The Chicago Bears may have just endured the worst 24 hour span a team can endure. It started of course with their embarrassment at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. They lost the game 31-3 and it could've been a lot worse had the Eagles bothered to try in the second half. Chicago had no offense all game. Jordan Howard was held to minus yardage and Mitch Trubisky threw two interceptions. It was an ugly scene.
Things only got worse from there. Soon after word came out the plane scheduled to take them home after the game had broken down. This forced them to wait hours until another plane could be brought around to do so. Last but not least? Word came out today that an incident involving spoiled sushi that wasn't properly disposed of created an awful stench inside Halas Hall.
It seems the multitude of hits to their collective psyches finally got tempers to boil over. According to several media sources inside the building, a nasty argument broke out between a group of players within earshot.
Chicago Bears players vent their frustrations at each other
It's clear this is a team of competitors that is facing the prospect of a fourth-straight losing season and seventh-straight season without a trip to the playoffs. Next to the Cleveland Browns they've become the running joke in NFL circles. A team that should know its place at the very bottom of the ladder. That doesn't seem to sit well with many players who were drafted or signed due to their character and leadership qualities. Guys used to winning don't enjoy losing. It really is amazing how similar this season has become to the 2014 disaster involving Marc Trestman. He was fired at the end of the year. This could be a sign that John Fox is headed down that path as well.
