You could pick any number of 5-6 candidates and be perfectly reasonable in doing so. NO ONE on offense played well. I think we all expected to lose today but the D played well enough through 3 quarters or so to have a legit shot to win. As has been the case for most of the Nagy-era, the offense was inept and squandered the opportunities the defense gave it. We scored 3 points before garbage time which is pathetic.
A) Nagy should be fired but he won't be. Bears only chance to win today was by taking risks. Playing conservatively has no chance when you are as overmatched as we were. After Wims dropped the TD, Nagy completely turtle'd up and pissed away any chance the Bears had to win today. He never again took an EZ shot, he consistently (Trubisky gets blame here too) ran 4 yard passes on 3rd and 8, and right before halftime, when the Bears had a chance to score twice on 2 straight possessions, Nagy managed to run out the clock on 3 runs with 3 timeouts in hand.
He coached like a coward and he deserves to be fired for running the O into the ground since late 2018. No, "making the playoffs" shouldn't save him but it will.
B) Miller and Wims should be released TOMORROW to send a clear signal of accountability. Neither are any good and both clearly have dumbshit disease. Wims was just a 7th round pick so no biggie but Miller is yet another one of Ryan Pace's awful draft busts on offense. We spent a 2nd and a 4th on this clown. He has $1,000,000 talent but a 10 cent brain.
Release both of them immediately.
C) If anyone still harbors any desire to see Mitch Trubisky in a Bears uniform again, I suggest you get professional help and go on medication immediately. He's simply bad and we need to stop making excuses for him being bad just like we all finally stopped making excuses for Jay Cutler. It doesn't matter that "Foles is worse" or "he's showed improvement late in the year" or whatever. Just STOP IT. He's a bad QB who is only capable of beating bad teams and there's no zero reason to pay him another nickel. I'm so fed up of stat lines like his:
18 for 33, 193 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
That's typical Mitch and I'm done. Draft a QB this year round 1-2 and draft another one in 2022. Foles is the bridge for 2021 (hold your nose and accept it) and next season is a TANK YEAR. Barring a miracle, we are going 5-11 in 2021.
Be interesting to see what the McCs do here coming up soon. I'm in favor of blowing it up and rebuilding because I see no hope of being truly competitive before 2023 at the earliest at this point.
My vote goes to "Other." We can point fingers at Mitch, we can point fingers at Nagy, we can point fingers at Lazor, and we can blame the D who got picked apart in the 2nd half. BUT, at the end of day, while we can point fingers at any of these people, there is one person responsible for these people being here in the first place, and that is Ryan Pace. This are Pace's players, these are Pace's coaches. This is a sorry excuse of a team for a GM who's had more than ample time to build a quality product. Pace wanted Mitch. Pace brought in Foles. Pace hired Nagy and Lazor. Pace traded for Mack. All the Bears have is an aging Defense that was great 3 years ago but now is just above average. There are a few bright spots (Allen Robinson, David Montgomery, Kyle Fuller, and a few others), but this is a team that has zero signs of being able to compete next year. Pace's selling point was his abilty to spot collegiate talent and we were promised that the draft picks under Pace would quickly build this team into a yearly contender. That hasn't happned. He's had some good picks, but mostly they've been busts. This is all Ryan Pace's fault. The last two GM's have killed this franchise, and it's time to blow it all up, again. If Ryan Pace is still calling the shots come next draft, every Bears fan should boycott and not spend a penny on this franshise. In my mind, the Bengals are the only franchise worse than the Bears as of right now.
I am pretty confident in saying that any idiot could pick up Andy Reid's playbook, pick a play at random, and still call a better game than this abomination today. Running it when we should be passing (right before half, again down 3 TDs w/ about 8 mins left), passing when we should be...no, that never happened...Patterson in as RB in time to get stopped on 3rd and short, there was a lot going on. I have an opening on my 8th grade football team for a playcaller next year. Nagy is not qualified.
Any of ya'll want to come help run an offense, you're welcome to! LOL

What the Bears have assembled is a team that can beat bad teams. In 2018, it was a wrecking ball on defense with confidence, swagger, and dare I say, moxie. It's been two years since the window opened and quickly shut for the Bears.
And it all because we let Brad Sowell go. Hear me out. The Sowell package... Haha, I'm never gonna let this go you guys know right?

Ryan Pace's greatest mistake here was his failure to franchise tag Sowell when he had the opportunity. I think the best move Pace can make in the off-season is to somehow, someway, sign the "Big 3" - Bradley Sowell, Harvey Unga & the pride of the Hamilton Tiger Cats, Air Currie.

We will be unstoppable.
Don't forget Tyler Clutts
Good point, how could I forget Clutts. We gotta find where he's at now and sign him too. Undrafted out of Fresno State and later with the Sacramento Mountain Lions.
One thing we do know. If we sign these 4 guys we will 100% DOMINATE teams in the Pre-Season games in 2021.
That drop by Wims, I think I yelled. Very sexy play call and execution until ... whatever that was. Very unfortunate.
I was surprised by how long you guys stayed in the game, to be honest. If only the offense could have done SOMETHING. ANYTHING. Reminds me of our Vikings a couple of years ago when we had a good defense and our offense sucked. Now we completely flipped!
