I think it is important to note that this is NOT based upon this season alone but rather on the entire "body of work" product over the past 30 years:
LINK As hope fades for the Bears’ 100th season, it might be time for the McCaskey family to sell the team
Let’s stop messing around as the Bears’ 100th season has begun to resemble their 98th, 97th, 96th, 95th and so on, which is to say they look awful.
Maybe it’s time for the McCaskey family to put its birthright on the auction block.
Perhaps the heirs of NFL founding father George Halas should sell the team.
When a team musters just 9 offensive yards in a half of football en route to a fourth successive loss, it’s time for some honest introspection.
While it is an article of faith that Papa Bear’s dying wish in 1983 was for the franchise to remain in his family’s control in perpetuity when he bequeathed control to daughter Virginia McCaskey, now 96, it’s also safe to say he never wanted his team to go more than three decades without a championship.
The team was supposed to go to his son, but unfortunately, he passed. The McASSkeys have no other anything to fall back on. They are living off Bear meat, and will never sell the team. It is the basis of their entire income. And Petty Teddy's management of that income is the ultimate problem here IMO.
In other words, short of a Game of Thrones coup, we are doomed in perpetuity. I'm just hoping the blind squirrel will find another nut in my remaining lifetime.

At this point I'm just happy I got to witness my Cubbies winning the World Series before going back to screwing it up for the next 108 years. lol
