Even that EZ INT, while I can blame Foles for throwing into that coverage, just look at that play; just where was Foles supposed to go with that ball? And why dial up a play where your receiver is running away from the QB at top speed? The window on that throw was ridiculously tight.
Bottom line, Foles hasn't been impressive since starting, but really neither has the play-calling. Nagy needs to dial up plays that protect his QB, where he doesn't have to stand in that crappy pocket (using the term "pocket" incredibly loosely) for 4 seconds reading the defense. He needs to scheme up some better running plays to take some of the heat off his passer, and some creative but quick passing plays. Becuas whatever Nagy is dialing up right now isn't working at all, and he's gone through two QBs now trying it. He needs to go back to the drawing board and find some plays that his QB can actually execute.
Chicago's line can't do anything well. This is an organizational failure at this point. [Reply]
We can talk about Ryan Pace, injuries and whatever else, but Nagy needs to own up... his offense shouldn't look that bad, he's had enough time to get things dialed in better than THAT [Reply]

“That’s not what I was trying to bring across in that conversation,” he said.
“We go through plays and different situations, and I’ll be honest and say we need to get the ball out quicker. We were talking about game situations and Coach Nagy’s and my conversations and our relationship. I’ll say on the sideline, ‘Maybe we don’t have the time right now for this type of drop because of the pressure that they’re bringing.’ I think that’s a valuable conversation I’m able to have with him.”

I don't think that Foles is a fit for McVay's offense and they don't have a full compliment of draft picks because they've been trading them like a drunken sailor has been at the helm for the past few years. [Reply]

Right but all that aside, they kind of did him dirty. I doubt he'd want to go back there even if he did get a chance. [Reply]
Unsurprising. Foles has been washed for a while now. Whatever mobility he had is apparently long gone, and his deep ball accuracy also took a serious crap recently. [Reply]
