Bears continue to embarrass themselves ahead of Week 11 matchup vs. Packers

Friends, good news: the Chicago Bears are officially on one.

If you can believe it, a season that started with a ton of promise and potential in Chicago turned out to be a dud. If you can believe it, the Prince Who Was Promised hasn't actually been a very good quarterback, and now the Bears are staring at even more dysfunction than they were this time last year. And if you can believe it, Matt Eberflus may not be a very good leader.

The latest example of the Bears being the Bears came on Tuesday morning, when they announced that they finally got around to firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. After eight weeks of the ugliest football you've ever seen in Chicago since last year, Waldron will get replaced by passing game coordinator Thomas Brown. Now the Bears will try and salvage their season with yet another mid-season coordinator firing, which typically always works out.

The Bears are the Bears and will continue being the Bears forever and ever

For the uninitated, this is how things go in Chicago. George McCaskey hires a defensive-minded coach who checks all the Good Guy boxes, and things go okay for a little bit. The defense gets good, which Chicago loves, and people start believing again.

Then they draft a great quarterback with a ton of potential with the idea that he'll be the world's best replacement-level game manager. Chicago doesn't love that as much. After that comes a bunch of really tone-deaf answers from said head coach, a few mid-season desparation moves, and then eventually his pink slip. The QB moves on somewhere else and looks salvagable, but the cycle begins anew in Chicago. Somewhere in there, they lose to the Packers. Time is a flat circle.

So as things currently stand, the Bears are in the middle of the tone-deaf/desparation moves part of this current cycle; things are going as planned. That's even better news for Packers fans, because a quick peek at the schedule would serve as a great reminder that Green Bay has the opportunity to do the absolute funniest thing this weekend.

The Bears' season is hanging by a thread (if even that), and they've spent all week embarrassing themselves. Now the Packers can finish the job, at Soldier Field, this weekend. Life is good.
