It just struck me as this is the reason why Nagy doesn't feel the need to throw past the sticks on 3rd and long. He practices against a defense that can't tackle, won't tackle, so the short stuff obviously works well every day of the week save for Sundays. So naturally he assumes that because it works against our D it will work against anyone.
I’m ready to say Mack is not elite tier anymore but can still be very good. He is not helped by useless Jacklegs like Quinn but he’s also not putting games on his shoulders anymore and hasn’t for at least a season. But he’s getting paid a massive portion of the cap. I guess I’m closest to what pat said earlier.
You and I were both on the wagon for wanting Pace to have traded him, presuming the report of the opportunity was there. I'm not ready yet to say that he's no good - I just need to watch more. But I'll make sure I watch him specifically next game, because I'm willing to agree if I see it.
Lol timeout? Come on Nagy, you have a play up your sleeve to prevent points here? They are running out the clock, literally, and we’re still giving up yards.
Rams have actually accidentally got first downs on 3rd and long because the Bears defense is that bad
Can't make these excuses for him. Mack needs to make plays regardless of what anyone else on the D is doing. This is what he's paid for and this is what used to do once upon a time.
I just want to point out I paid $5 to peacock to watch this game live. I overpaid quit a bit apparently.
Dalton is skipping two yard passes to his receivers with time running out and no hope to win have we taken a shot over 15 yards all night? Might be the only team in the NFL that hasn’t. this offense is still decades behind the rest of the league. This season is already done and it’s week 1
How fitting Donald gets his first sack on the 4th and 10 to effectively end the game. This team sucks even worse than I thought.
That would’ve been a perfect time to run a 2 min drill with Fields rather than Nagy trying to get Dalton to pad his stats in garbage time.
This is the bit that pisses me off the most. Jordan fucking Love played today. So did Fields, but Jordan Love played in Garbage time, Fields took these gadget plays a few times (and hey, he did get his first TD, which was cool to see). There's no reason to not see him at the end of the game taking some routine snaps in real game time, even if it's garbage time. Invaluable and we squander the opportunity. Because our head coach is a mental midget asshole who needs to retroactively fired 2 years ago.
