Week 5: Bears at Raiders

[Brian]

this is exactly why I never got bothered with all this, it was always going to work itself out sooner than the biggest doom boners thought it would.

future headline, probably, "Does Justin Fields care too much?"

[UMFan83]

horsefeathers YEAH

 

 

Did management tell him to do this or he’s gone? No reason to say Dalton is QB1 when healthy and then change your mind on Wednesday.

The injured #1 QB is still our starter when healthy is coach speak. I don't see any reason to think Nagy had to be dragged kicking and screaming into making this decision. This was always the plan. Dalton was going to get some games, they were going to draft a guy early, depending on who that guy was is how many games Dalton would get. Fields was one of the few that could make this decision come earlier and once he was the guy it was only a matter of time.

 

All that hand wringing for nothing.

 

But hand wringing is one of my favorite pastimes

This Fields move was 100% management telling Nagy to stop being such a stupid ass

I think a lot of the reason it worked out like this is because so many people were pissed about this decision and were able to bully Nagy, ownership, management, whoever that this stupid crap needs to stop.

 

In conclusion, you're only a true fan if you're a maniac both online and IRL. :crazy:

He can't be mayor if they play in Arlington Heights.

I'm not go in goto lie, but I was concerned with Nagy

My majestic doom boner for the Bears is independent of Fields

Uh I was trying to think of a franchise that wasted good QB play.

While I was predicting a decade of 8-9 finishes with a #6 seed sprinkled in now and then

But then is his doom boner independent of Fields or is Fields just a continuation of the same doom boner.

 

If they're the Fischer rams it's the latter.

There's a part of me, which I know isn't exactly true, that almost doesn't care how well we do in the standings for a few years if I at least get to see an above average offense for a consistent period of time.

 

Now I know it isn't true. I know it would drive me nuts in an equal and opposite way that watching a consistently good defense combined with horrible offenses has for my entire life.

 

But I just want to know what it feels like. I want to taste it. Show me what a good consistent passing attack. What would it look like to see a 15 yard pass and not think its semi-miraculous. Please. Just a taste.

We gotta stop bringing up the past and quit the witch hunts. What these young guys said 10 years ago when they were....*checks notes* 48 years old, don't reflect who they are today.
