Report: What Went Wrong for Bears Against Cardinals
It’s always said defense travels.
Apparently it had plane reservation issues for the Bears this week.
The Bears always think they have a shot in road games because of their defense, even though it’s only a theory at this point.
They can’t prove this to actually be true because they haven’t actually won a road game this year. They haven’t won a Sunday day game since Matt Nagy was coach.
Winning in London, a neutral field, over an opponent arriving late because of a hurricane doesn’t count.
And Sunday the defense they did bring along didn’t arrive with injured Montez Sweat or Kyler Gordon or Jaquan Brisker in the lineup. It didn’t even have Tyrique Stevenson after his Hail Mary fiasco last week and his subsequent reported walk off the practice field on Wednesday, even though someone should have told Jay Glazer, who broke this story for Fox, that they didn’t actually practice Wednesday. It was only a walk-through.
Eventually, Stevenson did play after two series and needed to because replacement Terell Smith became another injury victim with an ankle.
It’s assumed the defense will return in its regular state. The offense is a no-show.
An honest look at the good, the bad and the ugly from Sunday’s 29-9 loss by the Bears to Arizona would actually be a bad, worse and ugly, or foul-smelling, worse and ugly.
There actually was good, though. No one cares about it, but it was there.
So here’s the good, the bad and the ugly from Sunday’s loss.
