Does Trubisky know how to throw longer than 5 yards? 

It's a west coast offence mixed with RPO influences.

 

Is this not the same questions about Brady and the Patriots offence? Pretty much all nickel and dime short quick timing throws to small slot WRs and RBs who then are supposed to make guys miss and get YAC.

Pats don't throw bubble and swing screens like they're dives. They do them very well when they do, but also throw a lot of deep routes. 

 

I don't think Trubisky has attempted a pass longer than 10 yards this half except for the throw away

So could anyone explain why the Bears passed at the Packers 20 yard with 2:30 left in the game, leading 23-20, and facing a 3rd and 1?   The pass went incomplete the clock stopped and the Packers with no time outs.  The Bears got a field goal but it was still a one score game, 26-20.   Rodgers and the Packers took over and then scored the winning touchdown.

 

Up to then the Bears were ripping up the field with running plays, killing the clock.  It would be pretty easy to run out the clock if they got a 1st down with a running play.  Instead they tried to get a touchdown which went nowhere forcing them into a field goal.  You know Rodgers will kill you with more than 2 minutes left.

Similar to the Falcons not running when in field goal position in the Superbowl; stupid play calling. Coaches can make a difference, and that's one that he'll have to take the loss for. The dropped

 INT also hurt.

Because they are Bears, and they do stupid $&!# like that all the time.

Run the ball on 3rd and 4th down if you have to, why give up the extra yards after a field goal? Clock management for the win.

As Romo stated during the game, pats D is improved.  Haven't seen a pass rush like that in a long time.  Belichik putting his stamp on the D now that Patricia is gone.

That quote just reeks of BS.  I still think Brady is better, makes better pre-snap adjustments and quicker reads, that's why he's the best(imo lol).  Though he looked pretty rusty yesterday, all good though, they won. 

 

Deshaun Watson looked pretty terrible and glad JJ Watt took awhile to get going. 

 

Rapelisberger should retire, guilty conscious weighing him down perhaps lol?  I effing hate him and the steelers

 

Is Fitzy going to steal Winston's starting job? 

 

Is Nathan Peterman one of the worst QB statistically ever lol? (43.3% comp 25.7 QB rating)

Well that Titans game sure was frustrating to watch. I mean didn't they know I wanted to go watch my nephew play hockey in the afternoon?   Lose Lewan, Mariota and Walker in the game and of course lose the game and Walker out for the year.  I guess it's time to see what Jonnu Smith can do.  Hopefully they can right the ship and get back on track.

Difference is the Patriots can win games without Brady Cassel,Brisset, Garrapolo etc while the Packers rely on Rodgers to scramble and make those plays outside of the system.

 

Patriots record is like 14-5 without Brady or something while the Packers don't make the playoffs without Rodgers that is the difference.

 

Also the AFC is traditionally weaker than the NFC overall. 

 

The Patriots beat up on a weak AFC East year in and year out.

 

Brady is like 58-2 vs all AFC teams at home in Foxborough.

Would love to see Bill and Brady on seperate teams but clearly Brady wanted no part of that and got Jimmy G traded.  

 

And before people start throwing out Belichicks resume before New England. The man was the defensive coordinator for 2 superbowl winning teams and basically drafted the core of the Baltimore Ravens in Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden. 

 

And Lebron gets criticized for playing in the "weak" East yet not a peep about Tommy boy playing in the garbage afc

Sounds like the Packers have a sh*t player personnel and scouting department who can't build a 53 man roster and lucked out with a Cali QB
