Thoughts on Bears-Lions: Doing God's work

[Visionman]

The game wasn't as close as the score indicated. The Bears owned the Lions from beginning to end....

I know the Lions are an up and down team, but this win was important....getting a win in the division after the futility under Fox last year was important...

And this was Trubisky's best game as a QB.....I know he had better stats against TB, but Detroit was ranked 8th in yards given up against the pass. Trubisky completely shredded them from beginning to end. These were down field passes ripping apart the secondary. Trubisky averaged 11.8 yards per....

This is a prime example of why using stats without context is bad.

The Lions were without their ELITE top CB in Slay, and also down their top slot CB in Agnew. They literally were forced to use a backup Safety to cover the slot, it was so bad.

But it still was Tru Blue's best game...just not for the reason you mentioned...

I know Slay was out, but Slay alone did not make them a top 10 team in pass defense....

A cb like Slay is a HUGE part of it, as he can shut down a WR by himself. But as I said, it was much more than just losing Slay...

Rory, this is a damn good thread. I wanted to bounce it back to the first page.

I really enjoyed the Bears rushing to the LOS to snap, then Trubisky settling down, checking the rushers, making changes to the play, taking his time then getting easy 1st downs. Nagy is boosting this kids confidence tremendously, just by putting him in positive situations like this, giving him more time to make pre-snap adjustments and reads.

This is done so that Nagy could see the coverage and relay audibles to Trubisky through his headset. McVay did this with Goff, as did Shanahan with Garoppolo.

I thought that Patricia's time & timeout management was a disaster. Who the fuck Burns a timeout to punt?

John Fox against Minnesota last season.

Ok

People wanted Cam over White. White is trash and will done after this season.

Watching Mitch dissect the the lions coverage at the line and then audible to the appropriate call was beautiful. This is the definition of progress. This is what it feels like to watch an offense that can actually take advantage of what the defense is doing.

Regardless, MT made much better decisions. Decisions on a level Bear fans have not seen in a long, long time. It appeared from the stands that MT made some changes on the Miller TD that got him so wide open and led to a TD.

I thought the headsets cut off with 15 sec on playclock? I guess he gets a few seconds in though.

On the audible plays, they were hurrying up to the line almost immediately with 30 seconds to go on the play clock. Trubisky would bark hard snap counts for 5 seconds to try to illicit a tell from the defense. Then the play would be changed at the 22 second mark. I think Nagy was feeding him the adjustments.

All eyes on Mitch but I am far more concerned about the trash run game.

Running trips is an easy, quick sign of man or zone coverage. Nagy called this all game to help Mitch easily diagnose it

It’s the exact same thing Sean McVay does. He runs the offense out immediately as the play clock starts, giving him a good 10-15 seconds to make adjustments and relay them to Goff. Goff went from making no changes at the line to making Peyton Manning type audibles almost overnight. So any changes made early in the clock are probably on Nagy. I’m sure Trubisky still has the go ahead to make any changes after the headset is cut off in the final 15 seconds of the clock.
