Some trainers garbage the cassette of a lousy playoff loss, attempting to get the staff to move on in the heartbreak and focus on the long run. Not Matt Nagy. According to running back Tarik Cohen, the Chicago Bears coach was showing clips of this playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles to remind them about their pain. “He will show it all through team meetings that we have in the evenings so that the whole staff can see it,” Cohen told Adam Schein on Mad Dog Sports Radio. The Bears’ season ended. The devastating loss to the Eagles came after Mitchell Trubisky marched Chicago down the area to put up what appeared to be a game-winning comeback. LATEST ANALYSIS ???

So that drives us and motivates to get through practice daily.” The missed field goal receives all of the attention, however, the Bears’ offense sputtered for the majority of three quarters and the defense couldn’t stop Nick Foles about the Eagles’ final TD drive. Chicago had plenty of opportunities to wrench the game away. Nagy hopes adopting the painful memories of that loss will motivate his players throughout the offseason. “We definitely needed a shortcoming we feel like we are a better team and we could have travelled further in the playoffs,” Cohen said. “But that is definitely driving us, this season, and coach Nagy won’t let us forget it. He shows us what happens frequently so we continue to be pushed by this, and we’re just preparing to make that run again.” Many great stories begin with a miserable failure. The Bears expect the double-doink is the letdown to propel a 2019 story that ends with a Lombardi Trophy. Read more here: http://midriks.com/?p=2115
