Where do I even start? After the first two weeks we've witnessed from these Chicago Bears, it's hard to find words. But at the same time, this is what the fan base has grown used to. It's the norm.
And, as sad as that is, things don't appear to be getting any easier -- at least not if the NFL has its way. In Week 3, the Bears take on the Dallas Cowboys who, despite the late-offseason laughter, look like a competitive football team.
In that late-afternoon matchup on Sunday, the Bears and Cowboys get none other than Tom Brady broadcasting the game via FOX. So, Brady will of course spend all week gathering as much information from Bears coaches and studying the past two weeks of film in order to put out a great product for the broadcast.
There's only one problem: Brady spends tons of time in the Las Vegas Raiders' coaching offices and game booths as a minority owner. Why might this be a problem?
The Bears play Vegas the following week.
The NFL seemingly has no problem setting the Bears up to fail vs. Tom Brady's Raiders
So, let's get this straight. Thanks to the Week 2 Monday Night Football broadcast, we learned how much time Brady spends with Raiders coaches like offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. The two of them meet two to three times per week, apparently.
Just a week before his Raiders take on the Bears, Brady gets to take an inside look at Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams and Chicago's organization in order to give the national audience the best possible broadcast during their tilt with Dallas.
No one at NFL headquarters seems to have noticed. Or, if they did, no one has an issue with this situation.
I'll tell you who has an issue with this situation: Bears fans.
This fan base can't even rest for a day after the Lions beat these Bears down in humiliating fashion. No, instead, the fans have to come to the realization that the league is completely OK with setting this team up to fail.
Brady will do his best to get all the inside information he can in order to pass it along to Pete Carroll and company just before the two teams meet in Week 4. It doesn't seem right.

But, hey, it's the Bears. No one cares about the Bears these days.
