Chicago Bears: 5 Biggest questions for the 2020 season

The Chicago Bears need to find the answers to these questions in 2020.

The Chicago Bears struggled in 2019, no question about it. They limped into a record of 8-8, achieving that eighth win by beating a Minnesota Vikings team that already had their spot set in the playoffs.

General manager Ryan Pace made the moves he felt could improve the roster. Not many around the league agree, however. He’s been widely criticized for nearly all his moves. Pace got his players, however, and we’ll see how they end up happening.

Hopefully, training camps open soon and the team gets to finally practice together. Then they get into the business of getting on the same page and working to be a playoff-contending team. Some feel they should be a Super Bowl contender but I feel that just a 9-7 record and a playoff appearance should be considered a successful season. The 2018 season was special in that everything fell in their favor.

The 2019 season showed how quickly a team could falter. There were high hopes entering the season but things just didn’t work out. The fortunes they had in winning multiple close games in 2018 reversed in 2019. In 2018, they had eight games in which they won by eight points or less. In 2019, they had five games in which they lost by the same margin. Perhaps the new players brought in could help turn those numbers back in the Bears favor.

Entering the 2020 season, the Bears have more questions than people had for them in 2019. Last year many still had the great feeling of the 2018 season coloring their expectations. This year, with a disappointing 8-8 record from 2019, there are more questions, and they are louder. If those questions can be answered the Bears could have a successful 2019 season.

Here are the five biggest questions for the Chicago Bears heading into the 2020 season.
