Last year the Chicago Bears were 3-2 heading into the bye week after an upset loss. Well well here we are again. 3-2 and coming off a bye week and most would consider an upset loss to the Raiders. (Last year it was the Dolphins) A bounce-back is definitely possible but this year we have a first-place schedule. Instead of a last-place schedule.
Can Da Bears Bounce Back Again?
Same Song And Dance

What Happens with the Offense
It looks like we have seen the end of the Kyle Long era upfront. Kyle Long has been a warrior for Da Bears and all I can say is thank you! We have a lot of work to do upfront and hopefully, we have got things fixed.
Now we turn to QB1, Mitchell Trubisky. Bears fans, in the words of our hated nemesis, R-E-L-A-X. Give the guy a chance. Trubisky did not play a lot in college, so we knew this would be a process. Everyone is too quick to judge a QB. Trubisky has practised all week, so it looks like he will be back this Sunday against the Saints.

Defense is Needed For A Big 2nd half
The defense for the first time in a long time, got pushed around in London. It was shocking to see them not play well, in a game you know Khalil Mack wanted to play well in, against his former team. A week off could have been just want we needed to bounce back.
The bounce back though will have to be done without Akiem Hicks upfront. He was placed on IR and that is a massive hole to fill. Goldman got a pay raise and now it is his time to show he has earned it.
The Saints Come to Town
The Saints have been red hot and Teddy Bridgewater has shown he deserves to be a starter in this league. Alvin Kamara has been banged up, so with the injuries and Da Bears coming off a bye week.. I see Da Bears pulling this one out 23-20.
