Breaking: Bears’ Double Defeat Sparks Crisis in…
Everyone should have seen it coming and some people did.
Shortly after Sunday’s disaster in the desert for the Bears, quarterback Caleb Williams was asked if he felt like the defeat in Washington by Hail Mary pass had impacted the team.
“I think early on in the week I think we could have done better overall of bounce-back better than that,” Williams said. “I know it’s a tough loss. It’s tough lregardless of who you are in the facility, if you’re out there making plays or if making decisions up top.”
The Bears lost to the Cardinals in the days immediately following their loss to the Commanders.
In this week’s power rankings, The 33rd Team’s Marcus Mosher pointed out the impact of turning a loss into two losses. Many others have done the same.
However, Mosher added an element to explain why.
“Young teams often let one loss snowball into another,” Mosher wrote. “And that’s what happened to the Chicago Bears in Week 9 as they let the Hail Mary loss to the Commanders impact their play against the Cardinals this week.”‘
The Bears are still a young team. They had the eighth youngest roster coming into the season and that’s with a few old players on it like Marcedes Lewis and Patrick Scales, tipping the scales so to speak.
It still doesn’t excuse the way the coaching staff handled the entire situation.
The power rankings this week reflect lack of confidence in the Bears, their coaching staff and their ability to get back into the mix.
