To offer some brief commentary: In many ways, October 13 feels like a decade ago. I wish I had a time machine. I woke up early that morning and watched the Bears easily defeat the Jaguars in London to move to 4-2. The talk at the time was whether the head coach of the Jags would have a job back in the United States after that game. Indeed, he still does, at least until the end of this season, and it is the Chicago Bears who have fired their Head Coach after a hard to believe six game losing streak. This might have been the worse "Brexit" ever.

Clearly, this was a move for the Bears that had to be made. The team has talent and promise and has been competing strongly in the last few weeks, but Matt Eberflus was in way over his head as the Head Coach and his horrible clock management and other aspects of in-game leadership has cost them a ton of games, both this year and over the last three seasons. To think, he and the organization looked so competent and together during HBO's "Hard Knocks" documentation of training camp. It reminds me of how Kamala Harris and the Democrats at time this summer and fall looked like they were poised for victory too.

The Bears will not have to wait four years though, just another season. Hopefully, they can find a way to entertain their fans and maybe win another game or two before the season ends and a new coach is brought in (or confirmed) and that Caleb Williams will continue to progress into what he is capable of being.
