How do the Bears stink? Let me count the ways

Thursday night brought another display of nauseating ineptitude known as Bears football. Every time Mike Glennon starts a game, I lose more respect for Ryan Pace's football sense. The Bears have three former quarterbacks starting in the NFL now. They are Jay Cutler, Josh McCown and Brian Hoyer. None of those would be confused with a good NFL quarterback, but all are better than Mike Glennon. To think the Bears paid 18 million for this level of crud is staggering.

The QB comparison

The final score was 35-14 Packers over the Bears. It was even uglier than that. Mike Glennon matched Aaron Rodgers turnover for touchdown. Glennon had four turnovers while Aaron Rodgers had four touchdown passes. That's a microcosm of where the Packers and Bears are at. It's time to find out if Mitch Trubisky is ready or not. If Trubisky doesn't show anything it's time for Ryan Pace to be shown the gate. Even if Trubisky is good, Pace might need to go.

Why?  Just why?

A lot has been made of the garbage that is the Bears disgusting receivers corps. That raises the question of why the Bears let Alshon Jeffery go. Another boneheaded decision by Pace.

The Bears could have a good ground game, but Glennon's lack of skill negates that to a large extent. The other teams stack the box and the good Bears running backs have their work cut out for them.

And on defense

Look for Bears linebacker, Danny Trevathan, to be suspended after a horrific hit on Packers receiver, DaVante Adams. Travathan gave Adams a helmet to helmet hit that resulted in Adams being carted off the field. Lots of opinions about whether the hit was a cheap shot or not. For my money, is was. I think it was a cheap shot born out of frustration.

Glennon making Fox look like Trestman

I think the Bears are tired of ineptitude of teammates, coaching, the front office and ownership. If Glennon gets the next start, look for the Bears to go into Trestmanesque disarray.

And lost in the Glennon debacle 

By the way, the Bears are even worse at getting turnovers than they were last year. As of now, the Bears have 0 interceptions. For years the Bears have had problems with quarterbacking, wide receivers and defensive takeaways. 

John Fox is as good at interviews as he is in coaching

I thought John Fox was a good hire as head coach. I was wrong. The Bears should have cut Fox lose and keep Adam Gase. I'm trying to decide which is more painful, watching the Bears or listening to John Fox. 

More next time.
