Mitchell Trubisky Wants TVs Turned Off at Bears Facility So He Can't Watch People Ripping the Bears

The Chicago Bears are trying to get back to their glory days, which apparently means scrapping the forward pass all together.

Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has regressed after leading the Bears to a division title and sneaking into the Pro Bowl last year, as his 5.5 yards per attempt and 80.0 passer rating has a terrific Bears defense stuck in the doldrums of mediocrity at 3-4. Trubisky is fed up with being the media's punching bag over these last few weeks, and is angling to get some of the TVs at Halas Hall shut off in order to block out the noise.

That's what happens when you almost go an entire half of football without completing a pass beyond the line of scrimmage.

Matt Nagy might not be Bill Walsh, but the guy can coach offense. The fact that Trubisky has been given receivers like Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller, but fails to connect with them on anything longer than 10 yards downfield is a borderline crime.

Trubisky and the Bears have blown out their engine and are currently leaking coolant at an alarming rate. Sticking their head in the sand isn't going to help anyone, as facing the music might be the only way to properly motivate this offense to figure out a competent gameplan.
