Week 2 - Bears @ Packers, SNF

[Hairyducked Idiot]

For comparison, Fields career to date extrapolated to 17 games would be 2600 yards and 14 TDs.

 

I'm willing to give him a pass for last week because of the rain, but we need him to put up numbers.

No one is saying what he's done so far is acceptable. Some QBs like Herbert come in ready to be great, some like Russell Wilson can be adequate on day one but still improve, some like Josh Allen struggle but have enough strong qualities that allow them to develop into something great with good coaching. It remains to be seen if he falls into that 3rd grouping or if he belongs in the QB graveyard which is about 30% made up of former Bears QBs.

 

You are also counting 1 game where Fields took I believe 3 total snaps, and 2 games where he only played half the game (Cincinnati and Baltimore). Even if you adjust for that the numbers still aren't acceptable, but they are more in line with what Josh Allen did in his first 17 games.

lmao apparently Martz's remarks were really meant for Lance?

I suspected that night be the case. Explains why it sounded so unhinged.

The TD part of that equation is probably half noise between the two.

 

But also I'm kind of ignoring last year. In the vain of "realistic hope is that he eases in as a system guy" it kind of necessitates resetting this year since his rookie year was such a coaching failure.

 

And if it's also not obvious I'm not extrapolating the monsoon game too much. So yea I hope he can look like a good young system QB in 23 even if he got delayed a year in his career.

Regarding Fields, I will continue to do the thing every homer fan does - choose to pay attention only to the positive signs and eye-popping plays, and ignore anything concerning.

2 Bears in the top 7. Not bad for not having a 1st round pick.

Speaking of Robinson (and a few Brisker moments too).

I like how he points out the holds, which happen on every play and refs just call them at their leisure. But this fellow is like hmmmm isn’t that holding?

 

Why yes. Yes it is.

If you have an hour to waste his A22 OLine breakdown was pretty good too.

For fun, I looked up if an Eberflus defense had ever faced Rodgers. Sure enough, in November 2020. In Indy. They gave up 31 points, but did intercept Rodgers once and recovered two fumbles. The Colts won 34-31 in OT.

his analysis is believable, I can't deny that. but if you close your eyes to the video, it's easy to think he's talking about soccer. I guess I'm not up to speed with how popular the NFL is in England..or English....or for ex-patriot British living in the US

 

 

also...anyone else nervous for tonight? I desperately want the Bears to win this

Anectodally, a Bears message board I post on has two or three long time Brits who became Bears fans in the 80s. I think it's always had its niche for fans, but the access to tape and info allows a very dedicated person to close the technical knowledge gap in the past decade (in a way a 80s or 90s English person couldn't).

[minnesotacubsfan]

That was horseshit

I get it. I don't disagree with anything he's presenting, his accent just threw me for a loop

[David]

Nice stand by the defense

[UK]

Bears will need better pressure from the front 4 to make this a game.

No, they need the O to put up points. GB doesn't have a WR to speak of

[minnesotacubsfan]

HAHAHAHAHA

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This feels so winnable unless Rodgers does some elite QB horsefeathery.

[UK]

Great job by the offensive line.

[Bertz]

 

Awesome drive. That flea flicker deal especially was real fun.
