Let Trubisky and Foles suffer next year, then get your QB. Drafting one won't do any good without fixing the line, otherwise he'll have David Carr syndrome.

I would absolutely plan to be in cap hell. Knowing that, we should not move any hits to future years unless it's an ascending player that can be painlessly absorbed. If it looks like tank mode like Miami and Jacksonville did, I'm in if the turnaround is shorter.

Two last thoughts on this game and both involve defense. First, Pagano has to unleash many more blitz packages this week. He tends to be very patient and judicious with them. Time to send Roquan and Skrine. They have been very effective in the past. Lastly, never let them line up Adams on Skrine. He has been getting slaughtered on the out fade and the out fade go. Rodgers happens to be the best ever at those throws. I'll be looking at that during the game to see if a safety cheats a little to help.

The Packers weakness is our weakness. They can't stop the run and we can't run. Our hope is Trubisky igniting the run game. They averaged 144 YPG in the games he started this year. Plus the Colts physically beat up the Packers, so they may be a little slow out of the gate. Add that we had a bye to get a little fresher and develop a game plan.(hopefully not the Wile E Coyote kind) We have a chance. It's Packer week! Bear down!!!!

Unless we have a few miracles take place, we are on a downward path. Here's my plan for a quick turnaround. Fire Pace and replace him with Louis Riddick. I don't of many more football people I have been more impressed with. He's smart, knowledgeable, decisive, commanding and diverse. Give him full command to hire and fire at will. My choice would be that he hire someone like Dabo Sweeney to be HC. Also, beg Bill Polian to be president of your organization for two years and give him free reign. We know this going to be a two to three year change, so let's think 2 years ahead to start. Our defense is older, but incredibly talented. We have collateral there. If we could trade Mack, Fuller and Hicks we could a few nice picks out of them. (Cap guys chime in) Mack should garner a first at minimum. Fuller a second and Hicks a third. If I'm off base there, let me know. Definitely would love to trade Quinn away for a fifth, but not sure anyone would want that salary. On the offensive side of the ball, I'm resigning Mitch to a two year, prove it, deal and keeping Foles as a back up. Now that we've traded our defensive studs away, we have Jaylon, Roquan and Eddie as our future stars to build around. Going into the off season we know we'll need to draft replacements for all three. Plus, I'm cutting Skrine. On the offensive side of the ball I'm cutting Harris, Graham, Massie, Leno and Coward. There's three out the door that we know we'll have to draft well on. For the draft we have 2 firsts, 2 seconds, 2 thirds, 1 fourth, 1 fifth, 4 sixth(3 comp) and a seventh. When drafting, I don't want to put a round peg in a square hole just to draft a need. I want the right fit type of player every time. Our coaches first need to state what our identity will be, then draft for that identity. Since I'm doing this, I choose big, nasty, physical, tough minded and smart. My first six picks are going to both fronts. (Three for each side) It all starts up front with blocking and tackling, running and stopping the run and getting after the quarterback. These six players must be big and powerful on offense and relentless on defense. Nothing else matters unless we win at the line of scrimmage. I'm not drafting a QB until the line is fixed the following year. We have 7 picks left so give me another speed receiver, a running back, 2 linebackers and 3 db's. BPA will sort them out. I may even keep Leno around if he takes a pay cut to back up the youngsters. This is a work in progress, so put on your GM hats on and help me improve this.

Yea, we trended up quickly after the Mack trade, but have wasted it so far. Now we are on the way down. Mayock and Gruden bit the bullet for a couple years, but continue to trend up.

100% if Coward never sees the field again. Ifedi has been much better than him.

Hell Skrine fell down 2 or 3 times in cover last Monday.

Our safeties have been useless in coverage this year. They play so far off the ball, they can't get to anything. I was having a good morning until I read Coward's name.

If I need to explain how bad Foles has been, it's not worth discussing, lol. Everything was better with Trubisky. He's not the long term answer, but he's the only answer this year. PPG, run YPG, TD/INT ratio and TOP will all improve.

I've said this before, but whoever is most complicit in giving us this "offensive", pronounce how you wish, line should be publicly strung up and castrated. That being said, the coaches and Foles did them no favors. How can Foles see a jail break blitz coming and not hit the hot route? How can our OC know ours a blitzing down and distance and send in a play with no hot route? Criminal stupidity.

I'm not doing the breakdown this week, as I've seen enough. Foles is a pussy and I'm not talking about the injury. At least 6 times he could have set his feet and thrown the ball last night and he chose to do something other than fundamental. He doesn't show the mental discipline and toughness to succeed. Like 6 teams already knew this, but our resident geniuses now something other good franchises don't. I'm done with him. I don't know that happened to the gameplan, but WTF? Our 2nd and 3rd drives netted 80% of our yards against a defense that is not good. Our you heard our next GM commentating the game, you would have heard him criticizing our play calling and use of formations the entire second half. If you are not going to use Ryan Nall, let him go. He's been developing for 3 years. Give the roster spot to someone else. Seriously, three years with the team and a WR and some dude I've never heard of get more time at RB than he did. Set him free! Lastly, Rashad Coward is the worst offensive lineman I've ever seen, yet he still gets to play. Somebody should be tarred and feathered for allowing him to waste a jersey. I said ever and meant it! Fire them all and hire Louis Riddick and give him president and GM duties. Also bring in Bill Polian as a one year consultant to help Riddick revamp everything down to the equipment manager.

