Memo to Bears: NFL now a passing league

Justin Fields has shown himself to be a dynamic playmaker with his legs, but questions about his passing ability persist.

Two thoughts about these Bears:

First, this might be the worst Bears team I’ve seen.

Yes, there have been other bad ones, such as the 1969 team that went 1-13. But they had Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus, excitement on either side of the ball.

The 2016 Bears were 3-13, and, yes, they were terrible. Nothing to see there unless Brian Hoyer got you worked up. A possible contender.

But no Bears team had lost 14 games in a season until this one.
