Who

Ryan Poles, Matt Eberflus. Ryan Pace, Matt Nagy. Meet the new boss(es), same as the old boss(es). The Munsters got blown out 41-10 by the Lions in Detroit yesterday, leaving them with a 3-13 record, second-worst in franchise history. Quarterback Justin Fields, the only bright spot on an otherwise talent-barren roster, traces back to ex-GM Pace. New GM Poles can’t point to one player of talent he’s added, though he does act a lot like Pace in dodging the media. Eberflus? More and more, a variation on Nagy. I know, I know, the Lions stunk last year (3-13-1), and look at them now, 8-8 with a shot at the playoffs. But at least the ownership DNA in Detroit traces back to a man who perfected mass production of the automobile. And the Bears trace back to a man who, in forty-six years as a head coach, pretty much treated the forward pass as the devil’s work. Beware who you welcome as a new neighbor, Arlington Heights, beware.
