4. Bears continue to shoot themselves in the foot
If you could point at one thing that has hurt the Bears more than anything this season, it would be the sheer amount of times that they seem to be their own undoing. The self-inflicted mistakes and costly penalties have hurt the Bears in more ways than one.
And that was surely on display against New York, where the Bears almost managed to drop a loss to the lowly Giants. Lucky for the Bears, the Giants didn’t want seem to want to the game either, and they wound up committing more mistakes than Chicago.
Per usual, the Bears’ self-inflicted mistakes happened in the place of what would’ve been positive plays, whether it was a Cody Whitehair penalty negating what would’ve been a season-long pass play of 60 yards to Allen Robinson or Ben Braunecker dropping what a touchdown, which was followed up soon after by a Trubisky interception in the endzone or Eddy Pineiro’s 48-yard extra point attempt that was shanked.
