  1. As long as they do not pick up the option year, or god forbid, extend him, I do not care what they do with him next season. I don't want them spending $100m on some journeyman nobody who happens to be a hot free agent. Go ahead and make him play for all I care. Believe I've read he's guaranteed money for 2020 and the Bears hold the option for 2021, might as well make him earn it in 2020, somehow. 2021? He's gone.
  2. That miss to Robinson at the 1 yard line was the very definition of why Trubisky is not an NFL QB. Short pass, wide open and he can't even put it in a spot where Robinson can at least catch it. I don't know the exact radius of the window to make that a catchable ball, but he wasn't close on what was essentially a non moving target. Prior to his drop/fumble he missed a wide open TD to Gabriel, its got to be frustrating as hell for the receivers. But, getting in Mitch' face won't help, just got to keep trying.
  3. Exactly, season' over, playing scared will only lead to more mistakes. Even though Nagy' gun-shy and has no faith in his QB, he's got to go out guns blazing being aggressive as aggressive can be, it's the only chance they have, if any. Think Mitch knows his career might be coming to end very soon?
  4. Frustrating, what's their record with average play at QB? I'd say at least 6 - 1.
  5. With the game in balance would you trust your mentally fragile, low football IQ OB to successfully execute anything? I’m guessing the difference in making a 35 yard FG vs a 41 yard FG is worth the risk of fumbling which has probably a 1% chance of happening given the situation where they are told to secure the ball over all else. All in all he should have hit the 41 yarder regardless but it seems moronic to not try to have the kick from as close as possible. Anyways it’s hilarious that the Bears came away from 3 1st and goal situations from the 9, 4 and 1 yard line with 9 points in a game they lost by 1 point That's where the game was lost, you've got try to not score at least one TD in those situations. And lo and behold the Bears tried and succeeded.
  6. With the game in balance would you trust your mentally fragile, low football IQ OB to successfully execute anything? I would trust him to execute a simple hand-off, yes. Seeing as how that is one thing I cannot recall the last time he screwed that up. I agree with you but, given most anything they've tried backfires I can understand Nagy being a little gun-shy.
  7. Given you've got a QB who, earlier just dropped the ball, that's probably a legitimate concern. That wasn't a hand-off though. With the game in balance would you trust your mentally fragile, low football IQ OB to successfully execute anything?
  8. Watching his post-game presser right now. That is the first thing he was asked about (not trying to get more yards) and he was completely dismissive of the question. Did not want to risk a fumble. Given you've got a QB who, earlier just dropped the ball, that's probably a legitimate concern.
  9. Time for another player' only meeting? To say what? We're a bunch of fumbling, bumbling horsefeathering idiots with perhaps, the most useless QB in the NFL? How do you lose a game when your opponent literally does nothing? Ask the Bears.
  10. Sure would have been nice to actually have game tape of this guy in college before making the pick. Will Nagy have Trubisky on a short leash Sunday? If so, does he go with Daniels or Bray? I have to think if he doesn't show some success in the first or second offensive series the boos are going to cascade down.
  11. Oh, yessssss. That was hard to watch, it's almost obscene how open the receivers are, most especially Miller over the middle on third down. There's no one within three yards of him, that's an easy 1st down, probably another 10 or more on top.
  12. Not really. If you want to quibble with "none", I'm talking about the young guys they expected to be key contributors this year and the years following - the supposed foundation of this team: Daniels (22), Cohen (24), Miller (24), Jackson (26), Roquan (22), Whitehair (27), Trubiksy (25), Fuller (27), Floyd (27), Goldman (25). Who in this group is playing better than last year? I'd expect to see some regression but it's pretty surprising to see it across the board. Okay, none of the young guys are on the back half of their career, okay. But there is a very good chance Mitch Trubisky has already played way more than 50% of his eventual career games in the NFL. Unless, Trubisky somehow becomes useful he's done after 2020 (Bears have the option for '21, correct?). Maybe Pace can use his middle-round magic to hit on a QB? Beyond Trubisky, the most disappointing player is Roquan. He was a beast at UGA and last season, then becomes a punching bag? There's got to be something wrong, you don't lose it like he has without something being drastically wrong.
