D has been solid this year.  Especially when you consider the suspension and injuries.

yeah Fangio special coach.  Best we have that I can remember since Buddy Ryan.  I am fearful of losing him if they fire Fox.

Fangio wasn't so good last year with starting corners Tracy Porter and Crevon LeBlanc.

Best case scenario, we fire Fox, hire Harbough, and he keeps Fangio to coach D.  Sounds like a plan Pace needs to be working on....

The coach I'm most concerned with is Loggains.  He's got to figure out a way to energize the passing game.  I don't care who he has as receivers.  The NFL game is geared towards passing and Trubisky has the talent to take this group up a notch.

One pass attempt to a non-slot WR per game isn't going to cut it.

He has the half-back pass in his playbook

How are you going to do that with this group of WRs? That's like saying the Man in the moon needs to sell some of his stash or green cheese to generate income. Unreal. Not happening.

First of all, I'm not stating that they can be a top 10 passing offense with this group of WRs.  But one pass attempt to a non-slot WR is unacceptable in today's game.  Some of the blame is on Trubisky (I think he may have been a little gunshy after the Viking game), some of the blame is on the WRs for being inexperienced, but most of the blame is on Loggains for not getting the WRs involved in some way.

Next, they got to get Kendall Wright more snaps.  I have often wondered why Wright isn't getting more passes his way - almost like he's disappeared.  Then I read something from Fox saying that Wright only gets 25 snaps a game to keep him fresh and energized.  The other WRs are getting 70 something.  I know that last Sunday Bears ran a lot of 2 TE formations but they have to figure out a way to get their best WR on the field more.  Wright has to put on his big boy pants and play football.

Gentry and McBride had their first NFL starts last week, the more practice time they get with the first team offense the more throws they should get in the game.  Bellamy is also an option.  And hopefully there is a Wheaton sighting in the next week or so.

Trubisky gets to face a tough defense 3rd week in a row (Panthers are 4th in the NFL) - so it won't get any easier this week.

And the OL needs to give some protection/pocket.  I read somewhere that Trubisky had pressure on average in 1.8 seconds.  Not a lot of time to look for a deep throw with someone in your face immediately.  Just saying.

Why no slants?  We all know they kill the cover two.

It is. That's why they can only do what they do, because they are incapable of doing an NFL WR offense. Its just some posters cant seem to figure that out. If they actually ran such an offense with the group they would never complete a pass except to the opponent. They don't have the talent to run an NFL offense.
