(Newswire.net — September 27, 2018) — 18th September 2018 night featured more of a fun game with a fairly close, but an expected outcome. However, the harsh reality when it comes to the 24-17 victory of Bears over the Seahawks is that we witnessed the two teams heading in opposite directions in NFC. Chicago seems to rise and Seattle is trying to find an identity in the post-Legion of Boom era.

 Tradeoffs

 The Bears shoved their all-in-on Mitchell Trubisky’s contract by trading for Khalil Mack. Both of these guys made a significant impact as well as the free-agent signing Allen Robinson too made a mark. Chicago was also able to add more pieces to fill gaps like Mack and Robinson as Trubisky is cheaper to the veteran quarterbacks. Seattle tried to relegate and rebuild both the sides by trying to roster around Wilson. There are many players of interest at the side of Seattle; however, this was clearly a roster in the flux.

 Seattle’s game

 On assessing the game, in fact, the offensive line still seems to be a disaster. Wilson was kept under siege whole day and seemingly gets sacked six times. Was also under a lot of pressure. Lack of supportive weapons around him clearly reflected by forcing him to hard press and hold the ball for too long.

 On the other hand, Brian Schottenheimer tried to establish a run down 14 with hardly six minutes left; however, there was not be enough room to create a notable offense. Overall, the goal remained to be an old-school run team which made things uglier. Seahawks can always be better than people think when it comes to defensive mode. We can consider that they are still growing, but if they don’t pile up any victories early on, they may get badly hit. For more info, visit Wager Bop.

 The Bears

 Having said all these about Seattle, we are unsure whether Bears are going to be any good. They had been heavily hyped during this off-season, but their card had only 6.5 wins before the latest Mack trade. Chicago could have easily been 2-0 or 0-, which applies so to many other teams in the NFL. However, for Bears, it is fully fair to ask if Trubisky is the one who can elevate the roster into a secured position to make playoffs.

 If Trubisky is left at a better quarterback position, Bears may beat the Packers. However, if the Bears tend to defense and some Prince Amukamara pick a six, Bears could have been easily allowed Russell to get on the field and tie things up to the favor. Favoring Trubisky, he has good weapons around him and a solid defense which can bail him out. Trubisky features unrelenting athleticism which may make him an amazing quarterback; however, his inexperience put a cap on the expectations.

 The reassuring fact is that the Bears have been stellar in their offensive performance after initial scripting plays. Prior to the third quarter of the Monday’s game, Chicago doesn’t have a single touchdown of the non-opening drive. However, things are getting hotter in the coming weeks, and we must wait for more amazing action in AFL and some unexpected to come in.
