Chicago Bears: Good, bad and ugly from Week 3 victory

The Ugly: Trubisky’s performance, Cohen’s injury

Trubisky was really bad in this game. He missed a number of passes in which he had plenty of time and the receivers were open. Again, he made the same mistakes he’s made throughout his career. Instead of being the new player the team told us, he was the same player we’ve seen.

Just like many fans, Nagy saw enough and felt this was the same Trubisky. He called a great play on third-and-two late in the first half. Everyone in the stadium thought they would run in that situation, but Nagy called a pass. Anthony Miller was open on the play and could have walked in for the touchdown, but Trubisky overthrew him. Everything worked except for Trubisky’s execution.

I wrote before the season that Nagy would have a short leash on Trubisky and he did. I thought Trubisky would make it through four games but two and a half games were enough. Yes, the Bears were 2-0, but going through all those highs and lows is not a recipe for a successful season. We saw that in this game. He had the lows and it looked like he didn’t have another comeback in him. Looking at the offense walk off the field after that interception you could see the dejection.

Trubisky finished the day 13-of-22 for 128 yards, a touchdown and an interception. There would be no waiting for him to come back and improve.

Another ugly situation was what happened to Tarik Cohen on a punt late in the game. A Falcons player landed awkwardly on his right leg and it twisted. It appears as of this writing that Cohen tore his ACL and is likely out for the season. The strange and frustrating 2020 continues.
