Literally our Achilles heel

The Bears did a play on a pivotal 3rd and short from inside the Colts 10 and it looked like us with DeAndre Swift running sideways and backwards trying to make something happen and they lost 6 yards.  I hate having anxiety in these situations..  have to convert. We targeted this in the offseason I feel like, and it is worse than recent years for no apparent reason. Comes with the offense struggling in general though. ALL offenses are mediocre this year, it just depends on when you turn it on as to whether you win or lose. In this situation it really stinks though because it baits teams that want to be aggressive (like us) into going for it on fourth down and not converting which in some cases takes points off the board, or gives the other team great field position.
