Offense is pathetic right now. Maybe they'll wake up in the second half. Hopefully it'll be the reverse of last year. Mack needs to make his presence known.

Settle down.

They need to PA pass when Montgomery is in the game.  Every time he is in they run.  Packers are keying on that.

Some receivers besides Robinson need to step up.  I would like to see some RB screens as well.

Some adjustments on offense need to be made.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2019, 10:49:08 pm
I seriously believe the Bears will be just fine.  Nagy chose to rest them in pre-season and be conservative.

That defense will only get better and they will not face another QB as good as Rodgers who they held to 7 points.

Sorry I despise losing to the Packers but if the Bears win the division again and go farther in the playoffs does it really matter?


Not that upset.

It isn't.  Not even close.

The Bears defense will be top 3 in the league probably number 1.

The Bears offense will be a LOT better then what we saw tonight. 
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2019, 10:53:37 pm
Use logic not emotion.

The Bears defense just held the best QB in the league to 7 points.  They had no film on said offense.  That is always tough.

My concern is our offense.  Which we know is at least middle of the road and has a lot of weapons.  I don't think Nagy had a great game plan on offense tonight.  He will have better one's going forward.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Sportster on September 05, 2019, 11:08:24 pm
I am not convinced Trubisky can get it done. He's not seeing the entire field and missing open recievers, seeing them. And tonight, for some frigging bizarre reason, he runs into pressure. The whole team just looked disconnected, not interested. Saw a bit of fire AT TIMES from the D but they just don't get it with the Packers. They just freeze up and play stupid and senseless football...

The Bears have better talent then the Packers top to bottom except at QB and kicker.  Rodgers is probably the best QB I have ever see play the game.  Even better then Brady.

Nagy thought his defense could get it done.  They held them to ten.  Sucks for us we were held to 3. 

Other teams will figure out the Packers offense in a few games.  I never liked facing them first game.

The Bears will be fine. 

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2019, 11:19:06 pm
The Packers defense is middle of the road.  But they spent their entire off season studying the Bears offense and hired Amos to fill in the details.  Remember when we used to do that?

We will be fine.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Sportster on September 06, 2019, 12:03:17 am
Last season, that first half of the first game was amazing. They came out on fire and lit the Pack up bad. Then they took their foot of the throat. This year? Just pathetic all game. The D kept them in it but even they had miscues that cost points-the wide open reciever in the drive that resulted in a TD. But the offense was flat out terrible. I do not have the optimism you do, Peke, not at all. They've got a very tough schedule this season and if they don't get this O figured out, it's going to be a long season. We've seen plenty of Bears teams with good D and terrible offenses go nowhere. Right now, Trubisky has a TON to prove and it's not looking good presently....one game down, we'll see how it goes hereout.

Nagys offense did not fool Pettine at all.

1 - Trubisky stunk.

2 - 3rd & inches and you line up in the shotgun? You need a yard & you run Patterson up the middle? Cohen with no rushes?

3 - we need a TE.

4 - Cody Whitehair was terrible, isn't he supposed to be our best OL? He was shockingly bad. The OL is way overrated.

5 - Allen Robinson looked like the only guy on offense ready to play.

6 - This team was not ready to start the season.

7 - Anthony Miller - 0 catches.

Cade McBiscuit looked like sh!t! This is why you play your starters in preseason. 3 points? WTF? So we could've had Mahomes, instead we get to watch this display of garbage. Only the first game but we just spotted Rogers a game lead in our division.

Nagy better dig deep.. You just lost one the most important games of the year for Bears fans..

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on September 06, 2019, 07:02:53 am
I knew as soon as I saw all the 85 Bears marching out waving white flags we were going to lose.  Let that 85 shiit rest already, and what was the point of waving white towels???

The OL was putrid last night, between pressure and penalties.  Trubisky was putrid.  What was up with those passes to Patterson where he was just lobbing them up in the air, but not far enough?  And it looked like he thought it was still preseaon throwing INTO double coverage, see INT for example.  And it seems like he has been nuetered and is afraid to run.  Anthony Miller targeted exatly ONE time.  WTF???  RB Davis was ok, but Montgomery was much better, but yes the Fudge were keying on him as a running play.  Try throwing to him some more.  Shaheen was putrid.  And Burton the pusssy didnt play in another big game.  I am not buying the "mystery" groin strain at all.  If we cant count on him, lets find someone we can count on.  Robinson looked good, but man he needs some help.  And did Cohen get any runs?  He was supposed to be our 3rd/all purpose player.  And Taylor Gabriel with the pushing off, not sure if that is on him or Trubiskys bad passes/not far enough.

D was good, and Roquan had some nice plays.  I was hoping for a little more.  At first I didnt think Clinton-Dix was even playing, as he was invisible.  The old I'm not doing anything to my ex-team, ala Burton.  But I did see his jersey in the second half.  I guess I was hoping/wishing for some more turnovers or picks.  They held them to 10 pts, so cant complain too much, but Mr Vaseline has that knack for getting rid of the ball at the last second.  I loved the sacks, and the last one he was kind of ginger getting up from. 

Overall I think all that superbowl hype went to their heads.  If the O cant get it together it will be a 7-9 year.  If I was Nagy I would make sure every O starter next year plays in the preseason, at lest until they show they are competent.  This could be a long year, and the last 8 months were hard enough, but last night was painful.

Well the atmosphere to start the game yesterday was electric.  However that pathetic display from our offense, destroyed what should have been a great evening for all Bears fans.

The play calling was bad; I mean really, really bad.

Trubisky was WAY over throwing the ball.  I know it is just one game, but really makes me wonder if he will pan out for us at QB.

Why did we not use D. Montgomery more?  He got a couple of touches, he needed more.  I think by the end of the year he will be a workhorse.

No turnovers?  Hopefully that trend does not continue.  Should of had a pick six early in game. 

We that was a major wake up call for me.  So much for booking Miami hotel (super bowl) and going to have to find a new QB in FF this year.

Nagy needs to come out and apologies to all Bears fans. He had all off season and that's the best they could come up with? Now they go on the road the next two games. Start 0 and 3 and you can just about kiss the season good bye. I just can't get over how bad McBiscuit looked, terrible!!
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on September 06, 2019, 08:27:54 am
YEah I was thinking they kept saying Trubisky is getting into level 202 plays, maybe he needs to go back to level 101 plays.  Cause what they tried last night didnt work.

As far as next week, at first I wasnt too worried about the Broncos and Flacco, but after seeing Trubisky last night, they could shut us out all together. 
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

3 points. 3.  Am I the only one who was shocked by 1st and 40 ? Bears got beat fair and square. Doubt that its going to be a good year. Throw everything else out the window, the Bears only
scored 3 points. Receivers were always well covered. No tight end really, and now I might as well say that at the time I thought the Howard trade was a mistake.  Those 3 on the field last night
didn't impress.

Post by: dallasbear on September 06, 2019, 09:45:02 am
Had to record the game and watched it last night well after midnight, so I haven't sifted through the posts (apologize for anything redundant).

1)  Defense did a helluva job.  Did just about everything better than last year, except for one thing.  Getting turnovers.  But they played well enough to win the game if they had an average output from the offense.  Holding Rodgers and Devante Adams to those numbers was an accomplishment.  But they would have had to be perfect and thrown a shutout to win this game.   Would have liked to seen more of Jackson and Clinton-Dix but they did their jobs.  Floyd is a monster with 2 hands isn't he?  And Robertson-Harris had a nice game when given some quality minutes.  Did anyone notice that Trevathan was kind of quiet?

2)  Offensive line - When you have a pass run ratio that is incredibly one sided it puts a lot of pressure on the QB and the O-line.  I thought for the most part they did an OK job.  A lot of the sacks were not their fault...but the last one was all  Whitehairs.  Also this was Daniels first game at center in the NFL.  I was concerned going in about his matchup with Kenny Clark - he's good. 

3) Wide receivers.  Gabriel had a tough night.  So close on two big catches that could have turned the game around.  Robinson was an all out stud - nuff said.  Where the H was Miller?  Targeted twice?  As I'm sure someone mentioned - the Packers played tight coverage daring the Bears wideouts to beat them (and the opposite was the Bears corners playing sometimes 10 yards off the wide receivers often giving them easy 7 to 8 yards).

4)  Running backs.  We need to see more of Montgomery.  In fact we need to see more of all the running backs...actually running.  Nagy has a tendency to abandon the run way too early in games.

5)  QB - Trubisky is not the Qb that you can drop back over 50 times in a game.  15 running plays and 3 of those were Trubisky scrambles.  There's something to him getting rid of the ball quickly.  The longer he sits back there the lower his rating drops.  He's got athleticism - he's got the arm, but his pocket presence was not good.   Part of that could be the receivers were not open - but part of it falls on him not finding secondary receivers and forcing the ball when his primary is open.

6)  TE - Shaheen...really?   You double dribble on your only catch.  Two games in a row without Burton - two losses.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Bears4Ever on September 06, 2019, 09:53:27 am
FWIW now that I've had time to let the game sink in a little:

The Good:
Defense is stout. Regression ? I didn't see any regression. Only scoring drive they gave up was on a hurry up drive (can't recall if Mack was taking a breather or not) and a busted play. Expected Rodgers to make at least 1-2 plays a game like that.

Montgomery is a beast (as is Robinson). The rest of the O... not so much.....

Oh and the Bears have a 100% FG percentage. YAY !

The Bad:
Special teams still taking the "Special Bus". ST coordinator (despite Nagys pathetic playcalling this game) I think is still the weakest coach of the bunch.

For some reason the Bears receivers looked like they were glued to the Packer secondary most of the night.

Trubisky looked rusty. Maybe some more pre-season play would've helped ?

The Ugly: (and now the angst :D)
Nagy's playcalling. WTF was that all about ? Patterson in a dive up the middle on 3rd and short ? Patterson out in routs (that he cannot run) and all those **** passes, Christ....

And speaking of runs, why the hell wasn't Montgomery in the game more and what happened to calling runs at all (he runs angry and is going to be a force in the NFL).

Shaheen. Waste. Of. Space. 'nuff said. Don't even get me started on "No Show" Burton......

Oline play. Too bad they didn't get more playing time in pre-season. Again what seems to be a bad Nagy decision


"One game does not a season make" but boy do they have to put this one behind them and wake the **** up. Maybe they were buying into their own hype ? Expect better next week but they may be lucky to be .500 going into the bye if the change is only incremental.....

  To think e could have had Mahomes without trading away a bunch of draft choices. Trubisky was only a one year starter. I watched Mahomes play lights out at Texas Tech for two years. I watched the tape on Trubisky and I just couldn't see what all the excitement about him was coming from. I was OK with the selection cause we needed a QB,but,I thought Pace was stupid for trading so much when Mahomes would have been sitting there for us. Oh well hind sight. I will say one thing that hurt was the lack of playing time in the exhibition season. It showed last night.

The whole thing has me wondering about Pace. Were we a really crappy team when he took over? Absolutely. Are we a much improved team? yes. But there are things that are glaring. A lot of people were shocked by the Bears move to get Trubisky. Even as late as the end of the last season I thought Trubisky would be fine. I know it's just the first game, but come the fukk on.. Mitch looked like sh!t last night. Another thing, where the h3ll is our TE? No TE? There is just no excuse for last night..

joki was the one person here who was on Mahomes pre-draft. Props to him for that...he nailed that one.

I'd be curious to see how many snaps Miller was on the field for...I'd bet it was less than half their total snaps. I saw more of Wims than I did Miller. And I only recall one target, and Tru badly overshot him...

31 teams didn't have a shot at Mahomes, he went 10th. It's all a crap shoot, agree, but Mitch was a serious crap shoot.

I can't get over how bad the O looked last night..

Any team could have made the trade Kansas city did.
My point is he was erratic in college and far from a sure thing.

Wims 20 of 71 plays...Miller 15 of 71...

Trubisky needs to do a much better job of finding the open man...ARob was blanketed by 2 guys on the pick in the end zone. Stupid pass...

Post by: dallasbear on September 06, 2019, 03:36:08 pm
Mahome's rating his last year in college was 157.0.   Trubisky's was 157.9.

Mahome's came from school known for churning out system QBs (Texas Tech) while Trubisky played in a pro offense at NC.   There was some question as to whether Mahomes was another system QB.   And I don't know many of the draft experts that Mahomes ahead of Trubisky. 

Plus Trubisky doesn't play with all-pro's Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.

And the guy that the Bears were supposed to take at #3 in the 2017 (Solomon Thomas) isn't even starting for the 49ers.

Trubisky did not have a good game and he's not Pat Mahomes NFL MVP,  but I'm not going to start whining about what we shoulda coulda done in the draft.  Trubisky has shown that he's better than what he did last night.

Recall the Bears were ranked in the bottom third of the NFL in offense last year.  What changed this year?  Did they add any game breaking receivers?  They added David Montgomery and barely utilized him.  They also lost the services of a very good TE in Burton which is a good portion of the offense.

Bears need to cleanup their blocking assignments especially with Daniels and Whitehair's position swap, get Montgomery more involved (and Cohen), get Burton healthy, get Miller and Wims involved and Nagy needs to balance his play calling better.

Recall last year we were in a similar spot after the opener and the Bears rebounded.  Next week is game 2 - come off the ledge.

Good thing they have more than a week to right the ship.

