CHICAGO — OK. Well. Yikes.
That is certainly going to leave a mark.
A season-opening loss to the rival Green Bay Packers? Those Packers? The Rodgers-and-Favre-less and seemingly middle-of-the-road Packers?
In that manner? In that flat and sloppy and-destroyed-at-home fashion?
Whoa.
Whatever that was the Chicago Bears put forth as their Week 1 performance Sunday at Soldier Field best be a one-off, a never-to-be-experienced-again disappointment that is promptly buried and forgotten.
It wasn’t just that the Bears lost their season opener 38-20 to the Packers, it was how poorly they played across the board.
