-X- Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Some may not agree, but we beat ourselves. Nobody expected us to hang. I didn’t. Arrow is pointing upward. Just need to play better fundamentally. Today it was special teams and poor accuracy from Trub. Defense not getting enough pressure, but the Pats effectively avoided it (along with getting away with blatant holding multiple times).

Hawkeye21 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 That was a very winnable game along with the other two games they lost. They could easily be 6-0 right now. When's the last time Bear's fans were able to say that. We knew this was going to be a younger team that's going to make plenty of mistakes so I don't see why anyone should be too surprised. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen all this before - Jauron, Wannie, Lovie and on and on. Teams like the Patriots win winnable games. Teams like the Bears lose winnable games. Beating yourself still results in losing records and no championships. Actually, the Bears have usually been in winnable games over the many years of losing. Yeah they have taken some beatings but they tend to be in position to win games. But they don’t. Losing counts for nothing in the NFL but owners making money and a draft pick lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistd Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think there are a few things we can say with certainty. One is that there were three top QBs available in the 2017 draft. Pace had the first choice, and he chose the wrong guy. Mahomes and Watson are both worlds better than Trubisky will ever be. I’m beginning to believe Trubisky’s ceiling is Andy Dalton, perhaps Blake Bortles. And he may never equal those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistd Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Here are the problems with Trubisky: 1. He doesn’t read defenses well 2. He doesn’t see the field effectively 3. He doesn’t read through his progressions 4. He struggles throwing into coverage 5. He does not throw an accurate deep ball 6. He doesn’t handle pressure particularly welL 7. He makes poor decisions He does scramble pretty well, and he is athletic enough to be effective as a rusher. If you give him a clean pocket, he can hit wide open receivers. So for him to be effective you either need receivers who can get separation, or scheme the receivers open. But honestly there are a lot of QBs that can be effective throwing from a clean pocket to wide open receivers. i hope he can grow and improve. But I am not particularly optimistic.

The only QBs graded worse than him are Bradford, Tyrod Taylor, Rosen, Josh Allen, and Tannehill. I think Nagy has schemed well in creating open receivers and easy throws for Mitch. I just don’t think he has played well at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-X- Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The offense played well enough to win. Special teams were the key factor. Let’s not forget that we just played a Super Bowl team that has set the standard of excellence over the last 15 years. 4 years ago they dropped 51 on us. We were EXPECTED to lose vs. GB & NE. Still learning how to finish. Clear that Trubador is not yet comfortable. There are still 10 games left and the schedule is quite favorable. We can beat anybody except for the Rams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
