Is anyone saying he’s the sole contributing factor for the poor offensive showing?

I think Nagy is at a place right now where he’s torn between doing what’s best for Mitch’s future (and the long-term future of the Chicago Bears) and what’s best at this particular moment in time.
Nagy knows that Mitch dropping back and going through his progressions isn’t playing to his strengths—not by a long shot. So why’s he doing it? Because Trubisky *does* have to do this in order to become a better quarterback. This is 202. As Mitch becomes better at this, good things will happen.
Conversely, what’s best for the moment at hand is to take such decisions out of Mitch’s hands, to give him almost purely one-read plays or “level” plays where the progressions are literally all in the same part of the field. His QB rating excels in these types of plays because as a matter of athletic ability, he’s actually a pretty good quarterback. Although errant sometimes, he can make the throw...if he doesn’t have to read a defense much at the same time. Taking advantage of this would yield more instant offensive success and help the Bears win right now. But it wouldn’t be a long-term solution, and it wouldn’t help Mitch’s overall development.
I believe Nagy is trying to figure out right now how much to take out of Column A and how much to take out of Column B, while also fiddling with the other 25 guys on the offensive side of the ball and trying to figure out how they all fit in. This is gonna take some time. Last year was awesome, and it almost made us forget that in the grand scheme of things, Nagy is still trying to figure this whole pro football head coach thing out. I actually think he has the “leader” part of it down. It’s the X’s and O’s he needs to work on and continue to evolve. I do believe the league is adjusting to coaches like Nagy. Now it’s time for those coaches, including Nagy, to adjust back.

The OL was so bad I just cant see how its not the focus of more conversation. This was supposed to be an average to above average group but on Thursday they looked like a bottom 5 group. Even factoring in Whitehair and Daniels swapping positions it was not acceptable for a team with playoff aspirations.
Im beating a dead horse but I still don’t understand how Nagy thought these guys needed few to no preseason snaps. You cant give up games with a schedule like the Bears have this year.

My favorite teams
The only issue I have, is that if he really, truly put his team on his shoulders there, he throws a TD pass and we just win the game. Fuck a FG.
That being said, I was impressed with his performance during that drive. And he did what he needed to do to get his team the W. Any other QB would have been praised for it. But you know how it is on this forum. Lol.

Geee..
Look at this:

"
R-P-Oh, I know which play is coming
The Bears went heavy with run-pass option (RPO) calls against the Packers. There’s only one problem: they tip when the play is coming from a formation tendency.

1. FFS, pay for The Athletic. It's worth it.
2. TL;DR version:
-Montgomery only got two touches after the 1st Qtr
-"The most common personnel package was Cohen, Mike Davis, Robinson, Gabriel and Cordarelle Patterson. But on eight snaps, this group gained only 11 yards, one first down and was sacked twice on eight snaps "...lol
-Pettine abused Daniels
-Nagy is hyper predictable with his RPO sets

I do not want to seem like I am only targeting the OL, the Bears dropped more passes in the 4th then they were credited with last season
Cohen drop that would have been 8-10

Streaming the all 22 is highly illegal, and Twitch will strike you down with the quickness. Best bet will be using a sketchier platform.

You should target the OL, they were absolutely horrendous. Worse than I even imagined. It's gonna be a long season on O.

This would have been a great catch and I expect a 14/season #1 to make it.

I was borderline unprofessional. Whitehair and Leno were spectacularly bad.

This is what you get when you essentially ignore o-line by not spending any high value draft picks for years on end. This unit is atrocious, and there's no one waiting in the wings either. Wait until the Bears face a team with a better front 7, the Packers are at best middle of the pack in that regard. It's gonna be a blood bath. I have that Vikings game circled in 3 weeks.

Whitehair and Leno were straight trash on a bunch of key plays.
On 3rd down with the game on the line, Whitehair gets worked by Za'Darius Smith and Trubisky takes it in the mount as he throws the ball.

Do not worry Whitehair bounces back strong on 4th down.
Nevermind, he misses a stunt for a sack.