I don't think the Broncos are going to be very good, and Flacco sure isn't Rogers.

If Nagy is a good coach they will play much better on offense next week.

Post by: chifaninva on September 06, 2019, 05:26:22 pm
One thing Mahomes has that Mitch doesn't, Andy Reid..

Mitch has to show that he is better than he was last year. Last night he didn't show any progress.. Remember, this is the NFL (not for long).. Another thing, remember, Mitch was already here when Nagy took over.

We're all mad as hell.  Like many of you were doing earlier in the evening,  I was screaming at my TV at 3am this morning watching the recording of the game (surprised no one at home heard me).

Sure, I felt bad that we got embarrassed on national TV against our biggest rival in the 100th year of the NFL - just like we did when they retired Sayers and Butkus number years ago.  And I also threw a pity party on why the Bears can't ever have a decent offense.  I've spent years...no, decades watching a defense play its heart out and then the keystone cops Bears offense lines up and trips over their diks.

But did you notice the completions Trubisky made were usually in very tight windows.  The passes to Robinson down the sideline.  Even the pass when Gabriel was pushed out of bounds was tight throw.  Some of Cohen's throws had guys closing in on him a split second before the ball arrived.  I give credit to the Pack on their DB play.  They have loaded up on DBs the past 4 or 5 years in the draft and now have 2 #1s, a #2 and Amos.   With the Bears abandoning the run it played right into their 4 - 1- 6 alignment. 

I bet the Bears don't want to wait 10 days to wipe the stench of this game from their memory, but it will give them some time to work things out and maybe even Burton can use the time to get back to health.  And I'd bet Miller isn't 100% right now either.

The team just didnt look ready for game play. If only the NFL had some series of games they play before games started counting... not sure if we can look into that. Perhaps Nagy's move pays off in January, but the NFL is too competitive to punt the first 1-2 weeks of the season because you decided to bench all your starters and your opponents did not. The OL showed very clearly their communication was not game ready, nor imo was their physical conditioning.

The biggest frustration for me was that they never really tried to establish the run, even though Montgomery really looked good.  Instead, they obviously wanted to go with Davis to try to establish the pass.  Never a good idea in the NFL Central.

Trubisky was lucky not to have three picks last night as Green Bay dropped one and another was broken up with incidental contact.

Trubisky playing better than he did against the Packers really isn't the point. The question is do people think he looks like a QB that can win titles? It's not about managing offenses anymore. You have to be able to make plays down the field.

No sarcasm font ? :D

So many folks seem butt-hurt over the loss everywhere I look, but as I've gotten older I've found it isn't worth it to let something color my outlook that way. Now when i was younger it would ruin at least a few days into the next week for me at work and I'd be more cynical and bitter than I usually am (which is quite a lot normally to be honest :D)

Maybe all the practice of being disappointed over the last 3 decades and have tempered me (or maybe I've just gotten old :D).  Now I've got a 1/2 hour of anger after a game then shrug it off. It sucks to invest feelings into something passionately only to get your heart ripped out but as I've reached the point in life where it stops giving you things but starts taking them away (friends, family, health) I now know its not the destination but the ride that matters.  And I won't let it spoil this weekend's Redzone football fest as I enjoy the game too damn much.....

Enjoy the roller coaster season. BEAR DOWN and Go BEARS !

Postscript:
Got an email from a friend with a quote from earlier last week by Nagy that he didn't want the team to peak to early and my friend added "Good Job then". With friends like those........ :)

I'm getting to where you are but not yet there. 

Fortunately for me after watching the recording of the GB loss early Friday morning I had to go to bed.   Normally after a loss I'm very irritable towards my family and the dog.   The anger is replaced by general sadness and depression which decreases throughout the week and generally gets replaced by  excitement while I start focusing on the upcoming game. 

It's really therapeutic to come here to share my grief and listen to the over reacted opinions that I also had a few hours after the game.

LOL!! I'm not nearly as animated about the whole NFL in general. I used to be able to name at least the main players on every team. Not anymore.. I don't spend the money on the ticket anymore, and haven't for quite awhile. Now, if the game isn't nationally televised I listen to the WBBM (radio) feed. It won't be much longer the NFL will stand for overrated (if it hasn't already reached that status). There's no loyalty, the players don't care about the team they play for, they care about the paycheck they receive. It's not about the fan anymore, it's about money and how things can be manipulated for a political agenda. Sad, but it's reality. There's more to life than watching football...

Age is sometimes wisdom (or maybe acceptance ?). But 'm too cynical to believe in any overall plan of any sort. Of course it may also have to do that I drink a whole lot less (although still a bit during the season). At least my liver thanks me :D

I get angry during the game and a day or two after, then it's 'yep, this is the @%$#$ Bears,here we go again' attitude. We've seen it so often over the last three or so decades we all should be used to it. My wife avoids me for the rest of the day because I'm hot, and then it's back to business as usual. I'm MUCH MUCH more animated after a loss to the Pack then I am with any other team. A game that's winnable should be won-period. To lose with inept offensive play time and again is pathetic. Tru either needs to get it figured out or we'll once again be on the hunt for the incredibly elusive franchise QB.

The Bears O just sucked and the play calling was atrocious. If I remember correctly Allen Robinson bailed Mitch out 2-3 times on great catches with the DB in his face or it could have looked worse.

I agree Rodgers didn't benefit from any special treatment from the ref.

That's kind of been my point about Trubisky.  He often times forced to make contested throws because the DBs were playing our wideouts tight.  Not too many throws to guys with cushions. 

Everybody on offense sucked.  Nagy got outcoached and couldn't make halftime adjustments.  Trubisky lost his cool.   The O-line couldn't handle a non-vanailla pass rush.   Receivers got little separation.  Running backs, weren't given many chances, but no one ripped off a 10 yard run.  TEs...do we have TEs?
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: davebear on September 10, 2019, 03:41:17 pm
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.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: davebear on September 15, 2019, 06:57:10 pm
Pretty weird.

This past week Nagy says he threw too much complicated offensive concepts at Mitch this off season which slowed down his decision making and plays were coming in late against Green Bay, this week he would shorten the playbook.
We see both last week and this week when Mitch drops back and scans the field he's usually not seeing an open receiver.  I guess this week he was ordered to check it down right away.
With either philosophy there are putrid results from the passing game.  Isn't there something in the playbook that might result in open receivers?
Denver surely found theirs.
Nagy's going to have to take his lumps and successes with Trubisky whether this team goes anywhere or not.

BTW this win sure feels good.  How many losses have Bear fans witnessed in games like this.

Cordarrelle Patterson zooms to 22.23 mph, fastest play by a ball carrier in two years
12:37 PM ET
Jeff Dickerson
ESPN Staff Writer

DENVER -- The Chicago Bears signed veteran Cordarrelle Patterson because he's a triple threat.

Patterson has impacted games as a wide receiver, running back and kickoff returner over the course of a seven-year NFL career.

On Sunday, Patterson breathed life into an otherwise listless Bears offense when he lined up in the backfield, took a simple toss left, and galloped 46 yards deep into Denver territory.

Patterson reached 22.23 mph on the run, the fastest speed reached by a ball carrier over the past two seasons, according to NFL Next Gen stats.

0-2 is a death sentence for a team trying to get back to the playoffs and Denver is virtually undefeated at home in weeks 1 and 2 over the last decade or so.  A conservative gameplan was always in play.  That overthrow miss to Gabriel was very disappointing, but the OL did play better at least.

Back to the drawing board for the passing game, but better off a win.  Skrine owes Eddy the most expensive steak meal in Chicago and then some.

Good win.  Definitely wasn't pretty, but the bears came through in one of the hardest places to win in the NFL. 

Some random thoughts I had:
1.  The WRs  aren't as good as we thought.  I think we have a deep collection of mediocre.

2.  The D gassed because they were awful on 3rd and 4th down in the 2nd half.  Mainly due to poor tackling and the cushion our dbs give the WRs. 

3.  Sick thought I had during the game was imagining trestman having an elite D year one like Nagy had.  That goober might still be here.  Nagys shine is getting dimmer every game.

Piniero 10, Trubisky 6 and he didnt score the 6. UGH! A win is a win, I'll take it. We sure didnt deserve it. Talk about winning ugly? I fully comprehend the pain. One thing I should mention in defense,

like the Miami game last year where the heat caused us problems, the altitude played a factor today.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on September 15, 2019, 08:57:32 pm

As I've said after the Packer game the Bears receivers get no respect.  There's no cushion - everything tight.

And with 2 of our top 4 receivers gimpy (Anthony Miller and Burton), nothing is going to change against teams with a decent pass rush and/or decent DBs.

Bears avoided the middle of the field until the very end and they got to lead the league in sideways passes at the LOS. 

This is not an NFL offense.

Opposing defenses will play tight man until Trubisky shows he can beat it consistently. He tends to be errant in his accuracy so they're expecting to get a pick or three.

Well.... um... a win is a win in the stats (and it is nice to finally have a kicker) but it still feels dirty somehow,  not because of the officiating (it did suck for both teams) but the fact that this Offense is would have to improve to become even terrible.....

IMHO I think Nagy has too many shiny toys to play with. He needs to concentrate on 2-3 offensive players (Robinson, Montgomery and maybe Burton) as primary and build off of that instead of just throwing **** at the wall and seeing what sticks. Right now he an ADD offensive coach.....

Glad for the win, but boy its going to be a long nail-biting season with this scatter-brain offense....
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: wmljohn on September 16, 2019, 06:43:46 am
What concerned me the most was the heart of this team failed to deliver when needed.  We were up by a TD late and all they had to do was stop Denver from scoring and they couldn't.  If you want to be the best Defense in the league you can not let Denver march down the field and score a TD late.  They were 62 yards away with only 2:48 to go and couldn't stop them.  They had them in a 4th and 10 and couldn't stop them.  They had them in a 4th and 3 and couldn't stop them.

If you want to tout the Defense then they need to stand up when needed.  They didn't.  They failed.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: VJ on September 16, 2019, 07:06:37 am
You're right.  They did fail.  And if you ask everyone on defense if they should have stopped them on the 4th downs, they would own it and say that they should have.

But the altitude and temperature close to 90 is a powerful 12th man on offense for Denver and one of the main reasons why the Broncos are 22-2 in Week 1 or Week 2 home games since 1999.  Before yesterday, they have not lost a week 2 home game in 40 years.

And so, I am not concerned about the defense yet.

If you want to tout the Defense then they need to stand up when needed.  They didn't.  They failed.

Not to pile on, but you are dead wrong.  Bears did stop one 4Q 84 yard drive with the pick (which I can't believe the announcers didn't show a closer look at whether Fuller went out of bounds).  But after that what did the offense do, run 5 plays then punt?  They were gassed and Flacco, although a statue, is a very accurate QB.  I couldn't believe he was able to get off throws with guys on him.

I noticed when they blitzed Skrine for the 4th time in a row he had a clear shot to Flacco - but Pagano used his second timeout.

So what concerns me is the offense...the passing game is fukked up.  The O-line gave up some pressure but no sacks - but Leno especially seems to be struggling this year.  Are Miller and Burton still hurt?  They are not a part of the offense like they were last year.  And Cohen isn't being utilized.  Shaheen and Braunecker aren't scaring anybody.

This is the NFL - you never put any game in the win column before its played!   With the way the Bears offense is playing right now I don't see them being favorites in many road games this season.

Back to the offense.  Yes, the Bears ran for over 150 but about 50 of that was from Patterson on the one play that the Bears scored their only touchdown (barely).  According to some mph stats - Patterson is the fastest running back in the NFL. 

Where's the quick slants and the crossing patterns?  Bears seem to avoid the middle of the field and nibble on the edges near the LOS.

on constant defensive turnovers to save the bacon, which that fuller one did.

 I can only hope that part of Trubisky's regression is caused by a lack of playing time in the preseason. I understood the philosophy,but,man those game reps are kinda important. I agree that Mitch needs to run the ball more where he can buy time or even go for it.Opens up the offense completely!

Part of Trubiusky's problem is he was facing VIC FANGIO - who knows how to make Mitch uncomfortable. No one knows how to stop the Bears O better than Fangio.

No sacks for the Broncos and no turnovers - HUGE pluses.

I am tired of watching other team's highlights of receivers running down the field wide open,with no DB in the picture, catching 50 yard bombs. 

With the Bears a pass over 10 yards to a WR is major accomplishment.  And often times even those are into a tight window.

I really like Alan Robinson.  He's a very good possession receiver.  Great hands, great body control, but he's maybe a 4.6 guy.  Our speed receiver Taylor Gabriel just isn't producing.  10 yards a catch last year and only 2 scores on his 67 catches.  He's extremely fast but at 5-7 he doesn't have much of a catch radius.  This year 3 catches.  That's ridiculous for a starting receiver in the NFL today.  Not all his fault but that needs to improve.

There's something wrong with Anthony Miller that's not being shared (but I'm sure our opponents know).   He needs to get healthy or Bears need to start targeting Wims.  Wims has dominated in PS the last 2 years.  He's huge and can win those 50/50 balls and his speed is pretty good.

That's why I was all excited about the two FAs signed this offseason named named Hall - they were fast guys, but for whatever reason weren't good receivers and got cut.

Maybe the Bears need to face some really bad corners - cuz the ones we've seen so far have been shutting them down.

