Rhyme Time

Bears’ head coach Matt Nagy is a tool and GM Ryan Pace is a fool for hiring him. If only something rhymed with “McCaskey.” The Bears dropped to 5-3 after their 26-23 loss in overtime to the Saints at a (thankfully, mercifully) empty Soldier Field yesterday afternoon. The NFL should take pity on this legacy franchise and award it points for being so willing to spot the other team an entire quarter. The Bears’ offense doesn’t show up for the third quarter, allowing the opposition as many points as it can score on the defense. And, you know what, I think it’s time we attach the “o” word to middle linebacker Khalil Mack, as in “overrated.” If Mack is carrying this defense, then it must stink beyond belief. Blame that on the general manager. As for Inspector Gadget, he’s totally out of his depth trying to find ways to blast, not holes, but canyons for his mediocre-at-best running backs to stumble through. But Gadget didn’t draft those running backs any more than he built an offensive line that all falls down a second or two after the snap. That, too, falls on Pace. Nagy reminds me of ex-coach Dave Wannstedt, always positive to a fault, until he burned out. Say what you will about Wannstedt, but he never pretended he could rock a visor. Somebody should tell Nagy. And, while they’re at it, somebody should inform the scions of the Halas legacy 5-11 isn’t that hard to imagine come January 3rd. Happy New Year.
