Bears Week 6 vs Vikings, Noon CT, FOX

[UMFan83]

This is an issue with fields being the QB going forward. Get some pressure on him and he stops seeing the field, starts taking off early or does the deer in headlights thing and gets sacked. 
 

sobering reminder of what we have

He was making the right throw there. He had Moore 1 on 1 going towards the back of the end zone. If Evans gives him any kind of actual block he gets that throw off.

Yeah not picking on that specific play but just in general. Feels like he’s going back to the mode where he’s anticipating pressure and missing targets downfield. Granted if the line could block for him it would be different but lots of QBs can play well with pass blocking 

[UMFan83]

Deflating INT in FG range and the defense has their worst drive of the game and the Vikings will have a 6 point lead and the ball to start the 3rd.

I truly hate zone defense

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm really not looking forward to a week of arguing that fields had no chance and nothing was his fault.  Him being awesome or terrible would either be preferable.

[UMFan83]

Looks like Eddie Jackson is already hurt again 

[UMFan83]

Pressure is getting to him

[UMFan83]

Bagent time?

I mean he needs to throw the horsefeathers ball 

otoh maybe he couldn’t because his shoulder or elbow is messed up which doesn’t reflect well on the coaches being on top of the details 

[UMFan83]

Fields is heading to the locker room

[SpongeWorthy]

ah he got hurt on the (most) recent play where he held the ball for a horsefeathers eternity I thought it might have been on the scramble when hunter tackled him

That’s what I mean about pressure getting to him. He’s getting indecisive and which is what seems to happen when he’s under frequent pressure 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

They fooled him bad showing blitz and then dropping back, and he went back to his old "hop hop hop hop" mode.

He's never played a full, healthy season and with his playstyle he may never. Worth including as a factor in considering his future.

Ugh what a shame game for Fields 

[We Got The Whole 9]

At least the Panthers keep sucking. Poles has quite a decision to make.

Saw lots of good stuff from fields the last 2 weeks but also reminded that he was playing 2 of the 5 worst defenses in the league and the line was able to block for him.

[SpongeWorthy]

someone needs to tell Justin an arm punt is an acceptable play on third down

They're going full scorched-earth fire sale in the next few weeks. Hard to imagine that pick isn't a strong favorite to be 10A.

Welcome to the NFL Tyler 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bad snap plus no protection... Not a great combination.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

ok never mind. welcome to the nfl kid

[SpongeWorthy]

well we probably don’t have to worry about bagent becoming a folk hero for middling play  at least 

[UMFan83]

670 hosts are devastated. Was going to be their Super Bowl tomorrow morning if Bagent immediately drove them to a TD
