2. Larry Borom

The Chicago Bears do not need to have Larry Borom in on Thursday.

The Chicago Bears offensive line is terrible but we already knew that. However, it seemed to reach a new low in this game against Denver. It is so hard to believe that this team was ever able to get out to a 28-7 lead.

Larry Borom was one of the big problems for the Bears in this game. He isn’t a fantastic offensive lineman but he needs to be better than what he has been so far.

It isn’t all his fault but combined with some of his teammates, things need to get better. On Sunday, he was responsible for a team-leading four quarterback pressures and there was one sack of Fields that was credited to his bad play.

Borom doesn’t need to play this week. It is a short week and he is coming off a bad game. The Bears may think a replacement isn’t as good as him but he is bad so what difference does it make?

They would never make moves like this but it would certainly be nice to see people be held accountable.
