Good morning, folks.

Three weeks ago, the Chicago Bears entered a bye week at 4-2 heading into a three-game set that represented the easiest part of the schedule before the Bears’ first divisional game of the year.

Three weeks later, the Bears are on a three-game losing streak, fired their offensive coordinator, cut an offensive lineman, cast a shadow of a quarterback controversy, and oh by the way, now they face the Green Bay Packers .

Isn’t it great, folks?

Thomas Brown makes his Bears’ OC debut amid the firing of Shane Waldron and is faced with the task of putting players in the best positions to succeed and getting the offense into a rhythm much sooner.

It’s a first and last attempt to make something of the rest of the season. The Bears have their entire divisional schedule ahead of them to get back into the playoffs, and if they have any plans to save Matt Eberflus’ job, the Navy and Orange will get to work on that starting this week by quickly to start and score often.

It’s been a tough week. I hope we at least have something positive at the end of it. Bear Down, my friends.
