Chicago Bears: Three keys to beat the Los Angeles Chargers

3. Flush last weekend

The game against the Saints was bad. The Bears know that. Heck everybody knows that. But you can’t change it, so you need to flush it. There wasn’t much to take away from the game so the worst thing the Bears can do is dwell on it, even if the fans are.

The fans have every right to be frustrated with how they play but need to remember the season still has 10 games left. We get that the Bears don’t look like they can turn it around, but it is still possible. Crazier things have happened.

If the Bears keep the Saints game in their minds it will affect how they play against the Chargers. As much as you want them to learn about what they did wrong against the Saints, if you let the feeling linger or feel sorry for yourself this is going to turn into multiple losses in a row.

You always need to learn from your mistakes, but teams always have those games were you just look back and say forget it. This is one of those games. The other losses for the Bears didn’t look as bad as this one and the Bears need to flip the script.

Luckily for Chicago, the Chargers are struggling about as bad as they are and looked prime to be taken out. Los Angeles looked like a team ready to challenge for the AFC, but instead, they sit at just 2-5 and had a bad loss to the Titans last weekend. This is not the game we thought it would be when the schedule came out and the Bears need to take advantage.

Either way, you look at this game, if the Bears can’t let go of their loss with the Saints then they are going to come out flat and lose. If they let it go and come out with a plan to run the ball then they can keep the Beras faithful in the game and make life very difficult for the Rivers and company.
