Since the Bears lost Sunday, I find myself stuck on the direction the team should take for the finale. It wasn’t that the Bears lost —they’re in the middle of a nine-game losing streak — it’s how they lost. In a season where wins have been hard to come by it was disappointing to see what can only be described as quitting.
The q-word is a terrible label. I’m sure that there are plenty of Bears players who are physically and mentally exhausted. The end of this season must feel like reaching Valhalla, but on Sunday the Bears didn’t exhibit Matt Eberflus’ H.I.T.S principle one bit and it was distressing.
