I usually hate bye weeks that come this freaking early, but the more I think about it the more I realize this might be a perfect time for them.
The Bears are 2 points away from being 4-0 and are one of the hottest teams in the league. We have the #1 defense in the NFL and possibility of a top 10 offense. A huge, emotional, win yesterday and the Bears are literally on fire. Literally.
Perhaps this bye is what the Bears need to regain focus and slow things down. I understand the importance of a hot streak and letting it ride and not killing momentum, but perhaps this young team needs to spend a few weeks in the film room reviewing why they have been so spectacular.
My hope is that Nagy and Co can use these two weeks as an opportunity to remind their team that Super Bowls aren't won in the regular season. I hope they focus hard on the fundamentals of football and this new system and really solidify everything that has been thrown at them since OTAs and use the bye as a springboard on their march to the playoffs. Slow it down, Nagy, and continue driving your philosophy into the players both physically and mentally. Don't let them get too emotional and keep them focused on big goals.
It's going to be a long two weeks, but boys, it's going to be so worth it. The Bears are back, baby!
BEAR DOWN!
