I know it’s cliche to say holding happens on every play but holding is literally happening on every play
It's not just scheming. The talent discrepancy is evident on either side of the ball and 99% of Bears fans are in denial about it.
Poles has a really big offseason ahead of him. He will have cap space. He will have draft picks. He will have ZERO excuses.
The rout is on. This defense sucks without a monsoon to slow the other team down. Offense is Nagyesque. We got the guy from GB. Why the fuck does the packers offense look exactly the same as it always does and ours looks like a high school coach from Long Island drew it up. WTF
Talent wins. You can raise Vince Lombardi and Bill Walsh up from their graves and ask them to be HC and OC. Without the proper talent it doesn’t matter. Fuck your schemes. Give me talent.
Yeah, that first drive he had some decent blocks but good grief that one play where he absolutely whiffs and the WR gets smacked the second he catches it. And that contested catch he didn't make. I don't know about the worst, but he sucks. I can't even get mad about it though, it's par for the course. You have to expect it. Agreed there, both sides of the ball need a lot of help. These "cheap FAs" as Collinsworth put it, are cheap for a reason. I just wanted them to put up a fight, instead we are getting the same shit we ALWAYS get.
All we had to hang our hat on this year was schemes, because we knew the talent was lacking. Hopefully some of these guys turn out for future years as we rebuild. Man, that shot of Eberflus right before the half. I did not have "OUR FUCKING COACH" with the "deer-in-headlights where the fuck am I?" look. Jesus.
I don't get the sense that any current players give a shit about these bi-annual ass rapings. Some guys have been through their share in their short careers. No one's fired up or upset. No one cares.
