after a while best of career In London against the Jacksonville Jaguars, former USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams and Chicago Bears They were flying high and sitting at 4-2 heading into the bye week. Since then, the Bears are 0-2, including the heartbreak-filled loss to their fellow rookie quarterback. jayden daniels and Sunday’s 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, where the Bears not only suffocated, but also I was completely embarrassed.

I want to be able to help this teamN. “I want to be able to help the Chicago Bears achieve their goals at the end of the season,” Caleb Williams said after the game.

Williams remained in the game late in the fourth quarter and limped off the field. However, Bears coach Matt Eberflus said the rookie quarterback’s injury was not too serious.

“And I know the questions are going to be about Caleb. I saw him, he left with a little limp. He came in, he looks good. We’ll check on him in the morning. You never know how these things go.” When asked about Caleb’s health at the post-match press conference, Eberflus said:

Williams finished the game completing 22 of 41 passes for 217 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. The story is in the game plan, or lack thereof, of coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. The Arizona Cardinals, who entered the game ranked 28th in yards per play allowed at 376.5 yards, were able to hold the Bears to 241 total yards. Even more remarkable was the transitional generation and how it affected Williams, who was sacked six times.

In the first half alone, the Cardinals were able to generate quarterback pressure from twelve different defenders. That’s the highest rate in the last two seasons, according to Next Gen Stats. The Cardinals finished the game with 16 different players, the most in an NFL game since 2018. Coming into the game, the Cardinals were producing just a 26.6 percent pressure rate but managed to increase that to 46 percent in 2018. Sunday.

The game of football is physical, and no matter how much the rules change, nothing will change that, Trey. Regardless, having insight and insight is an integral part of a team’s decision-makers, especially when it comes to the rookie quarterback selected first overall. So was Caleb Williams still in the game when he took the unnecessary penalty, trailing 29-9? The answer is lack of leadership.

“I’m sorry, that doesn’t make any sense to me. This is your rookie quarterback… I don’t think he should have been there for two minutes,” CBS analyst Charles Davis said in the closing moments of the game, where Williams kept getting penalized for no apparent reason.

Williams was not without faults today. The difference is the complete lack of cohesion of the staff. There were no positive moments to be drawn from the Commanders match today, such as the one that helped them regain the lead in the fourth quarter and take the lead with seconds remaining. The only saving grace was that Williams escaped relatively healthy. While Williams was confusingly late in the still unwinnable game, he was hit low and suffered an ankle injury.

Williams undoubtedly has habits that need improvement. His deep ball accuracy is lacking. Williams’ elusiveness in the pocket probably saved four or five sacks today, but he also needs to understand that he can’t get away with the things he did in college.

It’s hard to find the fine line because the best plays for the Bears’ offense today were due to this improvisation, but it comes towards the bottom of the list when evaluating the Bears’ offense. Changes need to be made quickly and quickly.
