10 thoughts after the Chicago Bears looked ill-prepared for the beginning of the season. They were outclassed by the Green Bay Packers in nearly every way imaginable in a 38-20 loss Sunday at Soldier Field.
A Chicago Bears fan reacts in the third quarter, Sept. 10, 2023, at Soldier Field. The Packers defeated the Bears 38-20.They were outclassed by the Green Bay Packers in nearly every way imaginable in a 38-20 loss Sunday at Soldier Field.1. If you had asked me what a worst-case scenario would look like for the Bears in the opener, I wouldn’thave scripted it this bad.
The Packers wound up with four sacks, with Fields failing to throw the ball away when he was run down by rookie Lukas Van Ness on second-and-goal from the 4-yard line. The 7-yard loss made it third-and-goal from the 11, which led to a field goal to start the second quarter that drew the Bears within 7-6. Don’t hang that sack on the line, but the rebuilt offensive line wasn’t good enough.
Reports of strong days for the offense and major improvements for the passing game were wishcasting at its finest. “That’s on me,” Fields said. “I’ve got to, if anything, give DJ a shot on the sideline on that. It is him or nobody. Or check the ball down to Roschon or Cole .”, is better than Fields. That’s because by any legitimate measurement of quarterbacks, Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions are better than these two right now. Trying to compete in a division with the fourth-best quarterback isn’t the kind of challenge that generally ends well..
“We definitely controlled the pocket a lot this game and got after him. So, the game plan worked like we wanted it to.” to be if he’s not averaging at least eight targets a game. That’s a realistic figure and what we saw in Week 1 was the limitations of the Bears’ passing game as it is right now exposed.What are the Bears good at?
There was one play where Fields threw the ball to Mooney at the line of scrimmage. Nickel cornerback Keisean Nixon came up and blew up Chase Claypool, who was in front to block, and tackled Mooney for a 4-yard loss. Nixon is 5-foot-10, 200 pounds. Claypool is 6-4, 238. Claypool, by the way, had two targets and no catches with one drop.“We were more than prepared,” Moore said. “We had a week and a half. They just outwilled us today. That’s the best way I can put it.
The offense ran the ball 14 times on first-and-10 and produced 42 yards. Seven of those runs went for 1 yard, no gain or a loss. That goes back to what I said at the top: the Bears got beat in the trenches. Justin Fields was 10 of 16 throwing the ball on first-and-10, not bad, but those 10 completions gained only 97 yards and there was an 11-yard sack on a first-down attempt. So, 86 net yards on 17 passing plays.
Kmet ran one similar play last season under center and gained 1 yard in that instance. Isn’t it a dead giveaway what he’s going to do? The league’s goal is to reduce the number of concussions on kickoffs and some fear the play will eventually be eliminated from the game. The new rule will spot the ball for the receiving team at the 25-yard line on any kickoff that is fielded inside the 25 by a fair catch. The league predicts this rule will result in a modest reduction in the number of kickoff returns and, in theory, slightly reduce the number of head injuries suffered on the play.
Yes, there were 11 instances where the Bears returner was tackled short of the 25 last season, but seven of those were in the first seven games. Also, six were situations where the Bears started between the 22- and 24-yard line. 8. In regular-season mode, opportunities for the third quarterback are reduced significantly from training camp.
This is a more developed plan than you sometimes hear where the No. 3 quarterback has to learn in the meeting room and by taking mental reps on the field watching the starter. There is value but actual reps, getting chances to execute plays and then go over the gameplan even if it’s on air — without defenders — has to be helpful. The goal is to help Bagent get in a flow and understand how to assimilate information on a weekly basis while working to improve.
