I wear my Meatball Badge with honor.
My hopes for next season are being momentarily shattered.
I'm fine with the loss, higher the pick the better. Trubisky showing modest growth. I expect his "growing" will happen exponentially, he's just at the bottom end of the slope at the moment due to how raw he was coming out of college. He will be fine.
Last 2 games for Jordan Howard against one of the best teams in the NFL and one of the worst teams in the NFL:
20 carries 44 yards
Yeah (rolls eyes). He's our mvp alright. lol. Idiots will never get it.
OMG!?!! 2 bad games in a row!!?? He obviously sucks and they should kill him.
You're a fucking idiot.
And Trubisky will be fine. Our offensive playcalling is gross, and our receivers are grosser. Our best receiver has been on the team for a couple of weeks, and he is a 3 at best. He have zero playmakers at the position.
Where the fuck was Shaheen today? Did he even play? I think I saw his number once. It is absurd to have Daniel Brown or Sims playing in front of him, IMO, particularly in the redzone.
The Shaheen thing did piss me off. I'll admit that. Not sure if he's missing blocking assignments or what...
I agree that Trubisky CAN be fine. Will he be? I don't know. I hope so. Really like the kid.

This is kind of my point with the play-calling. You admit that we have nothing resembling a supporting cast on the outside, yet you don't get why we don't try to throw the ball downfield more?
We have a QB with a CMP% of 40% on passes over 10 yards. We have no WR's who we can rely on. Our starting TE nearly had his leg amputated a few weeks back. The only two guys we've been able to rely on with any semblance of consistency, is our two RB's. Yet, we have to sit here and wonder why we run the ball so much...? And wonder why we try to run screen plays to them?
I'm not sure how this logic adds up, that's all.
I said nothing about throwing it downfield more, but the playcalling is generic af, you have to see that? 1st down, run off right guard for a yard, 2nd down, run off left guard for a yard, 3rd and 8 throw.
The playcalling shows zero urgency until the last drive of the game.
This whole, Trubs isn't ready shit, is bullshit hindsight based off of two poor performances BY THE WHOLE TEAM. Nobody was claiming he wasn't ready 5 week ago er whatever when Napolean Dynamite was stinking up the joint. Nobody in here thinks John Fox is worth his weight in shit, but suddenly his original thoughts on Trubs redshirting hold credence and value?
Trubs is not tearing it up, because our receivers are shit, and he has little trust in them. Our o-line play has gone downhill for whatever reason, even struggling in run-blocking suddenly, and our playcalling seems almost as if they WANT to go three and out....like they are just trying to get the season to end. Which is somewhat understandable, since their season is already over.
I still like what I see from Trubs. At worst, he bails out of the pocket too much and relies on his legs, but in doing so, cuts the field in half and limits his options. That is due to a lack of trust of his receivers, and that is due to the fact that they are terrible route-runners that get zero separation from their defenders. He needs to learn to step into the pocket more, and not worry quite so much about protecting the ball. Gotta have faith in his teammates, even if they don't inspire such.
I think the kids will be fine, but not under Fox's tutelage. He will destroy him.
Watching idiots try to analyze games is hilarious. Both of you clowns have absolutely no clue.

Exactly. When our oline opens up massive holes Jordan Howard runs through them and everyone except for me in here thinks he's the next Walter Payton. Anything but stellar offensive line play results in Jordan Howard averaging 2ypc. The guy is overrated beyond belief in here by the homers.