Green Bay played a dime the whole time and it shut our receivers down completely. We have no running game so that was super smart.

I watched highlights of Lamar jackson today on NFLN.  For what it is worth, it was against the Dolphins.  The Dolphins did a real soft rush where they waited for him to run.  I would say he had an easy unharassed 5 - 6 seconds per throw.  Of course you are going to find people... and they were wide open.  Allen Robinson, middle of the field for 25, open

After listening to that depressing Lombardi interview, I am thinking that now that the defenses the next few weeks (Queens notwithstanding) are not as tough, I want to see Mitch run more to throw or chew up some yards.  That is what he does best and when he is the most accurate.  The Bears do not have the time to develop him as a pocket passer and will have to trust Mitch not get himself hurt when he rushes.  But maybe if he gains some confidence on the run or moving up away from the pass rush completing passes to the WRs like the last play of the game, maybe his game in the pocket will improve.  just grasping straws here...
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: davebear on September 18, 2019, 03:41:57 pm
Not sure what Lombardi interview you're talking about but he has hated Trubisky from the beginning.  Trubisky seems at his best when the game is in his hands.  Let him run to the point the defense has to dedicate a spy
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: VJ on September 18, 2019, 04:40:37 pm
Yeah I know Filene's Basement and all that.  What Nagy needs to do now is find a way for Mitch to use his legs even though teams are setting the edge to prevent the edge runs and force him to "play QB."  Interior blocking is essential to allow Mitch to buy time in the pocket by side stepping or moving up in the pocket and complete some passes.  Once that happens then opportunities will open up for Mitch to run or throw on the run.  Maybe more play action will be called based on Nagy's willingness to lean on the run for whole drives.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Sportster on September 18, 2019, 11:55:39 pm
They've shown a few times now where our recievers are getting open but Trubisky ain't seeing them or he's late with the ball and the defender has closed. This isn't just the recievers fault...

Post by: joki13 on September 22, 2019, 12:56:55 pm
 davebear makes a good point. Trubisky and the offense were more dangerous when Mitch would run the ball more freely. That's the one aspect defenses have a hard time defending. Opens up other options. Nagy run Trubisky. Designed runs and run options,keep the defense on their heels. Just don't run like Jim McMahon with reckless abandon. That'll shorten your career although it's admirable. I loved Jim's competitiveness!

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: davebear on September 23, 2019, 11:20:25 pm
Definitely a step forward for Mitch and the offense but still very sloppy.
Finally Nagy was able to scheme some open receivers but it's still alarming how many Mitch either didn't throw to or missed.

Once he under threw Robinson in the end zone it was obvious to me there's a confidence issue.  You tend to short arm the throw or over compensate and throw too long when you're spooked.
We'll see if time takes care of that.

Our run game is still pathetic.  I think Trubisky would be somewhat better if they were getting 5 yards on first down instead of two.  Long is hurt and we had the rookie Lukas for Massie.  Lucas overall played surprisingly well.
Cohen's gotten nothing so far this year.

Pagano is going to give me a heart attack with his 4th quarter defenses but I guess you can't argue with the results.

A win is a win.  However that Redskins team is bad, really bad.  Not sure I am feeling real great about the Bears this year.  We absolutely have a solid D, but our OL and QB are bad.

"Definitely a step forward for Mitch and the offense but still very sloppy."

I disagree. If you want to call a step a step it would have to be baby's first step which is fragile and trepidacious. If it werent for the defensive turnovers we wouldnt have won. Thats not what I call a step forward. Mitch wasnt Kalil Mack. And if it doesnt improve to last years level of play by Sunday they will regress to 0-2 at home which isnt going to thrill the home fan base.

That was/is a bad Washington football team. qb still needs to run more. that Patterson guy in the backfield aint howard. Its football. clever only goes so far, you still gotta smash the other guy
more than he smashes you. Redskins shouldn't ever been in that game. If the bear doesn't start running better gonna lose more than win I'm afraid.

I fell asleep during halftime.... I want to see on occasion a power I with Montgomery back there and just smash the ball.  They tried it with Patterson. We saw Mitch miss on a simple screen. It seems the receivers rarely made yac because they had to stop and make a leap to catch the ball or dig it out of the dirt a lot.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

The one good play from Montgomery was when he tried to run up the middle, saw the hole gone and split outside for 25 yards.

Bears needs to get Montgomery at least 20 touches per game.  He's got that leverage thing going on when contact is initiated.

That is the problem. No holes from the Oline. And having the ORT out sure didnt help. Oline not playing as a unit yet. No reps during the preseason.

According to Brad Bigg's article Massie had a Vertigo episode a few days ago.

It seems that the Bears cannot have and keep nice things on the field for some reason :D

Instead of Patterson on that I formation thingy Nagy uses he should have Montgomery. Imagine what that extra blocker could do for the kid (he wouldn't keep getting hit at or behind the LOS).....

Nagy still is an ADD coach with regards to which folks are on the field in relation to the play calling. He seems to trying to be too cute fitting square-ish pegs into round holes. As such Nagy watch isn't over yet.....

That said, a win (of any sort) versus the Vikings would go a long way.....

Cousin can't handle our D. We will win in a close one.

Cousin only wins when he has time ion the pocket. I am guessing he does not finish this game. We have been on the road for TWO games, BOTH WINS - I am guessing the D will be very fired up for the home crowd.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on September 25, 2019, 12:47:58 pm

Bears defense needs more than being fired up when the 4th quarter rolls around.  They need healthy players and contributions from their backups.

But mostly they need an offense to put up points, especially when given good field position after turnovers.  They also need an offense that can keep the defense off the field - control time of possession.

The defense has been compromised in the 4th quarter of the last 2 games.  Offense put up 24 points with only 3 in the 2nd half.  That's not enough when you get  5 turnovers.

I keep thinking about this... unless maybe Nagy was trying to set something up for later. I mean right now you cannot assume anything based on personnel. If you think about it, a guy that is 6’2” 238 that runs a 4.4 forty, he can be used in a lot of ways. I can’t figure out why he hasn’t done more in the league.

Nagy has to stop trying to be too smart and just use the best players at their best positions, if for nothing else than to get a little continuity going in this offense.

I think that would go a long way to getting this offense to look at least average.....

Can't afford to go 0-2 in the Division (and at home !)

Go Bears !

I agree, I feel if you have a base set with Robinson, Miller, Gabriel, Burton and Montgomery, you have enough weapons there to score on most teams. No need to get cute all the time. Mix in a little Cohen and Patterson when you need more speed and maybe add some Wims when you need more size.

Just finished watching the game.  Interesting in the 2nd quarter that Kwaitkowski and Irving were playing a bunch.  Seems when those guys get in to give others a rest our D gets soft. 

Mitch missing wide open WRs again still makes me sad.  Glad for the win, dont have confidence we can score on the Vikes D, even at home.

And Lynch played a lot with Irving.  He had offsides on consecutive plays.

SlingTV and Redzone for me- goes well with my Rokus.

Watch Redzone all day, then later (depending on night game) the full Bear game with NFL Gamepass....

As an aside, if I'm pressed for time (or the Bears lose :D) they post the condensed game (each snap) by the next day so I can watch it in 30 mins or so.....

It isn't free, but the NFL.Com TV works well.  Unlike MLB.Com, you can't watch the game live, but must wait until the game has been over for at least an hour.  But it is just as easy to watch the game her in Florida on Sunday evening rather than Sunday afternoon.  As long as you haven't heard the score, it really makes no difference.  And they cut out all the damb commercials.

They'll put him on the roster for the duration of the injury

davebear I agree.  However it depends on the length of Trubisky's injury.  If it is going to be a few weeks then that is how they should roll.

However if Trubisky is done for the season or for a great length of time it might be time to look into acquiring Manning.

The window is small in the NFL and ours is right now.

Very impressed with Daniel today against a very tough defense.
Kwiatkoski lead the D with 10 tackles, 9 solo, 1 sack and 2 tackles for loss....yes, Kwiatkoski.
Pineiro was 3 for 3 FGs.
O'Donnells punting kept the Vikes pinned in their own territory.
Neither RB did well, both with a 2.5yr avg. But incredibly Cook, the leading NFL rusher, did much worse in yards-35 to 53, and that against a depleted defense.

Just a awesome performance today.

The D was unreal today while missing several key starters.  That bodes well for the future.

The O did fairly well under a top 3 defense under Daniel.

We should beat the Raiders and be 4-1 going into the bye.

All you need to see what Mack provides to this defense can be seen on the lone TD drive they gave up. Mack was out (at least for the 3rd and short at the goal line).

Without him they are good. With him they are GREAT. Wonderful feeling seeing that. Too many stupid penalties though (WTF up with Jackson canceling out a good D play with a dumbass penalty ?).

Competent offense is all this team needs for most games. It still feels too scatter-brained. Good to see Wims get some looks (and Robinson is a true #!).

Give some props to Special Teams as well. Good kickoffs, punting, coverage and Eddie Money made all his kicks.

Good win. Sucks that Trubs got hurt. This team cannot seem to get and keep QBs. Some kind of curse for sure....

Go Bears !

Most excellent D performance.  I thought for sure the second I heard Roquan was out this was a loss.  Kwaitkowski had a super game, although he wasnt really called into coverage too much, a good thing.  And Goldman started, but did he get hurt or were they resting him later in the game?  And put me down for thinking Daniel looked much more accurate with his pass placement. 
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on September 30, 2019, 09:39:35 am
The Bears deactivated linebacker Roquan Smith for Sunday’s game against the Vikings and it’s unclear whether he will return to action in Week Five.

Personal matters were cited as the reason why Smith did not play and head coach Matt Nagy did not elaborate on Smith’s situation after the 16-6 victory. During a Monday appearance on WBBM Newsradio, the coach did not say whether Smith will travel to London with the team to face the Raiders.

“We’ll see,” Nagy said. “We’re still working through all that. We’ll see where that goes.”

Linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski took Smith’s spot in the lineup and posted nine tackles, a sack, two tackles for a loss and a forced fumble.

“I’m proud of the way he stepped up,” linebacker Danny Trevathan said, via 670 The Score. “When he came in, I knew there was going to be no letdown, no letup.”

The Bears may be counting on Kwiatkoski again this week.

I’ve spent a decent amount of time in the gym and reading about bodybuilding, powerlifting and fitness. A great deal of having visibly defined muscles is diet and the type of lifting you do. Most guys competing in power lifting competitions look nothing like the guys bodybuilding. They usually look pretty “fluffy”.

In reading some of Mark Rippetoe’s work, he claims to reach your peak strength, you need to eat a little more as it is impossible to build strength (outside of newb gains) unless you are in caloric excess.

Kwiatowski was sometimes replaced on passing downs when he wasn't blitzing by Kevin Pierre-Louis (#57).  Though I only saw him for a few plays that cat can move and hit.  He's ahead of last 2018 draft pick Joel Iyiegbuniwe on the depth chart at ILB.

Trevathan and Kwiatowski are both FAs at year end.

Just when I start thinking about replacing Amukamora next year he has a game like he did Sunday.

Glad Wims got some targets.  Was Ridley active?   Bears need to be rotating multiple receivers into games instead of just using the standard 3.

Thoughts from the game:

1. Daniels was an excellent game manager. He did what we need to win - and did not turn the  ball over. He got rid of the ball quickly and was super confident throwing. He KNOWS the offense - I do not think Mitch understands the O.
2. If Mitch tucks the ball away and takes the loss he is still playing - I am still pissed he did not get MAJOR preseason minutes - guess what, he is now hurt.
3. Defense was amazing and our D is super deep - we have a lot of linebackers who can step up.
4. Nick Williams - your table is ready - great game. Next man up.
5. I don't remember them calling Fueller or Amukamura's name once - that's a good thing.
6. Montgomery needs MORE carries in a game. Seems like they wanted to get Cohen the ball more.
7. The line play was better.



Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on October 01, 2019, 11:48:21 am
My point on Long wasnt that he wasnt cut, as I would never expect a lineman to be.  My point was look at his chest, his arms look big and strong but his pecs look flat and deflated.  Like he hasnt been lifting in a long time.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on October 01, 2019, 01:01:40 pm

Daniel, who many here wanted to cut in the preseason, seemed much more decisive than Mitch.  His short/intermediate throws were on target and had good velocity.

Daniel's game may suffer if the pocket deteriorates - he's not nearly as mobile as Mitch but he seems to have a better sense of pressure and gets rid of the ball prior to getting sacked. 

Bears are better off with Mitch but Daniel can win you some games as a reliever.  Remember last year when he beat Detroit but lost to the lowly Giants.  Vikings were not ready for Daniel but the Raiders will be.

According to one sportswriter when the Bears gave Whitehair a lot of money it meant they won't resign Long and Amakamura.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on October 01, 2019, 04:35:13 pm

Both Long and Amukamara are signed through 2020...both are 30.

Amukamara probably has more of a chance of playing next year since he's doing well so far and there is no up and coming CB on the roster that can fill his shoes.  Long is coming off a dreadful Redskin game and is either underperforming or injured.  Bears have the 32 year old Ted Larsen as his backup Rashard Coward and the rookie from Notre Dame on the PS could be future options to replace Long.

