Nope

Nope And here I was ready to forgive Justin Fields for the two delay-of-game penalties. Nope. This dog of a Bears’ team won’t hunt. Tear it all down, better yet, with an owner not named McCaskey swinging the sledgehammer. The Munsters had a 26-14 lead with 4:15 left in the game, only to go into hibernation. Where was the recently-signed-to-a-big-deal defensive end Montez Sweat as Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff marched his team down the field for two incredibly easy scores? Where was cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who wants to sign a Sweat-sized deal because he’s so good, as Goff completed pass after pass? To borrow a line from Bulls’ analyst Stacey Kind, big-time players make big-time plays. The Bears managed to take the ball away four times, including three interceptions. Off of that, they managed all of three points. Where was Fields? With the Munsters up by five with just under three minutes to go, Fields twice handed off the ball to Khalil Herbert, who managed all of one yard. The first play came courtesy of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. The second time, Fields made the decision after looking at the defensive setup. Nope. Head coach Matt Eberflus said Fields made the right read. Nope, nope. With twenty-nine seconds left in the game and his team in need of a miracle, Fields was strip-sacked for a safety. That secured a first-ever in NFL annals. No team since 1932 had ever controlled the ball for forty-plus minutes and had three-plus takeaway and lost. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2023 Chicago Bears. Eberflus now has a 6-23 coaching record. Fields is 6-26 in his starts dating to 2021. Add it all up. Nope, don’t.
