I hated the 2nd half offense. The Bears did exactly what they needed to do in the first half and scored late in the 2nd right before half to go up 17-0. Then they came out in the 2nd half and looked terrible.
The defense forced the Giants to punt on their first possession which gave the Bears the ball at their own 25. Trubisky went into fart mode and had a bad INT. That gave the Giants the ball at the Bears 25. The defense held again and only allowed 4 yards and a 39 yard FG. To me, those points are on the offense.
On the next drive, the offense moves the ball, then gets stalled at the Giants 38. Instead of going for it on 4th up 14, Nagy punts and it works. O'Donnell pushes them back to the 5. So its late in the 3rd and the Giants have to go 95 yards to score a TD. Jones passes his way to the 1 yard line, then Lewis finishes the drive off with a TD run. This was the worst drive of the game for the defense. 95 yards without Barkley?
So now it is pucker time, 17-10 and the offense is doing nothing. So just like clockwork, the Bears get a couple of first downs, then the dreaded stare down your receiver INT by Trubisky. ARob had 4-5 defenders around him when the ball was deflected. At this point, the team had zero confidence in Trubisky. They were playing to not lose the game, and now he has his 2nd INT with good field position in 10 minutes.
The Giants march right down the field and luckily the defense only bends and allows another FG on a turnover. That is 6 points on the offense. 17-13 and the wheels are falling off.
The offense gets the ball at 7:36, and Montgomery took over. He got the team down to the Giants 31 before Trubisky took a one-yard sack instead of throwing the ball away. Right on character, Santos misses a 50 yarder and the Giants now have the ball at the 40 with 2:02 left. The Giants get all the way down to the 10 and get a shot at a TD.
There was no way in hell the game should've been that close. Trubisky looked as bad as he did in the first 3 quarters against Detroit. This was a bad Giants team and we won the 2nd game on the last play of the game. Right now, this team feels like a 6 or 7 win team and will get destroyed against a real opponent.
