1. The #Bears made the playoffs. This is good. The problem is they did it with the exact same record as last year.
If not for a fortuitous NFL rule change, they’re sitting at home this week.
Is this team actually better? No evidence suggests this.

2. Mitch Trubisky now has 5 INTs in 3 games against top 15 defenses this year.
People can try to sugarcoat it all they want.
He’s an average quarterback. If feasting on bad teams is enough for you? He’s your guy.
Honestly, the #Bears should have higher standards.

3. Matt Nagy is 1-5 against the Green Bay Packers.
He’s 6-15 against opponents with winning records.
His offense has failed to crack the top 20 for the third-straight year.
Nothing about this team has gotten *better* under his watch. #Bears

4. Leonard Floyd has 10 sacks this season. So one can at least say Ryan Pace was right when drafting him in 2016.
However, this merely proves the GM has done a crap job putting the right people in place to get the most from his players. #Bears

5. If people need a reminder why Pace needs to go, just re-watch the Packers game.
It was Trubisky vs. Aaron Rodgers again. It was no contest again.
It could’ve been Patrick Mahomes vs. Aaron Rodgers.
Yes, it’s one mistake, but a mistake that will haunt the #Bears for years.

6. Ted Phillips has been team president since 1999. A span of 21 years. The #Bears have 7 winning seasons in that span.
Seven.
The hilarious part? They keep him around because he makes them money.
If they won more, they’d be even richer than they are right now.

7. The #Bears have over $117 million sunk into their defense next year. Most in the NFL. It allowed 23.12 points per game this season. Worst since 2016. That defense was paid $59 million.
It might be time to consider clearing some payroll.

8. The New Orleans Saints beat the #Bears at Soldier Field in 2019 without Alvin Kamara.
They beat them at Soldier Field this season without Michael Thomas. Now they’ll likely have both down in the Superdome.
That’ll be fun.

9. The 2020 #Bears draft class turned out to be an overachiever.
Jaylon Johnson - 15 passes defensed
Cole Kmet - 28 catches, 243 yards, 2 TDs
Darnell Mooney - 61 catches, 641 yards, 4 TDs
Lot of promise in that group.

10. The #Bears schedule next season will feature the following.
Home: AZ, SF, BAL, CIN, NYG, GB, MIN, DET
Away: LA, SEA, PIT, CLE, TB, GB, MIN, DET
Maybe they should postpone drafting a quarterback until 2022 after all...
