I have been a Bears fan since 1959. Waiting.

damn unc hoping our bears do really good for you, 35 years of unbearable football i’ve only got 16 years, 10 conscious and i’m dying over here

That's what Jets thought last year.

Hopefully, Rodgers is out again...this time due to his mouth.

Wow, this is really the true insanity off-season bears Super Bowl talk. That's all this team has, the off-season hype. The fall back to earth every year is amazing

Easy schedule it's do able we gotta get two two win streaks and were definitely 9-11 as long as we split wins in our division hopefully sweep the Vikings and we good

[@michaelsirois5684]

Bears going at least 4-2 in the division. Split Green Bay and Detroit. Sweep Minnesota. 10 wins. 9 is the floor. I’m sorry but I’m not crowning Jordan Love yet and Chicago always plays Detroit tough. They have Goffs number back to 2018. Until we see how the Vikings QB’s play, I’m not sold. If they beat the Colts or Rams early in the year, they could get to 12 wins. Call me a homer but it’s our time!

[@marcusmixedit]

I think j this is it. We finally gon get the packers and I think we pulling 10 this year

[@brokentubing]

The Lions got this division and not worried about the Bears

[@attilasuto6013]

@@brokentubing I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that we split with the lions, and everyone in Chicago knows that we gave away the first game. We should’ve swept them. The Bears won’t make the same mistake again this year.

With Fields and the O line we SHOULD HAVE HAD… 11 wins…. With current team, it’s a step back…. 8.5 wins is reasonable!

[@Mach11976]

Doesn't hurt to be excited, but shall we just be optimistic? I say 9-8 hopefully better.

Attended my first Bears game in 1954. We will know soon how good of GM Poles is along with his head coach.

[@user-bj8xw6dl2g]

Bears have put together a lot of pieces to the puzzle. Don't let the past fool you. This team is LOADED on offense and solid on defense. They will surprise many doubters!

[@manuelgarza1268]

The Bears will end up 3-3 in the division, and finish either 8-9 or 9-8. The defense will carry the team through the season, and let's hope Monteaz doesn't get hurt missing significant time. It will be pure Stone Cold 🪨🥶Survival at that point. It's going to take a while for that offense to gel together. They should be at least a game better than last season. We'll see how it goes and BEARDOWN 🤜🤛

[@yaboiturboshot3148]

Disagree with SF. We've surprisingly have owned them for the last number of years

This kind of nonsense needs to stop. Alex Shapiro crossing the line between objective reporting to Bears fan boy. Hard to take him or Haugh seriously. No one knows how this group of Bears will perform under pressure. Have to wait and see.

[@Andrewbag6]

Stop thinking the Bears were a top 5 defense last season. They had an incredibly easy schedule the 2nd half and were very bad against decent to better teams so I ain’t buying that yet

[@kjgallagher4]

Bears going 7-10. They have only given the Lions trouble because the Lions couldn't stop running QBs. They arent beating the Packers either.
