The Chicago Bears lost another one to the hated Green Bay Packers, but there wasn't quite the same sting as in previous games because when I look at the big picture for this franchise, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Justin Fields set some more records yesterday, and he's shown growth this entire season.

This roster is full of too many holes to realistically compete, so keep that in mind as Chicago closes the season out with the toughest schedule remaining on any other team in the NFL.

Look for the rostered players that will be here beyond this season for development and potential, and enjoy the ride.

At 6:00 p.m. (CT), Jeff Berckes and I will dive into our day after takes on the last game, so join us!

Here's our bullet point outline of Bear & Balanced.

• Intro: We'll both share some general thoughts about the game.
