Far from Halas Hall, Mitch Trubisky receives many criticisms from experts and analysts. There is no crisis of confidence for the Bears when it comes to their second year signal caller, though, and he showed why Sunday.
The same can not be said of Cody Parkey, who had a terrible Sunday afternoon kicking Soldier Field. But far more important for this season and the future of the franchise, Trubisky responded to the national comment about it with a career record of 355 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-22 Lions breakout.
The match was not as tight as the final score, in part because Parkey missed two placements and two more points, with the four missing both vertically ricocheted.
"I do not trust him," said coach Matt Nagy about Parkey, a position created solely by the $ 9 million guarantee that the Bears awarded to Kickers, as well as a four-year contract which they believe would put an end to a recurring problem.
Fortunately, Trubisky and the offensive have clicked to such a level that nothing could prevent the Bears from winning their series of 10 consecutive losses on NFC North. They improved to 6-3 and staged a showdown for first place with the 5-3-1 Vikings Sunday night at Soldier Field.
The Bears took firm control from the start against the Lions, scoring touchdowns on their first four goods to take a 26-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Trubisky was as keen as we have seen despite virtually no play. The Bears had 54 yards in 22 races, with the backs 36-1-19 against the 30th ranked NFL defensive.
It put pressure on Trubisky to get things done. That's what he did, looking for the second selection instead of a person ranked at the bottom of the league on many lists. He completed 23 of 30 passes with a passer-by score of 148.6. He did some decisive readings with the help of his offensive line, which gave him time to operate, and the secondary Lions, who missed the top corner half Darius Slay because of the fact. a knee injury.
Michael Lombardi, a former media specialist, hinted earlier this week that he would pass on Trubisky if "you had it on Filene's Basement rack". Trubisky said he was not very interested in social media. looked more like a Neiman Marcus product when he was cutting Lions.
Trubisky gave him a smooth and easy look by passing the ball. Allen Robinson captured six passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns, and rookie Anthony Miller added five receptions for 122 yards and one score.
"I thought Mitch had his best game of the season, no doubt," said Nagy. "He was on fire. He was efficient, throwing the ball with conviction, his eyes were superb. Really super proud of him for coming here to play.
Trubisky has passed the 300 passing yards and a score of 100 for the fourth time in his last six games. He credited his lineman for his green turf, another term for a clean pocket. He also said that his timing improved with practice, which starts to reverberate more regularly in the games.
The Bears attacked the first ball safely, knowing that they could take advantage of the Lions with their zebra team (a running back, an opponent and three receivers) by preventing them from substituting themselves. It worked and they came back throughout the match.
"We saw that we could accelerate the tempo, look good and keep them in balance," said left tackle Charles Leno. "It worked and we continued to put pressure on them because we found that they were unbalanced. We are just continuing to move forward.
"We've seen what Mitch can do as best he can. Tampa, Miami, this game. You've seen what he can do his best. "
As for the opponents, Trubisky let her piece speak for itself.
"I'm not saying anything," he said. "I do not listen to him. I do not hear it, so I do not say anything. I do not care a bit. The only thing that matters is the coach Nagy, what he has to say, what my teammates have to say. … I know that there have been discussions and noise this week, I have not heard it directly, but I've heard my teammates support me, and that's the only one something that matters to me.
When Trubisky says that criticism does not make him vibrate, he becomes credible. He really seems to be absorbed in the daily details of his work.
"I do not think he even knows what's the noise," Nagy said. "He may have an idea, but … I have individual interviews with him and we do not really care about anything (if not). So everyone has the right to have his opinion, but he is playing right now and I like where he is. "
