That play has already been discussed on other platforms, the OL fucks the whole play up

If you fucks can't see how the OL is literally ruining both the passing game and running game, then you are as blind as Ommy is old.

Ditto! Noticed too! He was open quite a bit upon reviewing the footage. He may be in the doghouse for his criticism. It’s the only thing I can think of as to why he hasn’t had as many targets. Unless they’re scheming plays for one or two guys only but I seriously doubt that’s always the case

Happens when you can't so often. There's only so much you can concentrate on and when there's butts coming your way you try to get the ball off the best you can. I agree he needs to be in better balance to throw or better compensating when he can't. One of the attributes listed for him when drafted was being able to throw when not set and he does get more velocity than others from odd arm angles but he either needs to be more accurate at it or better at shifting his weight even when he can't step in.

was the OL this bad last year? I understand that Trubisky hid some of the weaknesses last year with his mobility, but were they always this bad?

If the Denver game was also the simplified playbook though...

Already had a good look at the Oline problems in the 1st quarter from Adi's post. But Long was the worst player on the field last game. He's a massive liability that will get exploited by competent teams (not WAS). That really sucks because the Bears play a lot of competent teams with this schedule. Was hoping it was just "rust" when Long was letting LB blitz untouched through the A-gap against GB, but he keeps on piling shit games onto shit games. Bears need to be getting his backup ready to play asap, Kyle's not getting better and the offense isn't good enough to overcome the handicap he has become.

Ummm... its not that the playbook is that complicated. Its just that Mitch is not smart enough to understand it.
Just like he can't read defenses, just like he can't stop staring down receivers, just like when he goes into the press conference after the Green Bay game and throws Bear management under the bus by saying, "duh, I was told not to comment". This is part of the same reason it took him so long to become a starting QB in college -- Mitch is not bright.
The guy had roughly 2 YEARS TO UNDERSTAND THE PLAYBOOK!!!..... and still can't do it. Nagy just plain gave up trying to get him to understand it.

Ant mill isn't helping himself either with all the "alligator arming" of passes. Twice in the skins game he failed to extend both of his arms in an attempt to catch a pass. Not sure if he is reticent due to the shoulder injury, but that certainly doesn't build trust between QB and WR.

Kyle Long was horrific. He literally gets thrown into Trubisky's legs on the INT. Picked up and thrown.

Two points.
1) Its not one or the other, its both. The O line has played horribly. Mitch has played poorly with some exceptions.
2). Regarding Mitch. He is smart enough to understand the playbook. Thats not the issue. The issue is he cant process what he is seeing fast enough to make in time decisions. This leads to not seeing open guys after his first read and high anxiety when throwing causing the inaccuracies. He hasn’t adjusted to the speed of the NFL game and as this is his third year I dont know that he ever will. He is destined to have a long career as a backup IMO.

Someone implied that Montgomery might not be a good blocker.....
OMG, go to the 13:16 Mark and see him take out two defenders. one was the Linebacker coming in the hole and the other was Kyle Longs defender......
Montgomery the real deal!!!
Edit: saw the other comments on this after finishing the video, but still worth mentioning twice, or three times

Does anyone have a shred of doubt that with more carries, and even mediocre run blocking that DM would be absolutely killing it?

Dude. It takes a long time to be a pure pocket passer and read defenses. Most successful guys ride the bench pressure free. Others take a ton of time to develop. Mahomes is literally a once in a lifetime player. The exception not the rule.
And most of the "successful" pocket passers you see are garbage time QBs.
This is the NFL, the defenses are stronger faster and smarter than ever, its not easy. You aren't giving him a chance. He has special moments but you gotta have a little faith that it will click someday and that you can depend on him to get you enough now in the meantime.

With the Dallas line blocking he might just be ROY

Long's first name should be "Not For".
