They have a mediocre QB and a below average offensive line. I’m so sick of listening to the Bears brain trust telling us that the offensive line just needs to play better. They suck. You can’t take a group of below average offensive linemen, and get good results. They can’t run the ball because the offensive line can’t control the line of scrimmage. And they can’t pass protect, so the QB is always under pressure. Nothing is going to change until you get better offensive linemen. First time I got to watch the Bears this year and this is spot on. One thing I’ll add which has already been mentioned (and I’m stating the obvious) but... the offense is so vanilla. It looked like they had their preseason game 1 offense in last night.

This is formula for hiding these deficiencies - see Wilson, Watson, Murray et al. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ericttspikes 2,559 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Montgomery is ungood. Another key offensive bust. When he was getting blown up in the backfield I could understand that it was perhaps the O line, but he just doesn't see his lanes well and runs to contact. Time to dust off Lamar Miller to at least see what he can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DocHolliday 3,929 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That is a boring O being wasted by a great D. Not sure of the problem on O but lack of talent is a big part. The lucky wins hid the big faults but if the losses pile up, the coaching staff will be in the cross hairs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because Nagy is sending in plays assuming the line will block long enough for it to develop. It's not, and he's not making enough changes to the play calling to the realities of what is happening in the game. Foles needs to keep his mouth shut in public, but i'm not sure that he's wrong.

It's been like this for 3 years now. Even in his "coach of the year" year 1 that offense had problems scoring. Nagy reminds me of Mike Martz, he's so damn sure that the offense he is running in his head is the best thing since sliced bread, and despite the fact it's FAILING on the field, he refuses to do anything different. I just remember all that kicker #####ing after the Eagles game and being... umm did anyone in charge even notice the fact we only scored 1 offensive TD in that game??? they wanted to pile the fault all on the kicker that put up the majority of the points for the team that day. I actually think they guy may really be a pretty good head coach. Team seems well managed, motivated (even though they suck), and he's been able to hold them together through some really tough runs. In the end he's going to go down for the same reason as Lovie Smith, unable to find a consistent offensive coordinator, only difference is Nagy himself is the bad OC. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I made the Martz comparison in last night's game thread. The line can't block and the plays do take too long to develop - same thing with Martz but defenses had caught up to his system as well. Foles should be pissed because the play calling has been terrible! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously it will probably be a spaghetti at the wall situation, but expect Patterson to see more carries than he should. Nagy doesn't want to run the ball anyway so it's a great excuse, but they do love seeing Patterson run into a wall of tacklers two yards deep in the backfield, so im sure they'll do that a little more than usual.

They have had him since early October though, so not sure why he hasn't been active sooner. The Vikings cut Pat Elflien and maybe he could help the Bears whos offensive line seems to be in bad shape right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twistd 170 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Boy, Lazor as the play caller made a world of difference. After the bye, Mitch is back I think. But, it doesn’t matter. When you can’t block anyone this is what you get. Year after year, they ignore the offensive line. Just pitiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have been mad watching the Jets do that with somebody I didn't necessarily trust as the GM/Coach yet. But as for the Raiders, I'd be madder that they turned that first round luxury into Clelin Ferrell. So far, no bueno. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jacobs is a starting RB. Some people hate that draft capital on an RB. I'll let that debate eat itself. But from what I can suss out (and I don't know which exact picks led to what) Ferrell and the corner Arnette haven't been great in terms of immediate impact. But they've still got time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flapgreen 5,910 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Bears need to lose out so they can get a top 10 pick. Fire Pace and Nagy. Draft another qb. Should have ability to get at least one of the top 4 guys. Maybe get Joe Brady for HC. I have no idea at GM. But I think they should be able to grab Mac Jones at qb, at the worst.

flapgreen 5,910 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sitting at 14th pick right now. I could see them getting to pick 9 or 10 if this continues and maybe a chance at a top 3 qb. Many of the teams picking in the top 10 at the moment already have their qb.