It's a whole lot easier to find a quality guard than a quality CB.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

Raiders got destroyed by Seattle last year who arrived in London early.  The Raiders learned their lesson and are practicing in London now.  It may not be that big a factor and I get why Nagy wants to stick with the Halas Hall routine as long as possible.  But I think it would be advantageous to get the long flight over with.

We know Trubisky is out and sounds like Smith too, but I'd bet guys like Hicks and maybe Gabriel will be held out so they get extra time off with the upcoming bye after Oakland.

Can Bears defense contain Derek Carr enough so the Bears offense can put up more points than Oakland?

Certain games 'should' be winners and this is one of them. The schedule gets much tougher later, so they need to put full effort and time into winning this and not sit on their laurels expecting a win. If ANY impact player is available, he needs to play, IMO. I'd hate to see them lose a winnable game, lose to a tougher opponent later, and then miss the playoffs because they didn't win the games they should have.....

This is a typical trap game and we are going to lose.  Mark it down.

Daniel had money on the Raiders, no question.  I would trade Long/Leno/Massie all three heads up for Richie Incognito.  Our OL is putrid.  Long needs to be put down and sent to the glue factory.  And Leno with him.  This was putrid, and if they hadnt suckked so hard the first half, maybe we would have won.  I think they thought they were just going to go in and win the game, but Chuckie out coached Nagy, hands down.  ANd that running into the kicker?  Seriously, ST kind of stinks as well.  A roller coaster and I am just numb right now.  Not sure Trubisky would have done any better, as he is erratic, but at least he wouldnt have any money on the game.  And Mr Mack, the hype got to you, sorry.

Since our O Line blows chunks, we have no run game, which means all the fancy craap our Head Coach wants to do doesnt work as it should.  We are going to waste a good D this year, kind of like last year.  IF we had a superstar QB, like Roders/Brady/Mahomes, it would be a different situation, but we may never ever have one of those.

I think our defense was hearing too much about them being better than the '85 Bears. 

As bad as our O-line and d-line played somehow the Bears had a chance to get a tie or a win at the end.  Not sure what happened on that last play, otherwise Daniel had a pretty decent game.

There also was no excuse to give up the drive that led to the final go-ahead TD for the Raiduhs. Think the D spent too much time reading their clippings and not enough study of Raider tendancies.....

Hate overseas games. Always have and always will. But both teams have to play so there is that. Look at the bright side. The offense finally scored 21 points ! Still mystified that other teams with far less talent seem to get that much each week........

97 yard drive for their final score?  From this D?  There is no excuse for that.  They didn't get help from the special teams which fvcked up big but they have to not allow that late in the game.

The Defense got their asses handed to them.  The WHOLE GAME.

The Raiders shut down the run and dared the Bears to beat them with Chase Daniel.  He couldn't do it.

Tabor ST coach is average on his best days. Thought before the season began he was the weakest of the coordinators but now I've got to wonder wtf Hiestand is smoking. Oline regression is inexcuseable.....

Undisciplined teams lose games they should win. Simple.

I think this was a perfect storm game of jet-lag, mind-numbing errors (both coaches and players) and general hubris.

Bears got served a dish of humble pie. The real test is where they go from here (Vikings prevented their implosion this week. Can the Bears do that over the Bye ?)...

Sophmore slump for Nagy for sure. Still does not seem to use his personnel correctly (Cohen is NOT a premier back. WAKE THE **** UP NAGY and use your tools correctly).

He's a good tool (and you have others too). Put away the Coach of the Year trophy, get back to basic football. and USE THEM. Think of where this O would be without Robinson......

Again, you see teams with less talent on O scoring more than this underachieving group. Frustrating. But they are 3-2. The season is not over. But as usual they cannot make it easy on themselves.....

Derek Carr carved up the Bears with short passes to predominantly TEs.  You won't find a household name among there skill position players besides Carr and the rookie Jacobs.

Short passes.  Double Mack and take your chances with the Floyd and the d-line.  That coupled with the total inability to stop the run.  We need Hicks and Nichols back now.

Yes, set up the return.  But even if the Bears get the ball Nagy, with the 4 point lead, would have went ball control to try to kill the clock, and with the Bears running game they would be punting it right back to the Raiders.

The O-line sucks because Jay Leno is the most penalized OT in the NFL, Long can not longer block - he great many years ago, but he physically can't do, Daniels is struggling mightily at center - he can not get on his blocks. Massie is below average.

Not sure who the backup center is, but I move Daniels to guard and sit Long - Long's body can no longer do it.

It was the Bears who were consistently running on first down.  The Raiders would often get 8 or 9 yards on first downs passing...at least they were in the 2nd half.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: davebear on October 07, 2019, 11:24:31 am
Shaheen now pretty much officially looks like just another guy.  He'd better block well or I would rather see a guy like Dan Brown replace him.

Not sure why Burton looks so sluggish unless he is not recovered.  Should be able to tell after the bye.

According to all the media experts, the Raiders have a much bigger OL than most so they could power our smaller DL especially w/o Hicks.
They were also cut blocking which really intimidated Goldman especially.  They were only called once.

According to the SCORE, the Patriots tried to sign Alex Bars off our practice squad last week and the Bears gave him a roster salary and persuaded him to stay.  Good move by Pace.  My guess is they want more time to coach him up and see him replacing Long.

Long needs to sit for as long as it take to get healthy, he's ineffective now.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: guest118 on October 07, 2019, 11:27:35 am
Long just has had too many major injuries. It catches up with these guys. Steve McMichael once said the every play for offensive and defensive lineman is like a car crash. It's pretty brutal. He had a good run. 3 Pro Bowls.

Dennis Gentry... fixed it!  I miss seeing him play.  Cohen needs to be on the field during 3rd and longs, occasionally in the slot, etc.  Nagy reminds me of a coach that has certain players he wants to play and forgets the other ones until there is like 2 minutes left.

Bears QBs like to go to the same couple of receivers game after game.  Hard to argue since Robinson is so successful.  But notice with Gabriel out more balls went to Miller.  But the #3 receiver (Wims) is ignored just as Miller was when he was #3.

But I can't fault the passing game too much, considering the Bears had their backup Daniel and he had absolutely no help from the run game and was in must pass situations most of the game.

If the Bears D could have shut down the run game they could have contended with the short passing game.  But with the short game accuracy of Carr AND the running game - Bears pass defenders were exposed.

Tarik Cohen averaged 4.3 yards his rookie year.  4.5 last year.  This year 2.2.

hard to run downhill when you're in the shotgun every freaking play. Running plays from the shotgun just take too long to develop. They also tend to be between the tackles. Cohen would be used on pitch outs around the ends on another team.

Hard to run period, esp when your QB locks in on one receiver and rarely throws the ball down the field.

Bears took turbisky for the measurable, from my viewing of him, he's just playing like a guy who hasnt been on the field that much. 1 year of college doesn't get you close to ready for the NFL.

Trevathian didn't have a good game Sunday - maybe we don't re-sign him based on Sunday.  And what about Eddie Jackson - he hasn't done too much all season - should we give him a big contract at year end?.  Eddie Goldman got steam rolled Sunday - should we replace him too?

Floyd is the least of our problems.

Our offensive line is sh*t, I am talking like bottom of the league bad.  They cannot run or pass block.  K. Long needs to retire.  Leno needs to be replaced.  Whitehair has been playing like he did not deserve the big extension.  Massie is less than average.

How could someone even evaluate our running back situation?  Literally there has been no holes to run through.  I do not even think it is fair to judge the QB play with this line.

We definitely got some other problems but until you fix up front, its really hard to judge the rest.  Build the trenches!

If I were a GM in the NFL.  I would draft an Oline/Dline every draft.

The referee issue (lack of competency of said officials)  reared its ugly head in the Packers/Lions game last night on the national stage for sure.

Officials need to call what they actually see... not what they THINK they see. Keep the flag in the pocket otherwise.....

The Lions had their chances... I had the feeling when that TE had the ball pop out of his hands in the 1st half that should've been the TD and the Lions had to settle for a FG that it was all she wrote.... but I never would've guessed the refs would be the main culprit.....

Not a good look for the NFL (not that they really seem to care, money making machine that they are) but kind of expected with all the incompetent Al Riverons employed in  crucial roles in the organization.....

But Lions will LOLOLIONS tho for sure......

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn’t shedding any tears for the Lions after Monday night’s game.

The Lions were victimized by the officials repeatedly — two phantom illegal hands to the face penalties on Detroit’s Trey Flowers, an uncalled pass interference and a flag for a helmet-to-helmet hit on a Lions defensive back who was just diving for the ball — but Rodgers thinks the Packers have had their share of bad calls go against them too.

According to Matt Schneiderman of TheAthletic.com, Rodgers smirked when asked if he thinks the Packers caught breaks with bad officiating.

“I think it equals out pretty good over the years,” Rodgers said.

Nagy is the return of trestman.  You can't tell me that D was putting max effort out there today.  I think he's lost the team and we just saw the first signs of it in the last two games.

I saw a few players completely dogging it.  Robinson not blocking on other receivers catches.  Jackson jogging around out there.  Neither Nagy or Trubisky trust each other.  Refusing to even attempt to run the ball is a guaranteed loss every week.

Any sports coach or manager is supposed to put their players in the best position to succeed.  Nagy, being the horrible coach that he is, is not doing that.

Mitch is very inexperienced.  There are a few things that he does well right now and a lot that he doesn't.  Why does C u n t B o y call plays that Mitch is not good at?

The fact is that most of the great QBs in the NFL have been doing this for a long, long time.

Nagy sucks and must go.

I agree with the blow back on Pace.  I have firmly supported Pace since he started, but I think we are starting to see his team emerge.

Obviously the QB draft situation.  Moving up to take Trubusky, when you could have held tight and had at least two of the three Trubusky, Mahommes and Watson to choose from. 

I always felt that John Fox was forced on him.  However when we took Nagy after KC losses playoff game and most experts said he called a pretty bad game as OC it was a head scratcher. 

Losing Vic F. is looking more and more like it was a bigger deal than most realized. 

Also iron sharpens iron.  Our OL is so bad, I think it left our coaches with the impression that the DL was more stout than it is....when you practice every day against a weak opponent....you become weak.

If I were ownership, I would tell Pace he better send the message that if the ship does not get corrected heads are going to roll, starting with his.

The score was 12-10 starting the 3rd quarter.  The defense allowed the Saints to move down the field in methodical fashion and then Ginn catches the long one.  The defense looks completely different without Hicks on the field and no one is making the impact.  I understand the offense is a mess, but a great defense should be able to lock down a team with a back-up QB and one main option at receiver.  Lack of pressure and lack of turnovers being created.

I agree with Griz, the D is just as much to blame, they gave up 36 pts yesterday.  Ok, Hicks is a big part of the line, but still where was Fuller or Eddie Jackson or Dix or Roquan making plays?  Um, they werent.  How many turn overs?  They are dogging it on D.  Not sure if that is on Pagano or what.  How many times was Bridgewater hit/rushed/sacked yesterday?  And I hate to say it, but  Mack had a second quiet game in a row.  Maybe he is hurt, who knows.

Well, that was not totally suprising considering the vibes since the Raiders game.....

Team was on a knife edge of either getting back its mojo or falling off a cliff. Looks like the cliff won....

I knew they were in trouble when Nagy had Cohen run up the middle on the 1st offensive play of the game. And Nagy says he self-scouted over the bye. Now that's a double load horseshit for sure......

Historical note: Only the Bears could trade UP to get the worst of the QBs that (at least 2 of the 3) would've been there with their next pick regardless...

Seen enough of Miller and Cohen. Think where they would be offensively without Robinson (They would be the 1st team to offensive rank 33rd in a 32 team league  ;D)

Bears have a motivational coach not a Head coach leading this team. Not sure he can get it turned around. Bad vibes coming out of Halas Hall.....

They will win a few more games this season but in the end will fail.... like 31 other teams to not win the SB :D

Each season is a story and as usual, the Bears season is a tragic-comic drama....

Only 7 rushes???? always = LOSS

We have no run game. We have like 3rd string runningbacks......it's horrific. If Montgomery were on another team he would have been cut. Mike Davis is horrible and Cohn is smurf wide receiver.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on October 21, 2019, 01:12:36 pm

Not much to add.  I was fearful that the Saint' offensive line could be the difference in the game, even with Brees and Kamara out.   I know we're down on the D but offense had so many 3 and outs, they get tired and disillusioned.

The plays that really killed us on defense were the Bridgewater scrambles where he just barely picked up 1st downs. 

Our defensive backfield is somewhat overrated.  They look good with a solid pass rush but when left on their own they get exposed.  Has Eddie Jackson made a play this year? 

Offensively, the run/pass ratio is out of whack.  Nagy gave up on it way too early, probably after the Montgomery fumble (which they didn't score on after the missed field goal). 

Here's some receiving stats:  Taylor Gabriel  1 for 6    Trey Burton 2 for 11  Tarik  Cohen 9 for 19
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

This is a make or break game.. Lose and the season is pretty much over, win and the team can at least act like things are better.. Unless Rogers gets hurt there is no way of catching the pack (unless they just fall apart, don't count on it). The Bears are playing for a wild card.

Roquan Smith on that one 10 yard catch actually tackled the guy with the ball for the first down, and on the TD he did the same thing.  Um, dude try and drive the guy with the ball BACKWARDS!!! 

