I have real concerns about Trubisky, but after rewatching parts of the game I see he was under pressure most plays and you can see he was trying to balance scanning the field with getting rid of the ball in time.
With the Packers using 6 DB's it's got to be pretty difficult to decide if a receiver is open or if you are missing a DB in decision making.
On a large number of plays he was looking and looking with the time he had not wanting to make a bad decision but having difficulty accounting for all the defenders.

Last year in those situations, (and in my understanding how you would counter a 6 DB defense), they would run Jordan Howard to move the chains until the defense made changes to stop the run, which then opened up pass opportunities.

The fact they had little run success made the situation worse.  For some reason Cohen had no carries.

Tru needs a good game Sunday no doubt.  Callahan has been out awhile with a bad foot and Fangio just said "maybe" when asked if he would play Sunday.  His replacement was taken advantage of.  I don't think Denver's defense is what it was 2-3 years ago.  Raiders threw short quick passes to tight ends to move the chains.  Most of their completions were under 10 yards to negate the pass rush.
