Welcome again. I am your host, Fro Dog. Welcome to a game we play about once a year here at Fire Ryan Pace-Fire Matt Nagy. Welcome to HOW WILL THE BEARS LOSE THIS SUNDAY?

Okay, as well know, Matt Nagy puts his players in positions to fail 99% of the time. Whether it’s making Trubisky throw on first and goal only to have it being intercepted in triple-coverage or not running the ball with plenty of time left to try to get a shorter field goal, it’s all possible! Many possibilities and many possible answers!

Well, folks, it’s time to play. So, contestants, let’s see what our options are!

This Sunday, Bears vs. Lions on the lakefront at noon. How will our Bears lose this game? Here are your options:

• Matthew Stafford sets up his I-Pass and shreds the Bears defense for a blowout?
• Trubisky has a terrible game with interceptions, many incompletions and overthrows?
• Matt Nagy decides to just kneel with plenty of time left instead of trying to get closer into field goal range at the end of the game resulting in a missed kick?
• The secondary fucks up by allowing a huge play in a close game to lose?
• Or, a choice many fans have made, the Bears blow another two-touchdown lead?

Many other options are there. Feel free to add your own predictions in the thread. The person making a prediction as close as can be to the outcome wins absolutely no prize other than having their comment featured on this website during the recap! I call that a great deal!

Good luck to all of you! And remember, every new day is one day closer to Matt Nagy finally being fired!

Matt Nagy: “I’m not an idiot.”

(Tells Ryan Pace to trade Jordan Howard because he “doesn’t fit his system.”)

(*Watches Jordan Howard run down their throats in the same exact “system.”)

What else did we learn?

This team is undisciplined and commits penalties that cost them games. This team is coached by a bunch of hacks.

If anybody wants to check the archives at this site, feel free. I hate being right. But everything that is happening this season is something I (as well as others) predicted. No logical fan should be surprised by this. Matt Nagy is a fraud and even though it was shown last year, it’s being more exposed now. We can blame Trubisky until we’re blue in the face and rightfully so. But when the fraud puts him in a position to fail, it doesn’t help things.

The Bears aren’t coming back to win this game and they aren’t going to win very many the last half of the season. Seriously. When I am writing recaps before the games even end, you know it’s bad.

So, what is Curious George going to do? Is he going to smarten up and fire both Pace and Nagy? Or is he just going to do nothing until the end of the season when he tells the media that his mom is “pissed” and that they vow to be better next year?

I’m fucking exhausted. This team has made me tired. They are killing my desire to enjoy anything about this game.

One last thing: Fuck Dick Stockton. He’s The Original Kiss of Death To Chicago Sports. It’s only appropriate that he has now called two of the losses this year. Very rarely does he call a game that involves a Chicago team winning.

Forget all that happened today in this game that was good and bad UNTIL the last drive of the game.

Trubisky leads them down. 48 seconds or whatever left. First down.

Why take a knee? Why not get more yards and in the middle of the field rather than at an angle for a field goal?

Instead, Nagy waves the white flag and as expected, Piniero misses it (his second on the day).

My stomach turned. We saw this way too many times with Lovie Smith. The place smells like garbage.

MATT. NAGY. IS. AN. IDIOT.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001068273/article/matt-nagy-on-need-to-run-the-ball-more-im-not-an-idiot

First half of the game; two different drives

2nd and 2: Pass for an incompletion. Next play, pass for an incompletion. Punt.

Later in the half: 2nd and 2 (again) for an incompletion. Next play, pass for an incompletion. Punt.

Does someone who’s not an idiot pass the ball on a 2nd and short and likewise for the next play?

“I’m not an idiot.”

YES. YOU. ARE.

2nd and 2? PASS FOR INCOMPLETE. 3rd and 2? PASS FOR INCOMPLETE?

That happened on two different drives in the first half for the Bears.

JUST. RUN. THE. BALL.

Prince Amukafuckwad gave up a deep ball to the Saints at the start of the third quarter. So much for the “great” defense. They couldn’t stop a nosebleed and if it weren’t for two missed field goals, the Bears would be down three touchdowns.

Matt Nagy is a fucking fraud. I don’t know why myself and a few others are the only ones who see this? Fuck.

It’s time for George McCaskey to wake up from his wet dream and can Ted Phillips, Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy. Bring in a general manager who actually knows how to draft players and develop them. Bring in a head coach who has the common sense to call for a run play on 2nd and 2 rather than pass it all the time resulting in a punt.

I’m fucking sick of this shit. Barring any miracle after this posting, the Bears will be 3-3. With how many teams are in front of them for the Wild Card spots, there is no fucking way they are going 8-2. I already said 11 wins will be needed to get in. It’s looking a lot more like that’s what it will take after this week.

Fuck this.

Well, the bye week has come and gone. The Bears didn’t get much help from teams they needed to lose. I am typing this after the Packers beat the Lions. It appears that barring an unforeseen collapse, the Packers have the division. That leaves the Wild Card as the only way in.

