Like some have said, the development of Justin Fields. This is not a make or break year for him, but we need to see improvement.
A close second is taking a group photo in a weird place. We have already seen a shower group photo in the past, so maybe we see one in a bathtub this year. It’s all about team building for me.

A better defense does help, BUT you also need a competent offense to go along with that defense. That’s something we haven’t seen in those 30 years. Maybe the Bears finally brought in an OC who can actually draw up plays.

Build up the defense since they have a defensive minded HC. Posture themselves for next year to go heavy again on defense in the draft and then ride that defense (and a decent run game) to the Super Bowl! Baerz!

Honestly? Not about the wins and losses. Let's see Justin have command of the offense. Let's see the OL keep him upright. Let's see a few draft picks develop into future stars. Let's see if we got some steals. Less flags from stupid shit like illegal formation (thanks Nagy). Things like that. Let's look like a disciplined team, win or lose.

Maybe so maybe no. The Bills have a defensive minded coach yet has fielded one of the more explosive offenses for the past couple seasons.

Fields has to be better than Mitch in Pittsburgh.

I voted "other".
The reason for this is the wording you used with "what's the most important thing for the Bears this season?". To clarify, "the Bears" means the owners of the Bears, not the team nor the fans.
The most important thing for ownership has always been and will always be making a profit. So things like FIELDS jersey sales are more important than wins, asses in seats is also more important than wins, having more seats to have asses fill them is also more important, thus, Arlington Heights is high on ownership's priorities.
If I had to pick one highest priority, it would the tv deals that are coming up this and next seasons, I believe, because that is the lion's share of team owners' profits.
George may want a championship season for the Bears, but he would trade it away if he could replace it with a lot more money in his pocket.
Who could blame him?
If you had to choose between the Bears winning the Super Bowl or the health and well-being of your family, what would you choose?
Edit: It is good to see that idiots like Visionman did not like this post.
It is gratifying when the single-digit IQ crowd does not like one's posts. It means that one is doing something right.

I agree that it's not about wins but results breeds buying in and enthusiasm. Winning close to 1/2 their games will help the buy in and FA next year.

"Young signal-callers often fail not because of a lack of talent, but because they're dropped into dysfunctional situations. Here's to hoping this offseason's coaching and management changes give Fields a more stable foundation on which to build." - Jim Trotter, NFL.com
fyi.. I read that as... regardless of the talent of the QB (not the talent around them), if the environment sucks... he can't succeed.

Score over 400 points for the season- not a huge ask at 24 points a game.
The bears have done it only 5 times in history,
Tresty and Nagy both did it and it accounted for nothing... but getting back to that level with 17 games in the modern NFL should be a minimum. (15 teams in the league did it last year, vikings among them)
The bears missed the mark by 90 last year with inept coaching and a fossil getting the offseason reps while the rookie got to sit and watch Dalton being coached by Nagy... the blind leading the bad teaching the novice.
With the exception of the ravens and raiders, every team that posted less than 400 was just as plagued by ineptitude as the bears were... and carr has really never been prolific and the team was a steaming mess of distractions all year.
The Ravens were unfortunately plagued by Jackson going in and out only starting 12 games. They hit 387 with Huntley and Johnson having 5 starts and 38% of the attempts. They would have blown past 400 with jackson.
The bears have a very good run game and if Fields is even serviceable and Getsy and Eberflus are proficient, they should hit 400 easy.

#winning
it's all that really matters. Whether it's winning in the trenches, winning with recent draft picks, winning with Feilds securing the ball, reading defenses, winning by cutting crap like Kindle Vildor, etc.
Just gotta win boys.

A) Winning............Unless the Bears win with D, they will not be winning many games.
B) Developing Justin Fields and the offense......With what exactly. Little money put into the O in free agency, and we just saw what was given to Fields offense in the draft. This is more Fields elevating what is around him.
C) Filling out and developing the rest of the roster......Like it or not this is the plan the Bears are using for 2022, leaning heavily to the defensive side of the ball.

To look like we have a coherent, professional team in place. We may not have the talent and experience, but we have to have a decent foundation for any of that to equate to consistent winning.
