Matt Forte, Matt Slauson take shots at former Bears coaches

Matt Forte

The Chicago Bears may have lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but several players saw a silver lining to the defeat.

Running back Matt Forte and G Matt Slauson both recognized that the Bears had some mental toughness and didn’t quit the way the team did last year under the previous coaches.

Slauson specifically compared this year’s team under new head coach John Fox to last year’s disaster under Marc Trestman:

Trestman was famous for being in love with throwing the ball, which led to tons of turnovers for Jay Cutler. It’s also something Forte specifically complained about last year. While Cutler still had a critical interception at the end, they limited him to 34 attempts, and they handed the ball to Forte 24 times. He only topped that mark last year once when he toted the rock 26 times in a Week 11 win. What’s more is that the Bears’ offense didn’t give up and scored a touchdown in the final two minutes to make it 31-23.
