Last year, the Matt Eberflus era started off with an litany of problems. Most Chicago Bears fans ignored all the issues because the expectation was that 2022 would be the year to pay off the sins of the Ryan Pace era. Don’t look over here at the termite damage and definitely don’t look over there at the rotting window sills. We’ll get to it. Trust us.
The problem is that while the talent has seemingly improved across the roster, the results have remained unacceptable. One stat that I keep coming back to is quarterback sacks recorded by this defense.
