John Fox ruined the Mitch Trubisky debut
This was a game against the Vikings that Chicago should’ve won. They came out firing to start. Trubisky connected on seven of his first nine passes. The defense delivered a safety. Chicago also got into Minnesota territory several times in the first half and came away with no points. Why? They were constantly undone by bad penalties and dropped passes.
Not to mention whiffed blocks.

Fox only made things worse with his mind-boggling game management. He failed to act decisively in going for a 4th down that resulted in having to burn a timeout. Then he instead of taking that time to set up a play he send them out on the field too late, resulting in a delay of game. Then they punted and got nothing for it.

If that weren’t bad enough he chose to burn a timeout in the second half right after Minnesota burned a timeout on a 1st and 19. It was puzzling then and now what in the world he was thinking. The ongoing indecisiveness of his decision-making coupled with the undisciplined, sloppy play of his players can’t be ignored any longer.

Has everybody forgotten the fact Fox has never developed a rookie quarterback in his life? Ever. Don’t expect any of what was seen Monday night to change. The Bears had a week and a half to prepare and they still looked like that. Blame for it falls directly at the feet of the head coach. These are the same problems that Fox was fired from Denver for. The lack of aggressiveness. The lack of awareness.
Is this really the guy the Bears want charting Trubisky’s future?
