Dan Hampton, Ed O’Bradovich and Andy Masur react to the final game of the season as the Bears lose to the Packers 17-9 (10th straight loss to Green Bay) The Bears, riding so much momentum (winners 4 out of the last 5), came out flat in a game that was much worse than the final scoreboard shows. The Bears played like they had nothing to win, which showed in the result. Green Bay finished with a total yardage of 432 compared to Chicago’s 192 from the line of scrimmage, resulting in bad taste and heading into an offseason with many questions. The Bears finish the 2023 season with a 7-10 record. The Bears will hold the 1st overall and 9th overall pick in April’s draft.  Plenty of questions await the Bears as they head into a pivotal offseason. https://serve.castfire.com/audio/4476802/4476802_2024-01-08-055202.64kmono.mp3 Dates to mark in your calendar: March 2-5 – NFL Scouting Combine  March 13 – NFL Free Agency Begins April 25-27 – NFL Draft September 5 – 2024 NFL Season Kickoff More Coverage Chicago Bears Do you feel good about the Bears’ coordinator hires? .cls-4{fill:#000;} Ex-Bears coach Eberflus returns to Cowboys to run the defense; Sorensen takes over special teams .cls-4{fill:#000;} Bears hire Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator under new coach Ben Johnson .cls-4{fill:#000;} Dan Hampton previews Super Bowl LIX .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Ben Johnson’s HS coach says ‘He’s the man for the job’ .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Click for more
