Getty The Chicago Bears have now lost five straight.
The Chicago Bears are currently in the process of hitting rock bottom as a franchise. Again. After getting embarrassed on national television in a prime time game against a divisional rival for the second week in a row, it’s looking more and more like significant, sweeping changes could be coming to Chicago when the season is over.
The Bears have never fired a head coach or GM during the regular season — if and when it happens, it has always taken place once the season is over, which is how team owner Virginia Halas McCaskey and her son, chairman George McCaskey have chosen to handle things. That likely will not change — and neither will the increasing amount of criticism that seems to be coming at the team from all avenues. Even retired professional wrestlers had something to say when the Bears were getting manhandled by the Green Bay Packers Sunday night.

Wrestling Legend The Iron Sheik Blasts Bears on Twitter

Former WWE legend The Iron Sheik (neé Hossein Khosrov Ali Vaziri), who is very active on Twitter, was also apparently watching the Bears get stomped in all three phases Sunday. The retired legend decided to take to Twitter to share his thoughts and feelings about what he was seeing, and he did not hold back an inch.
The Sheik let out a steady stream of ‘F’ bombs, also noting — randomly and without merit — that the team was embarrassing former defensive standout William ‘The Refrigerator’ Perry, a member of Chicago’s famed ’85 defense. Here’s a sample of what he had to say about the Bears Sunday evening:

Meanwhile, Bears HC Matt Nagy, on the Hot Seat, is Still Saying the Same Things…
With Twitter abuzz over the Bears’ current woes and ineptitude, head coach Matt Nagy was asked if he felt his job was in jeopardy after the team’s loss Sunday. Nagy said he felt nothing of the sort, and he continued to say the same things he has been saying for five weeks straight:
“When you lose and you lose five in a row, you are getting challenged big time,” he said. “What’s easy to do, the easy way, is to just start pointing fingers and just say it’s not my fault. That’s what is easy to do. And unfortunately, right now, there’s a lot that do that. We’re not. We’re going to fight … We’re not going to point fingers, we’re not going to blame. We’re going to line up and play the next game that they allow us to play and we freaking go, and we fight for each other. That’s all we’re going to do. We’re not going to be negative. We’re not going to be down. We understand. We’re frustrated. We’re pissed off. We’re angry. Every feeling that you have, we have. But we got to fix it. And we got to do it on the football field.”
After losing five in a row following a 5-1 start, there are plenty of negatives for the Chicago Bears — whether their head coach wants to see them or not.
