One way to survive the maddening 2019 Bears is to have low expectations. If you go into a game not counting on much from them, you won’t be disappointed.
Another survival tool is skepticism. When the Bears win a game against a poor team and start talking about it as a possible momentum changer in a depressing season, the enlightened among us know to trust the party line the way we would a downed power line.
The Bears walked into Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Sunday night as a six-point underdog to the Rams. That was a pretty good sign for informed Bears observers to keep expectations at ankle level.
