The Chicago Bears head to Foxboro to face the New England Patriots this Sunday. The Bears have been a complete mess this week, and head coach Marc Trestman is trying to convince the fans and the media that everything has been just fine this week at Halas Hall.

The truth is that things aren’t fine. The Bears have been erratic through their first seven games and now face a situation where they have to win one of the next two games, which is highly unlikely. Based on the fact that the Bears have zero ability to win in Green Bay when Aaron Rodgers is playing, that means the season is on the line on Sunday.

Unfortunately for Chicago, the Patriots are hot. After the world wrote them off after a week four loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, they have reeled off three straight, and Tom Brady is putting up the numbers that we have grown accustomed to seeing. Bill Belichick has his team focused, while Trestman’s team seems anything but.

This isn’t a game about matchups. This isn’t about neutralizing Brady, taking away Julian Edelman, or if the Bears can get Matt Forte back in the game plan. This game for Chicago is about being professionals, being focused, and being a team. Right now, it seems that the Patriots are all three, while the Bears are none of those.

If both teams play their best games, the Bears will lose, but the Patriots have been susceptible to bad games and aren’t the unbeatable team that they have been in years past. The Bears do have a chance; they just have to put last week behind them. They have to play their best game of the year, and the defense needs to bottle up Brady like it did against Colin Kaepernick, and not how they have allowed every other quarterback this season to have a very good game.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Bears are still unraveling. It’s hard to look at this team and legitimately think they can go on the road and beat the Patriots. It’s difficult to imagine that the Bears have put their issues behind them, and there really isn’t any way to logically believe the Bears can come out of this game victorious.

I think this Sunday is going to be ugly. I think Brady is going to spread the ball around and keep his offense moving up and down the field. The Bears’ offense has yet to crack 30 points this season, something we all thought would happen routinely this season. If they have any chance of winning, they are going to have to break that streak, but based on their inconsistent play, that doesn’t seem likely.

Final Score: Patriots 34, Bears 17
