The green and yellow team, haha.
It’s a huge game for the direction of the team. Not so much whether they win this or not, I want to see constant improvement from Trubisky. They are not playing a bottom-5 Defense here, so the expecting need to be raised.Next up the green and yellow team with the expected return of Hicks
They shut down the Bears in week one, so this will be an easy grade. If Mitch reverts back to Bad Mitch, we’ll know. The same can be said for Nagy.Its not a bottom 5 defense but how good is the defense....medicore at best?

I definitely expected more from their offense. They seemed to sit on the lead.I don't think he reverts this week. It's pretty clear for him to have any success throwing, he has to be a viable run threat. If he's a dropback passer, he has no chance. Last week he ran and it worked. Nagy won't abandon that strategy this week.
I don't like what I'm seeing out of Green Bay. A very antiseptic, uninspiring win at home over a Redskin team severely lacking in talent. Rodgers hasn't fallen off like Brady, but he's far from vintage Rodgers. We are really seeing a changing of the guard in terms of top level QB play. Out with the old. In with the Jacksons and Mahomes of the world.
Very disappointing to watch the bears go 3 and out on the first 3 drives. That is on coaching.Kreutz put the blame on Nagy for this one. Not forcing the hand as far as making GB change the personnel they had on the field. Not running the ball when 5 or 6 DBs were in the game in early downs. Leaving undrafted free agent guys on the OL one on one against guys making 10s of millions of $
I said it before and I'll keep saying it, Trubisky is their QB next year, you don't move up to take a guy with the second pick and give up in him this early in his career
Bump
It's rather obvious that trubisky will never be better than average, keeping him as your starter because you're afraid of admitting you made a mistake, means the GM(and coach) lack what it takes to take a team to the top level.
Gould was awful when he left the Bears

Would I be right to assume the three-way entry of Pace/Nagy/Trubisky are tied to the hip entering the 2020 season?
Arrow pointing down for the Bears.
If the 2018 and 2019 season results were flip-flopped, enthusiasm would reign.
Trubisky will me the punchline for years to the question, what QB got drafted over Mahomes, especially when Mahomes retires as one of the best to ever play.Pace's ego is too big. I didn't see much Texas Tech during the Mahomes years, and we know that system inflates QB numbers. But just watching Mahomes; how effortless and easy he makes everything look, how fluid, how could anyone take a project player over him? Taking Watson would've been understandable, even if he isn't quite Mahomes level. But to pass over both for a guy with 13 college starts is unforgiveable. Then he compounds the matter by hand delivering the Niners three extra picks. Only incompetent ownership is keeping Pace employed.
Bears have to decide soon whether they will pick up Trubisky's 5th year option. I doubt they do, so next year is his make it or break it year with Bears. Nagy replaced, or had replaced for him, his OC and lots of his Offensive staff. When they do that and it doesn't work,Would I be right to assume the three-ply entry of Pace/Nagy/Trubisky are tied to the hip entering the 2020 season?
Their preseason prep was awful also, considering they made changes across the OL. They have made a lot of awful personnel decisions when it comes to the offense. I can't trust anything they do, from the draft down to gametime decisions.The Bears under was the best bet, IMO for RSW totals this past year. I'm not so sure that will be the case this next season. The schedule will be much easier, going from winning the division to 3rd place. The losses to the Chargers and Raiders could've easily had different outcomes. Their preparation for the London trip was awful and they dug themselves into a deep hole. They were catching the Raiders and another 5 minutes of game time, almost certainly would have.
So they had the big rise in wins in 2018 but a 4 game regression in 2019. If the number is 8, I'd go over. Probably at 8 1/2 as well. Not at 9.
I'm curious to see what the Packers RSW total will be. Their record was on the fraudulent side this year, and Rodgers clearly is regressing.
