Chicago Bears observations ....

Just finished watching the Bears - Ravens game. 

 

A few random thoughts... 

 

Trubisky definitely looks like a rookie. Plenty of terrible throws (50% completion rate). Even the completions were poor throws for the most part, the touchdown the their TE should have been picked off, was underthrown. 

Trubisky doesn't have the pocket awareness yet, susceptible to holding on to the ball not knowing he is about to get sacked. There is opportunity here I think. 

They do a good job of rolling Trubisky out right (novel idea, huh?) to alleviate some of the pressure. We will see this Sunday. 

Bears run game is no joke. Howard is bruiser, Cohen is fast and shifty, and their fullback lays wood. Everything you would expect from John Fox ball control. I am more concerned about Cohen in this game. Both on offense and as a returner. 

 

On defense the Bears look pretty tough. Their DL gets plenty of push and causes disruption. It looks like they are not as strong stopping the run on the outside. Baltimore had some luck there. 

Bears had two athletic interceptions. One run back for 50+ yards, the other run back for a touchdown. I have forgotten what that looks like. 

Overall, I feel like the Panthers will take away the run game and force Trubisky to throw. If he looks anything like he did in Baltimore, should be a Panthers win.

Sounds like a team that Shula will try to exploit the edges on. Here comes wide pitches to Stew. 2nd and 15 instead of the usual 2nd and 12.

Howard had some luck with pitches, but looked a bit faster than Stew. I hope Shula doesn't see that.

Good job on the defense breakdown. & run game breakdown. Not too big on the Trubisky breakdown. I watched both Minny and Baltimore games (And Pitt and TB for fun), and he has a lot of throwaways. The Center Whitehair is having quite a few issues with his snaps so some throwaways have come from there. Trubisky missed a couple in the Bmore game, but his #1 and #2 WR's are an undrafted rookie from Wyoming and a 7th rounder they just plucked from Tennessee's practice squad(and what QB doesn''t miss some)? He also came back with some big one's with pressure in his face when asked to make a play

Where was the underthrow? Looks like he lead the TE into the endzone pretty good to me considering he was about to get flattened.

. Without the throwaways his completion % is sitting around 80%. He's got such few attempts anyways and a bunch of throwaways because their receivers are having issues separating I'm not getting hung up on #'s. He does hold the ball too long from what I saw considering he knows what they have at WR, and he could speed up his eyes, but he's looked composed enough for what they are asking him to do which is game manage and IMO from what I've seen you can't count on him to force the issue when it isn't there which is a very valuable for a young QB to already understand.

The TE had to slow down reach behind him to catch that ball. It was underthrown.

Slightly, was in no danger of getting picked unless the defender spontaneously grew like 2 more feet and some eyes popped up behind his head. Maybe could have gotten a PBU if he was hauling ass, but maybe and if doesn't cut it.

If the Safety doesn't blow the coverage it is likely a pick.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
