171 yards passing is not good. The running game was good. The passing game was amateurish which makes Nagy's dumb passing on 3rd down even more confusing. This is the modern NFL. There is no excuse for a guy to complete over 65% of his passes and have 35 attempts and yet only have 171 yards. That is just garbage. I feel like I was watching a Gary Crowton/John Shoop offernse out there.
Well yes my point wasn't to excuse Trubisky or anything it was just to show that the Bears offense was able to move the ball well despite the passing game being bad. As I said in an earlier post Trubisky was bad yesterday. The reasons why I think he was bad are this:
1) He was the reason why we didn't score TDs on 2 of the 3 redzone drives that didn't result in TDs. He missed a layup to Robinson and abandoned Cohen as an option immediately on the wheel route. I'll put the other failed attempt to score a TD on Nagy, as we had the ball inside the 10 (maybe even inside the 5) and didn't give it to Howard once.
2) When the comeback was happening and the crowd was getting crazy he clearly lost poise.
Those are the reasons why he looked bad. I think Nagy played a big part in causing the offense to sputter but as I said, if Trubisky hits the easiest TD ever to Robinson then the Packers would have been unable to win the game.
Just have to finish in the redzone (give the fucking ball to Howard please), and if we don't finish in the redzone then we have to continue to be aggressive in order to win. I think that's the biggest takeaway.
