If the Bears want to make the playoffs, they’re going to need some help from teams like the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams.

Adam Hoge and Adam Jahns breakdown the game from the Soldier Field press box. They discuss Mitchell Trubisky’s strong performance, which included three touchdown passes. Hoge and Jahns talk about the game plan Coach Matt Nagy used against the Cowboys, and also play the audio of Coach’s postgame press conference.

With postseason hopes on the brink of mathematical elimination, Bears fans have shifted their focus from wanting wins to wanting to see progress from their young starting quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky.

The guys listen and react to the postgame comments from head coach Matt Nagy and Mitchell Trubisky. Later on, they look ahead to the short week and the game in Detroit on Thanksgiving.

Last Sunday, with less than four minutes to play and the Bears down 17-7 to the L.A. Rams, head coach Matt Nagy pulled starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

The next day, Nagy reinforced that Trubsiky was removed based solely on the injury and that if healthy, he’s the starter. Adam Hoge and Adam Jahns discuss how this went of the rails and who is to blame. Hoge think there’s a move the Bears could make at quarterback before the offseason, and the guys talk about which assistant coaches may be looking for new jobs.