As far as the O, sad, really sad.  Nagy is trying to get too cute, and frankly he is a moron.  Try and do the simple stuff, and do it correctly.  Glad to see Montgomery at least get some runs, he is all that is working.  3 possessions inside the 10 two inside the 5 and we cant score a TD?  And that clown car last play, they are lucky they even got the FG off.  This is pathetic.  If we lose today, the entire season is over.

My thoughts on the game:

Coward was bad.  Multiple penalties and missed assignments.  I hope Larsen is healthy or Bars is ready.

Mitch looked like an NFL quality quarterback.  Not a good one, but he was adequate.  He can't throw the deep ball, he'll never be a decent starter until he can.  His decision making was better and he didn't look like he was playing scared.  My fear is that now that the high expectations are gone he'll play just well enough to convince Pace and Nagy that they should give him another year.

Massie got beat when it counted.  They need to start looking for his and Leno's replacement next year.

Coverage wasn't good.  Pass rush wasn't good.  Chargers recievers helped the bears out with some timely drops.

Bears might get a 4th round pick by cutting Davis.  Time to make that move.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: BillSharp on October 27, 2019, 06:23:02 pm
looking at the highlights I noticed one play - a handoff to Cohan where he was hit almost before he got the ball. Reviewing the play it looked like Whitehair didn't know what the play was & Leno just decided to take the play off. Really weird.

Thought the biggest play was the Trubisky fumble, looked like he just dropped the ball without being hit.

Not having a TE hurts. Not having a fullback hurts the short yardage plays.

He has had what 5 years now?  Last year it looked like he had us on the right track.  However this season has been bad, really really bad.  Its his hand picked coaching staff and his draft picks.  If he just stays the course for the rest of the season and into next season and we stink next year early on.  Ownership better fire the whole darn crew.

I really hate changing GM's because it really does signal a true start over.  So IMO Pace has some tough work to do fast.   He needs to figure out what is so wrong and how to fix it.  If that means firing the whole coaching staff, I think that he should do it.  Problem is you better have someone great that you can recruit.

Chifan is exactly right.We have never enjoyed having a true franchise QB in our lifetimes. I started following the Bears in 1966. That is pathetic. Let's hire a true QB evaluator as a GM. We could have had Mahommes,instead we trade multiple draft picks to draft a guy who only started one year at the college level. And the tape was not all that inspiring.

Watching the Chiefs/Packers game.  We supposedly run the same offense as the Chiefs.

I have seen some amazing designed plays from the Matt Moore led Chiefs.  Where did that creativity go from the Bears offense?

If it is because our players aren't executing then why not?  Why haven't they been coached up to execute?  I am as upset as everyone else but I am not ready to fire Nagy, Pace and dump Trubisky and start all over again.

Might as well try and get **** fixed this season so we are ready to roll next season.  How do they do that though?

Where are the designed roll outs we had last year?  It buys time and let's the defense expand which allows the dump offs to go for big yards.  Right now the dump offs aren't getting anything.  another option is having the tackle line up wide this tends to make the DE go inside.  When he does Trubisky would have time to move to his right with lot's of time.  The Pckers do this all the time with Rodgers especially when he needs to go deep.

I think we need Trubisky under center a lot more.  I am not saying no shotguns but let's get it closer to 50% of the time.  Like keeping the run/pass ratio near 50% I believe under center and in shotgun should be the same.  It gives the defense more to prepare for and worry about.

I don't want Patterson lined up as a RB.  If you want him to run the ball do it from the WR position.  He should only be lined up at RB if we have lost two RB's and need the help.


Add a few plays a game the defense hasn't seen to keep them honest.  I feel like the offense is way to predictable right now.

Coach our players to get up the field.  I hate that our offensive players seem to always either have to go down to the ground to get the ball or jump for it.  We rarely see them catch it in stride and when we do they run east and west instead of north/south.

Slant, slants and more slants.  It is a staple play because it is a high percentage successful play.

Anyone else have any thoughts besides fire everyone?  :)

Matt Nagy has no business on a NFL sideline.  He is altogether incompetent.  He MUST be fired immediately.

Ryan Pace has shown the ability to identify and acquire talent.  He should stay.

Mitchell Trubisky is an extremely talented and extremely inexperienced quarterback.  He should stay and be developed with a legitimate NFL head coach and a quality offensive line.

This is almost the season we should have had last season.  Quarterback taking his lumps, Nagy making a bonehead decision that costs the game.  Last season went too smooth.  For all his flaws, Trubisky led the team down the field again to put the team in place for the win, and kicker shanks it.  Overall, this was a much better balance though as Pekin points out, many of our plays were easily diagnosed.

  Where are the designed roll outs we had last year? 
Exactly what I was saying. They keep going into shotgun and it's not helping Mitch. He needs to roll out where his mobility can be used.
They need to ditch the ignorant receiver in the backfield garbage, it ain't working.
Trubisky is turning into Grossman. Too many turnovers, and stupid ones. He also is not seeing the open receivers well. And they are getting open.
Nagy's terrible play calling hurts the team. Stop with the sideline routes already! Push the ball downfield! And on the friggin goalline, get UNDER the center with a RB in the backfield and that allows the RB to get some steam. Shotgun is ridiculous here, especially with a empty backfield. Just baffling goal line nonsense. On one attempt, two recievers didn't run a route, one did. That leaves two options, one reciever running one route...and Trubisky, running it. Stupid play calls result in losses.
Letting the clock run out is Trestman part two. Or Wanny 'line up for the FG' crap. Dumb and dumber ****.....

And not to pile on, but Trubisky has been throwing down low, almost into the dirt.  Hit the WR in stride so he can get some YAC.

To unfortunately quote Porky Pig "thats a a a a all Folks".....

We can **** on the D but they gave up only enough points that with a competent NFLoffense would have made this a Bears win. (you hold a team under 20 points in a league where the average per game score is generally over that)....

Enough Cohen side to side. Enough with Patterson at RB (and why the **** is he always running out of the endzone on kickoffs ? This Offense is so putrid that 5 yard difference between the 20 and 25 is magnified)......

Fire Helfrich, Tabor, Heistand and move on. Especially the Hiestand. The Oline is a joke and only keeps getting worse. He was supposed to be a good Oline coach. WTH happened to him ?

Ditch the RPO. Trubisky is too stupid (or slow mentally) to run it. The Oline is too incompetent to block for it. Run max protect every play and run/pass from it. Results couldn't be much worse....

Dump useless players (Shaheen, Davis) and try someone (anyone) from the practice squad. Hell, one of those electronic remote dummies they use for practice would be better than either of those 2 stiffs.

Two questions I'd have liked to as Nagy after the game:

"Was it an option to run up the middle with no timeouts just before the end of the 1st half ? And if so WHY was it even an option ?"

"Why with a TO in your pocket do you take a knee at the end of the game for the FG attempt when you can instead run that stupid play you ran at the end of the 1st half and at least gain 1/2 yard ?"

Oh and check the drinking water coming into Halas Hall for heavy metals........
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Sportster on October 28, 2019, 08:38:03 am
Heistand def has to go. This line is simply terrible and it ain't improving. And I agree on the other firings as well. There has to be accountability with a mess like this.
Also agree with the RPO. Yesterday was exhibit one on that having to go. Almost had a turnover attempting it on one go.
Cohen has been a mess as well. How many times is this kid going to catch a kicked ball inside the 10yrd line? He didn't do it yesterday but has all season long. And his sideline to sideline runs instead of north/south show a lack of coaching and accountability. Try that with Belichick and your butt would be riding the pine for a week or more.
I'm just going to keep agreeing with you on Shaheen and Davis, both of whom are worthless. Shaheen was a terrible waste of a pick from the get go. You NEVER get a 'project' with a 2nd round pick! This is where you get someone who can immediately help the team. Another blown pick from Pace.
And Nagys play calling is most definitely suspect.

To take a look at where this franchise has gone since winning SB 20, all you have to do is look at the goddamn Patriots. It may be blasphemy but If we could go back in time and take a blow out loss for the sustained success they've had since then (some ups and downs but more ups that us) I'd take that in a skinny minute....

I understand why Nagy let the clock run at the end of the game rather than trying to get a few more yards. This was a 43 yarder, obviously not a gimme. Why not (as someone already mentioned) run the same stupid play you ran at the end of the first half, or anything, never know, maybe get another 5 yards. Of course, Pineiro missed a 32 yarder earlier.. Fukking train wreck... Meanwhile, Packers are 7-1.. Fukk!!!!
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

Wasn’t Heistand our Oline coach a few years ago when our line was pretty good? Seems like he took Olin Kreutz, John Tait and a bunch of nobodies and that team ended up in the Super Bowl. Wasn’t our oline pretty good last year? Something like 2 pro bowlers? The first time we had two pro bowl oline members since.....2006 when he was here last time.

I cannot understand how you take an offense that should be better than it was a year ago and stink this bad. Heistand swapped 2 guys to their more natural positions and Long is on IR like he has been like the past 4 seasons.

Maybe Daniels just can’t pick up the reads or something like Whitehair could, I dunno but they shouldn’t be this bad.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

Maybe they should put Whitehair back at center. I'd give it a shot, heck, at this point. Right now that line is a dumpster fire with no direction or evidently blocking skills or assignments. They ran blocked better yesterday but they could not get the ball in on a poor run defense team at the goal line. Inexcusable.

Yes he did.  He caught one at the 2 yard line and ran it back to the 30 or something like that.  That is probably why you don't remember.  Patterson keeps running kickoffs out of the endzone as well.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Grizzlybear34 on October 30, 2019, 06:23:47 am
This team is not bereft of talent, unlike former Bear's teams.  The defense is missing Hicks, perhaps the scheme is just a bit passive or at a minimum, I don't see Eddie Jackson on the screen because he is 20 yards off the line of scrimmage.  The offensive mess starts with Nagy, and his stubbornness to play his brand of football and not taking the pieces he has and making those work.  Mitch is flawed, but as he showed this past Sunday, he can make the throws.  All QB's miss throws, and the long ball was critical, but watch any game and you will see QBs missing throws. Mitch shows flashes.  It is Nagy's job to turn that into consistency and throw out the library.

Now is the time to grind.  Go 1-0.  Then try to go 1=0 again.  I am not saying a miracle is in this team, but this isn't like watching the hapless teams of Trestman before we took the field.

That's just the thing, though....how does this get turned around?? It isn't a dearth of talent, it's....I don't know what's causing this honestly. Attitude or lack of? Laziness? What causes a offensive line to suddenly look like the keystone kops, blocking themselves instead of the opponent?? How does Trubisky end up playing worse and not improving?? Why does Nagy call stupid play calls at the worst times?? It just seems like they're going through the motions out there. It's baffling. We're supposed to have a offensive line mastermind in Heistand. Where is he and why isn't his line playing right?? I just don't get this....  One thing I would try, though, is putting the line back to where it was last season, with Whitehair under center. Maybe the center is calling the wrong scheme. Somethings gotta change here...

I really think that this falls on Nagy.  His play calling stinks.  Look at that third quarter TD drive.  9 out of 13 plays run from the I formation.  TD.  Did you see all 5 OL surround Nagy after the TD and tell him to keep it up?  Then what did he do?  No I formation, and run from shotgun.  Dude, try not to get cute, dont try and force the players to do what they dont do well.  They get pisssed off, and stop trying, and when the O is ineffective, the D senses it and they stop trying.  Look at Macks production the last 3 games.  And Eddie Jackson who has been invisible.  Just call the plays the players can execute, and dont get all cutesy with Santas Sleigh and all that other craap.

Agreed, but I think it says more to me that Nagy has it in his mind of how it should work.  He may go to his coaching grave if he doesn't figure it out and coach this team to win and do what they do best.  You don't take the ingredients to make a chocolate cake and use them to prepare a western omelet.  The I formation was working.  Your line loves it, and your qb looks more comfortable.  You score a td and then you go away from it.  You try to make a western omelet.

They can not do anything right?  He has time and Trubisky delivers the ball for what should of been a first down and Robinson steps out of bounds.  WTF?


Everyone taking turns **** up!  The penalties, the time of possession.  Not a single first down by the offense.

Ok the roughing the passer call was BS, and no OPI on Ertz TD was worse.  He had his hand of FUllers facemask AND pushed off.  I thought we were playing the fudge Pack for a minute, as the refs seem to want the Eagles to win.  No not want, DO want them to win.  Trubisky sucks hard, but the OL is just horrific, and Nagy the brilliant mind, is just as bad.  Oh and the overthrow pass to Cohen?  Yeah the shortest guy on the team.  And can we cut Cohen, as I am done with his bs, all around.  This is going to be a loss, and the team has quit on Nagy and his rah rah bs, and frankly Pagano has lost the D.

Eddie Jackson let's Howard go right by him after he makes the late hit.

Trestman Jr has lost the team.  All the penalties and the lack of effort is players giving up on him.  Pace and Trestman Jr are probably going to stink it up again next year before we can be rid of these clowns.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on November 03, 2019, 02:02:55 pm
You are right Cohen is being misused.  He is a valuable player if used right.  Line him and Montgomery up together in the backfield.  Then you can run inside or outside or send him out for a pass.

You can run Cohen up the middle just not in short yardage situations.  Even then only do it enough to keep the defense honest like once a game or on a draw.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on November 03, 2019, 02:20:01 pm
Slant routes are easy cheap yardage and the defense has to account for them which opens other things up.  There is a reason they are a staple of the west coast offense.

