There's a lot of pessimism among Chicago Bears fans these days. After six straight years of missing the playoffs, the Bears entered free agency with tons of salary-cap space, but none of their signings -- except for quarterback Mike Glennon -- created much of a buzz. Chicago then proceeded to draft Mitchell Trubisky (unlikely to play in 2017) second overall and used three of their next four picks on players from below the FBS level.
Throw in a difficult schedule where the Bears face Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and Green Bay to open the season, and most believe another year of doom and gloom is on the horizon.
