I hate you all

OK, not ALL of you. Just the ones who have made thread after thread blaming everything and everybody for today's loss EXCEPT the people who are responsible (in large).

Football is a team sport, so the TEAM lost. But if you want to call for somebody's head, look no further than Jason Baker and the gunners on the punt team and then turn your head to Mare. No, not the missed 50 yarder. But for not kicking the ball out of the back of the end zone EVERY time. The one time he let Hester return it, it turned into the Bears having the ball around mid-field to set up an easy TD drive.

Get the ST fixed and we're fine. Yeah, our run D sucks, but our best two LBs are done for the year. That is to be expected.

Also, Naanee deserves the hate. I want his head as well.

But for the love of god, quit blaming the play-calling (it was fantastic today. Our offense is FAR from the problem), Rivera (not his fault, clowns), Hurney (wtf?), or whoever else is being unfairly blamed.

Almost anyone with half a brain will tell you that Chudzinki;s playcalling is borderline erratic at times. Especially in the endzone.

I wouldn't say that. I mean, there are calls where we go "...what?" but that is every OC in the league. They all make crazy calls at times. But when you have 500+ yards of offense...that isn't JUST execution. It is scheme. The play-calling is fine.

Let's take the Rivera 6-plays theory (in no particular order)

1) PR for a TD

2) KR to midfield that set up another Chicago TD

3) Blocked FG

4) Missed FG

5) Pick 6 (hit Naanee in the hands, have to catch it)

6) Forte's run on the last possession (yeah, short field, but defense can't give up that big of a play in that type of situation)

Now, if you look at that, 4 of those plays are special teams. One is on our worst receiver right now and the other is due to a lack of our best LBs.

Bitching about coaching and playcalling and saying THAT is what cost us the game is pure ignorance.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
