Chicago Bears fans deserve so much better than this nonsense
The Chicago Bears are a horrid football team. They played against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football and were blown out on national television (for a second straight week). They came into the game with a 4-9 record and now have a disgraceful 4-10 record. They don’t even have that top-five draft pick to make up for having such a bad year either. It is just all bad.
The organization should be ashamed of itself. They have a lot of key players out on the COVID-19 protocol list but that is no excuse. It wasn’t an excuse for their first nine losses so it won’t be now. It is nice to watch Justin Fields make good plays but there are also plenty of plays where he is left out to dry.
They have absolutely no discipline either. Rookie Tevan Jenkins made his first career NFL start in this one and was taking penalties and allowing the opposition to get in his head. He has been put in a terrible position after missing the first portion of the season recovering from an injury.
It has been noticeable all year long but Matt Nagy might be the worst coach in the NFL from a pure football point of view. He is a horrible play-caller and that is why they scored nine points in the entire game. It is honestly as pathetic as it gets for an NFL team. We know he is gone after this year but the fact that he is still there is really bad.
The Chicago Bears fans deserve a much better team to cheer on each week.
Some of these things fall at the feet of Ryan Pace as well. He built this team that has some good players at the top of the roster but the coach and depth are awful. It was another embarrassing performance for them on national television.
The fact that the Bears didn’t even score a single touchdown until the final second of the game is something that should get someone fired. They moved the ball somewhat well in the game but were unable to score on every single drive except the very last one in garbage time. You need touchdowns in the NFL and the Bears just simply couldn’t do it. It is as bad as ever.
Fans of this team deserve so much more. They won the Super Bowl in 1985 and they still are stuck reliving the glory days. They have had a couple of one-off seasons where they won the NFC North since then but hardly any playoff success to show for it. This entire era of coaches and managers needs to end.
It is time to start rewarding the fan base that should not even be slightly obligated to support them. The great thing is that they will continue to support it because it is what they do. The entire organization should be thinking about how they can finally turn it around because this is unacceptable.
