I mean when Mike Davis goes to Carolina and looks like a pro bowler after looking worse than Montgomery I think it’s fair to say this is a coaching / line issue. No rushing attack should be this bad, bad running back or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Rams look so much better coached on offense. This game has blowout potential with bad the Bears defense looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The Bears are so slow on offense. Now they are going to call a timeout to run a terrible play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Pathetic not to call a timeout there to force a punt, but it’s not like Ginn would even try to catch it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) I would love to know what Hicks is talking about out there, he looks like he’s smiling when everything is going to hell. He’s the one I always see getting flagged on defense like Harris getting flagged on offense. This offensive line sucks. What happened to all of the plays they ran well in the first year? Why can’t they run sweeps like the Rams can? Edited October 27, 2020 by The Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawk Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 They're the same old Bears and always will be. They've had the two worst offensive tackles in the league for the better part of two decades and never have done squat to improve them. Its a sad joke.

Well - Foles can't hit when guys are wide open, they have bad drops, they have stupid penalties, and quite frankly, their players (not named Mooney) rarely win one on one matchups. Oh - and Montgomery is slow and TERRIBLE. HE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. He is the worst starting running back I can remember the Bears have (and I remember James Allen pretty well - in fact that is probably who he reminds me of; I always remember James Allen never got downfield, he always did a slow stutter jump forward thing that was brutal. Montgomery looks like he's in quick sand a ton. And quite frankly - Nagy does an awful job getting his best players the ball. He's usually scheming to get Patterson way too many touches (his whole career has shown he is an awesome special teams player and a very ocassional gadget player. In no way shape or form should Patterson be getting the # of touches he is getting. And Beast - I think on the play Hicks was smiling, he was smiling because it was an absurd offsides call given how delayed the olinemen jumping off was. Either way - the Bears absolutely railed to make plays. I actually don't think Nagy is an awful head coach, I do think he's an TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. Like he absolutely sucks at it - that said, the personell suck too. Oline, running backs, blah receiving corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Is this team better with Foles vs. Trubisky? Or is it basically the exact same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I haven't followed Foles his whole career, but I never remember him making excuses or throwing others under the bus. This is a DAMNING comment from his starting QB. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1320929740690198530 We were talking to Nick Foles yesterday and sometimes play calls come in, and I know I don't have time to execute that play call. And I'm the one out here getting hit... Matt Nagy, he doesn't know how much time there is back here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 And Foles played awful tonight - but there were a ton of times where you literally could see him staring down Nagy for how pissed he was at the playcalling. Not playing with tempo, etc. Going to be interesting. By the way - that was right there with Trubisky's performance against the Saints last year. Oh - and why exactly is Ginn returning punts?

Chi Town Sox Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Mitch isn't coming in for 6-10 plays a game on 3rd down (a la Taysom Hill). Foles is a statue out there, why can't Mitch come out there WITH Foles and try to get cute with a dual threat instead of Patterson repeatedly getting the ball out of the backfield for a whopping 2.8YPC, insanely frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're running out of players whose "fault" it is that Nagy's offense is terrible "It's Jordan Howard's fault" "It's Mitch's fault" "It's trey burton's fault" "It's david montgomery's fault" "It's Foles' fault" Whatever Nagy thinks an nfl offense should be like, he needs to realize he doesn't have the talent to run it or his own talent to coach it, and hand it off to someone who on gameday can keep better track of player usage and isn't so obsessed with trying to fool the DC into not doing what they expect so we run what they'd prefer.

Like he absolutely sucks at it - that said, the personell suck too. Oline, running backs, blah receiving corps. “officials called Akiem Hicks for four infractions (two of which were declined). Hicks has been called for nine penalties, which is the most in the NFL, one ahead of Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith.“ https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/bears/ct-cb-chicago-bears-10-thoughts-brad-biggs-20201027-geceoobr65acvk6la5xl53sf5i-story.html He shouldn’t be smiling for the amount of penalties he’s been called on and the chunks of yards the defense gives up in high leverage situations. It is easy to blame Nagy and have people want to fire him as a coach but then if he gets fired Pace has to go to and a new regime has to start over again. Maybe Nagy gives up play calling or they invest in the offensive line with a high pick next year. In the short term, put Patterson at returning punts, run some sweeps with receivers, try some play action, stop running up the gut with Montgomery and go outside the tackles more, use more sets with Graham and Kmet where there is either play action or straight passes, include a Trubisky package and use Pearce or Miller as a second running back while ending the Patterson experiment. On the radio in Chicago, all I hear about is Matt Nagy and his play calling and less about changes to help the team or make things better in the long term. It is lazy analysis of the Chicago media or fans just focus on Nagy and not the rest of the team. I’m glad you see more than just Nagy being the problem though.

You don't need to draft and sign a TE/WR every year which the Bears seem to do while not addressing the O line. Leno and Massie went from being average to terrible and I am not certain what the Coward experiment is all about. At this point the offense and all of the coaching staff need to evaluated and sadly I think Nagy needs to give up the paly calling or be let go if he cannot see that. Pace needs to look at this and wonder how bad Mitch really is as Foles doesn't look all that different back there. Maybe Nagy is the problem.
