Send in the Clowns

The Bears are now 4-10 on the season after losing last night 17-9 to the Vikings at home. That puts them in Abe Gibron territory. And, just like those very bad Gibron teams, this one played good defense, with Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins sacked four times; Cousins netted a mere 87 yards on twelve completions. There’s some of the suffering you say Jesus promises, Kirk. But these are the Bears, who went out and hired Matt Nagy as an offensive guru, and what did the guru accomplish last night? At the 59:59 point of the game, three points, that’s what. That literal last-second touchdown the Munsters managed didn’t even rate an extra-point attempt. Gibron was fired forty-seven years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same. If and when Nagy gets let go, the deed will be done by the same family that thought hiring Abe Gibron made sense. That’s how circus people think, I guess.
