Matt Nagy
With 43 seconds on the clock in the fourth quarter with the ball in Chargers territory, Mitchell Trubisky took a knee. Matt Nagy had decided he had seen enough. With only one timeout left and 43 seconds to go Nagy thought it would be best for the Bears to attempt a 41-yard field goal rather than continue to drive the ball down the field.
What do you think Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers would have done? Rodgers would have made those 43 seconds a lifetime, and it is because of the Bears’ lack of faith that they settled.
The Chicago Bears gave up and settled with a minute to go in the game, and I am kind of disgusted of it. Sure, the Bears missed a few field goals today and it could have been anyone’s game, but that does not take away from the fact that Nagy and company gave up at the end of that game.
Mitchell Trubisky
I think it is safe to say Trubisky is not what the Bears thought he was. When he was drafted second overall the franchise was filled with hope in what he could be, now that hope seems to be gone.
We have given Trubisky so many chances. Three of four times today during the broadcast the announcers spoke of “this drive will be the difference-maker for Trubisky”. He kept getting opportunities to step up and be the quarterback we need. He let us down time and time again.
I know Trubisky had a great drive to end the game, but that does not change the fact he had two consecutive drives that ended with him giving up the ball. First, it was an interception to Hayward followed up by a fumble on the next drive for the Bears.
Trubisky has heard the narrative the last few weeks that he might not be the QB for this team, and his only response has been something like this.
Mitch Trubisky on his mentality right now: "We get to play the best game in the world in the best city. It's not too late to turn this around."

If the Bears do turn it around it won’t be because of the offense that is for sure.
