It is a question that routinely arises around a team like the Bears after a game like their 24-23 collapse Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers, in which the Bears built and then squandered a 20-point lead in less than two quarters: Are the 2018 Bears a good, young team that had a bad half, or a so-so, flawed team that had one good half?
Or both? Or neither? Or does it really matter, since the real answer will play out in weekly installments beginning next Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks?
