This is the first game in a while that the Bears are not favored, go figure lol. I am surprised it is only by 4 points. Philly is an even more Jekyll and Hyde team than the Bears. In each of Philly's wins, they've scored over 30 points and in their 4 losses, they have allowed 24 or more. Their offense has scored 20 or more in 7 out of 8 games and their defense has allowed 20 or more pts 6 times. The Bears counter with 6 games allowing 17 or less and 3 games scoring 17 or more. The Eagles are coming home after 3 games on the road. They just had a big win in Buffalo after losses to the Vikings and Cowboys. They go into their bye after the Bears game, so I would assume they want to go into that week with some momentum. The Bears are obviously on a 3-game losing streak, the longest losing streak of the Nagy's tenure. If the team falls to 3-5, the season is over. They have to string together at least 5 straight wins to have a chance. We will see what this team is made of. Does the defense start making splash plays again? Can they stop Howard and Sanders? Does the offense finally play a solid game? I doubt it, nothing to this point shows me they will Eagles 27-16 Trubisky less than 200 yards passing, two INTs and a fumble. Pineiro misses a FG.

If you watch a game at the end of 2017 like the Bengals game and then watch the Chargers game from last week, you would think the Bengals game is from this year and the Chargers game is from his rookie year. There is something wrong with him right now, whether it's the injury or Nagy is making him process too many things at once and it's information overload. Nagy needs to strip it down to the basics. Give Mitch two options, not four options, each with a variable that is based on different conditions, pre and post snap. KISS, Keep it simple stupid.

Here is a list of NFL QB's drafted from 2015-2019 and the number of games with 20 or more passing attempts (College/NFL): 2015 Mariota: 39/55=94 Winston: 25/59=84 2016 Prescott: 32/55=87 Goff: 35/50=85 Wentz: 18/48=66 Brissett: 24/23=47 2017 Watson: 30/32=62 Mahomes: 29/25=54 Trubisky: 14/29=43 2018 Mayfield: 44/21=65 Jackson: 34/14=48 Rosen: 29/15=44 Darnold: 24/17=41 Allen: 19/15=34 2019 Jones: 33/6=39 Murray: 15/8=23 Minshew: 24/8=32 Haskins: 15/0=15 Of the 18 QBs listed from 2015-2019, Trubisky has the least amount of games in college with 20 or more passing attempts. Counting college and NFL games, Trubisky is more in line with the 2018 class in terms of in-game experience throwing the football (20+ passes). If Trubisky was in the 2018 draft, he would be 4th behind Rosen and ahead of Darnold. Watching his play this season, he is more in line with the play of Mayfield, Rosen, Darnold, and Allen than Watson and Mahomes. Coincidence or not? Even in the 2019 draft, a guy like Daniel Jones only has 4 fewer games played than Trubisky with 20 or more passing attempts in college and the pros. I am now at the point where I feel like I know what we have at QB. However, are we giving him enough time? I feel like he has had every excuse under the sun to perform and we have yet to see any incremental improvements. I can't tell you anything he is doing better now compared to his rookie year. That scares me. There are books and studies out there about "mastering" skills, like playing an instrument. Outside of otherworldly talents like Mahomes, do guys like Trubisky just need more time? I think so, but I don't think that will be with the Bears. Unless there is significant improvement this year, I can't see how the team brings him back next season. Outside of the 4th quarter in the Eagles playoff game, Trubisky seems like a different QB since his injury last year. There was a clear improvement throughout the season (even documented in the offseason), then we come into this year and he looks like a completely different guy. The team even hid him from the media and league for the preseason. Then he comes out and looks lost for most of the year and the offense looks much better with Daniel under center. Now he gets hurt again and is playing with a brace on his non-throwing shoulder. Another excuse. Only time will tell, but I did find it interesting that he was more in line with the draft class after him in terms of passing experience.

We hired a GM with no experience who drafted a QB no experience to then hire a HC with no experience. Recipe for disaster.

Connor, from looking at all the contract sites, it looks like they have to cut him before a date in March, and would not incur any dead money. I could be wrong but that is what it looks like. I would absolutely cut him. He is a bust, absolutely useless. Mack is getting doubled and chipped on every play and Floyd cannot beat a single blocker.

Well, well, well. Guess who is back? Bad Mitch. Right when I was praising him for taking care of the ball, he has 0 TDs, an INT, and a fumble (2 turnovers). Right before his fumble, he missed a wide-open Gabriel on a deep throw. Gabriel was covered by a LB. Talk about a gut punch. I don't know how the team can justify running Mitch out there again. He made one play with his legs, the first of the year, so at this point, without the mobility, how is he better than Daniel?

Trade every player not on a rookie deal outside of ARob. I would put Turdbisky on IR and would even consider firing Nagy. Let Pagano take over and bring Vic back as DC.

He makes it if we don't kneel and lose 3 yards? What the hell was that, give it to Montgomery and you might make it a 35 yarder. This loss is on Nagy and Trubisky. Trubisky needs to be benched. We need to go 7-2 to get 10 wins, lmao, we will be lucky to win 2 more games. What a joke! At least we will have a high second-round pick!

He is not the answer, he is not an NFL QB. I don't care what play is called, what the protection is, he doesn't have a QB brain. Nagy needs to man up and bench him regardless of the outcome of the game. Haven't they seen enough?

Play action, Gabriel wide open, Trubisky over throws him by 5 yards, wow. Then, insult to injury, Trubisky fumbles the ball and the Chargers recover. Seriously, I'm done with the Trubisky experiment, it didn't work. Time to admit defeat and move on. Put him on IR to save face. Start Daniel the rest of the year.

One of the worst outcomes was a win when Trubisky played bad. Well, we might not even win now after that INT and even if we do, I still think we need to go in a different direction at QB.

Great, welcome back bad Mitch, terrible underthrow on deep pass, easily picked off and ran back into our territory.

This defense is now getting frustrating, we drop 9 and let up an easy completion.

Amazing, they go I-formation and magically can run the ball and the play action works? Brilliant! About damn time. That might have been the best drive of the season. Bears 16-7.

Wow, defense has a shutout, then in two plays allows a TD with SD going 75 yards for an easy score to take the lead.

Trubisky escapes pocket and runs towards sidelines behind LOS on 2nd down and instead of throwing it away since he is out of the pocket, he takes a sack?

Man, we couldn't score a TD from 1st and Goal. Bad Mitch is back.

Thanks for listening!

Trubisky with a couple of better throws but man Nagy's plays with motion and misdirection are faking no one. 3 times was the defense sitting on the play and not going for the fake. Then Pineiro decides to aim right with wind from left to right and doinks it. Ugh this team.

Defense looks good so far. I don't like Fuller playing so far off, eventually they are going to start dinking and dunking us to death.

Fuller playing 10 yards off Ekeler?

We get a nice 1st down on Montgomery's first run, then we have a 3 and out as Trubisky is sacked. He didn't look too confident, ugh. Looks like he is what he is.

That's awesome! BEAR DOWN!

Check out this article: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/should-the-bears-look-for-a-new-quarterback/ Now they only look at 1st round QBs (does that matter?), and cherrypicked QB Rating as the main stat to use. Either way, at this point, even after a bad start to this season, Trubisky is still up there in regards to QB Rating after 31 starts.

I love Danny, and I hope we can somehow find a way to re-sign him.
