Another Bears game already?
With the toxic combination of the extreme disappointment of a 10-3 loss to the Packers after an offseason of Super Bowl-level anticipation, a Thursday-night opener and the almost-suffocating onslaught of Bears talk on social media, the internet and one too many podcasts, this has been the most interminable gap between regular-season Bears games seemingly ever.
Actually, it’s the most drawn-out period of in-season Bears angst since the dreadful bye week in 2014, when the team was coming off a demoralizing 51-23 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Coach Marc Trestman promised a week of self-scouting would fix the problems, then the Bears laid an even bigger egg at Lambeau Field.
