The 2023 season ended the same way it started for the Chicago Bears: by letting the Green Bay Packers move the ball all over their defense. Only this time, the Packers were playing for a postseason berth,
while the Bears were looking to prove their staff should remain in place going into next season. The former wound up coming to fruition as the Packers took down the Bears 17-9 to punch their playoff ticket, while the Bears are left wondering where to go from here.
Green Bay may not have scored many points, but they controlled the game. The Bears defense allowed Jordan Love to throw the ball all over the field, while Aaron Jones sliced through the front seven for big gains all day long. Chicago looked out of position and was unable to get the Packers off the field. Green Bay didn’t punt once.
Offensively, the Bears struggled to protect Justin Fields in what could be his final game with the team and unveiled a lukewarm gameplan from offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. For the second time this season, they didn’t score a touchdown all game long, and now the tough decisions that have hung over their heads for the better part of the year need to be made.
If Bears fans have their way, those decisions will include moving on from Matt Eberflus and his staff. Fans took to social media to share their pain and demand change be made now that the season has come to an end.