I have never seen a team that gives such effort suck so badly. This week's offensive breakdown is going to be offensive. I'll start with, Nick Foles is a pussy! Yeah I said it...

Shrine has lost his footing at least there times tonight.

My man! Bear down

We are winning tonight. Place your bets!

Here's what I'm looking forward to tonight. In reference to NYC and 2K's posts, we are going top get another piece of the puzzle tonight. With Nagy going bizarro world with formations and personnel, the OL and skill players stay out of sync. Lazor seems to be the opposite of Nagy. He likes to use what works and make a defense defend it. He also likes multiple plays out of the same formation. What do you get when you use a lot of offensive formations? A = that many more defensive formations. Lazor will simplify the formations and keep the defense honest with misdirection out of the same formations. It's all out of Nagy's playbook, but he won't come out with random and bizarre plays that Nagy does. I look for the team to have some sort of theme and rhythm tonight. All while being less predictable.

If Lazor succeeds as a play caller, it won't be a huge indictment on Nagy. It's still Nagy's offense and game plan. He would also win huge points with the team showing he's man enough to know what his strengths and weaknesses are. Huge win overall if Lazor succeeds.

With the two of these breakdowns I've done, it's obvious what is working. Anything to a TE, rollouts, and up tempo. Our most effective running back is Patterson right now and he doesn't cut. I would also like to see Foles under center more to help Monty with some quick hitting run plays. When in the shotgun, the back has no momentum at the snap, forcing them to trust the hole and go. There were holes all game, they just weren't there long.

Let me add that Hambright looked good as a run blocker, while Bars was terrible at run blocking. Our OL is talentless without Daniels and Whitehair. Ifedi can run block but not pass block. Coward can't recognize anything in a zone block. Leno is average at pass and slightly below at run. Maddie is average at run and below at pass. Our interior must be above average at both run and pass. Right and left tackle need to be prototypical. It would be my greatest day as a Bears fan to see our first 3 picks bolstering both lines with 2 OT and a DT.

