Bears Fans Need to Relax About Mitchell Trubisky's Bad Performance in Week 1

I don't think Bears fans truly understand how good this Packers defense got this summer. The Bears only put up three points against the Packers defense Thursday night, but that is not entirely their starting quarterback's fault.

Trubisky's statline: 26/45, 228 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Considering he got sacked five times, I don't think that's that bad.

I will concede the interception he did throw was definitely worse than the average interception.

Bears fans, the fact that Adrian Amos intercepted Trubisky is not the biggest problem here. A pick is a pick.

The big problem is that Trubisky is trying to go to the end zone on 3rd-and-10. He had a full two minutes left and he's trying to get it all done now. He has the time and downs to be more conservative. Besides, you don't want to give the ball to Aaron Rodgers with two minutes left in a tied game.

Is it really Trubisky's fault, though? The play-calling was not entirely great. In the third quarter, trailing by only four, the Bears decided to go for it on 4th-and-10 from the Green Bay 33. In case you're wondering, they didn't get it.

Is there that little faith in the kicking game already this year? Clearly, kicking is what cost the Bears last year, but rookie kicker Eddy Pineiro NAILED a 38-yard field goal late in the first quarter for what turned out to be the Bears' only points.

You wouldn't bring him in to be your kicker if you didn't think he could hit a 50-yarder.

One more thing: the Bears didn't have Trey Burton Thursday night. With all due respect to Adam Shaheen, Burton is one of the Bears' biggest weapons and safety valves. So long as the Bears' offense is healthy and coordinated, they'll be just fine. Don't let this loss ruin what could turn out to be a promising season.
