Mix Reaction : As Chicago bears fan call coach Thomas Brown a loser

“We got our butts kicked,” interim coach Thomas Brown said. “There’s no other way to say it. So I’ll just be straightforward, honest and open about the things that transpired.”

So much for a potentially energized effort from the Bears in their first game sinWhat about that horrific first half in which the Bears were outgained — wait for it — 319-4 yards?

We repeat: 319-4!

“They were just getting big chunks,” linebacker T.J. Edwards said. “Against an explosive team like that, it’s hard to stop.”

So how on earth will these Bears, as ragged and fatigued and despondent as they so obviously are, regroup and refocus to play not one, not two, not three but four more games before this season comes to its merciful end?

“Nobody’s going to come save us,” Montez Sweat said. “We’re grown-ass men. We just have to go into this next week and get back to work.”ceNothing Bears interim coach Thomas Brown could say would have adequately provided hope for something better coming from the team any time soon.

So his postgame press conference became one where he repeated he, coaches and players have to do a better job, and several times said they had their rear ends kicked.

This much was apparent to all who saw a team outgained 319 yards to 4 in one half of football.

Caleb Williams suffered the same struggles he usually does in road games, especially against good defenses. And this was the league’s 11th-ranked pass defense but one capable of far more than they showed against the Bears if they had Nick Bosa on the field.

This was possibly the most disappointing aspect of a miserable 38-13 Bears loss.

This was not a good 49ers team. It was one without seven to 10 key players and one with a 5-7 record. An objective look at the schedule would say they had just played their most winnable game. Yet the 49ers handed the Bears their most lopsided loss this season, at least by point differential if you’re keeping track at home.
