[NOTE: I’m not writing about Mitch Trubisky in this preview because what is left to say? He needs to play well. That’s all.]
I always like the Chicago Bears.
And I believe in this coach. I believe he’s a very good coach. And a very good coach understands what needs fixing, fixes it and beats Teddy Bridgewater in his own building.
These are the transcribed Tweets of the legendary Jackson D, of the Q Brothers Collective. Check out his Twitter feed. It’s good.
Spent 6 years of my life there from 2004-2010 but also lost about 10 years off my life raging with my coworkers after every shift. Hear they’re trying to find a new spot but my worry is with all the service pros that will be out of a job that make that place special. RIP
Also out of all the restaurants I’ve worked at, it’s the only place is still regularly text and talk to my former coworkers 10 years later. We had a whole “Ditka’s” reunion picture at my wedding.
“Coach” as we all called him was there almost every night in those days. Had a massive wad of hundreds wrapped in rubber bands in his pockets and would always hook you up if you waited on him. I waited on some awesome sports greats. He called me Eric which is not my name.
Dear Mr. Head Coach,
Your offense sucks.
I know that’s an abrupt way to start a letter, and may discourage you from reading any further, but I’ve never been known for my subtlety. Your offense isn’t struggling. It isn’t sub-average. It just flat out sucks. It sucks in America. It sucks in England. It sucks. And being an offensive-minded head coach, that’s on you.
Your left tackle, a damn good player, looks like he belongs in the XFL.
Your most dynamic weapon, Tarik Cohen, has been useless for five weeks.
Your quarterbacks, both of them, look like they left their playbooks in the men’s toilet at Rossi’s.
But more than anything else, this entire offense
lacks coherence. If someone were to ask me right now, “What is the Bears offense” I would have no earthly idea how to answer. And I have the strange suspicion you’d stammer a bit as well.
You were brought to this organization to modernize the operation, specifically when it comes to moving the football. (Hell, we even co-authored a tee shirt proclaiming you’d do just that.) Pace and Fox built the all-world defense. You were the finishing touch on one of the most dramatic rebuilds in organization history. Year One was a massive success. You won 12 games. You won the NFC North. But the offense had very little to do with that.
Year Two was supposed to be the year the complete picture emerged. But through five games, the offense not only doesn’t look better than 2018…it looks significantly worse.
So, you know, fix it. Just fix the fucking thing. Get creative. Coach the players up. Make this unit better. You had the bye week to diagnose the ailments and this thing is quite diseased. Now load up the syringe with penicillin and jam it into your offense’s ass. No more excuses.
There are about 15 teams that can win the Super Bowl and you coach one of them. But that status currently exists despite the script you author each week. Fix it. Because while you’ve tried to absorb the blame for the struggles, you’ve yet to receive much criticism.
That won’t last much longer.
Sincerely,
Some Guy in Queens
It’s very hard to analyze a game from inside the building. You really have no idea what’s going on. But here are a few points:
3-2. One game back of Green Bay. In position to have a season but with A LOT of improvement needed. The bye week comes at a perfect time.
