soulman Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I don't believe this is a revelation to anyone Windy. If there was any one area where a lack of preseason tune up snaps may have had more impact than anywhere else it was probably the OL who got the least benefit from an extended period without game level contact and coordination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of bad was a shock to me. Whitehair and Leno were unplayable bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I don't know how to assign blame for this one when 3 critical portions of the offense were terrible. If you had a blind-*** QB and bad playcalling that would be enough, usually, to derail a game. Add in the O Line and they're lucky they didn't get demoted to NCAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafreak Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I will have concerns about Nagy losing the locker room if this crap continues. It's only cute and fun until it isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't lack of preparation top the list? You've played the game. You were an OL too. We know they're both capable of far better. We've seen that. Same with Mitch. Face facts. Pettine was more prepared to frustrate Nagy than Nagy was to frustrate him. The whole game plan was based of forcing Mitch to beat them overland and continuing to tempt Nagy to play along and it worked. I'm assigning 80% of that loss to Nagy not having his guys well enough prepared to play and to be honest I'm pretty f'n tired of seeing THAT year after year after year. You can't use not playing your starters as an excuse simply to avoid injuries and to focus instead on the GB game then show up so unprepared you **** the bed. Unacceptable? Yeah, and totally inexcusable from a fans perspective. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if O line coach was hot garbage that should not have happened to multiyear veteran O linemen. There are like 5 different blocking schemes in NFL. They just flat screwed it up. They know they F'd up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Nagy needs to do is evaluate his own role in this. Is he really the HC or a glorified OC/Play Caller? I posted a thread on that so feel free to add your thoughts brother.

But they acted like they didn't if that makes any sense. He also didn't figure MT was going to miss basic reads again and again, but he did. He didn't figure his sure handed receivers were going to drop a lot of key passes, but they did. Sometimes things are just different when the lights are on. You think you are ready and your team just isn't. It's momentum. Things just snowball and get worse and worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any and all of this could also happen to a team who was not as well prepared for both contact and the scheme they were facing as the Bears were last Thursday. This was not how Pettine had played them in the past and I'm about 99.9% certain it would not have been part of any pregame practices or walk through prior to the game. We got out coached and snookered plain and simple. It was inexcusable. That's my story (attitude) and I'm stickin' to it. Slainte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract_thought Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The idea that the team was unprepared because they didn't play in preseason is preposterous. Numerous teams kept their starters out for the preseason and had none of the same issues. There were teams that played starters more heavily (e.g. Tampa) and looked sloppy.
