Man, Floyd looked really good in this game. Here he dips under the left tackle...

I suspect this is what was envisioned when drafted. To be used like Pagano does. Seems a better fit.Leonard Floyd forces the pick 6 with a hurry on Keenum. He uses a nifty spin move to beat the right tackle...

I really think the emphasis with trying to decrease Trubisky's running has been a huge mistake. These are plays where last yr he would have tucked it and ran for a 1st down or a walk in TD. Nagy has swung the pendulum too far to the opposite direction with him. You are asking him to go against his lifetime instincts at QB, which can cause mental vapor lock.
I understand wanting him to get the ball to the playmakers and to preserve his body but I felt Trubisky's running was very opportune last yr and he knew how to avoid big hits, sans the douche late hit by Harrison Smith.

Shaheen runs with like a statue. He has terrible pad level, and that is my own expert idiot analysis on why he whiffs so many blocks, and also why every time he gets tackled it looks like he gets demolished. Little guys get under his pads and rock his shit. The one catch he tripped and accidently got his pads down against DEN, the DB bounced off his 280 lb. frame like a gnat and he was able to get an easy first down.

Not sure what you talking about. I saw no tweet. I was referring to Adi's post where he said this.
The offense basically ran up to the line of scrimmage ASAP so that Nagy could call the audibles in Trubisky’s ear based off of the defensive alignment.
Try and keep up!

No they aren't. It was Bears homers shitting on Goff for needing McVay to read defenses that are now eerily silent now that Nagy is helping Trubs read defenses.
I am actually fine with what Nagy and McVay are doing. Was just making fun of the homers.

Yes been saying it for a while. Needs to use his feet more and be more decisive in terms of taking off if the yards are there.

Leonard Floyd is really good.
The outside speed and the inside spin were devastating moves. He did it the entire 2nd half against Denver as well.
Time to talk contract.

Agreed, let him run around and make plays. He looks way better doing that then trying to be Tom Brady.
Let him try and be Russell Wilson, that might mean sometimes he runs when he does not have to, but that is his more comfortable position so be it.

So sad especially when you see Kittle (A REAL TE) doing things like this:

Not gonna say that Trubisky doesn't deserve the lion's share of the criticism for this play. At the same time, if 3 of our olinemen don't get walked back into Trubisky, maybe this play doesn't go this poorly.
I mean, for fuck's sake, 3 of our linemen just get escorted right into Trubisky's fucking knee. Lol. It's so fucking bad.
I don't know if he expected Robinson to run a different route, or if he just didn't put enough air under the ball, but it was bad. If he puts this in the back corner(again, not sure what route Robinson was supposed to run) it's either 6 or an incompletion.

Trubisky threw late if that was the only read called. Otherwise, Miller was open over the middle.
Not excusing Long, he's been awful. But Trubisky needs to release the fades and double gos much sooner.

This is how I feel, too. I feel like Nagy is trying to turn him into something he's not, so that the Harrison Smith hit and subsequent injury doesn't happen again. I think if you let him tuck it and run, and let him move more, he will be a better overall QB.
And with how bad the OL has been, we'll feel that bad OL a lot less if Trubisky can use his legs to pick up positive yards, and some positive feels about his own play. What a great way to get his confidence up by running for a first down when the OL shits the bed and we look like we're doomed on 3rd and long.

Interception was due to a recurring problem with Trubs. He pre-determined where he was going with the ball and what type of throw he was going to do (back shoulder fade).
"We had a good play going on to the main side, and then I had a one-on-one option with A-Rob," Trubisky said immediately after the game. "Obviously, you get a little excited when you get A-Rob pressed one-on-one into a fade, but the dude made a good play. I was thinking back-shoulder. He beat him over the top. Kind of a miscommunication and predetermined. Would like to have that one back."

Problem of course was ARob beat Norman off the line and so went to back of end zone. Trubs completely oblivious to that fact basically threw back shoulder to a WR that was no longer where Trubs had pre-determined he was going to be ie hand fighting with Norman at the line of scrimmage.
He also had Miller open but again made no effort to read the D and simply decided it was ARob or bust on back shoulder pass.

FWIW I have no problem with the Robinson decision. If you see your WR1 one on one then you give him a chance to make a play...however the throw was horse shit. Has to be high and back corner end zone.if Robinson doesn’t come down with it then no one does and you stay alive. Thankfully it’s a good learning point in a win. He will learn from that.

The Bears need to go all out in upgrading the O Line in the offseason. First 2 draft picks should be O line, then QB then back to O Line then look for replacement for Prince. I realize there has to be value there at the pick so this is obviously a very general plan but my god they have to fix that line. They also need a competent back-up QB. If anything happens to Mitch due to porous O Line the Bears are in a tailspin to the bottom of the division.

If he's ever going to be the QB we want him to be he'll have to figure it out from the pocket. It's taking too long but Nagy is still making sacrifices trying to build his QB. There's a madness to his method but Mitch may ultimately benefit. It's difficult to take a step back and see that this year, at least it has been for me due to expectations, but they are still developing him. At what point do they decide it's taking too long or we've reached the end? Probably Nagy's call.

I though a finally healthy Long would be an above average player and I was so wrong. I have no idea what's up with Leno besides being overrated. He's playing well below his slightly above average standard and the entire unit looks uncoordinated. I can live with Daniel and Whitehair finding their legs but that looks so much worse when everything next to them is collapsing. Can Larsen look worse than Kyle?
