Having a night-f-night against top-notch defense is one thing, but the Bears ’offense put the Rams in some more trouble in Monday night’s 24-10 loss.
It was clear relatively early that the speed of the LA and the stiffness on both ends were too high to handle. And, Matt Nagy’s team finally had a moment to catch his collective breath, all he could show for his efforts, was the field goal of the first half at the end of the Bears’ best drive and out of contact when the game was necessary.
“I have no idea, but I never remember that we made our own defense more than our crime. It’s hard to do, so I don’t like that part and it bothers me,” Nagy told reporters. It used to be a part of this. “
Largely anchored by the strength of his defense, Chicago entered the prime-time matchup for their third straight win. He said the offense has advanced in his last three games and failed to reach 275 yards in those games, but it was an opportunity for him to be a team again and run on the big stage. It does not come across.
As expected, Falls faced heavy pressure through Ramps D, but, even when there were opportunities to raise funds, the Bears were unable to do so. The Pants on their next three drives followed the FG in the second quarter, and they completed their only two red zone chances with stuffed runs, incomplete passes and sacks, with obstacles in the down onzone and turnover. Others concluded with another pick and two more toads.
“I’m just saying it’s real, you’re testing your culture. This is the place to test the people you work with, whether it’s coaches or players,” said Nick Foils. Or after the operation of other pedestrians. “Like, who are we going to be? Will we stay in it together or will we go against each other? This is a kind of crossroad. We are very lucky to be 5-2. Everything is in front of us. The season is not over. We have to keep looking at ourselves in the mirror and eventually live for each other and go through this thing like people who take care of each other. “
Falls finished 28-of-40 for 260 yards, while David Montgomery took 48 yards on 14 carry. Falls has also been knocked out four times, with eight hits and his sixth straight game (in 2019) with at least one INT. Chicago once again took the lead in total yards (1 371-679.) And recorded its fourth consecutive game with less than 65 rushing yards.
“That’s not where I want to be. You have to run the ball in this league. You have to be able to run the ball. We’re trying to find ways to do it and right now we have to be better there, it starts with me. , ’Nagy said of his steady running efforts this season.
After blaming himself for not doing his part to make the crime better, Falls said he sees complications both on the ground and in the air as a necessary growth pain.
“I think the big thing is that we are finding the rhythm of who we want to be. In this situation, we really kept working, we assessed who we really wanted to be and found that identity.” “And when we want to be what we want to be, we’ll pick up but that’s where we are right now.”
The Bears will have short weeks to get back on the drawing board and try to find answers to this incongruous crime. His Week 8 opponent, the Saints, will present Chicago with a chance to turn against the same kind of tough competition, if he plans to stay at the top of the NFC he will have to be sent off. New Orleans is not exactly a team that any coach wants to present a weak offense.
“He’s not clicking right now. As with any competitor, and I’m as competitive as a guy out there, that’s the part where I have to challenge myself to be patient … I have to trust our other coaches.” We have staff that I have a lot of confidence in. And I’m talking across the board, but especially, aggressively, “Nagy said. “What do we do and how do we get to this point? We’re 5-2. We’ve made this little cushion and now it’s time to use it, and it’s our job not to lose.”
