In their second loss in a six-day span, the Bears improved on a limp Monday Night performance, but familiar troubles reared their ugly heads again while some new ones popped up and slapped the heads of others.
Things look bleak right now for the Bears, but everything can change with a victory this Sunday against a Saints team that should challenge but aren’t too tough to overcome.
No one looked worse on Sunday than head coach Matt Nagy and quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Nothing is scarier in football than having doubts in both your head coach and your quarterback.
Saying “its still early” no longer applies for the Bears — the team they show us this week is likely the team left for us to dissect the rest of this season.
The Bears were right in this week’s game but only somewhat, a lack of style points could be held against them but they were able to get the win, which is exactly what they needed to do.
The luck of the draw was certainly on the Bears’ side this week, this was a rebuilding week or a clean-up week with the health inspector willing to look the other way. Khalil Mack took a merciful week off, the first of his career in his sixth season.
Falling a hail Mary short of upsetting the Patriots this past Sunday could have the Bears as down as they could be, but a perfect elixir may be on its way this week in the New York Jets.
