In less than three weeks into the NFL season, the Chicago Bears have fallen apart. Between the inept play calling from Luke Getsy, the public rift between Justin Fields and the coaching staff, and Alan Williams resigning from his role as DC.
The Bears offensive play calling has been impressively bad to start the season and it has already gotten to the point where opposing defenses know what’s coming.
Regarding Justin Fields’ pick-six against the Buccaneers, Lavonte David had this to say.
“They ran a screen, same formation, everyone knew what was coming,” which shows how bad Getsy has been as a play-caller to start the season.
In both of J.T. O’Sullivan’s breakdowns, he has said “this just doesn't exist in football,” when discussing the Bears' offensive scheme.
Another one of the Bears' massive issues is the public rift between Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields.
Constantly, Matt Eberflus has gone on to defend Luke Getsy’s play calls in either his postgame presser or on the radio.
Most recently, Eberflus went on to say he agreed with the play call that resulted in the pick-six against Tampa Bay.
Let me remind you the same play was called three consecutive times with one being a false start, one being a pass interference, and then finally a pick-six.
This isn’t Madden Matt, defenses can actually run a good defense when they see the Bears run the same exact formation and play three consecutive times.
In his media availability, Justin Fields had a lot of things to say about the slow start for the Bears.
"My goal is to say 'F it' and go out and play football how I know to play football. That includes thinking less and playing off instincts rather than so much info in my head, data in my head."
Fields was then asked why he felt so robotic and responded with this, "Could be coaching, I think. At the end of the day, they are doing their job when they are giving me what to look at. But at the end of the day, I can’t be thinking about that when the game comes."
Fields later re-spoke to the media about them taking his comments out of context and making it seem like he was blaming the coaches for the sloppiness of the offense.
And to cap off a crazy week, most of this was all on the same day, former Bears DC Alan Williams officially resigned from his role with the Chicago Bears. Immediately rumors started flying, all of which were debunked within hours of them being said, and earlier in the day Eberflus was refusing to answer any questions regarding Alan Williams.
Hopefully, the Bears can right the ship in week three, but facing the Kansas City Chiefs is no easy task.
