I was afraid our defense wouldn't be up to the task to day and it wasn't. Trubisky causes a lot more problems for us than Foles does. You are just a much more complete team at this point. Here's hoping you can sneak into the playoffs and then you never know, maybe some magic can happen. I'll be cheering for you guys! It may be a short lived victory. Vikings have a lot of talented young players on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 First game I have watched in many weeks. I watched in fast mode, so I missed a lot of details, I would have to watch again to really notice things. I did notice that broadcast had entire O line wrong on what positions they were playing. Not sure why that was. New O line line up was interesting though when I saw it. I noticed Bars and Mustipher are playing and Ifedi has moved to RT and there are actually running lanes. Whitehair looks 100x better at G than C. Saw him drive a guy 5 yards off ball and pancake him. Have to go back and find that play. Pretty awesome. Funny that everyone in media seems to believe Montgomery suddenly got good. Or Nagy is finally giving him the ball (that is actually partly true, but was it working more consistently Nagy would have done it more). Montgomery was always good. O line play is currently good enough to show it that’s all. Also funny how Nagy who doesn’t know offense is suddenly HC of a scoring offense when O line play is better. Imagine that. Must be all Lazor calling better plays, right? Not saying Nagy didn’t make mistakes. 3rd and 1 call on first series made me angry. I think what makes Nagy a bad coach is lack of practicing fundamentals and recognizing who should be playing and who shouldn’t and when to punish bad or lazy play, not lack of X’s and O’s. I see Johnson is out with a shoulder injury. That’s not good. Knock on him in draft was his bad shoulders. Defense seems to be missing him like it misses Goldman. Word on street (i.e. one YouTuber who I believe) is Mack is playing through a dozen injuries that would sideline most guys. That’s all I got for now. Maybe I will watch it again tonight. But probably won’t be able to because I just got new Xbox for my son and have a feeling he will be playing it tonight (on big TV where I watch games). Merry Christmas boys. Get to church this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Remember when big media story was that Nagy took over play calling for Reid and KC started scoring more points? Not sure what my point is there. Just a memory that popped in my head. Sure there is a lesson there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Jackson's bad play, clear as day, and I'm not involved in the league in any sort of professional capacity. Answer me this--why did Pagano play him so much in the box last year, but NOT this year? Set up for a loss, but it won't be soul-crushing. It will be liberating, and life affirming. We'll be rid of Pace, Nagy, and Trubisky. We'll have a chance to get people in charge that can, maybe, salvage the promise the present core of this team has...without mucking things up over ego and stupidity. So you would let a 26 year old all-pro safety walk after his rookie deal expired? Based on his performance the market set the deal that Jackson received, and again I agree he hasn't had the takeaways this year, but he is a solid piece to build around.

The extension came after 2019, which was a season for him that gave hints that PERHAPS 2018 was an aberration. They didn't need to extend him at that point. They could've let 2020 play out, because now it's looking more and more like 2018 WAS an aberration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract_thought Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We're in year 6 of Pace's tenure and we've finally found a combination of OL that can block the run. It only took replacing 4/5 of the original starting group... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point but the guy was all-rookie his first year, and probably should have made the pro bowl, all-pro next year and had a decent year in 2019. I just saying that giving him an extension at that point was certainly understandable and especially not Pace's worst decision. We have a lot more of Pace's decisions to question, just not THAT decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot more of Pace's decisions to question, just not THAT decision And I'll be honest, I'm not necessarily blaming Pace which is odd because he's been a mess of a GM. Hell, I'm not even blaming Jackson. He got offered life changing money and took it. What is frustrating, however, is that he now does nothing well. All of those things that he showed in his first 2 seasons feel like they were 5 seasons ago. He isn't even close to takeaways. When was the last time you watched a game and thought "ahh, so close!" Last season? He isn't even trying to tackle. He's a good dancer though, and evidently we should be happy that he can jump high and deflect last second hail mary's.

Pace extended Jackson at the height of his value when he didn’t need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
