Do NFL gambling sites give Chicago really long odds this season? Does a Bear crap in the woods? Actually, there is a little known Aesop fable about a Bear and a Fox meeting in the forest. Yaddy yaddy yadda, the Bear gets fed up with the Fox and eviscerates him. Kinda like the Chicago Bears getting fed up with and firing coach John Fox following a 14-34 three-season period.
The Bears brass would now like to implement Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs offense. So they went and got themselves the next best thing to coach Reid. And that is new head coach Matt Nagy. He has served under Reid with the Chiefs as well as the Eagles in different capacities. First as coaching intern. Second, as coaches’ assistant. Third, as offensive quality control coach. Fourth, as QB coach. And fifth, as offensive coordinator. He’s a jack of all trades, but will he be a master of this one?

Nagy didn’t come to Chicago alone. He brought with him two QBs he met in KC. Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray. They were brought in to be Mitchell Trubisky’s roomies in the quarterbacks room. Make no mistake, though. As once and future starter, Trubisky will be the one paying the bills. Daniel and Bray will just be freeloading and mooching off Trubisky. They will be, barring any unforeseen even, the George and Kramer to his Jerry. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. However, seems like their wacky hijinks won’t be getting rave reviews from NFL gambling sites.
