Quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears' offense once again struggled with poor execution, mental lapses, and curious play-calling in their 16-21 loss to the ColtsWilliams and the Bears' offense once again struggled with poor execution, mental lapses, and curious play-calling in their 16-21 loss to the Colts.
The Bears sent the offense out there and dusted off a play they had worked on all week to combat the Colts' goalline front."It's what we practiced," tight end Cole Kmet said."We wanted to get a certain look. I don’t know if we got the look we wanted on it. … We wanted to get a certain look they were showing on film at the goal line and you got to give them credit, they played it right.
With Waldron, one of the NFL's great teachers and adapters, along with three talented wide receivers and running back D'Andre Swift, the thought was that the Bears could lean on the run game and take the pressure off Williams to start the season. All these tools should have allowed Williams to settle in early and work on polishing his footwork and playing within structure so that he could start to take off as the season went on.
Instead, the Bears asked Williams to throw the ball 52 times. They did so not because the Colts stopped the run but because the Bears refused to even force Indy to prove it could do so. But those numbers feel a little bit like lipstick on a pig. The Bears trailed 21-9 midway through the fourth quarter and were only able to really find a rhythm in the passing game when the Colts were playing back and trying to limit the explosive plays behind them.
On the strip sack, Williams said he felt Colts rookie Laiatu Latu coming around the edge but wanted to make small movements to navigate it because Odunze was about to pop open behind the linebackers. But Latu got on him quicker than anticipated and knocked the ball loose before Williams could rip it to Odunze.
