Bears off-season thread 2022

[WrigleyField 22]

 

Yeah, that's kinda where I am. If Fields stays healthy and is actually going to pan out as a franchise QB, the Bears are likely to outperform expectations. I have pointed out way back when in this thread that there have been a few occasions in the last 5 years where a team with similar talent deficiencies have been pretty good unexpectedly. 2019 Ravens and Bills, 2016 Titans. All with 2nd year QBs, a couple with new(er) defensive coaches. Granted Mariota still somehow didn't pan out and Jackson had a historic season on the ground and with passing efficiency, but those teams all won at least 9 games with ugly offensive personnel on paper. I hold out hope for the 2022 Bears to be similar, but I'm certainly not counting on it.

 

You could add Cincinnati 2021 to that list as well. A bit more quality at the skill players, but an terrible Oline and D

 

A bit more quality at the skill positions is understating it considerably

I'm a bit less muscular than Dwayne Johnson.

In other news that Bears insider is making cryptic tweets. I'm assuming its either a formal announcement on Arlington Heights or Virginia is dying (he previously implied that her health has taken a turn for the worse over the last week)

An Iowa receiver, can’t be good.

Dropping this here. Flip the Bears and Vikings and I think you’re there.

I havent been following the Lions offseason, are they really on that much of an upswing?

IMO, that’s a little bit of a reach, but 2nd place seems right.

they were 3-13-1 last year. To leapfrog both the Bears and Vikings would suggest a big/promising offseason to get to #2 which in all likelihood would have to mean 8,9 or 10 wins even in this division.

With Jared Goff at QB.

 

I could totally see the NFC taking its turn as the horsefeathers division though where it's just a bunch of bad teams between 6-9 wins, and so the order could be whatever. I mean GB probably still separate from the pack just based on Rodgers, but a small change or injury there and it's ugly.

I guess thats the point (Goff). I went on da interwebs and discovered PFF gave them offesason and draft grades of A and A+, so maybe they have improved greatly...but theres still Goff

 

I could see them winning 6, 7...

I’m thinking 7-8 wins for the Lions, with the Bears and Vikings worse. I do not think the Packers will be a top seed.

 

Is someone doing a prediction thread?
