Last Sunday, I thought I was watching a rerun of a Bears game from the Marc Trestman ERA. Instead of Tom Brady’s Patriots, it was Tampa Tom’s Buccaneers. Matt Nagy played the role of Marc Trestman. Nagy should win an Oscar in that performance as the Buccaneers crushed the Bears in Florida, 38-7. The Bears offense once again was a disgrace. The Bears defense never left the plane. The Bears grand scheme of a game plan was horrific. The Bears record is now 3-4 for the season. Some would say the Bears have 10 games left on the schedule. I say put the toe tag on the Bears and call it week 7 when the season is officially over. November 2nd is the trade deadline and Bears need to collect draft picks like kids collecting baseball cards. Once your team plays like a Trestman-run team, there’s no coming back from that.

The Bears upcoming schedule should tell you this team has no chance of making post-season and more embarrassment is on the way. This Sunday, Bears play a talented 49ers team who are desperate for a victory. Then the first week of November on Monday night, they play a great Steeler defense. Just a reminder, the Bears offense is the worst in the entire league. Then Bears get their bye week. They then play the Ravens, one of the top tier teams of the AFC. Then on Thanksgiving, which will be a short week, they might beat the Lions. After that is the second meeting with the Bears owner, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. After that, they play the undefeated Cardinals. Then two games against the Vikings, of which the Bears may be able to win one of those. Since the NFL now plays 17 games a season, Matt Nagy’s regular 8-8 seasons will be obsolete. No way the Bears win 9 games. Would a 9-8 record get the Bears into post-season? Doubt it. Bears would need some team plane crashes for the Bears to get in to the post-season tournament.

The first guy I’d get rid of, if I ran the Chicago Bears, is defensive end Robert Quinn. Robert Quinn played six games so far this season and has racked 5.5 sacks this season. Very Quinn-like, he missed last Sunday after catching Covid. Last year he missed a week that had something to deal with the pandemic. Protesting or something unique. Quinn was MIA on the Bears defense last season even though he played in 15 games. Right now, Quinn’s stock is high as he is worth something. Quinn already has more sacks this season than his two he had last year. I do not care what round the draft pick is for, from another team for Robert Quinn. Trading him, you hope the Bears are not on the hook for the rest of his salary. I would worry that if you do not get some team to take him off your hands, he’ll go back to his 2020 level of play. Then you’re stuck with his services for the remainder of that lengthy contract.

Would Allen Robinson be a good number two receiver for a team who’s going to post-season? Robinson is a number one receiver for the Bears, but for most other teams I think his value is number two. The argument you can throw out there is Robinson has had bad Bears quarterbacks throwing him the football all these years. This is true. I can name so many talented receivers in the league that are better than him. Does Robinson scare defenses? A number one receiver has big games almost every week being covered by the opponent’s best defender. Right now the Bears have Robinson on the franchise tag. Robinson is being paid like a top tier receiver. I don’t see the Bears giving Robinson a contract extension. Plus Robinson has no chemistry with rookie quarterback Justin Fields. Throughout pre-season Robinson was getting all his reps from Andy Dalton. No way the Bears franchise tags Robinson again for the second straight year. Let’s get something for him. I can see Robinson dressing up like a woman to get off this Bears sinking Titanic that hit a Trestman iceberg.

Head coach Matt Nagy is sidelined with Covid this week. Love to see Matt Nagy stay home this Sunday and see what Chris Tabor does running the team. Tabor is the special teams coach for the Bears, a guy who has high energy. A different voice could help the Bears not get down to that Trestman game level. I should say Matt Nagy level. Even if the Bears play better, no way they will make the playoffs with that offensive line they have assembled. The dream would be to clean house in Chicago. Get rid of Matt Nagy and General Manager Ryan Pace. The Bears should have done that after the playoff game versus New Orleans, last season. Do you trust GM Ryan Pace getting rid of a few players to get draft picks?

The Bears have some players they can build around on both sides of the ball. On offense, the team hopes Justin Fields is the answer at the quarterback position of years to come. If Fields can survive this season. Darnell Mooney in his second year as a receiver, looks like a keeper. A pair of running backs in David Montgomery and now rookie Khalil Herbert should be kept. On defense, Roquan Smith is the new Wilbur Marshall, a linebacker that crushes people. Khalil Mack is obvious, but he costs you a lot of money. I would keep Jaylon Johnson who is emerging as a shut down corner back. Anyone else can be traded in a Bears midnight madness sale. Make it an early Black Friday sellathon. Build up draft capital so we can fix the offensive line and add some weapons for Justin Fields. Shedding salary, the Bears can add free agents in the off-season. Thought we buried the Mark Trestman ERA for good years ago. Bears ownership is like a stupid dog who keeps digging it up like a lost bone.
