Would you be OK with the Bears making the playoffs if it meant that general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy kept their jobs? I didn’t think so.
And, yet, were some of you cheering the Bears’ 36-7 victory over the sorely depleted Texans on Sunday? I’ll pretend I didn’t see that.
For the perceptive Bears fan, the concern coming out of the game is that the McCaskeys are letting out a collective sigh of relief that could blow into the offseason.
The family is usually loath to make changes, change being the work of the devil and/or sportswriters, so the worry among the faithful is that ownership will look at Sunday’s game and declare Pace, Nagy and possibly even quarterback Mitch Trubisky worth keeping.
