Okay, I’ve been meaning to write this for a couple weeks. I’ve just had so little motivation. It’s time to get some of that back.
After that PATHETIC excuse of a press conference on the morning of New Year’s Eve, the Bears (after basically saying no changes were being made) announced that they relieved four assistants of their duties (offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand (by cracky), tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride and assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo).
Since the Bears enjoy keeping the assistants that in witness protection programs all season, I am already going to assume (and with good reason) that these assistants had absolutely no bearing on whether the team won or lost games this past season.
This is classic Chicago Bears. It’s upper management lying to us. It’s the owner literally saying after the press conference that he has 100% confidence in Pace and Nagy. It’s Pace and Nagy saying that they will get shit corrected. WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT MEANS.
We heard it with Lovie Smith. We heard it with Marc Trestman. “We have to look at the tape and grow from our mistakes.” FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
When is there going to be accountability? When are the inmates going to stop running the asylum? When is the owner of a professional football team going to say that this shit won’t be tolerated? George McCaskey seriously has no clue what he’s doing. Trust me, this is not me saying he isn’t trying to win. I am sure he wants his team to win. But he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing. He’s being scammed by two masterminds in Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy. This guy is blind as a bat.
If George had some kind of fucking knowledge, he either wouldn’t have hired Pace in the first place or would have fired him the second he hired Nagy. I SAW THIS COMING A MILE AWAY. Just look at Matt Nagy’s last game as offensive coordinator right before Pace hired him. A 21-3 lead at halftime and it’s blown because he didn’t run the ball. The Chiefs lost that game due to Matt Nagy’s ineptitude. And now, look at the Chiefs for the second year in a row being one win away from getting to the Super Bowl. Whether they win or lose on Sunday doesn’t matter. It’s the fact that they are that close for the second year in a row after getting rid of that fraud, Nagy. It’s not a coincidence. And don’t get me started on last season’s season opener where they blow a 20-0 lead against the Packers and blow a two-touchdown lead weeks later against the Dolphins.
So, here we go again. Another year of this bullshit. Ryan Pace is going on his sixth season as the general manager and nothing to show for it. I was saying from the start that they should draft DeShaun Watson. What does he do? He trades away two or three picks just to move up one spot to get someone no one else was certain of. Mitchell Trubisky is getting his criticism and maybe deservedly so. But let’s not forget this very important fact: He has been put into a position to fail and fail miserably by his head coach. We will never find out what he can do with an actual head coach. Maybe if he goes to another team with an actual head coach, then we could find out. But until then, this is what we are dealing with as fans. Ryan Pace trades those picks to get him and he’s stuck with it.
By the way, the team that ripped him off that year in that deal? The 49ers with first-time general manager John Lynch. How are they doing? Oh, they are only one win away from the Super Bowl.
Fuck. This. Team.
