Victory formation down 17 truly epitomizes everything we’ve come to learn about Matt Eberflus’ Chicago Bears.
In Eberflus’ introductory press conference in January 2021, he warned Bears players to “get [their] track shoes”. His HITS Principle stands for hustle, intensity, the ball, and intensity. The Bears fail in every category.
Staking its claim as the league’s biggest laughingstock, Chicago looked decrepit and outmatched on both sides of the ball. The team allowed 30+ points for the fourth time this season and scored 20 or less for the fifth time.
You can’t blame a D-II undrafted rookie quarterback making his second start for looking like a D-II undrafted rookie quarterback making his second start. No, the organizational ineptitude doesn’t fall upon the shoulders of Tyson Bagent.
