  • they were 20 with Mitra.

  • Drobinski is their quarterback.

  • Then they had a third game of the season against Atlanta, which they ultimately won because Nick Foles came in and saved the day because Mitchell Drobinski did not look that great.

  • And we understand that.

  • But if you remember back at that time, when they had elected to start him the very next game, I think it was against India.

  • If I remember correctly, what I said then is what I still was still holds true.

  • Now I said Nick Foles coming into a game late in the season and saving the day is different when you ask him to be that guy Dan in there from jump start, which means pretty early in the season, what you're going to do is jeopardize him.

  • He's not gonna have the durability necessary.

  • He's going to get himself hurt, and in the meantime, you're gonna just completely.

  • Mr Drabinsky's confidence is going to be shot.

  • You're not going to be able to recover from this and lo and behold what has happened.

  • Nick Foles proceeded to lose five of the next seven games.

  • He ultimately gets hurt.

  • Mitral Robiskie has to come back in, and yesterday he looked like he had absolutely no confidence whatsoever.

  • No, he doesn't make the greatest decisions, and he damn sure ain't the greatest passer.

  • And we understand that.

  • But we also know that we saw better things from him when he was moving those wheels when he was running with the football.

  • And the reason why I hold Matt Nagy so accountable for that.

  • Matt Nagy was not just the quality control coach.

  • He was a quarterbacks coach in Kansas City, was quality control coach and assistant.

  • Philadelphia.

  • He goes to Kansas City for four years.

  • He's the quarterbacks coach before he's the offensive coordinator in 2017.

  • And then he gets the head coaching job with the Chicago Bears.

  • Not on Lee is often supposed to be your thing.

  • Quarterbacks are supposed to be your thing, and somehow some way you've had ample time to at least put Mitra Dubitsky in a forward direction and have him looking better and that has not been the case.

  • So I think that he did ruin it with this move and I think it's unfortunate.

  • I'm not saying he should be fired or anything, because this will be his first losing season if he would have it.

  • But I'm not high on the job that he has done this year with the Chicago Bears at all, or the job that he has done with Mr Dubitsky.

  • Max Period.

  • Maggie's move is not what cost the Bears their season, then ruined the bear season.

  • Two things ruin the bear season.

  • The Bears offensive line is one, and the schedule was, too.

  • Let's go through this.

  • Stephen A.

  • Bears beat the Lions Week one.

  • Bad team.

  • The Giants who back then, especially, weren't playing as well as their playing recently.

  • Bad team.

  • That's two wins.

  • As you said, Falls had to come in to get by the Falcons.

  • Also not a good team, that's all.

  • Teams with losing records.

  • And then Foles continues, And now they're playing the Colts culture.

  • A very good team, and the Bears lose.

  • But foals helps them beat the Bucks.

  • The heavily favored bucks in the game that Brady forgot the doubt foals through the past.

  • His team needed them to throw to get to field goal range.

  • They kicked the field goal.

  • They go ahead.

  • Brady failed to do the same thing right okay the first time they met since Falls beat him in the Super Bowl.

  • Now the next game, the Panthers What happens?

  • The Bears win the Panthers.

  • Not a very good team so far.

  • Whether the quarterback is true, Biscay or foals, they beat the bad teams, and they have one win against a good team authored by Nick Foles.

  • Okay, now what happens?

  • They play the Rams.

  • They got pushed all around up front.

  • They lost.

  • Then the Saints.

  • They lost by a field goal, then the Titans.

  • These are all excellent teams.

  • And they lost, by the way.

  • They were close competitive games.

  • But they lost.

  • No offensive line.

  • Falls couldn't overcome it.

  • Neither could Robiskie.

  • I don't think it would have mattered who was quarterback, but folds at least gave them a better chance.

  • Then folds got hurt in the Vikings game, which they lost.

  • And now we see true Biscay against the Packers.

  • Lost, just like photos would have lost to the Packers.

  • So without an offensive line, they weren't gonna be very good.

  • They've an awful offensive line.

  • They weren't gonna be very good, But what looked early like maybe they're better than they were was schedule the Onley quarterback between the two toe beat.

  • A good team was Nick Foles.

  • He still gave them their best chance to win, even though he wasn't mobile and it was a bad line.

  • And the fact that he got hurt?

  • Yep, that could happen behind.

  • A bad offensive line could have happened to Drobinski, too.

  • You do not put an immobile quarterback behind a bad offensive line when the reason you brought him there was to be ready as the season, Wayne.

  • Because you knew that your defense was elite enough that you have a good shot not only at the postseason but making noise in the postseason, particularly when you're finding a way to win football games.

  • I have no problem with him taking Dubitsky out of the game against the Atlanta Falcons and bringing Nick Foles in the win.

  • That third game of the season, which left them at three.

  • And oh, but you put Mitra Drobinski back in, and if you gotta make musical chairs with it, where you bring Nick Foles in 4th, 4th quarter, whatever to save the day for a few weeks you do that, but you use Metro Dubitsky as much as you possibly can, because you want to give him every opportunity toe elevate because you don't trust that Nick Foles is going to stay healthy because his history has proven that that's going to be an issue for him, Not to mention the fact that you have a bad offensive line.

  • That's where I'm coming from.

  • With that and the concession to see the regression of a Metro job, it's key when not on Lee.

  • Being an offensive coordinator and having an offensive background is what you have in Matt Nagy, but toe play for I mean the coach, four years as a quarterbacks coach and watch this kid continue to regress.

  • I think it's unfortunate, and I think it's our Navy.

  • Well, look, the Bears air five and six, right?

  • So when you say it's not that your points are wrong, you're talking about what would optimizing strategy look like for the Bears?

  • You bring Nick Foles in a game or two if you need to try to win the game.

  • A game on the line of whiskey is not playing well.

  • And then toward the end of the season, if you're in striking distance, you bring in folds because there's fewer chances for him to get hurt.

  • Steven, it wouldn't matter.

  • Was was Nick Foles gonna beat the Packers last night?

  • Healthy Nick Foles?

  • No, they were gonna lose to the Packers.

  • The Onley difference, like yes, Falls would be healthy now, but Robiskie would have lost all the same teams.

  • The only difference is they wouldn't have beaten the bucks.

  • They'd be a game worse than they are.

  • So it's not that you're wrong in terms of optimizing strategy.

  • Or maybe don't put in a mobile quarterback behind the bad offensive line.

  • The point is, that's not what ruin the season.

  • The fact that they didn't have an offensive line and that their schedule got tough ruin the season.

  • Well, Max, didn't you just finished saying that Nick Foles gives them the best chance to win?

  • I didn't know.

  • I wasn't aware that you just gonna automatically concede that if Nick Foles is in the lineup, they're gonna lose the game anyway.

  • And if that's how you feel and you place such value with Nick Foles, why put him in that situation since you knew they were gonna lose?

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

they were 20 with Mitra.
