Good news…the defense played as it should against a less disciplined and less guided offense. Do NOT fool yourself - Chicago has plenty of raw talent on offense…maybe more than Seattle. This could have been a game the Seahawks have lost in the past. (A certain Seattle/TB in TB game comes to mind.
As for the offensive struggles, I’m completely torn between Geno/Grubb/Offensive line.
By my count, Geno missed four easy throws to night that could have extended drives. He simply holds on to the ball longer than he should and missed open receivers. Adding to that, he has almost no concept of throwing the ball away. I appreciate the tenacity, but holy duck, understand the situation and throw that ball away if things don’t look right.
O-Line. Terrible. Chicago mostly had a four-man rush all night and was continually getting pressure. It makes the LBs job super easy if they have no reason to fear the play action. If Seattle showed an inkling of run, the Chicago LBs crashed lanes in the second half. If not, they dropped into zones and Geno had a hard time seeing the gaps. This, in particular, is super frustrating.
Grubb. I honestly don’t know if he’s trying to play chess with checkers pieces. I was super pumped after the Lions game earlier this season with the originality of plays, particularly in the second half. The team made a hard push against a premier NFC team. I just do not see it anymore. Is it Geno not seeing things or is it Grubb.