I am pissed that usually in this case I dont mind rooting for losses, but we dont even get to benefit from it with a first round pick.  I lose Trubisky, Nagy, and Pagano, but that wont happen.  Maybe they sacrifice Pagano after the season, but still you got numbnuts Nagy calling plays on O.  And Heistand?  Yeah I fire him midseason.

  I didn't see the game,but,looking at the box score Trubisky threw for 125 yards. WTF. That's Bear's 1960s stats when they hardly ever threw. We have a great defense and a lot more weapons on offense than we did last year. You just need to get them the ball. This basically comes down to management. We've ignored OT for way to long. Pace screwed the pooch on the Trubisky selection. Tell Pace to buy a toupee with some brains!

@ London -- The last time I was angry about a loss this season.
v. Saints -- Season over.  Unsubscribed most of my Bears podcasts to keep my blood pressure stable lost all remaining hope for Trubisky.  The better team dominated and should have won by 40+
v. Chargers -- Even if the Bears won, you knew this team has been exposed as a non playoff fraud

 In this draft trade way up with a team that's in need of a QB (Cinny or Miami). Trade Trubisky ,Roquan Smith and next year's 1st rounder so we can select Joe Burrow,QB from LSU. I say this cuz a lot of times people think a change of scenery will make a difference.

Pace can't admit that he fukked up with the trestman Jr hire and the Trubisky pick.  If he does the right thing and moved on from that garbage combo, he'd be on his way out too.  He can't even admit the Davis mistake and cut the guy for a free 4th rounder.  Even paces late round gems like Jackson and Cohen are actually starting to look like they are one season wonders.

TruBustski for sure is a headcase. But I think is Nagy too. Bears get what they get when they hire a motivational coach instead of a bona-fide NFL coach.....

As the team circles the drain (with a little help from the officiating- which is truly beyond awful and just not in this game) there are so many questions and so few answers to be had....

But hey, look at the bright side... the rest of Division lost today (although none were as pathetic looking offensively).....

Still a long way to go to endure this lost season. Do they continue to auger this baby into the ground or maybe level out somehow ? I don't want to look but its like a train wreck- I just can't look away...

So the refs have an ax to grind against the Bears.  Multiple bad calls.  And Nagys play calling, bad as well.  When I heard Stafford was out I thought easy win.  It will be anything but.  I have zero confidence in this game.  And their QB is getting rid of the ball quick, but come on man, Mack is just dogging it out there, when he isnt getting held. 
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on November 10, 2019, 01:33:57 pm
Oh and those low snaps, that was the problem with WHitehair last year.  We are just cursed.  We need to build the trenches, on BOTH sides of the ball.  And I mean a lot.  And it is too funny that Braunecker got that TD, instead of our stud pass catching TE Burton.  But then again you know how I feel about Burton.

Man it seemed like we were playing the fudge pack with the refs today.  Are you freaking kidding me?  Of course dumb ass Nagy cant put anything together to run the clock out, and our D just shiit the bed.  AND YES where the HELLL is our gazzillion dollar Mack been?  Like how many games in a row, 5???  He is checked out or hurt or something, and frankly I dont like it.  Happy for a win I guess, but dont have any confidence at all. 
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on November 10, 2019, 03:15:03 pm
It would have been nice if Nagy would have continued to build up Mitchs confidence by you know actually calling some stuff that worked in the 4th quarter, but alas he has to prove he is smarter than everyone else, and also totally incompetent.  Jackass.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: octagon on November 10, 2019, 03:24:47 pm
Oline was still bad.  Montgomery is a stud.  Probably the second best weapon they have on offense.  I'd love to see what he could do with a competent offensive line blocking for him.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: octagon on November 10, 2019, 03:29:05 pm
Kwiatkowski was great today.  I can't recall trevathon having as impactful game this year.  I would think trevathon is done for the year, kwit stepping up was huge.  I was wrong on kwit , he is giving us solid play.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on November 10, 2019, 03:32:32 pm
Kwit has definitely improved this year.  However a good TE will abuse him in the passing game.

I really believe a lot of our O-lines problem is the blocking scheme.  They were drafted to be power I run blockers and now they want them zone blocking and they suck at it.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on November 10, 2019, 03:48:22 pm
I hope the offense learned something today and turned a corner.  If they can play like they did from the end of the 2nd quarter through the 3rd quarter for all 4 quarters we would have something.

The defenses have stacked the box and sat on the short and underneath routes.  The intermediate to deep throws should be there like they were today.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: octagon on November 10, 2019, 03:50:12 pm
Yeah, kwit is slow so he's always going to struggle in coverage.  But I think he's the best tackler on the team by a wide margin.  I also think he is a good pass rusher from the middle of the field.  Trevathon and Smith get caught up in traffic going up field a lot.  Kwiatkowski bulls into blockers and at the very least collapses the pocket.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on November 10, 2019, 03:51:37 pm
Yes he is strong and explodes into blockers.  Saw him blow up some blockers a few times today.

I'd still be looking for a QB. Tru even when he has time isn't accurate enough to be a NFL QB. He misses too many open recievers seeing them and then trying to throw to them, even with time. He makes a few good throws then a few head scratchers. I'd move on from him, definitely....enoughs enough....

Sad part is Pace and Trestman Jr are going to be back next year.  They'll mortgage the bears future in a desperate attempt to keep their jobs.

3:33 left in 3rd quarter, 3rd & 1, and Bears line up in a pistol formation, Trubisky 5 yds behind line of scrimmage, RB 3 & a half yds behind the QB.

3rd & 1, it's a running play and the RB is less than a foot short of 9 yds behind the line of scrimmage!

Just watched the highlights & couldn't believe it.

Leno then misses his block & Montgomery is killed.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: hibernationsuxs on November 18, 2019, 05:01:50 am
All I can say is Wow!  Not only does our team completely suck due to lack of Oline talent but more importantly coaching....that fiasco with 3 minutes left was ridiculous.

Now let me start with I am not a Mitch Trubisky fan.  I believe he is not the long term answer at QB.  However he played one of his better games of the season yesterday.  With absolutely one of the worst Olines this season, if not the worst he was making some plays.  Did we put Daniels in to show how bad our Oline really was, because if so that worked.

Here is the problem.  I think we are very poorly coached on many levels.  It is reflected in the teams performance and effort.  If you think we need a coaching change, then we definitely need a GM change.  I gave Pace a pass on John Fox, he was new a job and the Bears pretty much made him hire Fox.  However Nagy was all Pace, just as was Trubisky and the other draft picks the last 5 years. 

Drafting up to take Trubisky is looking like the dumbest move ever.  I think Pace is over his head.  Gotta wonder since Vic Fangio left how things have seemingly gone south in a hurry.  There are some serious issues to fix that go way beyond the talent level, because we know the defense has the talent to be elite. 

Benching Mitch with 3 minutes left just made absolutely no sense.  Bone headed move, by bone headed coach, hired by a bone headed management.  Blahhhhh.  Terrible.

Post by: boogie on November 18, 2019, 08:28:27 am
Well the good news is that I went to bed at halftime.  The bad news is that I taped the second half and will watch it.  So we need ANOTHER new QB, but if we bring in Marriota or Cam Newton or anyone else, will they be any better behind our putrid OL, running Nagys dumbass schemes?  And this is what I think is going to happen, we will give Pace and Nagy 1 more year, and we will do just enough, so that we renew their contracts and are stuck with them.  What we should do is blow the whole thing up and start over, but who has confidence in the Bears getting the right people?  I know I dont.

Just finished watching the game.  Glad to see Mack show up.  The O Line sucks so hard it isnt funny.  Sounds sad that Massie with a high ankle sprain is a GOOD thing.  Mitch didnt suck as bad as he has, and although he was limping for a little bit, he seemed fine.  Cohen, I would trade for a bag of potato chips, regular and not even bbq. 

If Driskol is out tom, do we make the 3rd string QB look like the second coming of Peyton Manning?   Or Driskol for that matter?  The Lions are pretty bad, we SHOULD win, but I am not confident at all.

Nagy goes for it on a fourth and takes so long making the call/decision that the offense can't get lined up.  The guy is in way over his head.

Post by: chifaninva on November 28, 2019, 06:59:08 pm
Trubisky plays much better when it's the last 2 minutes of each half.

How about Detroit's QB? The bears made him look like the next coming of Joe Montana.. We should've smoked these guys. But then again, this is the Bears we're talking about.. Our defense is really not playing that well.. The whole team is mistake ridden..

The one thing I keep noticing. Kickoffs, punt returns, receiver, QB, no one runs up field. It seems as if everyone runs sideline to sideline.. So many times, just run up the field and they would've gotten the first down.. Unreal!!

Post by: boogie on November 29, 2019, 08:41:08 am
So our D made an undrafted 3rd string qb look like Troy Aikman.  He wasnt touched at all in the first half, and no pressure.  Where was the Mack feeding frenzy?  Lame.  That unnecessary roughness penalty on Roquan out of bounds was super lame.  The noncall helmet to helmet hit on Trubisky was total BS, although to his credit he did seem to play better after that shot.  It was nice to see some long passes actually completed.  No matter what Leno needs to go next year, and he can have Massie help him.  Glad for the win, but I just kept thinking at the end how the D was letting them march right down the field.  If we were playing anyone else besides the Lions, we lose that game.

U blame 100% Chuck Pagano....his soft D created this - no pressure. We do miss Akiem Hicks - you can't double team Hicks and Mack.

Hoping that Pagano found something in the blitz packages.  It took him 12 games, but he finally started sending Roquan.  It seemed that Fangio last year had a better plan for him.  We are still a top defense, but these lapses are disturbing

Cowboys are a bad matchup for the bears.
23-17 cowboys.  A touchdown drive in garbage time makes the final score look a little more respectable.

Bears need a special teams or defensive touchdown to win imo.

Outstanding game, best of the year. They'll win next week playing like this, IF they play like this. This game had so much to like- Trubisky finally running again which made a HUGE difference-the TE's two of them making huge plays, the line finally figuring out how to run block, Nagy taking chances downfield. It all shockingly came together in one explosive game.
Gotta love it!

It will be interesting at the end of the year, when decisions and cuts are made.  Would love to hear the inside intel of what happened with Mitch in late November/December.  was it a natural progression or did Nagy take the reins off of him?  Was he coached to not run, or di he just start using his legs.  We aren't hearing a peep out of the lockeroom now, but would love to know what the truth is.

I can handle the truth!

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Bears4Ever on December 06, 2019, 07:47:02 am
Well, the answer it this game was the end of the beginning of the Nagy era.....

From here on out its time to see what he really brings and how this team responds...

FWIW:
0. That Eddie P FG miss in warmups looked bad. Complete shank with the camera behind him. He saw the camera and gave a sheepish, nervous smile. Glad he didn't let it get to his head....

1. It looked bad that 1st drive for Dallas. It lasted BAD for the D and took forever and was longest drive (in time) any time has given up a score on all season  ? You've got to be **** kidding me.....

2. After they got smacked in the mouth, the team responded and promptly hit themselves in the face with that INT at the 1 yard line. I was like WTF was Mitch doing ? It was like he took the middle ground between throwing it away or into the back corned of the end zone and did neither. Glad to see it didn't phase him.

3. After the 1st 2 drives, the Bears took control for most of the rest of the game. It was like Dallas said "OK we scored. We're done. On to next week".

4. The D was missing a few parts (and I think will be missing more this week) and gave up some **** late in the game, but generally held their own against a very good statistical Offense...

5. It was kind of fun hearing Aikman get more and more dejected as the game went on. Almost as fun as the game itself....

6. I think Prescott hurt his hand hitting Mack's helmet in the 2nd Qtr. His throws were a little off for the rest of the game. Another thing Mack does that is not in the statistics....

7. Thank God for Allen Robinson. The Man Can Play. Ball.....

8. Miller is an aggravating player. He makes plays that make you go "**** Yeah" and in the same drive "WTF was that ?". He catches that ball for a 1st down and the Cowboys probably don't score more than 14...

9. I hope Wims is ok. He's gotten the shaft on offense blocking penalties. Speaking of penalties, since when have face-mask calls been outlawed ?

10. Where the Holtz has he been ? ' Nuff said.....

11. Good to see Mitchell run the ball... and well. Same with Montgomery (the fumble notwithstanding).....

12. I think Nagy was more mad himself for the trick play that went bad because even HE can't deny it was stupid and should not have been called. Maybe he's learning ? Then again....

This team still needs to learn how to put the other team away (not sure it ever will) but a win is a win. Rarely does a team go -2 in the turnover department and win convincingly like it did. The final score did not reflect the domination of Dallas.....

Go Bears. Keep chopping wood and building on this. Please.....

I thought Tolliver held his own pretty much.  Piere-Louis filled in pretty well for Roquan.  Leno still suucks and I would replace Charles Leno with Jay Leno in a heart beat if I could.  It is great to see Mitch using his legs, and hopefully Nagy has realized the error in coaching Mitch to NOT run.  I was mildly nervous at the end of the game, as they started to go prevent and gave up the TD.  And WTF on the missed facemask calls?  I guess it will be good prep for playing the fudge packers, as you know they are going to get phantom calls and no calls for the bears, but still.

