Rot

Rot

This would be a good time, dear Bears’ fans, to remember the adage—a fish rots from the head down.  In other words, don’t blame the tail for stinking.

Don’t blame quarterback Mitch Trubisky for last night’s 26-3 embarrassment before the faithful at Soldier Field against the visiting Chiefs.  Oh, Trubisky was thoroughly outplayed by Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback the Munsters could and should have drafted instead of Trubisky.  Yes, Trubisky went 18 for 34, totaling 157 yards and 0 touchdowns vs. 23 for 33, 251 yards and two touchdowns for Mahomes.  But remember, Trubisky didn’t put a gun to anyone’s head and demand, Draft me, in 2017.

And don’t blame coach Matt Nagy, even though he’s spent this season showing he couldn’t call a cab let alone decent plays for his quarterback.  Nagy was given, or saddled, with Trubisky the day he came to town to replace John Fox.

And don’t blame Bears’ GM Ryan Pace.  No, check that.  Do blame Pace, but remember he didn’t put a gun to anyone’s head up at Halas Hall and demand, Hire me, in place of Phil Emery.

So, who does that leave?  How do you say “the McCaskeys”?
