Chicago Bears

Losing in a blowout is worse. The Chicago Bears have suffered that indignity twice in 2022, falling 27-10 to Green Bay in Week 2 and 49-29 to the Dallas Cowboys ...

The That is the sign of a good quarterback. The obvious challenge is achieving those goals. While the blowout win in New England was fun, this is still a rebuilding team. The truth is far different. Losing in a blowout is worse.

The Chicago Bears are not a good football team. However, there are signs of development and improvement as Justin Fields wins despite a loss to the Cowboys.

Here is the thing though, if you want to look at how this game was played, there is a moral victory to be had. The Bears have not had luck in this area. The defensive front needs to be upgraded. The offensive line needs to be upgraded. The win over the Patriots was nice, but this team has a long way to go. The wide receivers need to be upgraded.

Pollard rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns in place of the injured Ezekiel Elliott, and Dallas' offense demonstrated how powerful it can be.

Simple mistakes. Big ramifications. That's how the Chicago Bears loss to the Dallas Cowboys must be filed away.

And now we have to look ourselves in the mirror and play Chicago Bear defense.” And you have to do that down in and down out.” I think that was the most points (the Cowboys) let up this year.” “Every performance stands alone by itself,” Eberflus said. We have to trust ourselves and trust our teammates. I think it’s starting to open up some things.” But the ball kept getting outside.” “You just never know what happens on the football field.” The Cowboys converted 9 of 11 third-down attempts, none bigger than a third-and-1 with 10 minutes, 46 seconds remaining. That was big.” “I told our players, ‘Guys, we’re going to look at the tape and we’re going to see it,’” Eberflus said. “That’s my fault for just hopping over him,” Fields said.

Whether it's the secondary, the run defense, the coaching or even the front office, the Chicago Bears' blowout loss in Dallas had blame for many to share.

Neither team had a chance to do much in the kicking, return or coverage game as it was basically a wash. Luke Getsy props up the grade with a brilliant scheme for getting the ground game going again against a very fast defense, and for getting the ball downfield in the passing game. In this case, it could have cut down on the emotional wallop or allowed more time to recover from it. This was the kind of run defense they showed early in the season. What has happened is they get dissected in the air by veteran passers and then when they make adjustments they leave their run defense exposed. Kindle Vildor had enjoyed three straight strong efforts but the Cowboys exposed him, and they capitalized on Jaquan Brisker's inexperence sproadically throughout the game. It happened against Minnesota and in this one, as well as a few others to some extent. This one had all the makings of a game when the running attack would get shut down because they were starting backups Riley Reiff and Michael Schofield on the line. This could have been an A as well, if not for a dropped Velus Jones attempt to reach out for a beautiful deep ball from Justin Fields, and a Fields underthrow to open Equanimeous St. It was their third straight 200-yard game and fourth of the season. They are mirroring the Philadelphia Eagles offense of 2021, in Nick Sirianni's first season. They find a way to run it no matter what, it seems.
