The Chicago Bears bandwagon is getting over-crowded with the national sports media clamoring to get on board now. But it does feel good (can't deny it) that we are becoming the darlings of the NFL as far as excitement over what Chicago is building here with Warren/Poles/Eberflus at the helm.
What do you NOW believe is the realistic ceiling for this season coming up? The key word there is "realistic" ceiling. Whatcha seeing for this season in this 3rd year of the Poles/Eberflus rebuild (as the article points out: "The organization has quietly assembled a strong roster, and the final piece of the puzzle—the quarterback—is on the way."

Now, for the first time in what feels like an eternity, things are looking up. The organization has quietly assembled a strong roster, and the final piece of the puzzle—the quarterback—is on the way. It feels like the Bears are set up well for the future, but what are realistic expectations for Chicago in 2024?
If Williams performs closer to the baseline for rookies and has his ups and downs, so will the team. With a steady run game and competent defense, the Bears won’t have to live and die by Williams, making his bad games less costly.
Overall, the Bears are a young team and an unproven team, but also an intriguing one. Given the open landscape of the NFC, a playoff appearance and even a win on Wild Card weekend aren’t out of the question. That said, the Bears need to pick up from where they left off a season ago, and Williams needs to look more like Stroud than Bryce Young in his freshman NFL campaign.

It is SOoooo hard to tell where we could be. So much of it depends on Williams play and we just have no idea. I would say that with good play, we have a decent chance at a post season game or two, but then there are the Lions and Packers. Not sure we can improve past those guys this year.
