Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Bears defense be better or worse than last year?
The Bears defense will be better than last year despite losing Khalil Mack. They used their first two draft picks to improve what was a very poor secondary in 2021, and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is already showing his impact at camp with players buying in and playing fast.
What is the Bears' biggest concern on offense - the offensive line or wide receivers?
The offensive line is more concerning than the wide receivers, especially with the Teven Jenkins drama and Lucas Patrick going down. There's been a trend in camp where Justin Fields is constantly under pressure as the coaching staff tries to find the best five linemen.
How many wins will the Bears have in 2022?
The Bears' floor is 6 wins and ceiling is 10 wins this season. The new coaching staff alone should get the team to 6 wins, and depending on how well the offense and quarterback play, they could sneak out some surprising wins with a less brutal schedule than last year.
Will the Bears trade Teven Jenkins?
A Teven Jenkins trade likely won't happen anytime soon because he's too talented and the team wouldn't get much back for such an unproven, injury-prone player. The best case scenario is that both sides figure it out and Jenkins shows he can stay healthy while playing up to his draft selection.
Will the Bears offense score over 20 points per game this season?
The Bears offense should score over 20 points per game this season. The team should be able to run the ball well, and with Luke Getsy's offense plus Justin Fields taking the next step in his development, reaching that mark is doable.
