I didnt see anything special this time around.
And you never will “see anything special”, because that doesn’t fit your preconceived narrative.
Weird how every recap of the game I’ve read except yours specifically points out how acrobatic that Montgomery catch was, and how effective Montgomery looked as a runner, yet to you it was just a routine catch, wide open.
& I guess you were in the bathroom during back to back runs where he broke multiple tackles to get a 1st down? Yoman, who was at the game, also reported on how good he looked comparatively.
Yet you’re in here claiming Mike Davis looked like the better RB? Was that the 2nd or 3rd time he ran straight into a pile for no gain?
As a receiver Davis looked above average, as he always has. As a RB he looked pretty bad, as he always does. Was he “decisively” bad? Ok, sure. He looked very confident running into a pile for no gain.
Montgomery looked special every time he touched the ball. Even on a no-gain carry, it was a busted play that would have been a loss for 2 had he not found a way to juke through an arm tackle & get back to the LOS.
The truth is that no RB received enough carries to do anything with any consistency or get into any sort of flow because the Bears threw the ball 40x and got way too cute with their play-calling. Fortunately, unlike your obvious bias, those things are correctable.
But you’re not in here to make legitimate observations about football. You’re here to say “I told you so” after one terrible game by the entire Bears offense, as though anything definitive is known today more than yesterday beyond the fact that it was one terrible game.
Some of us have watched enough football to not overreact to one bad game.
There will be better games for the Bears & for Montgomery. Likely sooner than later.
