Tool and Fool, Repeat

How bad were the Bears last night against the visiting Vikings? They managed zero first downs in the third quarter to go with a negative two yards of offense. Yes,, the Munsters lost for the fourth straight time, 19-13, to move their record to 5-5 on the season. All I can say is, Look out below! Because 8-8 looks to be impossible, 7-9 a real stretch and 6-10 is knocking on the door. Head coach Matt Nagy, formerly Inspector Gadget, is currently failing in his role as Captain Positive. Matt, if it quacks like a -2-yard duck, it’s a -2-yard duck. Don’t insult everyone’s intelligence pretending otherwise. Nagy tried to get out of the way by having the offensive coordinator call the plays for a change; the Munsters responded by gaining 149 yards on the night. Quarterback Nick Foles was carted off the field with seconds left in the game, courtesy of his non-functioning offensive line. Offensive, indeed. As ever, general manager Ryan Pace reprised his role as the Invisible Man. How ill anyone find Pace when it comes time to tell him he’s fired? Where to go from here? Put up a “For Sale” sign on the franchise, and hope for the best. But we’re talking about the McCaskeys, so that’s not likely. Mayor Richard M. Daley once talked about getting a second NFL franchise for the city. Now, that’s an idea worth revisiting.
