THE BEARS CAN STILL MAKE THE PLYOFFS

 Who says they're out? The Chicago Bears sits at a record of 4-8, with a craggy 12-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. They also are last in the NFC North, but the schedule they have coming up is one of the easiest. 

Offensive Struggles 

The Bears offense ranks 19th according to ESPN, surprisingly in the middle if the pack but it does not look good on tv. More than 10 of Justin Fields completions last game vs the Vikings were caught behind the line of scrimmage. For that to be your starting quarterback, I would say you don't trust him. The Bears inconsistent offense has been their biggest downfall and it has to change if they want to make a playoff push.

The Bright side 

The Bears have a young and talented defense. The bears had 4 picks vs the Vikings last game and sits at the top of the league in run defense. Like always this defense has to carry this team to the playoffs. With the late addition of a solid edge rusher Montrez Sweat, the Bears pressure rates has been up. The Bears also look for their veteran safety Eddie Jackson to step up as well. If everything goes right watch out for them to sneak into the playoffs.

The Jump 

The Bears sit 13th in the playoff race for the NFC and need some help in their division. With a huge win

over the Minnesota Vikings the Bears stay alive. They need losses from The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers and also need the Vikings to keep losing. As painful as this season has been there is hope at the end of the tunnel. 

NBA Refs Need To Be Fined

 Enough is enough! NBA refs need to be held more accountable. 

Techs Vs Celebrations

    Too many times they have cost the player and teams the game. The most recent event last night with star Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected in the 3rd quarter vs the Detroit Pistons. Giannis drove to the paint, dunked on a Detroit defender and was ultimately ejected for this picking up his second technical foul. with the call and sat in the stands for a brief second.

Milwaukee had a 13 point lead at the time of the ejection. They now trail Detroit by 8 at the end of the 3rd quarter😬 pic.twitter.com/U3uI9zSxAk

Jayson Tatum Vs Draymond Green 

Jayson Tatum Star forward for the Boston Celtics, was playing defense vs the Oklahoma City Thunder and received a reach-in-foul, clapped and afterwards received an technical foul. Tatum was in astonished by the call. Tatum may have also been simply frustrated in himself, he was shooting 1-8 from the field and just had missed a layup on the other end. Compared to Draymond Green, a known hot head, Draymond can be seen yelling at officials and holding up the game and not receiving an tech.

Yet Jayson Tatum would get a technical for clapping at himself lmfao pic.twitter.com/oH6touMjQy https://t.co/gqDTqiO4e6

Accountably

Too many times Officials have controlled of the game. The last NBA ref that was actually fined was over 10 years ago. The proposal NBA players and coaches should make is have a senior official at every game or on standby that can overrule the call at any time. Also, if the call is wrong the refs should be on a 3-strike system and after the 3-strikes, and  they should be fined accordingly.

Coaches 

Recently, Memphis Grizzles head coach, Taylor Jenkins, was fined 25k for public criticism on NBA officials. The Grizzles inly has 2 wins on the season and is off to a slow start. Memphis star forward Jarren Jackson Jr. was also ejected from the game.
