Bears Week 7 @ Patriots, Monday Night Football 10/24

I haven't heard/seen Jaylon Johnson much over the last 2 games. I can only assume that this is because teams are still not throwing his direction much? If Eddie Jackson doesn't regress to 2019-2021 version and Kyler Gordon keeps improving this secondary has a chance to be one of the true elite units in the league.

Johnson was the defender on one of the td throws last night. But he wasn't really beaten on the play. It was just a perfectly thrown ball that Johnson missed by inches and hit the receiver right in the hands.

he also had initial coverage on the other TD. But he passed on coverage as if it were a zone and everyone else looked to be playing man.

That was horsefeathering fun last night. Fields still has a long way to go but it feels like so many people still fail to acknowledge this is only his 2nd season in the league and he has been given very little help. Put some weapons around him and players that can actually block in front of him and with more experience I think he can be a Pro Bowl caliber player on a regular basis. That would easily make him the best Bears QB ever.

Yeah and it was actually just his 17th start. With how our offense is set up, we should find consistent success with a game plan similar to what we saw last night with the Greg Roman/heavy designed runs for Fields and constant motion in the background to create confusion. Our line is well suited for that type of attack. And his passing game will thrive off of that as well.

Add in that it's a different OC from last season as well. Always frustrated me how much was expected of him around here based on the circumstances. I'm not saying everything has to be roses & unicorn farts but it's like he was expected to be MVP Rodgers this season when A-A-ron himself is struggling in a better situation right now.

I think like 2-3 legit surrounding pieces on O and we could have expected more from him.

 

Even on the games he's looked decent now there are some material issues you still want to see addressed, but it's still tough to figure out how much is just because of a horsefeathers cast around him.

 

Like right now his best case scenario for 2022 feels like being an A runner and C passer. With a little more talent, could we have had a B passer? And is that development just being paused or possibly regressing (on some metrics you can probably argue regression based on the advanced stats data)

 

So his development is doing something the last few weeks, but it feels to me making lemonade of lemons scenario.

If someone N'Keal Harry can turn into a solid option alongside Mooney we still need a true #1 WR. I am not a fan of Kmet so I'd like a playmaker at TE. Cole can be a serviceable backup. And we probably need at least 3 new guys on the OL if not 4.

Lamar ran for 107 yards against the Pats in Week 3. Multiple patriots players said the Bears were running the same stuff the Ravens were. Great of Eberflus to recognize and take advantage. I guess the question is why the Patriots were not better prepared, unless they just don't have the scheme/talent to stop it.

how could they have predicted that the Bears coaching staff would emulate the Ravens when they've failed to do anything like that the entire season?

I mentioned early in this thread that the Pats have had trouble with running QBs, and pointed out that 107 yard game as my only example. But I do believe it's historically a thing too for Belichick defenses. My thinking is that the Pats team speed, specifically at LB, is below average. They don't have guys that can really spy a guy like Fields or Jackson without getting run by. Bill seems unwilling to go big nickel or dime either to have a safety spying the QB.

 

Edit: yeah their LBs are 260 & 250 lbs respectively and both ran over 4.75 at the combine. Patriots have historically had big ILBs.

There's different levels of struggling. Rodgers struggling throws for 190, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. Something Fields has still never done.

 

Something last night, where he did a little in the passing game and a little in the running game, is more than enough to get him effusively praised, he just couldn't do it before last night.

Full PFF grades

I stuck with the regular broadcast yesterday so just seeing this. Peyton geeking out over the Bears play call and Fields execution on the TD to Herbert.

Fields watched the Ravens offense and then asked, “May I please have a Mark Andrews?”
