Here we are again, Bears fans—another Monday morning, another week starting off with that familiar, gut-wrenching feeling. There’s something uniquely brutal about waking up after a Bears loss, especially when the game left us questioning why we even bothered to get our hopes up in the first place. The optimism we clung to during the offseason? It’s slowly slipping through our fingers, and now we’re left with a season that feels as grim as the November skies over Soldier Field.

Sunday’s game brought all the worst parts of being a Bears fan right to the surface. The defense that couldn’t hold a lead, the offense that stalled when we needed it most, and a head coach who… well, let’s just say it’s starting to feel like Eberflus might not be the guy to turn this around. Sure, we’ve been through disappointing seasons before, but this one feels different—like it’s caught in a loop of missed opportunities and unrealized potential.

Monday morning scaries? It’s not just the fact that we lost; it’s the dread of looking at the rest of the schedule and wondering where the wins will come from, if they come at all. It’s the creeping realization that the progress we thought we’d see this season might just be another mirage.

So here’s to another Monday of shrugging off the coworkers’ jabs, debating if we can keep doing this, and wondering if there’s anything left to salvage. It’s tough to stay hopeful—but hey, we’re Bears fans.
