Stealing a win against Tennessee was vital for the Chicago Bears because the next few weeks will be challenging. They have the Houston Texans up next, who might be the favorites to dethrone Kansas City in the AFC. After that, there are the Indianapolis Colts, who went 9-8 last season, and then the Los Angeles Rams, who made the playoffs. It was already reported that L.A. suffered a huge loss last weekend when star receiver Puka Nacua aggravated a knee injury, landing him on IR.
It appears the Bears’ strokes of luck haven’t ended. 24 hours later, the news broke that the Colts had lost starting cornerback JuJu Brents to injured reserve with a knee injury. This is a big loss, considering how well he played last season when healthy. It is also a bad sign since the defense allowed over 400 yards last week, even with him on the field.
The Chicago Bears have an opportunity coming up.
They want to get Caleb Williams going at quarterback after his frustrating debut. Indianapolis may present the perfect opportunity. Brents’ exit exposes a significant depth concern in their secondary. They still have former Pro Bowl nickel corner Kenny Moore. After that, it gets dicey. Included are former 7th round pick Jaylon Jones, former undrafted free agent Dallis Flowers, and former 7th round pick Rodney Thomas. This doesn’t include DeForest Buckner, who is dealing with a back injury. So their coverage unit is depleted, and the key to their entire pass rush is hurt. If the Chicago Bears can give Williams adequate protection in that game, it is possible his receiver could feast against the Colts.
I struggle to celebrate another man’s misfortune as Luck.
Where’s that twit twty…FYI, according to PFF the Bears highest graded offense player Sunday was …..Nate Davis. WHAT! That can’t be possible can it? Ya just like I suspected he’s ghosted us again since he was so far off on his predictions. Hey twit…dur dur dur
Are we going to block this week and actually run the ball? I need to see it please.
The only thing you can control is this moment right now. As long as players are driven to execute in that one play, good things will happen. So, forget talking about the future schedule and bogus predictions. If the Bears simply play to their potential they will have a great record.
I’m seriously considering flying to TX and attending the game in person. What to do? Time is tight. I wish it was in the Bay Area or in Seattle.
