New Year’s resolutions for each NFL team

As the ball drops and we enter a new year, let’s take a look at the resolutions for each NFL team.

Few teams were as disappointing in 2019 as the Chicago Bears. Fans expected Chicago style, and they got thin crust instead—the frozen kind, from Green Bay. Sort of a reversal of some teams already on this list, the Bears started decently, going 3-1. But they wound up 8-8. They did beat the Viking twice, and the defense finished the season in the top 4 for points allowed. This isn’t ’85, though. No Mike Dikta. No faith in the offense. And the only shuffle was at quarterback.

2020 Resolution: Pick up the ” Pace.” The offense was horrendous, swimming in stagnant waters that were only escapable if you went sideways or backward. 2020 should be all about forward, though, and that starts with GM Ryan Pace upgrading that side of the ball via the draft. Yes, the team doesn’t pick until the second round—thanks, Khalil Mack—but there are plenty of opportunities to snag a tight end, offensive line help, and yes, doing so while keeping in mind that Mitch Trubisky is your QB.
