominate while Fangio works his magic on the Bears’ secondary. Also expect young players like Leonard Floyd, Cody Whitehair, Jonathan Bullard, and others to begin to make their names known in the second half of the season. Expect some development from the young, raw talent the Bears have on their roster like Deiondre’ Hall and Kevin White. Hold steady for the first eight weeks Bears fans, because the second half of the year will give a glimpse of what the Monsters of the Midway have in store for the coming years.
