BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The OL struggles were showing last year in run blocking, but pass protection is now an issue as well. It's weird too, as not only is Long playing badly, Leno playing sloppy but even Whitehair and Daniels have been nothing special to my eye. We're now in a position where Trubisky needs to come back hot for us to be talking playoffs. I think a lot of you against using any draft capital on a QB might be right, we need help up front first.

The only offenses worse right now are the Jets and Dolphins. I am not sure how you rescue this offense, unless Trubisky takes a big step with a mangled shoulder or we magically stumble onto some starting quality OLmen.

WindyCity Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I do not see 9-7 getting anything in the NFC. There might be 3 teams in the North with a better record than that. This offense is a broken mess. Nagy has been talking about the run game for 22 games now and it is getting worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler1215 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Looks like we were sleeping during the game. I believe leaving Chicago on Friday was an issue. Had we left earlier in the week, it may not have been. Nagy says that wasn't the case, but it looked like it was. When we made our comeback, it looked more like the Raisers shooting themselves in the foot more than we're getting pressure, creating turnovers, etc. Oakland dominated the line on both sides, and that's mainly why they won. We need a much better game plan with the Saints coming in in two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearDownTexas Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 12 hours ago, Madmike90 said: NFL UK had a poll a few years back that had the Bears as the 2nd most supported team in the UK behind the New England Patriots... Also have to commend the sheer volume of American fans that traveled over...the hotel we were in was full of fans from both sides but the Bears outnumbered the Raiders fans about 4-1 and on the streets it was more like 10-1...got talking to a good few of them at the hotel bar and all seemed pretty cool if a little confused with some of the accents The Patriots being the most supported team in the UK is kind of ironic to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel makes awful throws. Tabor is a fool. Raiders' OL is massive. All of that is true whether the Bears are playing in London or Chicago. IMO it had nothing to do with jet lag.

RJ_11 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Well we were absolutely god awful. But I have never cared less about a loss. This weekend made me so glad I chose to support the Bears all those years ago. My Saturday was spent meeting Akiem Hicks and Haha Clinton-Dix, then off to a completely packed out pub that was decked out in navy and orange, and was playing the fight song with the entire place singing along. Come back soon please Chicago Bears, I absolutely adore this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chose Hicks because he's one of my favourites of the last few years. Exactly how he comes across during interviews too, laughing and joking with everyone. Missed Peanut Tillman by about two minutes as well, would have loved to meet him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's a bummer and odd planning for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
