As the final nail goes in to our season, I find myself feeling bad for Trubisky and holding a righteous anger for Pace. This was an absolute reckoning for him as a GM on primetime.
His hand picked QB looks shell shocked, capable of making plays but infrequently and seeing ghosts out there. He looks broken. He's also bad. I know they want to keep him but I think he may be done and seven more weeks could finish him off. So be it I guess. We know who Pace passed on but let's look at the rest of his team in Year 5...
The OL got absolutely manhandled today. I know Donald is the best defensive player in football but my God, Pace's 2nd round pick got eaten alive. The rest of the line didn't fare any better. All hand picked by Pace or extended by him. I hope Massie's back keeps him out for the rest of the season. How many runs did we have for 0 yards today? No push from anyone. Is it effort, scheme, coaching, personnel? I think Pace has built an under-powered, passive, somewhat agile but bewilderingly terrible line.
The TE group is an omnishambles. There isn't a worse position group in the entire NFL and certainly not one that has had so much invested in it.
I don't know what you build around offensively but maybe the WR group offers something. Again though, drops killed us when Mitch did make a throw and we had coverage sacks galore. Even Robinson dropped one. Let's see some Wims and Ridley. We should move on from Gabriel anyway in the offseason. Miller made some plays but him jawing away after that interception was infuriating. The fact the WR room doesn't need to be burnt to the fucking ground makes it the best performing unit on offense so certificates and sodas all around on that score.
At least Cohen did something so there's that.
Roquan and Jackson coming back to life is welcome. I give the defense credit. This is by and large not their problem and they are coping as best they can without Hicks. They forced turnovers, had another fumble and shut the Rams out for two quarters.
His coach may be a fraud and is certainly a playcalling dumbass at least two or three times a game. Here I counted the 3rd and 1 option route, the numerous RPOs where Mitch NEVER keeps the ball, the non FG try on 4th and 9. There were more.
My God, Pinero. I almost forgot about him. He's like the drink you take with you into the study to end it all, only to find as you take your final sip that someone has drunk all your fine whisky and pissed in the decanter. If you don't trust your power kicker to make a 50 yarder on 4th and 9 on your second drive, then you need to cut your kicker.
Too many holes, not enough to build around, not enough cap space and no picks. This unravelled fast. Blow it up!
