But this game has just completely swung round

Nick's definitely looked shaky in this game. But I think what is helping him right now is that the rest of his team is still fighting and helping him make plays. Players like other players in the offense didn't stop fighting when he made those bad throws earlier on and players like Coradelle Patterson, David Montgomery, Jimmy Graham are making big plays for him. (The big turnover the Bears got later in the second half helped as well.) I think that these things has helped him start to settle in a little more in this game.

That's one thing I will definitely give the Bears credit for especially these past few years. They will play hard and fight regardless of how poorly their QB at the moment plays. It's one of the reasons why people felt like they could go far with even an average QB.

I still think their D is top 5 in the league, looked a bit like us with Bortles, they seemed to have no faith in the O. Trubisky has had more than enough chances and doesnt look a number 2 pick. I agree that the team is buying into Foles and just trying to give him shots.

That fumble before the half was huge but I like this Bucs team and Brady is still playing well
