1. Ryan Pace’s tenure as #Bears GM pretty much died on a Mitch Trubisky strip-sack. It doesn’t get much more poetic than that.
2. Calling back-to-back pass plays deep in your own territory with a turnover-prone QB while your RB is having a great game.
Say this for Matt Nagy. He went down staying 100% on brand. #Bears

3. Allen Robinson needs 96 yards in four games to crack 1,000 for the second-straight year. He’s the best offensive player this regime ever acquired.
It’s horribly fitting he’ll likely leave at the same time as them. #Bears

4. Cole Kmet and Darnell Mooney combined for 80 yards and a TD on Sunday. Jaylon Johnson had another pass deflection.
The 2020 draft class is a nice parting gift from Pace. #Bears

5. Akiem Hicks and Robert Quinn are being paid a combined $30.4 million this year. They have zero combined sacks since Week 4. #Bears
6. Eddie Jackson is 22 days away from going a full calendar year without recording an interception.
Chuck Pagano found a way to neuter the best coverage safety in the NFL. #Bears

7. The #Bears scored 30+ points four times in their first nine games under Matt Nagy.
They’ve done it four times in 36 games since.

8. This year may be the biggest collapse in #Bears history. Starting 5-1 and now sitting at 5-7.
Only the 1989 team comes close. They started 4-0 and finished 6-10.

9. Ted Phillips first gained power in the #Bears organization in 1993.
They’ve made the playoffs six times since that fateful climb up the ladder began.

10. Who should be the next GM? Maybe the #Bears opt for a familiar face this time after passing on Chris Ballard for Pace.
George Paton (Vikings assistant GM) and Dwayne Joseph (Raiders director of pro personnel) both have ties to the organization.

11. One thing the #Bears should do with the head coaching search this time? Not rush it. Don’t fear waiting it out.
Kyle Shanahan wasn’t hired until February 6th. Frank Reich until February 11th. Nagy was hired on January 8th for context. There is no prize for finishing first.

12. The #Bears job has been described as "mediocre" in terms of allure because they have no quarterback.
Here's the thing though. Only 32 of these jobs exist on the planet.
Plenty of qualified candidates will want it. Finding which one deserves it? That's the hard part.
