Chicago Bears: Monday Night Football loss wraps up seasonon November 17, 2020 at 2:00 pm

Speaking of quarterbacks, Nick Foles wasn’t very good either. He wasn’t able to take advantage of the new playcalling by Bill Lazor (who wasn’t much better than Matt Nagy). Foles is not the answer and now he is injured with what might be a serious lower-body injury. There is a chance that we might see Mitchell Trubisky back under center after all.

This loss dropping them to 5-5 makes things look really bleak down the stretch. After ten weeks, they are .500 going into a much-needed bye week. When they come out they will be fresh ready to play the, you guessed it, Green Bay Packers. Right now, the Packers are the lead dog for the number one seed in the NFC which would secure a spot in the second round of the playoffs.

The reason that the Bears are in trouble is because of the Packers. We would be feeling much better about going into that game with a 6-4 record than we would have at 5-5. It feels like, with this offense, there is very little chance that they figure out a way to beat that team.

Becoming 5-6 would put them out of the race even more than they are now. With Nick Foles, David Montgomery, Tarik Cohen, and now Akiem Hicks potentially out due to injury, it makes it feel even harder to stay optimistic. This team is clearly going nowhere and is going to become one of the most painful teams in the history of the franchise.

Would it be awesome if they won out to have an 11-5 season and go to the playoffs? Sure it would. There is just a very little chance that happens after the way things have gone. Their defense is still really good but they just can’t score at all. For all intents and purposes, the Chicago Bears season is over after ten weeks.
