We did it! We Made it! THE NFL SEASON IS FINALLY HERE! As excited as we all are to embark on a new season, John takes a second to reflect and ask a serious question. What makes us Bears fans? Why do we root for this team? Why do we put ourselves through this year in and year out? What are realistic expectations for the Bears this season? How will YOU judge this team? Is it playoffs or bust? Is it to win the division… or is it simply to improve on their 3-14 record from last season? What does Justin Fields have to do to prove himself this year? John gives some "Bold" takes and predictions on offense this year, and finishes off the show getting you ready for Bears Packers Week 1. What are the Keys to the game? Can the Bears finally get over the hump and beat their bitter rivals? THIS is the Bear Necessities Podcast Show Page: https://dtrabbithole.com/bear-necessi...
