This feels like looking for a story to me. Nobody thought Kmet was a plug and play TE. He was never going to make an immediate impact. They targeted Jimmy Graham (who flailed badly twice) early. Trevathan is not playing as much because he hasn't been good. Cohen is doing the role expected of him. He's not a go to run the clock guy. Montgomery did a great job with that anyway. Cohen is a gimmick guy you hope has a couple explosive plays during the game, or somebody you might take a chance on late in the game, not the guy you feed in the 4th with a lead.

Something changed this defense when it went from Fangio to Pagano. It's just not the same. And it's not for the better. How many snaps did Quinn play yesterday? Point being, if he's near 100% and playing nearly ever down, then what we saw out of the defense was the best we can hope for this season? Not good enough. And that's disappointing considering we have Hicks, Mack, Quinn, Smith, Fuller and Jackson as stud defensive players. It's kinda bizarre to see most of the league games in shootouts to see who can get to 40 points first, and then Bears games are battles to see who can get to 20 first. They just aren't playing the same kind of football as the rest of the league where you make due with your defense, but load up on big scoring plays every week. I love defense. But there are arguably 6 guys alone that are near the top of league at their position and they aren't getting sacks at a high enough pace. They did create 2/3 turnovers, but Jones had plenty of time to throw. For the most part, so did Stafford last week, a sack could have ended the Giants last drive, they knew the Giants were going to throw the ball and still nothing. They're old. It's not going from Fangio to Pagano as much as it is the continuation of time. The only young guy they've added the past three years is a MLB, which is nice to have but not something that will help get to the quarterback on third down. The guys in charge of getting the QB were eligible to vote for Obama in his second term, and some were eligible to vote for him the first time. That's not good.

Andy also likes coaching great quarterbacks he trusts. Nagy is coaching a middling QB he does not trust in the least.

It’s so frustrating how obvious that second half went. The only surprise was the actual yardage gained on the yard at the end. If you have to pull back the throttle with Mitch, then play Foles. But the better option is keep pushing and don’t play scared.

Hate the punt inside the 40

Hell of a half. Keep it up.

I wouldn’t trust the TD Ameritrade guys dealing with Point72.

Clutch + clinch = Clunch. I like it You're so clunch and you don't even know it

The Bears have always failed to tank, it is one of their greatest abilities. They are the most 7-9 organization in the league. They aren't Cleveland. They aren't Detroit. The Bear have fielded many flawed teams, have lost many games and wasted plenty of seasons, but they are incapable of finishing the job. They nearly did the year Bellamy was tank commander and dropped two winning passes in one game. That's what led to Trubisky, right? If they were capable of tanking they would have been able to draft Trubisky 1st overall without trading up.

i said it elsewhere, not sure if i said it here, but if he goes back to playing like 2018 mitch (much better than 2019 but not very good), that is not a fun spot to be in. I do not believe that's going to happen, for 3/4 of game on Sunday we saw the 2019 version, he just flat out sucks. There's a good chance he's soon benched, by now, Nagy has to know he's terrible, I can't imagine the leash on Trubisky being very long. I don't think it will be soon.

Okay, how about, "the Lions have proven they can't be out-tanked" ..again...its too early in the season to say that when teams like Chicago, Cleveland and Atlanta are out there The Bears have always failed to tank, it is one of their greatest abilities. They are the most 7-9 organization in the league. They aren't Cleveland. They aren't Detroit. The Bear have fielded many flawed teams, have lost many games and wasted plenty of seasons, but they are incapable of finishing the job.

More of presenter of awards to porn stars than a porn star

think they can get a 4th?

But then those pesky Lions will be sitting there at like 1-15. They could always trade a few picks to move from #2 up to #1. After all ... when you have conviction on a guy you do what you have to do to get him. #ouch

5 wins remains possibility

Oh myyyyyyy!

I have a lot of belief in Nagy and think Pace can help build a winner with him. I hate the constant turnover and think these guys have a baseline of competence that is worth something. But I can be talked out of it

#RedZoneDeadZone

That was a deep gong.

Do they get 5 wins this year?

It’s not a question of gassed or not. They made the stop and went right back out there. That is deflating and entirely on the offense. They're adults, this is a super meatbally opinion I agree, saying “they’re adults” to scoff at the idea that two two minute stops is a must do is super meatbally. Glad you can admit it.

thr last thing I saw was the defense stop the lions in 2 minute offense then bears use 5 seconds to give it right back. That’s the game, and that’s all on offense. You can’t expect a defense to make back to back two minute stops. I can, in fact, expect them to do that well sure, but you don’t know anything about sports so, whatever

That’s a signature Mitch play right there
