The last decade wasn’t kind to the Chicago Bears. Following a disappointing 2019 season that once started with Super Bowl aspirations, the Bears entered an early hibernation at 8-8.
There are plenty of things that the Bears need to address this offseason to better their football team for the upcoming season — a majority of those coming on offense. But if Chicago is going to right the ship this season, they’re going to need to do several things.
Here are five New Year’s resolutions for the Bears in 2020:
1. Fix the offense
No doubt the biggest offseason priority for the Bears will be fixing their abysmal offense that, ultimately, was the reason why Chicago failed to make the postseason. The defense did their part. But the offense couldn’t do “just enough” to help them out.
There were many issues that plagued the offense — quarterback, lack of a running game, offensive line, tight ends and even play calling — and all of those will be areas of need that general manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy need to correct. For the Bears to go anywhere in 2020, they need to fix their offense.
