There were so many things that I was focusing on this week as the Bears hosted the Buccaneers down by the lakefront. Could Mitchell Trubisky be consistent leading the Bears offense on the ground and through the air from the 1st quarter through the 4th? Would the Bears defense be able to keep up their stellar play? Also, how would Matt Nagy take the next step in his offensive play calling? All the questions I had leading into this game and more were answered on Sunday. The Bears played what I would call their first complete game of the 2018 season. Now, things weren’t perfect. But I left Soldier Field feeling that the Bears stock is on the rise. Nagy and his squad absolutely demolished the Bucs 48-10. Let’s jump into some of my thoughts from the game.
“Trubiksy was on fire in the first half.”
“I have a feeling we will look back at Sunday’s performance as the beginning of something special for Trubiksy.”
“Nagy … called his best game as Bears head coach.”
“This week we saw head coach Nagy grow as a play caller.”
“It’s not fun being an opposing QB going up against the Bears defense.”
“Mack is playing at an MVP level and I still believe he’s only scratching the surface on how good he will be in a Bears uniform.”
“Man, you can go from worst to first in an offseason.”
