A few good passes. Lots of misses. A few “passable” throws that a receiver can catch if they make an exceptional effort.

Robinson humiliated one-time-Bear B.W. Webb fighting off the corners flailing arms and strong-handing the ball off of his helmet. A true moment of beauty. Hello Jo Ho!At least we had one drive of Jordan Howard smashing through holes and stomping down the field in vintage fashion.

That’s just Hicks swatting down Eli on the very next play.Maybe Akiem Hicks’ touchdown will finally get him some Pro Bowl votes?Seriously though, what does a monstrously elite interior defensive lineman got to do to get respect. Sacks, swats, and tackles for loss doesn’t seem to cut it.Two touchdown-causing coverage gaffesThe Bears failed to respect Odell Beckham as a passing threat https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Anthony-Miller-Jersey , and allowed Russell Shepard to get absurdly open for an easy 49 yard touchdown. Then, even less understandably, the failed to respect OBJ as a receiving threat, allowing him to jaunt uncovered into the empty right half of the end zone to catch an airy 4th down lob for the Giants second offensive touchdown.Khalil Mack picks a crucial moment to nab a sack on ManningThe Giants made the foolish decision to try to pass on 3rd down while in field goal range with the potential to push it to a two score game. Mack, clearly annoyed that the intention grounding he’d forced on the previous play was not called, rumbled passed the Giants inept offensive line to sack the Giants out of field goal range and give the Bears a chance for a tying drive. Of course, it didn’t end up mattering because the Bears fumbled the ball right back.Two good looking two-minute drillsWell, that was a fun way to end an otherwise disappointing game. Some great plays by Robinson, Cohen, and Chase. When the first drive stopped at a field goal, I was ready to appreciate the moment and move on to accept a loss.

It’s the middle of November, and Nagy surely likes what he sees.Led by quarterback Mitch Trubisky, the offense is gaining confidence and, in turn, getting better. Trubisky addressed the performance of the offense with PFT by phone after Sunday’s win over the Lions.Trubisky said that the improvement from 3-3 to 6-3 flows from the level of belief in the locker room, and from the fact that the players believe in the process and each other.“We’re growing as an offense and as a whole team,” Trubisky said. “It’s about being not complacent.”Earlier this year Charles Leno Jersey , Nagy said the playbook was limited by the inexperience of the players, particularly Trubisky. Nine games in, that’s not the case.“We’re a lot farther along in the playbook,” Trubisky said, “and we’re using all of our weapons.”Trubisky continues to push himself to get better, constantly criticizing his own game. He said that he has worked on being more consistent with his eyes and footwork in the pocket, and that he’ll continue to look for weaknesses that he can address.His self-critiques happen without paying attention to external critiques. Asked about the harsh assessment of his play from former NFL executive Mike Lombardi, Trubisky initially said, “I’m not sure who that is.” Trubisky then said that he liked the fact that his teammates came to his defense.Defense has been the identify of the Bears for years. With Trubisky, the Bears could be on the verge of an offensive renaissance the like of which they haven’t seen since the days of Sid Luckman.
