It was a fun game today and it's been fun to watch for the last 3 weeks. But for anyone to think Trubisky will suddenly stop making REALLY dumb throws is out of their mind. Maybe 2 years from now, with another team, he can do that but it ain't happening anytime soon.
And that combined with the fact that Pagano refuses to be aggressive enough on his play calling (for this team to beat a great QB, we've got to blitz on big 3rd downs) means that this team doesn't have the offense or defense to beat a good team, whether they get to the playoffs or not.
Yes, it's awesome to see this new offensive line give our QB protection and give our great RB space to be a great RB. And it's really cool to see someone call a great game, especially after having to watch Nagy fumble about the way he did. That has been pretty freaking refreshing.
But let's not kid ourselves. Rodgers is going to have the time he needs to get 1st downs and beat this defense and Trubisky is going to throw really stupid passes and they won't be dropped by good teams.
And that combo won't beat good teams, it just won't. Do I hope I'm wrong? Yes! But I'm not. And no matter how optimistic a fan you are, in the bottom of your heart, you know it too.
Am I excited we have a game that means something next week? Yes, I am excited about that.
