Extended time off typically does not help

I hate to say it, but having 9 days (longer than normal) to prepare has typically not helped Nagy get the team ready.

I wonder if Nagy gets into his own head during the extended breaks and tries to get too cute. I am hoping that he does not over think and calls a good game against the Packers.

Hope Nagy breaks his own tendency.

We don’t really have a large sample size to make that judgment.

honestly you can only really point to the bye last year. the team sucked before and after the bye this year. so you are correct.

to Nagy's credit he's guided the team through some serious shit like that bogus 3 game stretch last season where they won every game (I think) and like the first time ever a team had to play 2 Thursdays in a row. whoever fucking decided that was a great idea... was actually a genius, with the amount of injuries to key players they have now. rofl

It helps this week cause the Bears have a lot of banged up bodies.

This team is beat to shit. It helps with that.

They’ll lose to a superior team and this will continue to be a talking point.

THe issue last year was playing Sunday night before Thursday at 12:30 on Thanksgiving. THAT was the historically short turnaround the Bears had to deal with. It was when Mitch beat the Vikings on Sunday night and then Chase was QB when Eddie Jackson beat the Lions. The long time off after was 10 days and then Nagy laid the stinker in Giants Stadium (correction: Metro something now? fuck it, who cares?)

My whole point is that when Nagy has extra time to think about how to approach an opponent he over thinks it.
Both opening day games have been pretty bad and coming off the bye week he has been pretty bad.

AND, the Packers (hate those fuckers)....

is Eddie Jackson due for a big game or what? That 2019 breakout is so overdue
