Int in the endzone

I didnt like the play call either, you dont throw up a 50/50 ball in that situation. If you must pass throw it to a slant, keep the ball low to the ground, so if the WR cant get it, no one else will. Think it was supposed to go to AROB think Mitch threw a bad pass. Its alright, had an excellent game otherwise and D stepped up when it counted most. Ill take the W

Also, as effective as PA has been, they still need to clean up little details on how they run it. More precisely, Mitch needs to get the ball closer to the RB on the fake hand off, so the D has to wonder who has the ball. The way we are executing it, the ball never gets closer than a foot or 2 away from the RB, so the D knows right away that Mitch is passing. Small detail, but can make the PA a lot more effective for us

Nagy will say he didn’t come here to call play action unless it’s RPO, especially from under center, so I doubt it’s been practiced at all until recently.

Maybe, but you still need to disguise it a little bit, if you do decide to run it

Here’s my assessment about the the interception.
He threw an interception. Sucks. Oh well. Hope it doesn’t cost us since it was a bad time for it. It didn’t. Great! I would have ran it but you run what the coach called. Bears win. Great!

Do I wish he had completed it, yes. Do I wish he would have just thrown it away, yes. We know he’s not an Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Drew Bees type of QB. So him throwing an interception is going to happen. Especially since it happens to those guys. Even if it’s a very low percentagefor those guys.

If he stays here or even possibly the next two games, here’s a secret I got for you. Ready? He’s going to throw another one. And close to the end when we are up. It’s going to happen. He’s not going to change. Even if we say just throw the ball away or throw it where only our guy can catch it. It won’t change. Only thing he can do is bring the amount of times he does that to a lower probability.

My instinct was that the play was designed to go to AR, and that Holtz drifted back into an area he wasn’t supposed to go into. If Holtz either stops on the goal line or runs a crossing pattern underneath, that ball is a pretty safe throw that falls incomplete or AR alone catches. However, even after blaming Holtz for ending up with two guys in the same place, it’s still on Mitch for not reading what was happening. Even more critically, it’s a situational awareness failure on his part. At that point in the game, it has to be locked into the QB’s brain that it’s either going to be a riskless throw or out of the end zone entirely. Coming away with at least 3 points there was essential. Mitch is still locking in on AR on critical situations. That’s a serious flaw in general, and a career-defining flaw in those type of game-deciding situations. Mitch has needs to move past that flaw if he’s going to have a career as a starting NFL QB.

For sure. That was a ball that should never of been thrown, and it will keep happening with this guy.

The fumble against Detroit was on him also. If you watch it again, he had time but he was so locked in where he intended to go with the ball that he let the pass rusher reach around and strip the ball. You can't do that it those situations.

To me people are getting way too excited about Trubisky. This offensive run has more to do with the run game than anything.

 

[DaaBears]

Actually an offense that was 31st for most of the season is probably top 5 over the last 3 or 4 games. Every part of the offense has been spectacular over this time period. This is really upsetting to some people on here. But yeah, let's try to focus on that bad play, which Trubisky took ownership for, although somebody else also screwed up.

Nobody is upset. It's just people are getting sucked into this false reality that Trubisky is a good QB.

I'm 100% certain when the Bears let him walk, that it does not come back to haunt them.

You are entitled to your opinion, which is obviously set in place and probably not subject to change. The fact of the matter is Trubisky has played extremely well since his return. He would not be anywhere near the first quarterback to change things around, there have been plenty. You believe that people are being sucked into a false sense of reality, others may disagree or be in a wait and see.

I believe his performance in week 17 against the Packers and potentially playoff games will determine his future here.

That play had no chance. Holtz and Robinson's routes took them right into one another. It appeared Trubisky was throwing to Robinson, but Dantzler who was covering Holtz made the pick.

I didn't get the play call to begin with. It had to be the worst call of the game. The Bears were steady pounding the run, and appeared content on not throwing again. If you were going to throw the ball again it seemed logical to do something off of play action, but they wait until third down to run an empty backfield 5 receiver set. I just did not get that, unless you tried a QB draw.

Looked like a Nagy Special tbh. He loves spreading it ALL the way the fuck out inside the 10yd line and going with THE wackiest of personnel in times like that. On some "they'll never see THIS one coming" shit.

It was def a bullshit play call, no matter what the designed intention was. I still don't understand why they don't just keep it simple and go to Graham or Kmet more in the redzone. That shit actually works.

 

[modo]

There was a lot wrong with that play...one of those receivers was out of position and Trubisky should have just thrown it away and took the 3......

 

[truthbedamned]

It was 3rd and 1.

Where the fuck was the handoff to Monty?

 

[sevvy]

Holtz is worse at his job than I am at mine. And that's saying a lot.

 

[Bearly]

3rd and 6 but it's a spot where you throw it away if not there. Like with the Lions, it could have cost us the game.

I swore it was 3rd and 1. My bad.

No biggie but thank god we kept running this week.

Yeah basically this. If Mitch wants to get a 2nd contract with the Bears he has to play well against GB. If CHI is fortunate enough to make the playoffs he has to play well in the playoffs, he has to make the throws he would previously miss.

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

Holtz was out there because Harris was injured

 

[TexasBearfan]

Go back and watch the TV replay. The defender was holding AR around the waist so he wasn't able to jump. That's why he stumbled and the ball went past him. I don't think that ball was at all intended for Holtz, and Robinson likely catches it if he wasn't held. Still confusing why Holtz was there in the first place....

Brees actually threw a TD yesterday on a very similar throw and the WR made it easily.....at this point if I'm QB I'm really not interested in throwing any 50/50 balls near ARob at all...I think he's a great WR but the 50/50 jump ball is one of his few weaknesses...throw it to jimmy graham who will get an offensive PI but at least can get up to catch that stuff

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

It had to be the worst call of the game.

Shotgun 3rd and 1 beg to differ

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

Why is he on the roster ? He’s the coward of tight ends
