Even after a 4-1 start, the Chicago Bears haven’t garnered any respect. If you ask most, they’ll say the Bears are the worst 4-1 team in quite awhile. Which they’ve got a point to a degree, at least in terms of the offense.
But the only thing that matters is that the Bears are 4-1 through the first five weeks. And they’ve accomplished that despite some pretty ugly performances.
CBS Sports’ Amy Trask believes that despite how the Bears are winning — which is ugly on a week-to-week basis – they’ve got an opportunity to compete for a postseason berth.
“Let me tell you, something men, there is, in my mind, no such thing as an ugly win,” Trask said. “A win is a win is a win, it’s a thing of beauty.”

The Bears defense hasn’t been great, but they’ve been good against some pretty high-powered offenses this season. They’ve developed this bend-don’t-break mentality that’s been good enough for four — you could argue five — wins.
It’s been the offense that’s continued to hold this team back, even with the change at quarterback from Mitchell Trubisky to Nick Foles. The offense as a whole has struggled to get much going — whether that’s struggles in the passing game or the failure of the run game over these last two games.
So just imagine what this Bears team could look like once they actually manage to put together a complete game.
