Breaking: Chicago Bears Hits with Another Major Setback as Fan Favorite Star Declines New Contract and Signs with Rivals…..Read more

The National Football League (NFL) is currently in the middle of its season, and the Bears have not been able to live up to the preseason hype in the first half of the season. However, it will be much more difficult for them to do so going forward.
A span of eight days has brought about a significant shift in the perspective about the Chicago Bears season.

During the bye week, they continued to bask in the glory of their victory over Jacksonville, which they had won with relative ease.
Then came the final play of the Washington Commanders game, the reaction, injuries, and then a complete physical pounding at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals, and now as the score stands at 4-4, the sky is falling.

I just know that’s where we are,” said coach Matt Eberflus. “I just know that.” The place where we are and the place where it is is the same. It is from this that we must base our work. The truth of the matter is that this is the case with us at the moment.

A growing team is what we are. As a team, we are making progress. Regarding the win-loss column, we have not shown any signs of improvement over the past few of weeks. In order to get to the point where we are in the season, we need to keep looking for answers and also keep getting better. As we head into the week against the Patriots, we are currently 4-4, we are halfway through the season, and we need to do a good job of finding answers.
This is one way that Eberflus can look at it, but it is not as straightforward as this.

In his opinion, expectations are minimized.

As far as the players are concerned, expectations are irrelevant to them because they come from the outside. There was no doubt that the expectation was higher than 4-4 at the halfway mark.

The projected softer schedule, along with the expectation that they would be able to win at least one or two games away from home, is what has led to the disappointment.

There is still time for the Bears to make a change in their strategy, and a significant portion of it will be contingent on Caleb Williams doing better than he has in the previous two games.

The yards that Justin Fields gained on the ground is being sent to Pittsburgh. The impact that Fields had on the rushing game contributed to the improvement of both the run blocking and the running backs at the same time. When it came to the running game, defenses had to worry about too much to be able to eliminate everything. Naturally, there was a downturn. It would be unreasonable to attribute the entire situation to Fields’s loss, given that he went from being ranked second to being ranked 23rd and 26th in yards per attempt.

Unpredictability has been observed in the run blocking. D’Andre Swift got out to a rough start, but he has shown significant improvement over the past five games, accumulating a total of 505 yards. Roschon Johnson, who had previously recovered from an injury, also got off to a sluggish start.

It is the rushing game on offense that the Bears need to improve the most in order to be able to operate the play-action passing game and give opponents something to worry about. This will prevent teams from being able to tee off on Williams.
