I have no words other than Parkey better be off this team before the press conference
Yea, Mitch came up clutch when it mattered, and that was a good throw to get the team in position to win it.Well, Trub gave us the lead, the D let them score on one play to the guy that had been a thorn in our sides for years.
Failed two-point conversion that Nagy was laughing about afterward. Terrible playcall there.
he's not safe here, lol.I have no words other than Parkey better be off this team before the press conference
If you're going to credit God when you win then it seems only right to blame him when you lose.Then Parkey points to the sky after the miss...
Giving him a pass on the 59 minutes where his offense couldn't put up more than 15 points?? That's horrible for an offense. This loss is on Mitch , the play calling, the offense in general, then the worthless Cody parky.Yea, Mitch came up clutch when it mattered, and that was a good throw to get the team in position to win it.
I actually thought the playcalling was too aggressive at times, or at least too pass heavy. They ignored Cohen/Howard for large stretches of the game. Cohen especially felt like an afterthought all game. That said, did everything they needed to do to win except make a FG, so I can't be too upset.I thought Nagys playcalling was conservative, especially in the first half. That being said, super bowl champs, you kick a very makeable fieldgoal and move on. You dont have a kicker, this is what happens.
He should either change sides or change professions. Preferably the latter.If you're going to credit God when you win then it seems only right to blame him when you lose.
I thought there were a couple 4th and shorts around midfield in the firsr half they would have gone for in the regular season. Stage gets bigger and the gambling gets real.I actually thought the playcalling was too aggressive at times, or at least too pass heavy. They ignored Cohen/Howard for large stretches of the game.

This was still a great season, and only the beginning of things to come. The Bears are still getting better, while the rest of the division seems to be going the other direction.
I wonder in those particular cases if they were related to concerns about Trubisky's mobility, since 4th and short play calls have usually featured misdirection plays, and/or roll outs?I thought there were a couple 4th and shorts around midfield in the firsr half they would have gone for in the regular season.

In a perfect world, I agree..The problem is any kicker on the street mid season isnt an NFL caliber kicker. Pick your poison. The failure was evaluating Parkey in the first place.Bottom line, the one place I thought Philly had a clear advantage was at kicker, and that's what the game came down to. Chicago did enough to win, this loss is completely on Parkey.
Parkey should have been gone weeks ago....literally any NFL caliber kicker would have been an upgrade.
Came down to kickers? Elliot only kicked the ball once the second half(an extra point)Bottom line, the one place I thought Philly had a clear advantage was at kicker, and that's what the game came down to. Chicago did enough to win, this loss is completely on Parkey.

or won with a 40 yard fieldgoal.Came down to kickers? Elliot only kicked the ball once the second half(an extra point)
This team a bailed out by their D more than once, their pathetic offensive play is the reason they lost
They easily could have lost by double digits
If the script was flipped, I have zero doubt Elliot would have split the uprights. Every time Parkey lines up a kick, I automatically assume the worst.Came down to kickers? Elliot only kicked the ball once the second half(an extra point)

...or a successful GL stand. They needed another 20 yards to be sure and they didn’t even try.or won with a 40 yard fieldgoal.
They threw to the endzone on 3rd down and kicked on 4th with 13 seconds left, im not sure what else they could have done....or a successful GL stand. They needed another 20 yards to be sure and they didn’t even try.
My, what a big callus you have.
Yup Eagles weakness is their secondary and we waited too long to start really attacking. Then you saw they couldn't handle ARob. And I'm sure Miller could've had success down the field as well. And 4 touches for Cohen is mind boggling.I thought Nagys playcalling was conservative, especially in the first half.

post-game Nagy was getting some flack for Cohen only getting 4 touchesI thought Nagys playcalling was conservative, especially in the first half. That being said, super bowl champs, you kick a very makeable fieldgoal and move on. You dont have a kicker, this is what happens.
Very true and I said the same earlier, the D gave up the TD on the most crucial play.Parker needs to be replaced. But this isn’t all on his shoulders. The Bears D let the team down on that last drive. They needed to make a stop and they didn’t. Mack has been a stud all year. He was invisible in this game. Mitch didnt play well in the first half. A lot of things they could have done to win this game.
But the Bears far exceeded our expectations. I don’t think most of us would have anticipated winning 12 games, or winning the division. Mitch improved as the year progressed. He has a long way to go, but he improved. The D has a load of pieces that should be here for a number of years. Nagy had a sensational first season. A lot of positives to take away from this season.
On the other hand, had they won this game, I think they had a real shot to go to the Super Bowl. The Bears matched up well with both the Saints and the Rams. The Chiefs might be the odds on favorite to make it from the AFC. I think they match up well with them too. Unfortunately, that won’t happen. You don’t get many chances to go to the dance. The Bears May have squandered their best chance to win a Super Bowl in many years. Mitch may never get another chance. Marino went in his rookie year and never again.
All in all it tears your heart out. But there are reasons to imagine they may be in the playoff race for a number of years. Let’s all hope that is true.
clip out now shows an Eagles DL tipped the kick. so hopefully it gives Parkey a little breathing roomWhat did I say? What did I say?
PARKEY SUCKS.
Good game, Eagles fans.
here is a clip showing the kick was tipped https://twitter.com/scottgustin/status/1082095504970919936?s=12Yup Eagles weakness is their secondary and we waited too long to start really attacking.

That and the D letting the Eagles march down for a TD in the last 5 minutes are bothering much more than the dumb ### kicker.
I'm sick to my stomach.
Allen Robinson...?Buncha forgots on this board. Blaming a damn kicker because you QB sucks and your team refused to sign a reasonable wide receiver.
You’re not very bright.Buncha forgots on this board. Blaming a damn kicker because you QB sucks and your team refused to sign a reasonable wide receiver.
agreed. Parkey needs to be gone, there is a reason he has been on mulitple teams. However, the loss is not on him. Offense was basically #### the first half and had lots of 3 and outs, Cohen got 4 damn touches, and defense could not shut down the Eagles in the endFine, it was tipped. I never wished any ill will against Parkey, but he still sucks and needs to get gone.
