It was Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs who used to say “you’re only two weeks away from humility.”
The Chicago Bears introduced the concept that you’re also only three weeks away from full-blown turmoil.
The Bears sped past the humility stage, pressed the accelerator and reached crisis in no time flat on their way to who knows where. As they prepare to play host to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field, it’s obvious the only way to hit a net in their free fall is to get a victory.
