Bears Mailbag -- Chances of Benching Nick Foles for Mitch Trubisky?

The Chicago Bears are 3-1 after a loss to the Indianapolis Colts.  Three and One.  If you only looked at Twitter , you'd think they are 0-4.  Granted, they could be 0-4, but they're not. Yet, some angst is warranted.  After escaping with three wild wins against Detroit, the New York Giants, and Atlanta, the Bears were thoroughly demolished in a 19-11 home loss to Indy that wasn't quite as close as the score.  While the defense competed, the offense was manhandled on all fronts.  Matt Nagy had a rough day, Nick Foles had a rough day, the offensive line had a demotion-worthy day, you name it.  Here was my post-game thread:

And here was my observations thread after reviewing the All-22, focused on scheming receivers open on passing plays:

The Bears take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Soldier Field on Thursday Night Football this week.  They have a lot of improvements to make if they want to beat that team.  They better hope they're ready. With that, let's reach into this week's Bears Mailbag.  Thanks to everyone who submitted questions.  Follow me on Twitter @DhruvKoul to continue the conversation.

Let me elaborate on this one.  After the win over the Falcons, Matt Nagy said Nick Foles will be the starting quarterback "moving forward."  That means the only way Mitch Trubisky makes it back on the field is due to injury or if Foles is so bad that Nagy can't a) justify playing Foles anymore, or b) trust him anymore. We have to remember -- Nagy simply doesn't trust Trubisky, and that matters a lot when calling plays and designing an offensive game plan.  What good is a plan if you don't think your QB can execute it?  The other thing to keep in mind is this:  Trubisky has over two years' worth of tape with Nagy showing he can't consistently process or execute.  Even when the offense was "tailored" more to Mitch this offseason and we saw stuff that Trubisky and fans everywhere clamored for in Weeks 1-3, Trubisky struggled with consistency.  Nagy simply lost patience, but it'd been brewing for a while. Foles had an awful showing against Indianapolis, no doubt, and so did Matt Nagy.  Let's give this combo one more month -- that's when we'll have a much better idea as to whether Foles can get it done or not.  Sunday was bad, but the reality of the circumstances also should be acknowledged:  First start and prep week as a starter, no real training camp or preseason to get right, Nagy's first time calling plays for Foles specifically (it wasn't good), and an outstanding Colts defense as the opponent.  If we're saying the same things in mid-November, then the Bears are officially in panic mode.
