The Bears loss in the desert was a tipping point not just because of the loss but how they preformed, injuries made it look worse but the was nowhere you could turn to on this team on this game that made you feel as a fan that there's something consistently going right. Honestly Im just feed up, too many years watching an unbalance Bears team with a bad offense and a defense that is asked to much, its the same product wrapped up differently.
On offense the Oline was being gutted by injuries to both tackles, Teven Jenkins went down at one point and it was just too much. Caleb Williams tried to do too much instead of playing the short yardage game, they opted to go long and didn't have the protection for it, D.J. Moore at one point just gave up do to injury or just plain quited. The run was hot and cold, but got iced once the Oline started going down, so there were no answers to a team that was not prepared for this, as usual.
Upside players: Rome Odunze has to get more involved in this offense and Williams need to look more his way and better this connection.
Downside players: Its not all Keenan Allen's fault that he is getting targeted that frequently or the scheme is focus more on him for some reason, but that needs to change. Moore needs to sit a bit if he is too injured or continues with that attitude, justifiable or not due to bad coaching and scheme.
On defense they are sorely missing Kyler Gordon on the run game, they managed to control the game as much as possible as always, but injuries also started to happened, they failed to protect Andrew Billings who is now lost for the season most probably, which will be a big blow for this defense especially on the run game. With no points being scored, the game just slipped from them. Now with news that the players are losing hope of the leadership in the offices, what was once a good defense and the only consistent part of this team might just come crashing down, time will tell.
Upside players: Coverage is still holding up without Jaquan Brisker and Gordon, kudos to Terrel Smith, Josh Blackwell and Elijah Hicks.
Downside players: The Dline is still not generating enough pressure, it was to be expected without Montez Sweat on the game, but Gervon Dexter has somewhat disappeared, a bit disappointed his streak of good plays is on hold.
Next up is a home game against a struggling Patriots team, they should win this game, it would say a lot if they didn't even with riddling injuries, still its a possibility at this point with the Bears own struggles right now. I honestly don't really care much for the outcome of this game, I expect them to win yes, but I don't care if they with by a blow out, because next week they get the Packers and for me the season rides on how they play that team, a Packers team that is competing for a playoff sport, If the Bears end up with similar results like they ended having against the Cardinals, that's it for me, they cant continue giving me the same crappy results as a fan and expect me to believe its going to be different this time around, I guess Ill just have to wait a bit to see if I get to offseason more this early.
