Bears Week 6 vs Vikings, Noon CT, FOX

[We Got The Whole 9]

I'm thinking your don't trade the pick 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ok so maybe the deep ball isn't his thing 

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a crap throw. He can't be trying passes like that.

[SpongeWorthy]

that was a dead duck but another dog horsefeathers snap too

[Tryptamine]

And thus dies the legend of Bagent

[Hairyducked Idiot]

What Bagent is:  A perfect test case for showing why Fields has very specific flaws that make the rest of the offense look way worse than it is.

What Bagent is not: An actually good QB

[UMFan83]

Some good stuff from Bagent but did it not feel a little Hanie like?  Opponent not prepared for them, got the ball moving with some easy completions and runs, led them on a TD drive but 2 killer mistakes, one for a defensive TD and one late in the game driving for the tying/winning score

It feels like the ball slipped out of his hands. His arm looked like it was preparing for a longer throw and it looked strange coming out. Possibly also anticipated the hit that was coming and it took something off the throw

to me because of the snap he was never reading the defense and was going deep no matter what if the protection was good

Almost certainly not but like many of us have said there’s like a 0.1% chance he is something and nothing I saw today suggests that it goes down to 0.0%, if anything it went up to 0.5%

[We Got The Whole 9]

So if he had been able to get that ball to the back of the end zone it might have been a 50/50 chance of a score

I don't think so, I think it just slipped out of his hands. I wanna say it was the right read and decision, but that's some real "other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?" energy.  

[gflore34]

Didn't see the game but, from some of the comments reads like the same old, same old with Fields?  Holding on to the ball too long, being fooled by defense, etc.

Yeah just watched it again. We watched the 2nd half in a bar, wasn't paying much attention honestly.

Not completely. They were getting absolutely destroyed by the blitz.  A good QB can neutralize the blitz with quick hits, and Fields did absolutely zero of that, but he didn't have a chance to do his full hop-hop-hop most of the time.

Then came one key play where they showed heavy blitz but dropped into a full protection, fooled the crap outta fields and he froze his hop hop hop and took a hit where he got hurt.

guess we shouldn’t expect the pass rush to get better for next week.  Every team has injuries but it feels like the Bears are always ravaged by injuries to the thinnest parts of our team 

[BigSlick]

Everything’s been said but weirdly the thing that bothers me the most are the bad snaps. It’s game 6 of a professional football season and I think a majority of the snaps were off in some way. How does that even happen??

[Outshined_One]

I see we're back on track for 1-2 in the 2024 Draft.

I still think we have the potential to play ourselves into a few tank-killing wins, but I don't see how Carolina doesn't finish bottom 3 minimum.

Fields dislocated thumb. Tried to pop it back in and play but couldn't grip ball.  MRI tomorrow.

Doesn’t sound like something he’ll be able to play with anytime soon depending on the severity. Completely guessing here but maybe 3 weeks as a best case scenario?  Maybe I’m way off and shouldn’t be completely guessing

Raiders went from 1 point favorites to 3. I would think he would miss a couple weeks.  I thought maybe the injury was more severe like a broken wrist

Didn’t Jay Cutler miss like 2 months with a dislocated thumb?  I’m guessing we really don’t know the severity until the MRI.

Oh yes, and that 2011 team was on the verge of great things.  7-3 and rolling along, Cutler decides to make a tackle on an interception

That was so weird. I thought towards the end of that game that the bears were the best team in the NFC. Like you said rolling along. Figured even if Hanie sucked we just needed to go like 2-4 to lock up a playoff spot and get Cutler back.  On top of that their remaining schedule was atrocious. Pissed off that we couldn’t find a way to win 2 games. Damn you Marion Barber (also RIP)

 

edit: I guess they would have needed 3 wins since the 6 seed was the 10-6 falcons who we beat head to head. But still, lose 10-3 to the Chiefs on a Hail Mary, lost the Tebow game we were 98% locks in, there’s your 10-6.  Those later Lovie teams were designed to find painful ways to barely miss the playoffs