The Bears did this to themselves. They lost to the Raiders in which they didn’t show up for the first half nor in the last few minutes. They had no chance on Opening Night against the Packers. And they aren’t getting much help from other teams either. At 3-2 and a stacked conference, 11 wins is probably going to be needed to come in.

I can just think of seven years ago when the Bears finished 10-6 and missed the playoffs. There were at least two games that they completely shit themselves in.

I highly doubt the Bears can do this due to their piss-poor excuse of a head coach and defense that always seems to falter in crucial moments of games (last few minutes of losses the last two seasons?).

Your thoughts in the thread.

Remember last year in Miami? See a pattern here?

I’m tired of it. I’m tired of the defense showing that they can’t stop a nosebleed against any team that’s considered “decent.” For crying out loud, they almost blew a 28-0 lead against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

I’m tired of the stupid penalties that give other teams chances to win the game. I’m tired of Matt Nagy getting rid of actually good players that can help them win games (Jordan Howard). I’m tired of watching shitty quarterbacks.

No excuses. As far as that running into the kicker penalty, which was a shitty call, fine. But that defense had 70 yards to defend after that and they didn’t get the job done.

Even after all of that, the Bears were right there in a position to win and they didn’t come through. And here we are again praying for teams in the division to lose their games in order for this team to have a chance at the playoffs. It’s no longer “early.” It’s time to win now and this team isn’t doing it.

Bye week is next. The Saints are up in two weeks. Lord help us all.

Boring? Maybe? Frustrating? Yes. Annoying? Indeed. That’s how I felt during this game. The Bears were given every chance to stomp all over the Vikings and yet, it was no more than a two-possession game. How did the Bears not score at least ten more points? I am not going to be confident about this team until they play four full quarters of a game without any stupid decision-making.

Mitch Trubisky – Awful injury. As soon as I saw the replay, it looked like a broken collarbone. That’s at least six weeks off. At least. Chase Daniel stepped in and did a really great job. He’s going to need to step up.

Matt Nagy – How stupid is this guy? How many fucking times do I have to watch Cordarelle Patterson take a snap and run for one or no yards? It’s 3rd and 2. GIVE IT TO A RUNNING BACK YOU STUPID FUCK. Yeah, I’ll blame Nagy for leaving points off the field. Like last week, this game should have been a blowout.

Running game – Non-existent. The PATHETIC excuse of a head coach is to blame for that.

Defense – Two turnovers and a ton of sacks. Great. Again, too bad the offense made that go to waste for most of the game. But what still frustrates me is the way they give up a ton of yards and points when another team is in a hurry-up offense. We saw that late in this game. It needs to stop.

Eddie Jackson – Okay, the Bears got the ball back on this drive I’m going to talk about. But they could have had much better field position after the Vikings were stopped deep in their own territory. Jackson pushes a player in the end zone after a dust up with other players and instead of a 4th and long, it’s a fresh set of downs for the Vikings. Undisciplined. Stupid.

The Bears are now tied for first place with the Packers (Packers hold the tiebreaker as of now) with a record of 3-1. The Raiders are up next in London.

Stat time (cue Yeti): 15 carries – 87 yards – two rushing touchdowns; three catches for 28 yards and a receiving touchdown

I thought he was on his way to a fourth late in the game as well.

The more success Jordan Howard has with the Eagles, the more Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy show that they are the biggest frauds in football.

Fuck both of these guys.

How does this defense get five turnovers and yet, still nearly blow it? How does the offense basically get spotted a 28-0 lead and blow it? How does Matt Nagy on first and goal call for a pass play that appropriately gets intercepted at the goal line?

We’ve seen this before. Shades of last year against the Dolphins? Why pass when the ball can be easily ran?

It’s because Matt Nagy is a sad excuse for a professional football coach. We’ve seen this before. Shades of last year against the Packers in Green Bay? 28-0 lead and before you know it, the Redskins are marching down to get within one score. Thankfully, Case Keenum tried to jump for the first down only to have the ball knocked out of his hands.

Penalties. Bad play-calling. We saw it all.

The defense? Again, great for five turnovers. But fuck. What’s with giving up big plays on drives late in halves for points? We saw it in Green Bay last year and in the playoffs. We even saw it last week when they blew a ten-point lead in the second half. Only a miracle in the final seconds saved that. And we saw it tonight before halftime.

It’s time for Matt Nagy and his playbook of trickery to take a hike. It’s time to bring in someone who actually knows how to give the ball to a running back instead of CORDARELLE FUCKING PATTERSON. HE’S NOT A FUCKING RUNNING BACK.

What else am I missing? I don’t know fucking know. Sure, if someone told me the Bears were going to win this game 31-15 without even watching it, I’d be happy. But damn. This is really painful to watch and will be all season. This is a very bad offense and the defense is very bad when the game is on the line. The offense is to blame for most of it.

The Bears play the Vikings next Sunday at home. The injuries are piling up. I need to go buy some Pepto Bismol.
