After going 4-2 heading into their bye week, the Chicago Bear saw their playoff chances destroyed during their three-game losing streak. After their loss to the New England Patriots, the Bears fell to 4-5 on the season, and with the current NFC standings, they sit in 10th place in the conference, along with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers ahead of them competing for the title. joker place.
With eight games remaining in the season, the Bears will face all of their NFC North division opponents twice, plus the Seahawks and 49ers to end the year. These divisional games will not only provide insight into where the Bears stand compared to other teams in their division, but could also change the playoff opportunities for each team.
The three straight losses have made any chance of qualifying for the playoffs all but impossible for Chicago, and they currently have less than one percent change to make it happen. Entering Monday Night Football in Week 10, the Bears have a 0.77% chance of making the playoffs, according to the Pro Football Network Playoff Predictor.
Given the slim-to-no odds currently facing Chicago, calls for changes will grow within the coaching staff, particularly with head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. On Monday, Eberflus evaded potential upcoming changes, but did not want to reveal them during its press session on Monday.
Regardless of what changes potentially are made, the Bears will need to defy all odds if they want to give themselves a chance at making the playoffs. At this point, there will always be next year to hope the Bears return to the playoffs.
