Thursday night’s 41-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys really couldn’t have gone worse for the Chicago Bears.
Not only did the Bears find a way to lose their eighth game of season, but the offense was also embarrassing, the defense even more embarrassing and Brandon Marshall suffered a season-ending injury, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.
Hope is gone for this Bears team, led by second-year head coach Marc Trestman. With the Detroit Lions beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the Bears now are officially eliminated from postseason contention and for the fourth straight season, too.
Aside from draft position and jobs in 2015, there isn’t much left to play for at this stage, no matter what anyone inside the organization says, even Coach Trestman, via ChicagoBears.com:
There’s been certainly moments like this throughout as a head coach that have been extremely challenging. I embrace the challenge each and every day to try to create the best environment I can for this football team, and get it ready to play the next game. So I’m not backing down from that at all.
Frustration is something that is really momentary, and then you just move back into your mode into getting yourself and the football team ready to go. It’s frustrating, but it’s challenging. It’s part of the job to find different ways to send the same messages and help your guys grow, get better, as football players and as a team.
We’re going to relentlessly attack that each and every day that we have our players with us.
While it’s admirable for a head coach to stand tall and defend his process, Trestman’s words clearly have continued to fall flat, given the team’s completely inept offense, defense and special teams.
Let’s now take a look at a couple of Chicago Bears-related items you should know heading into Week 15 of the NFL season.
