With Green Bay presumably still trying to figure out how to play defense and the Lions projected to be the Lions, a decent handful of folks thought the Bears would be the class of the NFC North this season — or at least contend for the division title.
Instead, they dropped to 3-4 on Sunday with a humbling home loss to the Dolphins. They're 0-3 at home, and the wheels are coming off the bus. Per the Chicago Sun Times (portion of sports home page screen-shotted for your amusement):
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall reportedly called out quarterback Jay Cutler in the locker room after the game, players were heard screaming at each other about "heart,'' guard Kyle Long told reporters that fans' boos at Soldier Field were "unacceptable'' and former Bear Blake Costanzo tweeted that coach Marc Trestman "has made the Bears soft.''
Would it be safe to assume that this isn't the atmosphere of "respect and humility'' that Trestman is trying create?
Has he lost his team? Has Cutler?
These are the kinds of questions that get asked when teams are falling apart. The Bears looked like they were in mid-implosion.
