A crushing loss to the lowly New England Patriots was a minor possibility, but the way they managed to perform even a worse offense than the previous games is just so gut wrenching, I was just grossed out watching Caleb Williams get obliterated, I didn't even watch the end of it, it was pure masochism. Shane Waldron´s head rolled after this, but Matt Eberflus is next in line or Ryan Poles can get added to it if he doesn't do something to not get thins team derailed more than it already is. Eberflus has managed to establish an good defense, proof that he is a good defensive coach, the problem is he is the HEAD COACH and his team is unbalanced way waaaaay off. Even if the offense starts clicking, Poles need to think really hard if the wins, if they start coming, cover up the mess Eberflus has done these last 2 years in hiring his coaching staff and game managing, because the roster looks fine (with more Oline help and some on the Dline) and that's more on Poles than Ebeflus, but at the end of the day its Poles job to make it all work.
There was no offense, it failed to show up, it went even more downhill with Teven Jenkins getting injured, the only players surviving this season from the starting line from week 1 has been Coleman Shelton, not ideal. There was no plan to mitigate the injured Oline, no quick passing game, no success with the screen play, abandoning the run too quickly in the game, just total disaster.
Upside players: Ryan Bates played OK, its the only positive thing I can take going forward from this game.
Downside players: Too many new faces on Oline made Williams have his worst game of his short professional career, Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore are not doing a good job as veterans and leaders. The offensive scheme is none existent because of execution's due to bad coaching.
The defense once more tried to keep it close but with no offense in this game, there was little to nothing they could do to even dream for a win. The Patriots are not a good team, the Bears just gave this one away so the Patriots didn't need to do anything spectacular on offense, just run the ball and go short on passing plays and it was enough to get the defense tired and seal the game.
Upside players: There isn't anyone that is outstanding but T.J. Edwards giving the Bears a takeaway interception to try and inject life to the defense was something.
Downside players: The front four did a good job overall but still need to show that they can generate more pressure more often.
Next up is the game that can seal the Bears season, a loss to the Packers is the worst thing that can happen right now for this team, starting to lose divisional games just makes it a sure thing that there is no shot at the post season. The same can be said if the Bears end up winning this one, it would flip the script so drastically even if it shouldn't, but it will because its against the Packers, It would give so much life to the fans if they manage to make it, but I highly doubt they do, the team is resetting at offense and at this point of the season it could be too late with the next 3 games going against all the NFC North rivals back to back to back, I just don't see a quick enough learning curve to deal with these teams, its now or never to get it started on the win column or Ill be on tankathon real soon.
