Round 1: Eagles at Bears Sunday 3:40 on NBC

[minnesotacubsfan]

 

 

Definitely, the Eagles secondary and linebackers suck, if Brees has the time Mitch had, he'll lay 30+ on those clowns next week.

 

 

No he wont. But NO will win.

 

 

 

Mitch did his horsefeathering job. He got to within a range that every NFL kick should be confident at. Parkey blew it. The Bears blew it by giving him anything beyond this year in money. Draft a horsefeathering kicker.

Mitch had one good drive in the 4th when they got the TD and made a nice pass to Robinson in the 4th to get them in FG range. Outside of that, he was pretty mediocre especially in the first half. 15 points (should have been 18) in a home playoff game just isn't good enough, sorry.

Just keep it simple. Parkey lost us this game.

 

Parkey, Parkey, Parkey.

Keep saying that, but if Parkey makes the FG, they win. It was a very make-able FG. Therefore, Mitch literally did enough to win. The kicker blew it.

 

Not saying that's the only play that determined the outcome. I'm sure Mitch missed some reads. Amos had a bad penalty, as did Amukamara. The defense didn't get enough pressure and missed some tackles. O'Donnell had a 32 yard punt late. Nagy didn't call a timeout after the Jeffery 1st down, which would have given the Bears 35 more seconds at the end. There were several plays that could have gone differently and made it so the Bears win this game. But if Parkey makes the FG, no other play matters as the Bears would have won. It is reasonable to expect an NFL kicker to make that kick.

Do think it's a reach to say there's 31 other kickers, well 30 (Janokowski Seatlle kicker) who would have easily made that kick.

Nope. Made 3 kicks. Should have made the 4th and deserves blame but this is a collective loss. Defense, offense, ST.

He hit the horsefeathering upright.

[KingCubsFan]

Amos and O’Donnell both had huge plays. Punting didn’t lose this game. Neither did the secondary. The offense did nothing.

 

The offense didn't have huge plays?

The offense had to move the ball and score. They did not. Special teams was fine, sans Parkey. Defense was fine. Offense was not here. They did nothing and the QB, Mitch Trubisky, takes the bulk of the blame. He was not good. The QB has to be good to win in the playoffs. Mitch was not.

He was better than Foles.

Parkey, Parkey, Parkey.

 

He lost them the game and he lost them the first round bye too. Tough season for Parkey.

[17 Seconds]

I wouldn’t say the offense did everything it should have. It basically didn’t move the ball until the 4th quarter - and Mitch was definitely up and down and made some great down field passes late. If he was on target early, they have the game in hand without resorting to a kick late.

 

It is what it is.

 

I'm sorry, but you guys are going to have to start putting some evidence with these statements. When was Mitch off target early (talking about legitimately missing passes) that prevented the team from scoring?

 

I'm not at all claiming he was great. Just saying, he in no way prevented them from scoring more points as you and Goony are alluding to.

 

 

Yuuuup. Mitch played fine and in the clutch, played the game we needed him to.

 

They needed him to put up more than 16 points and he didn't

Parkey literally made the kick, right before that. Kicked thru the TO call and hit it right down the middle. Every kicker makes that or it's a choke.

Tough? If you don’t want to practice at Soldier Field maybe you should be replaced. And if you still suck after practicing there maybe you should take up typewriting.

He did. He gave Parkey the kick. Twice. Parkey proved he could do it and he failed

They needed the TEAM to put up more than 16 points, 1 player on the TEAM prevented them from getting more than 16 points, and it wasn't Mitch.

the bears were a 12 win team facing a wild card team at home. if just getting into position for your terrible kicker to make a game winner at the buzzer is all that is being asked of him, I guess the question becomes why are the expectations so low

I'm with you on that. I can't imagine Parkey getting another job next year.

From 5 wins to facing the SB champions. But yes, thats all he needed to do, and giving the Miller gaf just before halftime, Mitch did more than enough.

 

Sure, bail on Mitch. Ostracize Nagy, Pace and start over. Because Parkey is a cuddly teddy bear we all should love.

What a stupid horsefeathering thing to say. That obviously wasn't the expectation at the beginning of the game. Given the situation (57 seconds and 1 timeout), that obviously became the expectation. Expectation was met. If the kicker met his, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I'm not doing any of that, and you probably know much more about football than me. It's just that when you consider the cost of getting him in the first place I, dont see how you can say that he did enough in this game when they scored 15 points and lost.

 

trubisky has nothing to do with the defense. he doesn't get the benefit of lower expectations just because they are going to keep the score down. hes not some cheap journeyman that allowed them to use resources elsewhere.

Foles is the reigning Superbowl MVP in his prime. Two can play this dumbass game.

you're literally saying that he met the expectation that became the expectation after the original expectation wasn't meant

I don’t really blame the defense. Allowed 300 yards and certainly wasn’t their best game but it was more than good enough for the win. The Eagles 2 TD drives involves 52 yards of penalties and a 30 yard punt to start near midfield. Not saying that the defense isn’t at fault for the penalties or allowing the Eagles to drive the rest of the way after the bad punt but it’s not as egregious as allowing them to gash their way to 80 yard TD drives

[17 Seconds]

guy got a quality start, that's all you can ask for
