Week 7: Bears at Buccaneers

[raw]

It may not be the best idea to have your 4th RT, who knew he was starting an hour ago, block a good edge rusher 1 on 1 on an obvious passing down. How many more horsefeathering times you gotta see it?

[Wilson A2000]

I’ve never wanted to pull Fields just because he was playing poorly, but he’s going to get hurt with this line and his lack of pocket awareness

[BigSlick]

It may be time to put Dalton in, nothing to be gained here for Fields.

There were no adjustments by Nagy in the Cleveland game, which was a joke. If there are no adjustments in this game? It would be beyond ridiculous.

This is pathetic.

 

Unfortunately, I honestly think Bears' ownership could care less about the product on the field. Their focus is on a new stadium deal.

 

They'll be starting from scratch soon... again. George McCaskey will speak firmly and almost believably about how upset he and "The Family" are about the current state of the team. Then they'll go about hiring people who will do things their way instead of the right way. And the cycle will continue.

 

Again... pathetic.

I mean i do believe Virginia wants to see the Bears good again before she dies, and not to be crass but she could drop dead any day now. I just don’t think they have any clue how to make the Bears good and/or are blinded by loyalty to Phillips and maybe Pace now. The Bears have had 1.5 good decades of football in the last 6 (I’ll give a 0.5 to the 00’s that had legitimately good teams but only made the playoffs 3 times) so there’s nothing to believe that they can suddenly figure out how to build a winning football organization.

 

They are a mom and pop shop operating an NFL football team in the 3rd largest city in the country. The only way this franchise can turn around their fortunes is to sell the team

Those 2 pass plays by Brady/Evans were awesome.

Mostly solid coverage. Johnson got beat on the deep one, but anything other than a perfect throw and he breaks it up.

James Daniels has a huge ass.

For those scoring at home, 4 TDs in this half for Tom Brady. 3 passing TDs for the Bears this year.

I was going to make a post about how Mac Jones put up 54 on the Jets today and the Bears halfway through their 7th game barely got over the 100 point mark for the season.

 

Not saying Jones is a stud and Fields sucks (at least too early to say anything definitive) but there are good organizations out there and then there are the Bears.

 

Btw the NE fans I know have been criticizing Jones constantly and even today said “yeah but it’s the Jets”. Spoiled little shits

600 passing TDs in Brady’s career. Quick math says that’s equal to averaging 30 TDs a season for 20 years.

 

The Bears have never had a QB throw for 30 TDs in a season.

[UMFan83]

That last INT wasn’t really much of Fields fault but I see horsefeathers like that and wonder how QBs finish with 6-7 INTs in a season. Do other teams never have plays like that? Or where the WR falls down in their route?

[UMFan83]

Gotta love the announcers openly mocking the Bears getting blown out. “Oh this is a giant decision for the Bucs” lol

I honestly don’t know why, but no some teams with elite passing offenses somehow manage to limit that kind of tipped ball stuff. You’d think pure luck alone would make it happen more.

[UMFan83]

3 interceptions, 2 lost fumbles, 2 additional fumbles that are recovered. Fields looks like he’s almost in tears on the sideline.

 

Hopefully one day we look at this game as rock bottom for Fields and the Bears

I don’t think Trubisky ever reached those lows

what if fields is bad

It'll be another 10 years, 4 coaches and two GMs of this.

[JeffH]

When you combine well below average talent with a head coach who is the worst in the league, the worst in franchise history, and one of the very worst the NFL has ever seen, the results are not going to be good.

[raw]

The narrative will be that Nagy should be fired, just like it was against the Packers, Rams, and Browns. But IDK what a coach is supposed to do in a game like this. The Bears are moving the pocket, they are max protecting at times, they changed the personnel at RT, they are running the ball, they are throwing the ball down the field trying to do everything to help Fields out.....he's just playing like crap, against the same defense that made Patrick Mahomes look like crap and provided the blueprint that has been used this year to stop him.

 

The Raiders and Bengals wins now look very good. The Bears are showing that they are not a team that can hang with elite contenders like Tampa, GB, a healthy Browns team, and LAR. We already knew that. But they have 2 more games against the NFL's elite. They have a decent chance to win every other game on their schedule. They won't, but as Denny Green said, "they are who we thought they were". They're a mediocre team dependent on a good defense that can win them games against other mediocre teams.

If he fails, I will always believe he could have been good but for an inept organization. I’ll never accept he was destined to fail regardless or organization.

I don't love Nagy, but I still blame Pace more than him. This is a bad roster, badly constructed, because he refuses to care about efficiently spending his resources.

One thing that does concern me about fields beyond things like poor offensive system and reading defenses is that he’s been less accurate than I had expected. Not just on deep balls but I see a lot of overthrows or throws behind. The deflected interception should have been caught but if I’m remembering correctly the pass was high. There was an incompletion from Mooney in the 1st quarter that should have been caught but was thrown behind Mooney a bit. The third interception was under thrown, the first interception sailed high enough that I’m not convinced ARob had a shot at it even if he didn’t slip.
