3 points. 3. Am I the only one who was shocked by 1st and 40 ?
Bears got beat fair and square. Doubt that its going to be a
good year. Throw everything else out the window, the Bears only
scored 3 points. Receivers were always well covered. No tight
end really, and now I might as well say that at the time I
thought the Howard trade was a mistake. Those 3 on the field
last night
didn't impress.

watch

Had to record the game and watched it last night well after
midnight, so I haven't sifted through the posts (apologize for
anything redundant).
1) Defense did a helluva job. Did just about everything better
than last year, except for one thing. Getting turnovers. But
they played well enough to win the game if they had an average
output from the offense. Holding Rodgers and Devante Adams to
those numbers was an accomplishment. But they would have had to
be perfect and thrown a shutout to win this game. Would have
liked to seen more of Jackson and Clinton-Dix but they did their
jobs. Floyd is a monster with 2 hands isn't he? And
Robertson-Harris had a nice game when given some quality
minutes. Did anyone notice that Trevathan was kind of quiet?
2) Offensive line - When you have a pass run ratio that is
incredibly one sided it puts a lot of pressure on the QB and the
O-line. I thought for the most part they did an OK job. A lot
of the sacks were not their fault...but the last one was all
Whitehairs. Also this was Daniels first game at center in the
NFL. I was concerned going in about his matchup with Kenny
Clark - he's good.
3) Wide receivers. Gabriel had a tough night. So close on two
big catches that could have turned the game around. Robinson
was an all out stud - nuff said. Where the H was Miller?
Targeted twice? As I'm sure someone mentioned - the Packers
played tight coverage daring the Bears wideouts to beat them
(and the opposite was the Bears corners playing sometimes 10
yards off the wide receivers often giving them easy 7 to 8
yards).
4) Running backs. We need to see more of Montgomery. In fact
we need to see more of all the running backs...actually running.
Nagy has a tendency to abandon the run way too early in games.
5) QB - Trubisky is not the Qb that you can drop back over 50
times in a game. 15 running plays and 3 of those were Trubisky
scrambles. There's something to him getting rid of the ball
quickly. The longer he sits back there the lower his rating
drops. He's got athleticism - he's got the arm, but his pocket
presence was not good. Part of that could be the receivers
were not open - but part of it falls on him not finding
secondary receivers and forcing the ball when his primary is
open.
6) TE - Shaheen...really? You double dribble on your only
catch. Two games in a row without Burton - two losses.

FWIW now that I've had time to let the game sink in a little:
The Good:
Defense is stout. Regression ? I didn't see any regression. Only
scoring drive they gave up was on a hurry up drive (can't recall
if Mack was taking a breather or not) and a busted play.
Expected Rodgers to make at least 1-2 plays a game like that.
Montgomery is a beast (as is Robinson). The rest of the O... not
so much.....
Oh and the Bears have a 100% FG percentage. YAY !
The Bad:
Special teams still taking the "Special Bus". ST coordinator
(despite Nagys pathetic playcalling this game) I think is still
the weakest coach of the bunch.
For some reason the Bears receivers looked like they were glued
to the Packer secondary most of the night.
Trubisky looked rusty. Maybe some more pre-season play would've
helped ?
The Ugly: (and now the angst :D)
Nagy's playcalling. WTF was that all about ? Patterson in a dive
up the middle on 3rd and short ? Patterson out in routs (that he
cannot run) and all those fucking passes, Christ....
And speaking of runs, why the hell wasn't Montgomery in the game
more and what happened to calling runs at all (he runs angry and
is going to be a force in the NFL).
Shaheen. Waste. Of. Space. 'nuff said. Don't even get me started
on "No Show" Burton......
Oline play. Too bad they didn't get more playing time in
pre-season. Again what seems to be a bad Nagy decision
"One game does not a season make" but boy do they have to put
this one behind them and wake the fuck up. Maybe they were
buying into their own hype ? Expect better next week but they
may be lucky to be .500 going into the bye if the change is only
incremental.....

To think e could have had Mahomes without trading away a bunch
of draft choices. Trubisky was only a one year starter. I
watched Mahomes play lights out at Texas Tech for two years. I
watched the tape on Trubisky and I just couldn't see what all
the excitement about him was coming from. I was OK with the
selection cause we needed a QB,but,I thought Pace was stupid for
trading so much when Mahomes would have been sitting there for
us. Oh well hind sight. I will say one thing that hurt was the
lack of playing time in the exhibition season. It showed last
night.

31 teams didn't forsee how good Mahomes would be so early.

The whole thing has me wondering about Pace. Were we a really
crappy team when he took over? Absolutely. Are we a much
improved team? yes. But there are things that are glaring. A lot
of people were shocked by the Bears move to get Trubisky. Even
as late as the end of the last season I thought Trubisky would
be fine. I know it's just the first game, but come the fukk on..
Mitch looked like sh!t last night. Another thing, where the h3ll
is our TE? No TE? There is just no excuse for last night..

31 teams didn't have a shot at Mahomes, he went 10th. It's all a
crap shoot, agree, but Mitch was a serious crap shoot.
I can't get over how bad the O looked last night..

joki was the one person here who was on Mahomes pre-draft. Props
to him for that...he nailed that one.
I'd be curious to see how many snaps Miller was on the field
for...I'd bet it was less than half their total snaps. I saw
more of Wims than I did Miller. And I only recall one target,
and Tru badly overshot him...
