The 2019 season is one that a lot of Chicago Bears fans would like to forget. Heading into their 100th season, there was a lot of hype surrounding the Bears after an impressive 12-4 campaign. It appeared that all of the pieces were in place, and the onus was on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to take the next step in his development.
Only, we all know how all of that worked out.
The Bears stumbled to an 8-8 record, including a third-place finish in the NFC North, and their offense was one of the worst in the NFL. While Chicago’s defense remained a top-10 unit, they struggled with injuries to three key starters and regressed following a magical 2018 performance.
It’s fair to say that no one wants to relive Chicago’s miserable 2019 season. But NFL Films did a good job of making things seem better than they actually were for the Bears last season.
The Bears are looking to rebound in 2020, and they made several offseason moves that they hope get them there. They added veteran pass rusher Robert Quinn to pair with Khalil mack off the edge, brought in tight ends Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet and traded for veteran quarterback Nick Foles, who will compete with Trubisky for the starting job.
The hope is that the 2019 season was a fluke and that the Bears can get back to their winning ways. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
