Cheer up, Bears fans…you could be the White Sox.

A pretty damning Wednesday at Halas Hall as outlined by Bears beat (Battlestar Galactica) writer Dan Wiederer’s Twitter timeline this afternoon. If you’re too lazy to click that link, here are a few highlights:

1. Starting left tackle Braxton Jones is heading to IR with a potentially season-ending neck injury.
2. No one knows who the fuck the actual defensive coordinator is now or moving forward.
3. When asked about the reason behind his thus far “robotic” play, Justin Fields said “coaching.”

Well at least they have a nice easy matchup coming up Sunday…

Against the Chiefs…

In Kansas City.

But it can’t really be that bad in Chicago, right?

Who cares if, as an organization, you’ve only made the playoffs six times in the last 28 years. It shouldn’t matter that the highest your offense has ranked since 2019 is 22nd. In that same period, a franchise with heavy hitters like Brian Urlacher, Dick Butkus, and Mike Singletary…the highest defensive ranking has been 15th.

Some more bright spots? The best quarterback in the Bears’ 103 year history is Jay Cutler! Of the top five leading receivers of all-time, one of them came after the year 1987! Your all-time leading scorer is a kicker who hasn’t worn your uniform in eight years!

So chin up, Bear Down, and go shock the world Sunday…no way facing Patrick Mahomes at home will be a disaster.
