Clueless

Is there a more fitting description for yesterday’s performance by the Munsters of the Midway, a 38-3 blowout at the hands of Tom Brady and the Buccaneers? I mean, without going blue? Rookie quarterback Justin Fields committed five turnovers, two fumbles (not counting the third, which he recovered) to go with three interceptions. The fumbles concern me more. The way defenders are able to knock the ball away I worry Fields doesn’t have the right-sized hands for the job. I know that head coach Matt Nagy doesn’t have the smarts for his. “We lost, and we’ve got to learn from it,” Nagy told reporters after the game/debacle (quote from today’s story in The Athletic by Adam Jahns). Keep in mind that going into Sunday, Nagy’s Munsters had lost games by scores of 34-14; 26-6; and 24-14. Add those onto yesterday, and this team should be a bunch of friggin’ Ph.D.’s on the gridiron. I won’t go blue. Somewhere, my father the genuine South Sider is smiling; his old team the Cardinals have a league-best 7-0 record. And his son appears to have been wrong about Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray being better suited for a career in baseball. Live and learn, Dad. Right, Coach?
