Five takeaways from Bears-49ers

The Bears played poorly in a sloppy loss to the 49ers at Soldier Field yesterday and their playoff hopes took yet another hit. What is holding this team back?

Yesterday was an incredibly frustrating game to watch. The Bears played poorly, especially on offense, where great play calling has been a strength, was no where to be found yesterday.

The defense put in their work, getting after Blaine Gabbert and sacking him four times, but yet they couldn't contain him and he managed to lead the 49ers in rushing. The game reminded me a lot of the Minnesota game in that the Bears played fairly well and were in the game most of the time, but were clearly not playing great and then collapsed at the end with a chance to win it.
