Nagy gets praise for being the innovator, but doesn't have the personnel on offense to execute to the level of sophistication he is aiming for. Isn't it incumbent upon him to fit the game plan to the skills of his players? For (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky, who still has his training wheels on, that would mean simplifying the offense to where his QB is comfortable running it. Not only were the Bears running complex sets with motion last night, Mitch was repeatedly checking out of plays with "kill" calls. Do you really want him doing this, when he's still learning to read pro-defenses? It's asking a lot to ask of a young QB, whose confidence is shaky. It seems (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky does best with scripted plays where he doesn't have to go through progressions and make check-down calls.
Bear football means ball-control and a sustained running game on offense, while the defense keeps you in games or even wins them outright. This is the most the team is capable right now. When you take Mitch out of his comfort zone, he throws picks like he did last night. The Bears are lucky there were only two and the Seahawks capitalized on neither of them.
You could also say that the Hawks were lucky on one of the interceptions. How lucky were the Hawks that more of Wilson's passes were not intercepted also? Sometimes you also have got to give the defense some credit for making good or great plays against you, right?
What I am saying is that in virtually every game and in virtually every play, players including the quarterback make mistakes. Wilson made a lot of mistakes in that game. Rodgers in the GB game made a lot of mistakes. Yet to see the comments on this board, these guys are perfect and (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is a bust as a quarterback. I think it is silly reasoning and also untrue.