Here's the latest offensive breakdown. I wish I had time to do this weekly. Note: When I say a run is R2, that equals right (2 hole or A gap). Play Actual Play Player Comments 1 Pass Swing pass left to Patterson for 8 2 Pass Play action pass to Graham for 24 3 Run middle Arob and Mooney No holes. LB and CB run blitz leaving Mooney and Arob alone. If they come down a chip there would be a huge gain. 1 yard 4 Quick pass rt Pass to Miller 4 yards 5 Pass rt Five yards to Arob. 4th and half a yard 6 Run R4 Nagy Nagy gets cute and calls a fake to Patterson, then handoff to Monty. Takes way too long for the down, distance and defensive alignment. Stupid call. If you are doing play Monty should have lead block with Foles rolling behind him. Turnover downs. 1 Pass rt Play action naked QB option rt to Patterson for 5 2 Run L4 Counter pitch to Patterson. Well blocked. Too many playing the box 2 yards. 3 Pass rt Mooney quick rollout, bunch formation. Mooney takes to long to hit route, messing up the play. 1 Run rt outside Miller motions left, nobody goes with him. Handoff to Monty. Too many people to block. Foles misses chance to audible out of play. Loss 1 2 Run middle Monty Draw to Monty. Perfect call on blitz. Monty inexplicably cuts when he already had a lane and turns potential 15 yards into 5. 3 Pass middle Foles Pass to Miller. Foles step up in pocket. Bad footwork and inaccurate to Miller 1 Run left Foles Play action pass. Foles fails to see Mooney cut to the middle for 15+ 2 Pass Ifedi Ifedi gets beat on the inside. Foles takes forever to set. Throws away 3 Pass Foles Inaccurate to Arob to the right. Foles does not like pressure 1 Pass rt Pass to Graham. Should have had Kmet in for that. 4 yards could've been 8 2 Pass middle Foles Rushes throw to Arob. Better option was Graham who had his guy beat. Nothing 3 pass left Foles Has Mooney open on 6 man blitz, waits too long wanting more. Goes to Mooney off back foot and needs to trust the system. 4 Fake punt Mingo Ist down. Nagy dials up a needed play 5 Run middle Monty Up the middle for 1 yard. Monty misses a gaping hole at R4. Terrible vision 6 Toss left Patterson for 7. good job Leno 7 Run middle Nagy Terrible call. Handoff timing doesn’t match the OL push. Play would work with Foles under center. Too much time from the gun. 1 Pass rt Nice clear out play to Graham for 13. Again, this should be dialed up for Kmet who is more athletic. 2 sack Foles Foles hits his plant foot and fails to throw to Mooney over the middle. Then Coward gets beat for the sack. Kmet also got turned around in pass pro. I don't what Foles saw. 3 Run Hambright delay handoff to Monty. Loss 2. The rookie gets thrown off his block. That was a missed opportunity 4 Pass rt Monty Delay slant to Patterson. WR's make nice wall to the left. Monty misses his seal block and defender is able to turn the play in. Missed opportunity for a big play 1 penalty Leno false start 2 Penalty Coward Hands to face. 1st and 25 3 pass left Mooney for 7 4 pass left Foles Monty for 6. Foles doesn't see Mooney wide open to the left 5 pass left Incomplete. Halftime 1 Run rt outside Foles Foles drops snap. Patterson loses 3 2 Pass deep left Miller for 34. Perfect throw 3 Pass deep right Coward Ball way underthrown. Looks to be tipped. Coward fails to see delayed blitz 4 run L4 Hambright Monty for 3. Hambright literally falls down while whiffing on double team with Bars. Play should've went for 10 5 pass middle Foles Foles fails to step in pocket. Scrambles left and throws right to patterson for 6 yards. If he steps up, he Patterson isolated as the release for a first down. Note next play 6 penalty Hambright false start 7 penalty Graham false start 1 pass rt 5 yards to Mooney on rollout 2 pass rt 7 yards to Arob on quick out 3 pass deep right Play action to Mooney for 22 yards. Smart throw by Foles 4 run L2 Monty for 3. Sometimes I wonder about Monty cutting too often instead just going. 5 sack Graham, Coward Graham and Coward both whiffed on their blocks. Titans sent 5 plus 2 on delay. Foles fails to recognize. 6 pass deep rt Nice pass to Ridley for 18. Foles moved in pocket 7 sack and grounding Foles, Monty Terrible execution between Foles and Monty to sell the fake for the bootleg. OLB blows up the play 8 penalty offsides defense 9 pass short rt bubble screen to Graham for 3 10 pass short rt Monty Monty fumbles for defensive TD. Monty jukes for no damn reason. 1 Run middle 4yds 2 pass deep rt Great throw and catch for 23. Arob 3 pass left Arob for 4 4 Run rt outside Patterson for 5 5 pass batted down 6 Run L4 Monty for 4 7 Run L4 Monty for 5 8 pass deep rt Missed Mooney in the endzone 9 pass rt Miller for 5 10 pass rt Ridley for 6 11 pass rt Mooney for 6 12 run Coward Fake pitch to Patterson. Arob gets blown up a can't follow with Jet sweep or shuttle pass. Coward is 3 yards deep, idoit. 13 Run L6 Monty Monty is developing a really bad habit of stopping and juking as soon as he gets the ball 14 Pass Tipped at LOS 15 FG 1 pass left 5 for Arob 2 pass deep left Arob for 27 yards 3 pass middle Monty for 13 4 pass rt Mooney for 1 5 run L2 Monty for 4 6 pass left Hambright Hambright gets used a turnstile, Foles has no chance 7 pass middle Miller for 12 8 pass middle deflected high 9 pass rt TD Nall 1 Pass middle Miller 6 yards to Miller. Fumble 1 pass middle Nall for 11 2 pass rt loss of one. Roughing the passer 3 pass left Graham for 3 4 pass left Foles Throw away. Nall wide open underneath 5 pass middle defenseless receiver penalty. Bad call 6 pass deep left Mooney catches out of bounds 7 pass left Nall for 12 8 pass left Arob for 11 9 Pass middle TD for Graham To summarize: The two fumbles killed us. We dominated almost every offensive statistic. Foles had an up and down game. It seems like he goes through half of each game not as engaged as he should be. Hambright and Coward had 4 mistakes apeice to lead the OL. That's too many plays ruined by two players. Montgomery needs to get his head out of his ass. He had 6 mistakes. Hopefully the beating he is taking isn't affecting his psyche. Foles led the way with 11 mistakes, mostly due to pressure. Foles is not off the hook with me because he left several first downs on the field when we needed them. Since big dick Nick had his cocky press conference, we are 0-3 and he has left a lot to be desired. Foles 2-4 and needs to be more consistent. Overall, I was happy with Nagy and the OL despite all the heat they have been taking. The WR corps shined. I definitely want to see more Kmet and Nall And of course the D did enough.

I'd fire Pace way before Nagy. The OL is a dumpster fire and no way you can build any type of offense on what we've been seeing. I'm going to do another breakdown tomorrow. I'm starting to sour on a surprise player...

It's all about the math and attitude. There is not a 2nd or 3rd rounds player out there that doesn't think they should've been a first rounder. They come in pissed off and hungry at a third of the price. And you get more of them...

With the Jets likely winning the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes, they will likely try to get some value for Darnold. This is just me, but Darnold is better than what we have. So what say you? What would we be required to give up? I would love to load up on OL and have an NFL ready QB out of the draft.

Thanks NYC
