Maybe Timing is To Blame
-This was the first game of the season, it was on the road, under the bright lights of primetime. Most teams are not at their best week 1, especially those that take the pre-season off, which Nagy should rightfully take some shit for. The Bears did not get to open the season with the Bills, Cardinals, or the Browns, they had to open against a team that most media outlets are picking for the Super Bowl. They had to play the GOAT QB.
-3 of their best players were not where near game shape. Mack, Robinson, and Roquan were all not at peak game shape for obvious reasons and that hurts them. Would the game have been different if Kwiatwoski had not gotten dominated when he was on the field? If Mack had anything in the tank for the 4th quarter? If Robinson had his burst late in the game? These 3 players should all get better and better as they round into shape and week 1 of the season we were not going to see their best.
-1st ever game HC game for Matt Nagy and he made some mistakes that hurt the team. I am sure he will not be as cute or conservative after being both of those things hurt his team. He needs to find out what works for this team and what works against specific opponents. That only happens with time on the sideline and experience against other coordinators. Nagy coached the 2nd half like a guy who had never coached against Aaron Rodgers before and those mistakes killed the Bears down the stretch. That is only something that can be remedied with experience. Now Nagy has the same experience as the rest of us have of having our soul ripped out by Rodgers.
-1st game for Trubisky in a new system. He has a high school diploma in this offense, which has been described as one of the more complex in the NFL, and I choose to assume by the bye week he may have a bachelor of offense and hopefully by the end of the season he has a masters in offense and we can look at a PHD in 2019. Trubisky was over thinking everything and not anticipating anything, because he has little to no experience running this stuff. Recognition and trust come with time. The scripted plays that I am sure they practiced more than any others looked great. I assume we will see more of this moving forward, the scripted plays he knows really well will look good. because he knows them.
-I have a feeling we will see a much different game, maybe not result, against the Packers the next time the Bears play them. The timing will be better for a team that has so many new parts and systems.
