After three weeks of success http://www.bearsfootballauthentics.com/ ... -authentic , adversitys, penalties, and a faltering defense all combined to help take down the Bears 31-28 in overtime Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.The mistakes ended a three-game winning streak by Chicago (3-2) and even led to the first real criticism for coach Matt Nagy. On Monday at Halas Hall, Nagy stood up for his share of blame."I'm a big boy," Nagy said. "I can handle the criticism."Of more concern than all of this with the New England Patriots coming to Soldier Field on Sunday is Mack's health. He completed the game after suffering an ankle injury, but failed to record a sack for the first time this season.Team medical personnel will evaluate his injury in the next few days, and Nagy said it won't include X-rays.Chicago's defense looked entirely different without Mack 100 percent healthy. The pass rush never got to Miami quarterback Brock Osweiler, and the Bears' league-best run defense was trampled by 35-year-old running back Frank Gore for 101 of Miami's 161 rushing yards.Missed tackles on Albert Wilson contributed to two shorter passes going for long touchdowns to cap off a nightmare afternoon in the heat for the Bears."I hope it's an aberration, but we'll discuss it and we make everybody accountable," Nagy said about poor tackling. "I think for our team and our players we like to pump them up and show them the good stuff, but we'll also show them the bad stuff. You know, why did this happen? And use it as motivation."So I hope it was just a one-time thing."Some turnovers took on a different form than in other games this season.Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky threw one interception in the end zone Womens Allen Robinson II Jersey , but for the first time the Bears offense had someone other than Trubisky lose a fumble.Both Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen lost the ball, Howard at the goal line and Cohen with the offense near midfield in pursuit of the winning points."We need to protect the football better," Nagy said. "We need to have better ball security and try to win those turnover margins."Howard went for more than a quarter without a carry following his goal-line fumble, but Nagy said no punishment was involved and this was determined more by the game situation."Anytime somebody does that, a lot of times you're in that mode where somebody fumbles the football and you want to give them the football right away," Nagy said. "But for us, we were having success throwing the football in the second half and we just stuck with that."Despite the interception, Trubisky put up a strong second half and finished 22 of 31 for 316 yards with three touchdowns. His passer rating for the season is 105.6."Mitch is playing really well right now, he's playing really well," Nagy said. "You're seeing the growth of the players' trust within each other, and his growth with these players."Nagy had to fend off questions about his overtime decision to run the ball on third down, rather than pass to try to get Cody Parkey a field goal try closer than 53 yards in overtime. Parkey missed it wide right."Hindsight is 20-20," Nagy said. "You pass the ball and get the first (down), and then who knows what goes on from there? In the end Youth Leonard Floyd Jersey , I felt very comfortable with giving Cody Parkey a chance to make that field goal."And I'll say this: Depending on the situations, I have ultimate trust in him to make that."The Bears remained in first place in the NFC North with a 3-2 record after the loss, and Nagy looked ahead with a positive attitude."This is not a 'Debbie Downer' organization," Nagy said referring to the "Saturday Night Live character. "We're a winning team, we lost that game, life goes on. How're we going to get better?"Over and unders for Mitchell Trubisky, Leonard Floyd and other Bears The popular online gambling site Bovada has revealed a new set of over and under prop bets for the NFL. You can check them out in the link above, but I wanted to highlight their Chicago Bears’ props for 2018. I’ll run down the list and give my take for each one now that we’ve seen most of the preseason. Mitchell Trubisky over/underPassing yards: 3,500Passing touchdowns: 19Interceptions: 13.5If Trubisky plays all sixteen games I’m taking the over on each of these. The new weapons on offense and coaching regime will ensure Trubisky has plenty of chances to eclipse all three numbers. Think of the yardage number like this: he’d have to average 219 yards per game to get more than 3,500 yards on the season. In last year’s system, he averaged 183 yards per game. Are the offensive upgrades worth 36 yards per game more? I think they are. I think the touchdowns will be a byproduct of the new scheme and weapons too, but also because of more opportunity. The same for the interceptions. While I would hope Trubisky is under on the picks, he’s still a young quarterback and those guys are prone to make a youthful mistake from time to time. Jordan Howard over/underRushing yards: 1,200Rushing and receiving touchdowns: 8.5I’ll take the under on the rushing yards Womens Cody Parkey Jersey , and the over on the number of touchdowns. Even though I’m going under on yards, I think Howard will be back to averaging around five yards per carry like he did as a rookie in 2016. He had nine rushing touchdowns last year, and I think he could get the same in 2018. Tarik Cohen over/underCombined rushing and receiving yards: 775Total rushing, receiving and return TDs: 4.5This is a tough one because we haven’t seen how head coach Matt Nagy plans to use Cohen yet. In training camp, Cohen was all over the offense, but so was Taylor Gabriel. Last year’s total offensive yards for Cohen was 723 yards. He’s bulked up a bit this year, so I think he may get more than the 87 rushing attempts as a rookie. I’ll take the over. Cohen also had four total touchdowns in 2017: can Nagy squeeze one more out of him in 2018? I think so. Give me the over there too. Allen Robinson over/underReceiving yards: 950Receiving touchdowns: 6A healthy Robinson certainly has the potential to fly past those numbers, but I have a feeling it may take a few weeks for his presence to show up in the offense. It seems like the plan is for this to be a tight end-centric offense, and for that I’m going under on both of these figures. That’s not to disvalue the importance Robinson will have to the offense. I just think with so many other weapons his numbers may be lower than we think. Trey Burton over/underReceiving yards: 600Receiving touchdowns: 5Since I believe the tight ends will play a major part in this offense, give me the over on both of these. Burton will be the ultimate chess piece as Nagy’s “U” tight end. Leonard Floyd over/underTotal sacks: 5.5This prediction is completely based on Floyd finally being able to get through a full season in his third year. If he does, I think he hits the over. His technique has improved each off-season, and health is all that’s holding him back from breaking out and dominating. Akiem Hicks over/underTotal sacks: 7.5If the Bears can keep Hicks fresh in 2018 and give him ample rest when needed, I think he surpasses his career high of 8.5 sacks from 2017.
