Same old Bears. Same Bears coach.

I think it was Trubisky more than Nagy. He just kept checking down to the RBs or running for 2 yards instead of looking for the open guys downfield. I doubt those were the designed reads on those plays.
On that 3rd and 1 when they settled for the FG, Cohen had a fat LB on him that he dusted into the corner of the endzone and Trubisky saw it, but had no interest in throwing the ball more than 1 yard beyond the LoS. GB could have lined all 11 guys up across the first down line and Nagy could have called all go routes and Trubisky would never have seen the guys running free behind the defense.

Just incredible. I couldn’t believe it when I saw they FG kicker run out there. Maybe if John Fox or Lovie Smith or some other guy stuck in the 70s was the coach but not that guy.

So frustrating why not blitz every play, bring 5 , guy cant move anf and you know he will cut you up with time. Ugh.
Bears defense gave up 400 yards, and lost. They could have done that pretty easily without trading for and paying Mack...

Why? Mack had a MONSTER game - strip sack / DFR, and a pick 6.
With a boatload of pressures and fumbles & knocked Rodgers out for a half.
he watched a generational talent who single handedly took over a half of football, who won’t be playing for the Raiders on MNF.
Because the Bears lost, sure, Chucky gets a slightly higher pick. Maybe a good player. Maybe a great one.
But nothing they pick in 2019 or 2020 gives him what he lost in Mack.
Not to mention a 2nd and a 5th going back to Chicago.

King, Jackson and Alexander have all made some plays in coverage. I think all 3 of them are good players and they looked it tonight,
Mitch also did not play very well and receivers were not getting open enough for him.

So just to be clear, how much time is too much time to leave on the clock for Trubisky?
I agree, seems to me they should have dumped the ball off short to Cohen a couple of more times.....maybe throughout the entire game, not just the the first quarter. Howard looked great but when you have a player like Cohen got to get in his hands a few more times.

We’re gonna love this new guy Nagy in the NFC North.

I get that Rodgers played well being clearly injured, but the Bears going into the 4 Corners offense most the 2nd half gave the Pack a chance. Playing not to lose usually doesn’t work.

“open” in the NFL is a small window and Mitch didn’t look like he (yet?) has the touch or confidence to hit those “NFL open” guys.

And Chucky smiling because why? He gave up the guy that was a beast tonight and the reason Chicago was even in that game.

I agree. Some players were getting open, but Mitch couldn't find them.
I dunno its weird. Mitch looked very good at the beginning of the game running scripted plays that they have likely practiced a ton recently. But then just seemed to go into a shell and not willing to push the ball downfield. Too afraid of turning the ball over I guess.

Now if only the back up had not yacked the ball up to forfeit a sure field goal and had not served up a T.D. to Mack. No matter. Hell, even Matthews stupid play does not matter now.

I understand the post game impulse to post this, but the Bears are absolutely legit. They have a young QB, a slew of pieces learning to play together, a first time head coach, and they were playing a 1st ballot Hall of Famer on the road...and barely lost. Yes, to lose in the way the Bears fell is heartwrentching, but this Chicago Bears team is not the same old, same old.
Ecstatic to pull out that victory, but the Bears have the look of a very good team to me.

I tried telling everyone at halftime that it was all just a ploy by Rodgers to create some drama and build suspense for a great comeback. Getting Kizer in on it to throw Mack a TD took some serious balls.“What was the injury.”

”... my knee!”

I'm no Dr. Dan but as someone who has torn their MCL on both knees multiple times, I'm 99.9% sure that's what he did. When your knee collapses on the inside like his did, it's the MCL.

### #### that 3rd and 1 call. Worse than the WR screen to Earl Bennett in 2010. Then the decision to kick a meaningless FG right after. Andy Reid Jr.

I'm sure the thinking was kick the FG, then they need a TD to beat them. Otherwise, go for it and not make it, the Packers only need a FG to tie
I can't believe nagy didn't think Rodgers wouldn't drive the field for a TD to win the game. It happens every single time. Kicking the field goal was pointless

I watched the play over and over on my yahoo app... I cant find a good angle but his L knee was bent when he got hit. was a weird position to be in.
I'm fairly confident he hurt his MCL. the question is did he twist on that as he fell to the ground/was hit. if so, possible meniscal injury. could also put the ACL at risk.
I expect Rodgers to have a brace on all season

My total unprofessional Guess is we are looking at a grade 1 or possibly 2 MCL.
Brace fo sho, and chance he misses a week or three after closer look by docs. Hopefully no more than that.

IMO, theres minimal chance Rodgers sits. Not after Kizers performance.“MCL (medial collateral ligament) injury.An injury usually occurring after impact to the outside of the knee, causing the MCL to stretch or tear. The MC ligament attaches to the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shinbone).

He will sit put all week and suit up Sunday unless it's a high grade tear that needs surgery, which is unlikely; no way you let him go back if it's a high grade tear... risk for a devastating injury is too great. but, I wasnt in the locker room so who knows
