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

[KingCubsFan]

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.

foles is a backup

You said the QB has to be good to win. Foles wasn’t and still won. Quit moving the goal posts (unless Parkey is kicking)

[raw]

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

And you're literally saying nonsense.

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.

 

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.

 

 

Clearly I do know more then you.

 

1) the game plan wasn’t Mitches to design.

2) he didnt commit the PI on defense

3) the team has never asked him to kick FGs

4) I love the guy, but Miller has to jump on his own loose ball. Rookie mistake. But mitch doesn’t possess the ability to get down field to do that for him. I don’t know any QB who can.

 

 

 

Mitch is the guy. Parkey needs to float the other way.

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

 

More accurately, he left the game with the lead the bullpen blew it, then had the bases loaded with 0 outs in the bottom of the 9th and Parkey hit into a triple play.

Parkey is begging for this to be true

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

He’s a nothing QB doing the bare minimum to win. His team caught his floaters enough to beat the bears because the bears qb did nothing all game.

i may not know as much about football, but apparently i know more about applying basic logic to sports. why are you talking about some random ass plays when we already know what they amounted to. they amounted to the opposition only scoring 16 points. i think the second year qb that was taken #2 overall shouldn't have had to rely on a kick at the end to score more than 16 points.

 

again, i never even said he was bad. i just find it baffling to hear people say he did what they needed him to. if *that* is all they needed from the quarterback position, then why did they invest so heavily in it. like just sign jeff garcia or something

"QB has to play good to win"

- Mitch outplayed Foles

"Well he's a backup"

-Foles is reigning SB MVP

"Well, he did bare minimum, because Mitch did nothing"

 

I've internet known you for like 20 years dude. You're smarter than this, and not a meatball. You're changing a bad argument and making it worse every time you comment. Not sure why you've chosen this character when discussing Mitch, especially after excusing every single thing Cutler ever did for 7 years. This is dumbfounding.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Also, this is why you always play for the bye

So.....now it's not a quality start? I've lost sight of your point (as have you).

Nah. This is a lesson that when you are having a great season and 1 guy clearly isn’t on page, you need to get rid of him asap.

How did this happen? There were several times he threw it up for grabs and yet completed the pass.

I argued that they shouldn't play for the bye. They did, didn't get it, got a superior team in the playoffs, and lost the game. Not sure what your point is.
