Da Bears - whoops, make that DUH Bears.

[Morbius]

6. It's time to admit it.

The Bears are one of the worst teams in the NFL. The main reason, of course, is injuries: four out of five of the offensive linemen who started the season for the Bears are hurt, and the one remaining - center Coleman Shelton - was acquired to be a backup. Still, it's pretty clear the offensive philosophy, which has rookie QB Caleb Williams loaded with pre-snap responsibilities, as though he were a five year veteran, isn't helping any. It's a pretty good if thin defense, but if all you can manage is one field goal against the team currently in position for the number one pick in the upcoming draft, your offense can't be called anything but just plain bad.

The record is 4-5, but all eight remaining games on the schedule are against tough opponents. It would be an almost miraculous feat if the Bears equal their disappointing finish of 7-10 from last year.

My country is going to hell in a handbasket. It would be nice if my football team were at the least watchable.
