Let’s face it: 2017 is not going to be the year the Chicago Bears turn things around.
The team has been treading water for the past few years. They haven’t topped a .500 winning percentage in five seasons, and they haven’t made the playoffs in seven. The Phil Emery era destroyed any and all promise the Bears had, leaving Ryan Pace picking up the scraps in his wake.
Pace still hasn’t been able to fully accomplish that.
While the roster is better than it was when he first arrived in Chicago, the Bears have yet to win more than seven games in a season during his tenure.
