The Bears had a great opportunity to beat one of the best teams in the league today Customized Chicago Bears Jerseys , with two of their key offensive weapons out of the game by the 1st quarter. Unfortunately, we saw some of the discouraging offensive struggles that made Bears fan panic at the beginning of the season. I’m not here to panic, but I am disappointed. This could have been a great momentum builder for a Bears team that has playoff talent but maybe not that level of confidence.Box ScoreA step backwards today for TrubiskyHe definitely got happy feet and was flustered by pressure. He did a good job at evading the rush, just not setting his feet to make a good pass or setting his brain to make a good decision. It seemed like there were as many rushed throws with bad mechanics as on-target ones from a solid platform. His completion percentage makes it look even worse than it was, since it includes several drops and throw-aways, but it also doesn’t acknowledge a couple throws that should have been picks. He still managed to sneak in some good passes and sound decisions.Then again, sometimes Biscuit’s happy feet have to make you smileThat 39 yard run was a thing of beauty—patience, vision, and speed. His scrambling ability has consistently proven to be an asset. Sure, sometimes he misses an opportunity for an open pass, but he usually grabs a first down and I’ll always be happy with that. He’s kept several drives alive and scored. It’s definitely working for my fantasy team.The formula is out on how to beat the Bears defenseJust through it to an athletic receiver, and let the Bears miss tackles. Last week Albert Wilson. This week Josh Gordon. I’m worried the league is catching on. Bilal Nichols continues to show off with limited opportunitiesHe got the first significant pressure on Brady. It was clearly a mistake by the Patriots O line http://www.bearscheapstores.com/dion-sims-jersey-cheap , but not every DE can capitalize on that mistake and get to the quarterback instantly. But his forced fumble and recovery of Sony Michel was a huge moment for the otherwise underwhelming Bears defense.Roquan Smith’s block-shedding difficulties showed up earlyThe one knock on Roquan Smith has always been that he can be slow to shed blocks. It often didn’t matter in college because he was fast enough to get around them most of the time. It’s mattered the last two games. Ultimately, his coverage ability makes up for it, but these are two teams who will take advantage of your weaknesses.At first, it seemed like the Bears would have the special teams advantageA Cordarelle Patterson fumble recovery gave the Bears the first momentum of the game and made me very proud of our Beloved for besting Belichick in his prized 3rd phase. Then there was the return touchdown. Then the blocked punt. Oof.Sherrick McMannis proved again that he can perform in the slot when neededThe long-time special teams star has had a few opportunities to prove himself on defense, including Callahan’s injury today. He performed well in coverage and was an aggressive tackler. Khalil Mack earned himself plenty of attention from the Patriots, but not a lot of pressureIt’s hard to say how much his ankle is bothering him, but Mack hasn’t shown the same effect in these last two games. Commanding double teams is great, but we got used to him beating them as well. I’m not worried in the long run, but I’m missing the smoshery.Remember the Patriots didn’t punt last weekThis wasn’t an all-star performance from the Bears’ defense, but getting multiple stops against the Patriots offense is impressive on its own.The Bears didn’t play a great game today. There were plenty of mistakes in all three phases. A few important moments went their way and kept them in the game against a better-performing team. That’s not what you hope to see, but it’s nice to realize this team has enough talent to fight through some struggles and stay competitive with one of the best teams in the league.Ok. That’s a pretty lame consolation prize.Bears losing is the worst. The Chicago Bears are coming off of the bye and sitting atop the NFC North at 3-1. On Sunday afternoon, they will be taking the field in South Beach against the Miami Dolphins. This game presents possibly the biggest test of the season for the Bears new-look offense. The Dolphins secondary is a far cry from the undermanned and overwhelmed secondary of their Sunshine State companions. The better news is Youth Trey Burton Jersey , this Dolphins offense is probably the worst they have faced outside of the Arizona Cardinals, so the defense should have fun. The Dolphins’ offensive line is banged up and poor. Ryan Tannehill has a bum throwing shoulder, which could mean we see Brock Osweiler at some point. Either way, I would expect another banner day from this stellar Bears defense. Here is my list of players to keep an eye on Sunday afternoon.Who to WatchCharles Leno Jr. & Bobby Massie: The pass protection is going to be the absolute most important thing for the offense this week. With Cameron Wake likely not playing, I would guess that the Dolphins are going to blitz heavily, as they did last week. Robert Quinn was also very destructive in the first half against the Bengals. I am not as worried about Leno because he has the feet to cut off a speed rusher, but does Massie? If the Dolphins move Quinn around the defense to get match-ups, keep an eye on him, as he is by far the biggest threat in their front-7.Anthony Miller: I am curious to see how much Miller ends up playing this week and how he is used. If he is indeed full-go, then I would expect to see him utilized more as a downfield threat than he has been so far. His average depth of target is 5.7 yards, which ranks 118th in the NFL. Nagy has played the chess game within the gameplan and I would expect to see him exploit that this week. Roy Robertson-Harris & Bilal Nichols: Akiem Hicks might be the best defensive lineman on the team, but he won’t line up across from former Bear and current Dolphins left guard Ted Larson. In passing situations Cheap Khalil Mack Jersey , that pleasure figures to go to RRH and Nichols. RRH has been very solid as a pass rusher and Nichols has steadily improved as the season has gone along, including a much larger workload against the Bucs. With the extra help likely going to the right side where Hicks and Khalil Mack line up the most, there should be opportunities for both players to really shine. Roquan Smith: I am still waiting for the Roquan Smith breakout game, and I predict that it comes this week. Smith has been playing excellent football, he just isn’t making splash plays. The bye week will be the first time that he has had to catch his breath and really dive into his strengths and weaknesses after an extended contract impasse. Like Eddie Jackson last year, Smith is just a hair late on making some plays, and on others, just a bit too out-of-control. I think with these 3.1 games under his belt, the game slows down a bit and we see some more impact plays from the rookie inside linebacker. What are your thoughts? Which Bears players are you keeping an eye on this Sunday afternoon against the Dolphins?Stay tuned for my Three Keys to the Game tomorrow morning and in case you missed it, here is my What to Watch For from earlier today. |
