Dead Bears Walking

What you saw late yesterday afternoon into early evening, ladies and gentlemen, was the Chicago Bears soiling themselves yet again against nemeses Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to the tune of 35-16. The Munsters actually lost by fewer points up in Green Bay back in November. Remember when you all thought it couldn’t get much worse than that 41-25 debackle? Well, keep Sunday’s result in mind, and get ready for Drew Brees and the Saints on Sunday. This is all you need to know about quarterback Mitch Trubisky: He threw four absolutely perfect strikes, to members of the Green Bay secondary, though only one went for an interception. I mean on-the-numbers’ perfect. This reminds me of the old saying that defensive backs are just wide receivers with bad hands. Anyway, you’re not going to win with a quarterback who throws four interception-worthy passes every game, which is pretty much what Trubisky does. You want to know the difference between our quarterback and their quarterback? The Bears were just two seconds short of controlling the ball eleven minutes longer than the Packers had it. Some bad guys don’t need to show their badges. Aaron Rodgers doesn’t need much time to show how bad he can make the Bears look. Captain Visor was already talking in today’s Sun-Times about how he thinks the Munsters’ defense is “going to be excited to be able to get an opportunity to play the Saints again.” Oh, give me a break. If Khalil Mack and company are excited, what does that make Drew Brees, over the moon? By the way, that vaunted Bears’ defense managed to sack Rodgers once. Yeah, I’d say “over the moon” is pretty much how the Saints are feeling right about now. I say let everyone keep their jobs, provided the Munsters upset the Saints and the team that would be next. Yup, Green Bay. Anything short of two more wins, and it’s time for the McCaskeys to clean house, if they know how. Maybe Brees can drop 40-plus points on their legacy franchise. That might motivate the clan to roll up their collective sleeves and get to serious work, for a change. Or not.
