Chicago Bears fans know all too well what it’s like to be plodding through a season that appears completely lost. What’s unsettling right now is that the feeling is creeping in after Week 3.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore and cornerback Jaylon Johnson leave the field at halftime Sept. 24, 2023, at Arrowhead Stadium.
Tribune reporters Dan Wiederer and Brad Biggs address four true-or-false questions to offer an assessment of where this team stands and where it goes from here.Wiederer: Let’s get right into it. For these Bears, there’s no coming back from Sunday’s embarrassment and this 0-3 start.False.

Should they look better offensively against the Broncos? Yes. Opponents are averaging 5.6 yards per rush at the beginning of a total reboot for first-year coach Sean Payton. But the Bears offense has been so dysfunctional, it would be disingenuous to suggest any rotten NFL defense is the cure for the current ailment at Halas Hall.Bears running back Roschon Johnson probably put it best Monday. “That was last week,” Johnson said. “In reality it has nothing to do with us.
