Week 8: BEARS vs. San Francisco 49ers

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I expect the Bears to suck at least next year and probably a little beyond that. None of these guys matter except Fields.

Okay I'm just gonna say it: Fields looked great, but I feel like there's still a little to much lift behind the nothing else matters talking point (everywhere)

 

Is Fields the overwhelming most important piece? Yes.

 

Do other things/players matter? Also yes.

 

It's okay to want multiple things guys. I know we're all QB starved, but this isn't normal.

I don't disagree, but I don't know what to do with the info. I was out trick or treating with the kids and watched the game on partial delay. Didn't really care about the loss, was pretty happy with Fields.

 

This game kind of epitomized my theory about the Bears hopes for this year. They were happy to sacrifice defense, and in some cases wins, for offensive improvement. They have overspent on defense for so long that they had to cut back from that side to address some offensive needs and would be okay losing high scoring games where Fields looks good. The overall team is obviously a mess, but we knew that.

yes, we know that; you're entire being is having an outlook that is entirely hopeless

This is mostly strength of schedule thankfully. The Bears have played the #1, #2, #4, #5, and #7 offenses by DVOA already. Cincy and LV are a bit below average, while the Lions are the solely bad offense they've faced.

I guess maybe it just seems like people are inflating Fields performance a tad. He did some spectacular things, but like it shouldn't be a "he's arrived" moment like some seem to be wanting it to be. It was just a really nice positive data point after some rough ones.

Why would something good happen when something bad could happen instead?
