One big excuse that the Bears have given is that they have the same record as last year. Last season at this time the Bears were 3-3, and they are again now. When you look beyond the record this team is not the same at all.
Mitch Trubisky did not get hurt last year until week 11, this season is not the same. Trubisky fell to a shoulder injury in week 4, and missed weeks 5 and 6. If the Bears are going to make the playoffs they need a healthy quarterback now. Oh wait, is Trubisky even the right guy for the Bears?
