I get it...and you need to take shots down field...but do you really think its smart to call long developing plays with this o line vs that d line with those corners?
Yes. You take the Sack if needed.
Even PA calls weren't made. They never had to respect a deep ball and if you want to see those effects, just rewatch Jalen Ramseys first half.
Like I said...I get it...but I don't know that taking the sack is a good strategy either. In that respect I think Nagy can't do anything right sometimes with you guys. Had he called long developing plays that resulted in multiple sacks a lot of you would be killing him for doing that with this o line vs. that d line and those corners.

He didn't do it even once. That's not the same. Nagy is just bad at calling plays. There is no middle ground, it's only extremes. He's a Sith.
either only calls passes, no passes at all, no deep balls with only hoping for run to make 10+ a try (against the NFLs best rush defense). It makes no sense, not when you play into the hands of Ramsey and Donald on the inside.
and yes. I'd rather take 1-3 additional Sacks in this game while trying to throw longer than 5 yards with Goodwin and Moneys speed and Robinsons Franchise. Not having Graham in the redzone is a joke.

For what its worth, apparently Nagy did dial-up some longer plays, but the Ram's zone is designed to take those away and force the checkdown. They would rather give up the first down on a checkdown than allow something deeper. OL blocked well on this play. Fields could have started IMO.

I read that also. The offense was taking what the defense was giving them - and moving the ball and dominating TOP - but they just made some hurtful penalties, had busted plays on D, and of course Dalton's int in the end zone hurt too. The game (I believe) came down to a small handful of plays that swung the game 21 points away from the Bears. You just can't give up 21 points due to bad plays, to a powerful team like the Rams - and expect to win. I think it just came down to that.
When playing a powerful team like the Rams, the Bears' margin of error is mighty tiny. You gotta have your head in the game and not make many stupid mistakes. Unfortunately the Bears made too many and lost the game.

Again...I don't disagree with some of what you said (I don't agree with the sacks part)...but I also don't know what Nagy called and Dalton checked out of. So while I don't love Nagy as a play caller, I can't with any certainty say he didn't call any deep shots.
why is our offense always taking what the D gives them? Why can't we dictate the game and make the D react to us?
Oh yeah, Nagy.
No...thats not it. He's not the one who's out there executing. Plus, Dalton is a game manager at this point. He's not going to take the chances, especially against a defense like the Rams have...which isn't necessarily bad...if our defense wasn't so inept.

As I have been saying, there's plenty of blame to go around here. We all also knew in advance that beating the Rams, especially on the road, was a tall order. The Bears simply don't have as talented a roster as the top teams.
Offensively, we are a below average roster. We have been below average for years now, nothing new there. To have a realistic shot to win, the O needed to score into the 20s minimum. That INT on the opening drive really hurt.
Defensively, we all agree it was a poor performance. I also think it was unrealistic to think this D could "shut down" an attack as potent as the Rams have with Stafford at QB. LA was gonna score in the 20s almost certainly and the Bears defense is a shadow of what it was in 2018. With this secondary, I'll be very surprised if the Bears defense doesn't finish in the bottom half of NFL rankings by January.
Bears are gonna have win games with a "whole team" type of effort. Gone are the days where the defense could be expected to do most of the heavy lifting.
