In fact, we’ve been ready since New Year’s Day, 2017, when we watched the Chicago Bears suffer through their 13th loss of last season. That made it four year sin a row without a winning season, and six since their last playoff appearance. Bears’ fans need a shot of optimism, and what better than the optimistic nature of the off season to give us hope.
That hope is slim, but there’s a sliver of it for every team coming off a losing season.
Even though this is just a preseason game, there’s still a number of story-lines for us fans to keep an eye on.
