1. The Chicago Bears finished hot last season
The circumstances are different, and there are new faces, but we have seen a team coached by Matt Eberfus improve as the season goes along. Remember, from 0-4, the Bears finished 2023 with a 7-10 record.
Last year, there were many new faces and injuries along the offensive line, and things did not click right away. This year, there are many new faces and injuries along the offensive line, and things are not clicking right away. The hope is that Williams is better than Justin Fields and that as he settles in as the quarterback, stability will come, not only throughout this year but over the next 10-15 years.
Bears fans want reassurance right away that everything will be fine, and right now it does not look that way. However, they have to see the big picture, and things still look good in that regard.
