After a promising start we’re back to staring at the possibility of being at .500 following last weekend’s overtime gut-punching loss to the Dolphins.
Without that, the prospect of facing a surging New England Patriots squad, that has been among the NFL’s elite for a mind-boggling 18 years and counting, wouldn’t be as nerve-wracking. The Bears could’ve been 4-1 and a loss wouldn’t have anyone sweating.
But now, at 3-2, falling to 3-3 opens that door that the Bears already peaked, that it was too soon to believe, that they are still a young team, yadda, yadda, yadda.
