This is absolutely true. There are many issues with the Bears offense and not all on Fields, of course. When you have blitz coming you either throw a screen or go over the top, or a hot route to the outside, for example. The problem with the bears is execution but mostly winning your 1 on 1 fucking matchups. If they blitz someone, often more than one will be 1 on 1 but we rarely win those matchups and it’s fucking infuriating.
Screen plays are how you beat the blitz though. The Bears just don’t execute them well enough to keep defenses honest.

screens are not the only way to beat a blitz. slants and any quick, FORWARD pass works too.