Good game.. Trubisky looked confident. He threw the int early on and he didn't let it get in his head. I'm still holding out hope for Mitch. How can anyone judge a QB or RB with a horrendous O line.

Green Bay has to be a little worried. They aren't exactly killing right now.

We need Minny to choke the rest of the way and the lambs to tank...

The Packers (9-3) only need to lose against the Bears.  We need them to beat the Vikings.  Their other games make no difference to the Bears since the Packers are likely the division winner.  The Vikings and Rams are the two teams the Bears need to lose while the Bears keep winning to get the last wild card spot.   

Bears (7-6) have Packers, Chiefs and Vikings left.  A tall order to win all three but that is what it will likely take (10-6).  Although if everything fell right they might get in at 9-7.  The Vikings game is a must win no matter what.

Vikings (8-4) have  Lions, Chargers, Packers and Bears.  They could definitely drop one maybe two games besides the Bears game.  If they drop two the Bears might even lose one game and still get in but have to beat the Vikings.

If the Bears end up with the same record as the Vikings the Bears would have the tie breaker since they already beat them once.

Rams (7-5) have Seahawks, Cowboys, 49ers and Cardinals.  They could easily drop two games still or even three.

I liked Neal Anderson (not so much Forte) but neither of them had the ability to move a pile of tacklers the way Montgomery.  Roland Harper did, but he didn't play after Payton.

Of course, the mark of a truly great running back includes the ability to perform over a long career.  That is why I believe that Gale Sayers, the best running back I have ever seen, did not last long enough to be considered truly great.

Forte would be exactly what Nagy needs in this offense.  But I do like Montgomery's effort to move the pile and break tackles.  Something Forte lacked.  But his ability to catch the ball, his height, he was a true receiving weapon.

Interesting discussion point.  Payton had every tool, but lacked a top gear.  Barry Sanders had the top gear and every move in the book, but was a liability as a blocker, and so so in the passing game. 

Every great running back likely lacked something, one tool.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on December 07, 2019, 11:42:12 pm

First of all, it was the Cowboys defense.  Still pleased with the outcome.

I've been asking this for weeks - why has Trubisky not been running.  Bears offense was not a juggernaut last year - you can't just take that away unless you get huge production from the run game.    I know his shoulder was messed up but he seems to know when to slide or run out of bounds.  This game he was turning up field moreso than not.

Bears finally have been getting production out of TE.  But for weeks, they trot Burton out there and got absolutely nothing.  If the guy was hurt he needed to be IRd.   We have no idea what Shaheen can do - might not ever find out.  Now Bears are playing free agents and non-drafted rookies and surprising teams who are most likely ignoring them on pass plays. 

Pass rush has almost totally disappeared.  Mack is not getting double teamed that much.  Just not getting the sacks.  He's trying just coming up short.  If Akeem Hicks can be about 80% - it could be huge.

Glad we kept Kwiatowski.  But this JPP may be better.  Given 10 days he may even learn the playbook against the Pack.

Solid offensive tackle play against the Cowboys.  #73 didn't get called out for any penalties.   It will be interesting what the Bears do with him vs Massie.  Big challenge coming against the Smith brothers in Green Bay.



Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on December 07, 2019, 11:47:31 pm

And my nomination for play of the game was the swing pass to Patterson to the left.  He turned nothing into a nice gain - awesome individual effort.

Trubisky needs to keeps drive alive with his legs.  Means more balls to our other receivers like Wims, Patterson and Ridley...and the no name TEs, and Montgomery. 

Still doesn't look good for the playoffs.  The Charger, Ram and Eagle games has pretty much forced Bears to win out and they'll probably need help too.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Grizzlybear34 on December 08, 2019, 05:52:22 am
Dallas - Good to see you back.  JPP?  You mean KPL?  I love what we are seeing out of the tight ends.  I don't care how we finally got here, but it is one of the missing elements all season.  What is interesting is to see what we have in Horsted.  If he does become the real deal, the fact that we left him on the practice squad for really any team to swipe - and the didn't - could be a huge key the rest of this season and next.  He appears to be a larger version of Burton, and hopefully more durable.

I wasn't old enough to pay attention to Sayers until after his injury.

Too bad about Sayers knees - some of his knee injuries he had today he be out about 3 weeks. Modern medicine might have made Sayers the best NFL player ever. He also played in a time when the NFL was a lot dirtier - none of this flag football stuff.

He is a great guy - met him several times at charity events. He didn't like talking much about football - but the charity at hand - which was right.

I know he is not doing well right now physically. He had an extremely successful computer business.

I keep bringing this point up, but it falls on deaf ears when I do. Pace came to us out of New Orleans. So how does New Orleans keep protecting Brees? Do they invest a 1st rounder on OLine each

year? NO. They pick up players late in the draft, like Bill's demon Leno. And they mold talent. We dont seem to have success doing that. Check out the starting OLine for New Orleans and where or how

they were acquired. That will show you how good teams build OLines.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

So your position is Leno and Massie are not being coached properly.  That very well could be, but when you look at the mistakes they make, week in and week out, over and over, it might be between the ears instead of a physical issue. 
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: WshflThinking on December 12, 2019, 03:28:05 pm
They changed offensive line coaching systems with Hiestand. Part of the problem is the new system and the techniques he employs. A lot of it involves different techniques and skills and getting used

to those systems and techniques involved. What the problem is exactly, I dont know. But in my opinion the problem began with Hiestand and the new system. My guess is if Leno were to return to the

old system he would be fine. Maybe finding players that fit that scheme might be as easy to find. Its not about necessarily a higher draft position it appears to be adaptability. Its like Lucas he seems to

fit. It seems the whole left side is out of whack. And the Left tackle is the hardest to get right.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: WshflThinking on December 12, 2019, 04:02:44 pm
The other part of the equation here thats ignored is that Leno worked beutifully next to Daniels at LG, even made probowl. So in addition to the technique switch there was the position switch which is

IMHO the wrong move. LG could be the real problem. And LT is much more difficult to replace than LG.

I like the idea of moving Coward out to LT, or maybe Bars, sit Jay Leno, and play Larsen at RG.

No way in hell. Coward doesn't have the footwork to be a tackle, watch the tape, he's unsteady on his feet as a guard so he'll never make it as a tackle.

Catch how badly Lucas looked on this week's tape never lies? Just fell on his face a couple of times.

Daniels just gets overpowered. Big disappointment.

Nagy keeps running traps where he has the OL pulling all over the place, but our OL isn't athletic enough to make those kind of plays - you watch the tape and it looks like a freaking Chinese fire drill. He needs to quit the cute stuff, which even a good line would find difficult, and just play it straight.

Bears have gotten more out of Leno than anyone could have hoped for, he stinks, accept it.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019

I think they should spend 1 second on a tackle and look to FA for another.

I suspect Amakamura Dix and Trevathan will get offres more than they're worth so there will be roster work on defense.

Hiber - we are fine at kicker. Pinero will only get better. He is #1 with most touch backs. He has a super strong leg.

I agree.  The Bears were foolish to let Gould go.  I hope they keep Pinero and give him a chance to gain accuracy with experience.

Mitch was really inaccurate today, especially on what looked like easy throws.  He had more than a few that were in a clean pocket that he threw at the receivers feet or over their head.  GB probably left 2 or 3 interceptions on the field.

Mitch was subpar today.  Oline was awful.  Bears secondary had their worst game of the year.  Packers WRs actually let them off the hook with a few timely drops.

Glad to see Otto still around. Gotta have a village idiot in the land of idiots after all. The fact that he posted at all is proof he was scared :D

Well, the Bears did not disappoint (or rather, succeeded in disappointing). Par the normal for this franchise.....

Haven't watched the game in detail yet, but from someone not in the local market and seeing things though NFL redzone. It looked like Nagy forgot something.

 The Bears have 2 x 100 yard recievers in a game (a rarity if there was one) but no running game ? I didn't see Trubisky running at all (again it was Redzone which is the only place where they show Bears bad plays almost exclusively it seems. Seen more failed plays from them than any other team in the NFL).

Nagy takes an aggressive stands all game (all those poor 4th down tries) then goes for the **** FG? WTF

There is playing aggressive and just playing stupid. Nagy chose the latter. Just like with KC in the playoffs when he as OC....

I fear this team is just good enough to never be good enough....

Down on the Bears atm. Haven't seen the whole game yet but was not supprised by the outcome. If we have not realized it already, we are in football purgatory.....

1. thought replay showed Patterson in bounds on that catch at the Pack 2 yd line.

2. on the interference with catching the punt Patterson clearly hit him after he caught ball - but I don't know the rule. Do you have to give the receiver a certain space?

3. tackling by DBs bad.

4. Play calling bad. OL bad. Mitch needs a running game, but the OL can't provide it.

5. where the hell is Mack?

Patterson was in bounds, this is a fail on the part of Nagy. There was no fair catch called, therefore there was no foul against Patterson, but it's the Packers we were playing.
The biggest difference, other than the horrid Oline play all season, from this year to last is very little pass rush. Mack has completely disappeared. Going forward, is he worth all they're paying him? I would have to say no at this point.....

I believe all the rule states is that you can’t impede the return guy’s ability to catch the punt.

The ball was clearly in his hands when contact was made.

Patterson couldn’t have timed it better. It was perfect.

The left side of Patterson’s left foot was in the white which is why he was called out.

Pretty sure that is a rule in college not the NFL.  I see NFL players running right up to the punt returner all the time.  Also he did not signal fair catch.

They showed an angle that clearly showed a line of green between his foot and the sidelines.  All water under the bridge now.  It is just the typical treatment by the refs that every team gets when they play the Packers.  Can't wait until Rodgers retires so they can go back to sucking for the next 20 years plus.

This team has no one stepping up and being the man.. Mack should be one of those guys... We gave a lot for Mack, I'm not seeing a valuable return. This was a game Mack needed to step it up. We're missing a lot of opportunity on offense. With a decent line we'd be talking about how great our rookie running back is. Or how Mitch is really starting to come around. I still think it's mostly the O line coach.. But then to be honest, WTF is up with Leno..

I think Mack checked out during the early part of the year when the O was really really struggling.  Draft Dr Phil said Nagy had lost some in the locker room, and I am thinking Mack is one of the guys.  And maybe Eddie Jackson as well.  It would appear that two FS dont do well, and Jackson hasnt really done squat this year with turn overs.  So Dix goes next year and we will need a SS to fill in.  Ugh.

This is a quote from 247 sports:

In a draft littered with talented offensive linemen, it's the Iowa tackle who is selected first. Wirfs has the look of a ten-year starter at either left or right tackle.

They have him going 3rd to the Ji-ANTS. But the key to the quote is "In a draft littered with talented offensive linemen". That should help us revamp our Oline.

Post by: dallasbear2 on December 18, 2019, 01:44:09 pm

Leno's issue seems to be he loses focus.  Sunday he just starts drifting off the line of scrimmage on a screen pass like he doesn't even know what the damn play is.  Also had another offsides.  But I must say his pass blocking has improved the last few weeks.  Just had a hugely inconsistent year.

Whitehair had a huge miss that forced Trubisky to throw a crucial pick in the 4Q.  He's the best of the five.  Daniels is a decent pass blocker but not very good run blocker, in fact this has to be one of the worst run blocking teams in the NFL.

Lucas has surprised me with his pass blocking at RT.  He was beyond horrible in the PS at LT, but although awkward at time he stays with his man pretty well.  But again, not a people pusher.

Coward is the worst of the 5.  But it's his first year at guard after playing backup tackle in practice for a year. And before that he was a DE.  I know he sucks but its hard to blame him too much, but I'd absolutely go crazy if they put Bars in there these last 2 games.  RG could be the focus of one of our early picks next year.

If you watch other teams block.  Often times they will ignore one of the Bears d-lineman and focus on the other 3.  Often doubling 2 of the 3.  Then they slide off the double teams and go after the linebackers.  These are called combo blocks.  Running backs with decent vision and patience just wait for the hole to develop and usually get a few yards (like 3 or 4 compared to Bears 1).  More if Hicks is not in the lineup.    You just don't see the Bears O-line capable of doing this.  Is it talent or is it coaching?

And their current TEs, who I consider the 6th o-lineman don't provide much help either.  They miss so many blocks  And our top  3 guys that went on IR didn't do much better in that department.  TE could be the Bears first position choice in 2020.

According to Draft Dr Phil, our OL guys dont fire off the line, stay low and win with leverage.  They routinely stand straight up and try to block like that.  Are they being coached to do that?  Beats me, but how many times on the tape do you see guys just standing around not blocking anyone, or blocking a teammate?  Whatever the problem, talent or coaching or both, it needs to get fixed or we are going nowhere.

When you run for a yard on first down the D then has a big advantage knowing you're going to pass.

The offense constantly has one hand tied behind its back like this.

Then the talk is who's to blame, Trubisky or Nagy.  It's the friggin blocking that's to blame!
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: Pekin on December 19, 2019, 01:15:55 am
I believe these O-line guys were brought on to block in Fox's scheme where they fired out.  Now they are asking them to zone block.  Which is where they use finesse to turn a guy to allow the runner through.  It is supposed to keep the D from knowing if it is a run or pass.

It isn't working.  Either bad coaching or the talent doesn't match up.

