The
Chicago bears win two in a row for the first time since 2015. When by
now they’re expected to be at best 1-5. At 4-5 everyone is talking
playoffs and the drafting of Mitchell Trubisky is seen as the best
thing that could happen to this team. When we were thinking about
that 1-5 start the question was which one. That answer was
Pittsburgh. The only team Mike Glennon beat in his short stint as
Bears starter. At three wins it was more than they won last year. At
four wins people are starting to think their jobs are safe. The
something happens that give the Bears and the city of Chicago even
more hope: Aaron Rodgers gets hurt and possibly done for the season.
No one wants see another player get injured in this time when parents
are considering whether or not it’s the best thing to do to let
their children play football. But a chance to beat Green Bay at least
once in a season regardless who is behind center is always good.
We’re
still several games away from .500 and after this weekend losing to
the Packers minus Aaron Rodgers the mood is dark in the city. Once
again every move by John Fox and Ryan Pace gets questioned and would
there be some sort of distraction like a fight and the loser stalk
the sideline pouty like. The offensive line is busted up, players
playing out of position. No wide receiving corps to speak of and the
defense at times prove they are human. This is why people are
calling for the heads of the current regime to roll. This isn’t a
team that is anywhere near playoff ready and won’t be anytime soon.
They are however have more wins than the Browns and the Forty Niners
combined.
Our
Quarterbacks will look different next year especially with Glennon
being gone. Will the Bears have to relive it all over again with
Trubisky having to look over his shoulder. But this time against a
talent that was drafted at his proper position in the draft not by
giving up the house on a chance he’ll be the Quarterback of the
future this time. No one wants a statue as their signal caller. Let
me even more Monday morning quarterback it, I actually saw someone
with a Glennon jersey in Chicago. Whoever sold that jersey is still
laughing about that sale.