  13. Also the offense did jack squat all game but for some reason people forget that. What that reason is, we'll sadly never know... I remember, prior to the fg attempt, second or third down, Mitch had Miller wide open down the middle and of course, missed. On the Score they were speculating on teammates beginning to get frustrated with his terrible play, can't blame them. How many times can you defend a guy who misses you when you're open time and time again?
  14. If the Bears wish to capitalize on their current window something such as that must be done. Thought I read something about Bridgewater as well?
  15. I know this is you schtick or whatever, but the 49ers are currently undefeated with an offense featuring a basically an average QB in Garappolo handing off a bunch and a strong defense. And it's not even like they have a bunch of highly pedigreed RBs either and are handing it off to an Ezekiel Elliot-type 30 times a game. Where you're kind of right is that you better be able to defend the pass in the NFL in 2019, which is a huge part of the 49ers success right now. The Bears D, not so much, but it'd be a lot more interesting to see if their performance could improve if they had an O capable of staying on the field. Although that may not be it either, they have given up huge series at the beginning of halves or games where they shouldn't be fatigued at all. I got to see very little of the past 3 games, mostly listening on the radio, so this isn't even a defense of Mitch or anything. Yesterday sounds like it was very ugly by him, but there isn't a justification for Nagys play call split at this point. It certainly isn't a winning strategy. At best it only serves to force Paces hand on Trubisky's future. ETA: Bears D is still average at defending the pass, but last year they were elite. At the end of the day you want a elite passer rating differential. You can be elite at one and average at another like the Bears were last year. But average at one and below average at another... Well it's obvious the Bears could easily be 2-4 and are fortunate to still be at 3-3. If they can fix the pass D, they don't need to pass a bunch. The pass rush has been non-existent the past two games, yes, Kahlil getting held on nearly every pass play, but, still, nothing. Does Pagano need to start blitzing on every 2nd and 3rd and long?
  16. That's all he's got, appears unable to do anything else, Nagy' must design plays to get him moving and run the ball much, much more.
  17. Maybe, they should look at running the ball - a lot - think Mitch can hand the ball off as well as anyone, I think. Why not take the ball out his hands? The OL is complete trash. Yes it is however, I think its a better bet that they'll run block more effectively than pass block with an incompetent QB.
  18. He's terrible but, Nagy may be worse, he's not putting him a position to succeed. As terrible as Mitch is, there a few things he does well, Nagy' got to leverage those things, give him a chance to succeed. The one thing he does well is maybe make something out of a broken play on occasion. You can’t scheme that. He had open receivers and missed them, again and again. He can’t think and he can’t hit open guys. He had made zero strides. Maybe that’s on Nagy a bit, but these are not out of nowhere concerns with Mitch. There’s a very good chance no coach could polish this turd. A little razzle dazzle got them to 10 wins, but that may be the high water mark. Maybe, they should look at running the ball - a lot - think Mitch can hand the ball off as well as anyone, I think. Why not take the ball out his hands?
  19. He's terrible but, Nagy may be worse, he's not putting him a position to succeed. As terrible as Mitch is, there a few things he does well, Nagy' got to leverage those things, give him a chance to succeed.
  20. Maybe but, give up after a handful of attempts?
  21. 1) you have to pass when you are losing 2) you should pass even when you aren’t losing because passing is awesome and running is irrelevant in the current NFL They didn't try to establish the running game, with this stupid horsefeathers of a QB, why wouldn't you try to run the ball?
  22. Since were stuck with this crap at QB can anything be done? Some kind of a gimmick offense? Go to no huddle full time? Sometimes I don't understand what Mitch is waiting for on some throws, late in the first half, he holds on to the ball forever then, decides to try dumping it Cohen. He's got know, with this line, he's got little to no time and must get rid of the ball quickly. Just how horsefeathering stupid is he?
  23. Let's get to fixing the Cubs, with a few good moves and some luck health wise, they can be right back in the playoffs.
  24. Goodbye Cardinals, should have not gotten that far in the first place nevertheless, bye, bye.
  25. What do you know, an over performing team regressing, getting beat down.
