W12@GB: Hard lessons

    So what looked inevitable happened but worse, the Bears got demolished by the Packers, they had no answer on offense or defense and possibly are just one loss away to get eliminated from any postseason possibilities.

   Mitch Trubisky was all over the place, he played desperate. His two interceptions were deep balls to double and triple coverage, the first one killed a promising drive in Packer territory and the second killed the possibility of coming back from an already big deficit. All in all he just didn't play good enough,  The Oline on the other hand played better with a new starting lineup, Alex Bars and Sam Mustipher didn't play perfect but they were decent and it's way better than what was shown on previous games, Germain Ifedi at RT looked better, Cody Whitehair at LG played as well as his other teammates with the exception of Charles Leno Jr. who is still playing poorly and was the weakest link of the starting five. David Montgomery was the benefactor of the better play of the Oline, he put solid numbers running the ball but he did miss some holes, it will all depend if this new Oline group can mesh and improve so Montgomery can get familiarized with them.

   Some say the defense just gave up, watching the all 22 I didn't see that, they just got outmatched and outcoached. They needed Akiem Hicks and/or Eddie Goldman to play, the Packers ran through them often by being patient, the Packers RBs did a good job of waiting for holes to open up and attack them, Aaron Rodgers did just enough to pick them apart with short passes by exploiting the holes on the defensive scheme. Rushing three was never going to work and it just let Rodgers get confortable looking for one of his receivers to get open. Chuck Pagano and the defense can bounce back from this if they focus on the things that went wrong on this game, it can be a real learning experience.

   The one that needs to learn but really needs to focus on basics is Trubisky, his mechanics when throwing are not there, its really infuriating and amazing at the same time watching Rodgers just sling passes really not giving a damn how his feet are planted or not, but Trubisky doesn't have this trait as so many other in the league, he needs to focus on the basics and go with the open guy, get in rhythm and if the run game works then the deep wideouts will get one on ones and now take the shot, if he gets his basics right it doesn't matter how many interceptions he throws now, he will get better later, how much? that's another topic, when? hes to far behind to focus on this. He might fail in Chicago like others have failed and others on their teams, but there is a chance he gets it. Right now he is a Bear and he is the starting QB and he is a good kid, I'm wishing he gets better because this team can win if he does. Next against the Lions at home should be a game they can win, how they win it is more important but even more importantly is what happens if they win it convincingly, but I'll wait first for the result, I'm already getting ahead of myself to much.
