Trubisky has proven himself to be a true Bears QB - late pick deep in their own territory to lose the game.

Trubisky looked good early, but fell apart as the game went on. It doesn't help that Chicago is in a league with Cleveland and the Jets for worst offensive personnel in the league. Once the bootlegs stopped working, they didn't have anything in the passing game.

I'm sure glad these refs are full-time now. They might be worse than before. Bears on the short end of the stick most of the night.

The last holding call was absolutely unconscionable.

I was a little surprised that Fox would throw him out there in his 1st game against a really good defense. With no downfield weapons, there was little chance of success. I don't know what the hurry is.

That was some very boring football.

How could anybody last watching a game like that in real time? Endless ticky-tacky penalties, endless delays for this and that. Add in the commercials and it was torture.

Didn't they trade 4 draft picks to move up and get him, too?? There goes your supporting personnel. I suppose they'll Bearify Trubisky's career by trading draft picks for washed-up free agents down the road. Then flush the whole thing down the toilet in 3-4 years.

Exactly. That is a coach and a GM who aren't in control of the situation anymore and are just reacting to stave off criticism.

If he needed to sit for a year and play sparingly, take the hit, draft high, go get a reasonable veteran backup next year.

When Trubisky hit his first few passes last night, Bears fans reacted as if they saw fire made for the first time.

I suppose it's too early to label Trubisky the new Cutler ....... but man, watching that game, it sure came to mind.

This is the slickest Two Point Play I've ever seen and it happened in last night's MNF Game Minny @ Chicago:

They stole this from the Bucs. From the Year 2000.

Let’s talk about that 2 point play http://footballscoop.com/news/lets-talk-2-point-play/

Confirmed by @AdamHoge: Bears OC Dowell Loggains saw the Bucs run the 2-pointer in 2000.

Lions goin' down to N'Awlins. Let's see if their moribund offense wakes up, and if their playing-over-their-heads defense wakes up to reality.
