Week 2: Bears vs. Bengals

[Derwood]

Fields' throws look so good

[We Got The Whole 9]

But his false starts though...

How well does Fields have to play to get the starting job next week if Dalton is healthy? Or is there no chance of Fields starting if Dalton is healthy?

[Soul]

I didn’t see a push there. Didn’t have a great angle on the replay though.

[Wilson A2000]

Fields has been putting the ball on the money all day. Receivers gotta catch. Impressive throws.

[Tryptamine]

That 3rd down to Mooney was his first bad throw. His offense isn't helping him at all.

[Wilson A2000]

Eddie Jackson can tackle. He can tackle his teammate at least.

[Soul]

Ugh. Would’ve liked to have them take a little more time than that.

I guess he was a mirage. Really needed him to work out.

A Burrow throw

Great run, but I thought the ball was coming out

[Wilson A2000]

Foles should get a job this week with a few QBs going down

If they end up not looking back with Fields I look forward to big pass plays hopefully becoming a feature. Dalton played okay but was dunking and dunking a lot. Fields had a couple nice deep balls, and the one drop from ARob was an inexcusable drop.

 

Hopefully more reps with ones the false start issues are resolved. Seemed to be cadence related.

I don't know the numbers but gonna guess a take premised on "you should have run on 3rd and 7" isn't gonna hold up to much scrutiny

The pass behind the sticks was much worse than the decision not to run.

[Soul]

It sure was cool to see the Bears take the ball with 3 minutes left and snuff out the Bengals’ hopes. I feel like that’s a rarity with this team.

 

Think you’re gonna come back? Nope.

The Bengals have a young QB with a battered line. The defense played great, but let's see Mack have a great game and help hold down a good offense. Next week we'll know more.

Mack is making me sad.

I'm not sure who was calling plays on that first drive but I wish they'd call them all the time.

Hot take but I think Fields kind of proved it was the right decision to ease him into the season/career. His talent and upside is obvious but there are some rough edges to work around and I think having a few snaps every game was/is helping.

 

I was watching this one of my phone from the beach so I didn't catch every play, but I can't complain.

It will be interesting to see how he does if he plays next week with a full week of game install. It's a much better D and if he comes out crisper we may chalk it up to not having a game plan installed and 1st team snaps all week. Of course even if he plays out the season and generally proves he's ready I'll expect some big up and down moments still. Especially with young QBs, I think fans make the mistake of treating every positive and negative game as determinate of a direction when in reality, sometimes it's just gonna be noisy.
