The Bears lost to the Commanders in agonizing fashion on Thursday Night Football, but they had plenty of chances to win.
“When the play is there, make it, plain and simple,” Fields said. “There is no logistics. It's not complicated. It's when you have that opportunity, finish. It's that simple.”
Now the Bears will go into a mini bye week, since they’ll have 10 days between games. Over that time period the coaches will do some serious self-scouting. They’re going to evaluate their scheme and they’re going to evaluate if they need to make any personnel changes. Over Thursday night and Friday morning, Eberflus sounded like a man who would not hesitate to seriously shake things up, not just make a few minor tweaks, to get things right.
“I told the guys, listen, we're right there,” said Eberflus. “We're right there. Just got to keep believing and keep believing in what we're doing and how we're doing it. We're right there and we're going to get over that hump.” The coming week will be a serious test for the Bears and their belief in what they’re building this season. A loss like Thursday’s was grueling enough to send many teams into tailspins. The frustration was palpable in the locker room after the game. Will the players be able to adhere to Eberflus’ 24-hour rule of sitting with the emotions of the game for just one day before resetting their minds and moving forward?hearing it for so long now.
