Why do the Chicago Bears consistently struggle through the first half—only to come alive late in the fourth quarter? In Episode #69 of Logic Dictate: Hot Topics, host Steve Gibson breaks down the psychological, strategic, and tactical reasons behind the Bears’ slow starts. From game-planning and quarterback mindset to run-game deployment and upcoming matchups against the Los Angeles Rams, Gibson explores what must change if Chicago wants to control games from the opening drive—and make a serious playoff push.

Welcome back to Logic Dictate: Hot Topics, the podcast where law, logic, psychology, and strategy collide—on and off the field. I’m Steve Gibson, and today we’re tackling a question every Bears fan knows all too well: why does Chicago wait half a game—or more—before playing its best offense?

We’ve seen flashes of dominance, like the run-heavy success against the Philadelphia Eagles, but too often the Bears don’t hit their stride until desperation sets in. That raises serious questions about coaching orientation, quarterback preparation, and early-game strategy—especially with tough opponents and playoff implications ahead.

If the Bears can execute in the final minutes, why can’t they do it in the first five drives?

With bad weather looming, a mid-tier Rams defense, and the playoff picture hinging on outcomes involving the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, this episode asks the hard questions:

• Is this a coaching issue—or a mindset problem?
• Can early-game urgency be trained and enforced?
• And will Chicago finally start fast when it matters most?

This is a must-listen for Bears fans who want more than hope—they want answers.
