Trubisky reminds me of a young unpolished Rodgers.
Good arm, good legs.
Chicago has been afflicted with "The Cutler Curse".
No matter their QB of the future, he will always throw a pick at the most crucial time. They may play well overall, getting everyone excited for the game and then:
Denver cured it by selling Elway's soul to the devil and spending insane amounts of monies. Not sure if anyone's soul has been sold, but Chicago did try the spending cash part, and then:
Hopefully da bearz at least bruised them up a bit while the Pack is R & R'ing.
I can't remember the last time I rooted that hard for the Bears.
Oh well....Gotta take care of bizness next week
In a few weeks when Bridgewater and Bradford are "healthy", the vikes will have 3 "starting" QB's.

Like when Rodgers was about...12 years old.

Sam Bradford, Mike Glennon, Jay Cutler, Joey Harrington, Christian Ponder, etc., etc., etc.
Matt Stafford might be the best "other" QB in the division in the last 25 years.
I would actually give that honor to Mark Brunell. And he was Favres backup..
Da Bears MLB couldn't get the defense set before the vikings ran the play. I am betting that Bradford rides the pine in the Packer-viking game. Trubisky had the vikings on the ropes late but gave the game away on that INT.
If Trubs doesn't make that rookie interception mistake, I think the Bears win. It will be interesting to see if Fox survives the year. He looks like a man who wants off the island.

Actually he reminds me of a young Romo
CHI moved him around (roll-outs) a lot last night, hard to gauge his skills with how much they did to give him opportunities. Not a sustainable game plan.
He does have the tipped pass for a touchdown in his arsenal.
I think they rolled him out to A) keep him away from the Vikings' DL which is pretty good, especially Hunter, B) cut down on his reads so he doesn't have to try to take in the entire field, and C) keep the throws easy and simple: see guy in front of you, throw the ball to him. It backfired on the interception, but the rollouts -- and the ineptness of the Vikings' offense -- helped keep the Bears in the game until the end. They probably should have won if they weren't, you know, the Bears.
I thought that Da Bears two point conversion play was pretty nice in that the vikings had no idea where the ball was.
