Chicago Bears reach a new organizational low after abysmal Week 10 effort

The Chicago Bears' Week 10 game against the New England Patriots was viewed, in many ways, as a must-win game.

With the Bears set to open play against the NFC North next Sunday with a game against the Green Bay Packers, a victory over the Patriots would have halted the team's two-game losing streak following pathetic efforts against the Washington Commanders and Arizona Cardinals.

Many thought the Bears' loss to the Cardinals last Sunday was the lowest that the organization could sink. Instead, the Bears proved their franchise futility can sink even lower with an abysmal showing against the Patriots.

The Bears entered the game with only seven healthy offensive linemen after Nate Davis was a surprise scratch on Sunday morning. The depth of the offensive line was only put into more question when Teven Jenkins was forced to leave the game with an injury.

We must circle back to the offseason when Ryan Poles openly praised the depth that he built up along the Bears' offensive line. Poles may have brought in different names for the Bears' offensive line but it remains a unit that will hinder the development of any quarterback who lines up behind center.

Every decision that Poles has made last offseason has backfired.

The development of Williams has been halted due to an incompetent offensive coaching staff and an offensive line that has proven unable to handle the elementary forms of pass-protection.

For all the talk that Poles and Matt Eberflus have had about the team's culture, the Bears have been fractured since the Hail Mary loss to the Commanders in Week 8. There is no doubt that the fashion in which the Bears lost to the Commanders was devastating. What is even more devastating is the weeks since the loss to the Commanders have proven that Eberflus is a liability to the organization as a whole.