Notice the few times when they went to the I formation and did fire out they were able to move the ball?
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on December 19, 2019, 06:10:47 am
And why dont they keep doing that then, especially if it works?  Just like Nagy trying to make Mitch a pocket passer and telling him not to run for the first 10 games of the season.  Stupid.

Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear2 on December 19, 2019, 10:28:08 am

What drives me nuts is on some of are pass patterns.  It's obvious there's a primary receiver and most of the time that's where Mitch is looking.

But often times the rest of the receivers are just running down the field stopping, turning towards the QB, and they just stand there.  The defender locks in on the guy and effectively takes the receivers out.

I understand that part of the reason for these patterns is to spread out the defense and keep them away from the primary target.  But at some point the primary target is covered and the guys have to work back to the QB.

I've seen Cohen in the middle of the field with some fatass linebacker standing behind him and wide open spaces to his left and right.  And he just stands there.

Pace and Nagy certainly need to examine and I'm sure they will.

Listening this season to talk on the subject of the OL from Tom Thayer, Olin Kreutz and Rich Campbell the type of linemen the Bears have put together are not drive blockers.  They're more scheme blockers who can  move their feet which is why they hired Heistand in the first place.
I haven't heard any of these guys or other media explain why it isn't working if the coach was hired to fit the personnel.

Either way they need to fix it
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: boogie on December 20, 2019, 07:23:26 am
I have no problem with losing Hiestand, but he was highly regarded at ND, and Kruetz raves about him.  But somewhere there is a major disconnect with the OL and the plays that are called/executed.

contrary to many, I always thought Leno at LT needed to be upgraded. What shocks me is how bad Daniels is & how consistently he gets man-handled.

Holtz has blocked well as a FB, but on those traps where he pulls & comes all the way across the line to block the opposite side DE he simply gets killed.

I'd really like to see Bars replace Cowart for the last couple of games. Cowart obviously stinks.

Its funny that Daniels was such a highly regarded C prospect when we took him.  What the heck happened?  Not smart enough to call the line plays?  Doesnt know all the plays, he obviously isnt a mauler and gets pushed around a lot.  Is it a poor scheme fit or coaching or what.  Actually the whole OL has looked like crap, so I am at a loss.  And so is our wasted season.

Smart move, but speaks volumes:

The Bears downgraded defensive tackle Akiem Hicks to out for Sunday’s game against Kansas City.

Hicks had a full week of practice, and the Bears had listed him as questionable Friday.

The team activated him from injured reserve before Week 15, and he played 36 of 59 snaps against the Packers.

Hicks went on injured reserve in Week Five with an elbow injury.

The Bears already had ruled out receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and right tackle Bobby Massie (ankle).

Total embarrassment on national TV - we're getting used to it.

Nagy again starts out conservatively and fails to utilize the middle of the field.  It's like he has this fear of the middle and it takes him a quarter or two before we see any passes inside the hash.

Defensively, we don't have DBs that can stay with KC receivers actually any NFL caliber receivers - they depend solely on a pass rush.

Basically, this team lacks size....lacks speed...lacks strength.  And our QB constantly missing big plays week in and week out. 

Two pass plays over 40 yards - the entire season!

It is beyond obvious that the offense Nagy wants to run needs a TE that can block and catch the ball in the middle of the field.  We never attack the middle of the field.  Always the sidelines and Cohen can't wait to get out of bounds.

When is the last time we have seen a middle screen?  When we go I formation and attack up the middle with our OL running down hill we have success.  Why don't we do that more?

I get that isn't Nagy's offense but if that is what the D is giving you then keep doing it until they take it away.  Then go back to the offense you want to run.

Well, this team was Nagy'd. As in screwed, **** proper and told to get the hell out of here.....

You knew it was going to be a bad night on the 1st offensive drive when they were moving the ball (albeit mostly on Trubisky's legs) and Nagy calls one of his dip-shitty trick plays that goes for a loss. Offense didn't get going again until like the 3rd quarter (and failed at the goal line).....

A further indictment of the futility of this team is that stat that the Bears are the ONLY team in the NFL not to have a 40+ offensive play this season. Let that sink in for a second. The Bungals, Lololions, Jests and ALL the bad teams with worse records each have more 40+ plays than the Bears.....

Nagy is an offensive coach.. very offensive. Hell, he should've been a Defensive coordinator- he sure knows how to stop an offense....

And while on the subject of bad coaching, Pagano can go pound sand as well. Using Mack to chip the TE instead of turning him loose to pass rush ? What kind of stupidity is that ? Effectively it means Reid used a TE to take out a great pash rusher (when he did rush he was pretty damn good) alone instead of having to always double team him from the start. BAD BAD coaching. Pagano GTFO here.....

Don't get me started on Pace.. :D

I had a real bad feeling about this game before it started, and decided, with the help of a lot of beer, to just tape the game and go to bed.  Glad I made that decision.  I will watch it, just to see how bad we were, but 3 points?  I assume the OL was putrid as usual, and sounds like the D was the same.  I was thinking yesterday Pagano needs to go, he doesnt seem to have the players inspired like Fangio did.  Not sure who you replace him with, but lets get someone.

Questions that should have been asked of Nagy by the "reporters" after this game...

1. What is wrong with this offense ? (if he says some bullshit where he deflects the blame thats its not that bad, counter with "So you think this offense is good ?")

2. What confidence can you give the fans that you and your coaching "staph" can fix this ?

3. What reasons can you give for being HC of the Bears next season ?

(After that I'd get tossed out of the presser and never let back in again) .... :D

How many of these games have we watched on national tv ? The 4th and 23 dump pass was the icing on the cake. Lessee... finally get a stop and run into the kicker, converting on 3rd and 23 (hint Pagano
rushing three doesn't work against that kid and those receivers)dbs bailing every fuc_king play, like the other team didn't know that. Bears need to get someone other than shawn Payton's personnel
assistant to manage the team. Also finally need to retire Ted's fat ass. Never will sell the team though. Too bad.

Bears had that late timeout and benefited from getting a sneak peak of what happens when you rush 3 against Mahomes.

So the Bears brain trust huddle up and again rush 3.

Read a tweet on twitter and said... Pace's biggest draft mistake was not drafting M. Trubusky instead of Mahommes, it was drafting A. Shaheen over G. Kittle....let that one sink in.
Title: Re: Today’s Game 2019
Post by: dallasbear on December 24, 2019, 11:43:17 pm

Actually, Shaheen had the better draft grade.   Kittle was 2 inches shorter and 40 lbs lighter.

Kittle came from a proven program in a pro style offense and approaches blocking according to Lance Zierlein ike an offensive lineman.

And Kittle runs a 4.53 40 - Shaheen was a converted basketball player with size playing in a small school program.  Ran  a 4.79.

I'd find the scout who gave good grades to Shaheen and do some research into his other grades... Chances are that the guy is incompetent or lazy (or maybe even a Packer mole :D)...


Something in common with Trubisky having the same problems over and over..... Dave Raggone. He'd should have been shown the door on day 1....

Lets see if we can make another scrub QB look like Joe Montana:

The Vikings are booked for the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs whether they win, lose or tie their game against the Bears on Sunday and it appears they will be taking the cautious approach with several starters as a result.

Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports that the team is expected to sit Kirk Cousins for the game. Sean Mannion would make the second start of his career. His first came under similar circumstances for the Rams in Week 17 of the 2017 season.

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said earlier this week that he hadn’t made any call, but the fact that Minnesota’s locked into its spot makes it unsurprising that they’d opt to focus on planning for the postseason.

Cronin doesn’t name any other names, but one imagines that running back Dalvin Cook, linebacker Eric Kendricks and any other player with an injury concern would be on the bench to rest up ahead of the team’s road trip in the Wild Card round.

I've not missed a game since the mid-90s (although most after the fact not live). Needless to say I've seen a lot of subpar football, unworthy of the cornerstone franchise of the NFL.....

Today is one of those games that will be "sub-par". Let's see how the team is (having packed up the U-hauls and such) and the energy levels. We KNOW the game planning will be sub-par... let's see if the heart and execution are there (I won't hold my breath)......

Watching LSU yesterday and I was under the impression they could compete and win over the bottom 3rd of the NFL... After that dismantling (albeit against a depleted team) now I think they could do that to the bottom 2/3rds of the NFL. What a good, complete team. Something the Bears haven't been this century and at least 15 years before that.....

If they stand pat and make no coaching changes (Oline, QB, WR, hell the whole offensive staff) there is NO chance that will change. They gotta shake off the crap-ola they've fallen into....

That said... Go Bears !

8-8

Barely beat a bunch of back ups.

Not a very satisfying win but a fitting end to a horrible season.

I am not sure how they get this fixed in one season.

Do you fire Pace and Nagy?  I would hate to waste another season under these guys if nothing is going to change.

They have very little cap space so forget any big free agent signings.  They have no first round pick so forget that.

If you keep Pace and Nagy I think you have to add O-line help in free agency.  Then hope Trubisky gets it with another year in the system and a better O-line.

Put me down in the replace Pagano camp also.  We need an upgrade for Floyd, and a motivated Mack.  With Roquan back, along with Kwait and and KPL, maybe bring Trevethan back, the D doesnt worry me.  Maybe replace Prince at CB.  Oh and Dix for sure. 

On O, BOTH OTs please, although that wont happen, and 1 or 2 OGs.  Funny how Gabriel has been out with concussion for what the last 5-6 weeks.  Seriously what is up with that?  I think we are good at RB and WR, but man do we need a TE.  And Burton/Shaheen is NOT the answer.

Definitely need to bring in some competition at QB.  Not a clip board holder/cheerleader like Daniels.  Actual competition.  Someone who might flourish in this system.

Not going to get that from the draft with no first round pick.  So going to have bring someone in as a free agent.  That will likely eat up most of the cap space they have.

Irregardless with how much it costs to replace Leno, he absolutely needs to go. This is glaring hole numero uno that needs repaired. Fixing him alone will help the team. Heard a stat today about Patterson, that he's like the number one running back when it comes to ypc or something? Heard it listening to Arkush on the Score. They were saying it's unfathomable they weren't using him at back and at wideout. He hated the idea of him at TE, though, which I disagree with. I think he could be used successfully there at times. But the point that was made was that Nagy has a huge weapon he is not using correctly. What-a-surprise, huh. We've seen this with other coaches we've had. We could have some 'hole fixers' being used improperly or sitting. What's with Ridley just now finally getting some time? Nagy is a bozo....

That would be nice if it were possible.

If we had a turnstyle at LT at least it would provide momentary delay before the eventual sack.  Leno doesnt even do that.  Regardless the cost he needs to go.

The first response is to can the OLine coach. Without that we are hopeless. He has to go. He is the key to the problem. Even Long would be an improvement.

The turnaround in Leno was amazing.  Last year he was, at worst, an adequate offensive tackle.  This year he was one of the worst I have seen in years.  He is not old enough to have that much of a decline in performance in a single year.  In my opinion, there can only be two possibilities.

1. He has been injured all year.  But there is absolutely no indication that his performance is the result of injury.

2. His coaching has been horrible.  If he has been adequate in the past, and is not injured, then the coach must not be getting the performance out of him that is necessary.

He may not be smart enough to run the scheme that Nagy wants run.  How many times have we seen the tape where he is just standing around or blocking his own teammate or lets a rusher go right by him.  Then again, most of the guys on the OL have done the same thing.  I am going with coaching and scheme.  Which is sad as Hiestand was a college OL coach with a good resume.

Well Hiestand is gone. Leno should snap out of his problem now.

I can’t pick against Mahommes.

Maybe the 9ers DL rush will keep him in check

I was thinking all along that SF with their D and running game might be a tough game for KC. I’m rooting for KC though.

Funny how both QB’s made a lot of “Trubisky like” mistakes when under pressure.

49er defense collapsed in 4th quarter, Chiefs defense stout in 4th quarter.

Not knowing then what I know now, I still would have taken Watson over Trub or Mahomes 10 out of 10 times.  I just wish Nagy or a QB guru HC was hired by the Bears before the 2017 draft and maybe there might have been another strong voice in the room that at the very least could have prevented Pace from doing that dumbass trade.  I'm happy for Reid.  And I still f*cking hate the 49ers because of Jan 85/89.

Not a niners fan, but that pound the ball with good D is my kinda football. Yep, I haven't forgotten that '84 season. I went to DC and witnessed the Bears beat the skins. Then Walsh and the niners unmercifully embarrassed the Bears. Needless to say, Ditka and Walsh weren't best buds. The next season is when Ditka ran the Fridge in for a TD to throw it back in Walsh's face.

Wasn’t it after that year that the 9ers came to Chicago for a cold weather playoff game and won.

All the talk was the Bears would win because of the cold and the players came out in short sleeves.

I believe the 49ers won 28 to 3. I was on freaking airplane back then and couldn't watch the game. F-ing pilot kept annoucing the score. That was the days of VCRs and bad recordings - I did not watch the tape.

It says 1989

The cold weather advantage usually, not always, works when your opponent is a dome team.

The NFL routinely schedules the Vikes and Lions to visit Soldier Field in September/October...never December.

ARRGGGGJHHH. The Darrell Green punt return.

Those were the years after JimFinks left and the contracts guy Jerry Vanisi was GM.

Ditka handled personnel and was going with guys like Fuller Harbaugh and Tomczak.

In our lifetime, has there ever been a good Bears QB? We've had a few decent teams, otherwise, very frustrating..
