  • Jeff from what your sources air telling you and all the people you talk inside of Halas Hall with.

  • What do you make of those comments that greasy made saying There is a miscommunication at times between the head coach and the quarterback?

  • You know?

  • You know, Zubin guys of the 10,000 things that Matt Nagy thought he was going to be asked about about the offense after the game on Monday night, that was not on the list.

  • He was certainly taken aback.

  • And he really punted in the furred to Nick Foles, who, as you said, Szubin said, Well, that's not exactly what I said to Brian Greasy.

  • He must have had a misunderstanding.

  • Now look, I covered Brian Greasy in Chicago near the end of his career.

  • He's a longtime quarterback.

  • I'm pretty sure that he speaks the same language as Nick Foles.

  • So my guess is it was not taken out of context.

  • This happened really late, Of course, in that game Monday night, the Bears got right on that charter flight, which I know was a long one back to Chicago from Los Angeles, so they're just really getting back into town right now.

  • I've have seen stuff like this happened with teams and the Bears before, where something might be said in a production meeting and it gets out on the air that they were not expecting.

  • The fallout is usually not great.

  • My expectation is that Matt Nagy, when he addresses the media at noon Central time here in Chicago today, will try to offer up some sort of clarification.

  • But the bottom line is, guys, you don't have to be a genius to know that this offenses not working well.

  • I mean, it is broken.

  • It is bad on every level, the play calling quarterback plays but uneven the offensive line.

  • They're not using people the right way, so it doesn't surprise anyone to hear that, because clearly there are a lot of, you know, kind of disconnect on offense right now.

  • And Matt Nagy, even though he's got a good head coaching record, He does a great job, in my opinion, you know, motivating that team.

  • He's a player's guy.

  • He was brought to Chicago because of offense, and the offense really hasn't been any good in two plus years.

  • Let me ask you this, though.

  • Jeff, and talking about the offense not being good real quick for me.

  • Well, when was the last time that they had a good offense?

  • They brought in Trestman.

  • They've got all sorts of offensive minds in Chicago.

  • Bears historically is a defense.

  • Special teams don't make mistakes on offense.

  • Wind type football team Keyshawn.

  • That's why the frustration in Chicago is so palpable.

  • Even though the Bears were five and two, it's because the offense hasn't been good in generations.

  • I mean, generations of Bears fans have seen this.

  • There was one year in the 19 nineties when Erik Kramer had a great year for the Bears.

  • A quarterback great, great by the Bear standards, guys with a passer rating of like 96.

  • I mean that that really is Jeff.

  • We're going.

  • 30 years ago.

  • That's where you took me on and I could go.

  • Like with one year that Jay Cutler had okay, passer rating with Adam, gays and the bear still went like five and 11.

  • I mean, this is this is the problem.

  • It's that the Bears are five and two there, right in the mix here.

  • They might even make the playoffs.

  • You look at their schedule coming up, but no one has any faith that the offense is going to get any better.

  • So how can you really be a championship contender with an offense like that?

  • And the Bears all week going into that Rams game?

  • Just want to focus on the fact that they were five and one, which is fine, we?

  • But you can't do that now after that performance on Monday night, because again, at least there's so many more questions as to where this thing is going the rest of the year.

  • So, Jeff, if it's very visible that Matt Nagy and his team struggled with their offense, how differently should we look at Mitchell Robiskie?

  • You know Jay there, there's going to be some some clamoring to get your whiskey back in there, and I think that's the last.

  • I think that's the last thing that Matt Nagy wants to do.

  • I mean, he made that change.

  • What, the eye towards it being permanent?

  • Um, the reason you could justify that a little bit is because Nick Foles does not move very well, and if you guys watch that bears offensive line, they don't block very well, and that's a bad combination out Robiskie for his faults.

  • You know, he's obviously a very athletic kid.

  • He's very mobile.

  • He might be able to make a little something back there happen, but no, I think what is what has occurred is that there's been really no difference between Falls and Travis Key.

  • So does that mean J that Robiskie is better or or just?

  • The Bears are still abysmal when it comes to evaluating quarterback talent.

  • You know, we talk about the lack of the offense for generations.

  • I mean, the best quarterback in Bears history guys is Sid Luckman.

  • He hasn't played since the forties like that's a major problem.

  • And if Nick Foles doesn't turn out to be a long term solution and we know that Robiskie thing is basically over, the Bears aren't gonna be drafting in the top five to take Trevor Lawrence like, where does this go there in this perpetual cycle off?

  • Just bad offense, bad quarterback play and they can't find a way to get out of it.

  • Unfortunately, has said that's just certainly not their style.

  • It shows you how quickly the NFL moves.

  • It was basically two years ago that Matt Nagy was triumphantly driving to the airport and picking up Khalil Mack.

  • Everything's gonna change.

  • We make the playoffs.

  • We lose on the double.

  • Doing field goal.

  • No big deal.

  • Everything's fine in less than two years later, to nothing.

  • Bowl Where.

  • Rex Grossman, Man, Stop!

  • Cow Orton.

  • Come on, think about it.

  • You're fair.

  • Fair.

  • Jim McMahon, of course, is well, that's Super Bowl winning quarterback in Chicago.
