If it's any consolation ...
The second half of the Bears' season won't officially kick off until next week, and already their postseason ambitions are on life support with a visit to Philadelphia Sunday either providing a potential defibrillation or, for all intents and purposes, the plug pull on the franchise's centennial campaign.
It's a real drag, no doubt, particularly in light of the Super Bowl aspirations with which this season began. But Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace still have an opportunity to prove that these aren't the same old Bears, if not save their season after plummeting this week below a 5 percent likelihood of returning to the playoffs, according to Football Outsiders.
