The autumn wind is a raider, and it’s favored by 3

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm not saying we have to start Bagent even if Fields is healthy, but thinking it might happen feels like less of a meme than it did.

NE is about to to be 1-6, they had Jimmy G at QB who while not good is miles better than Hoyer, and the game was in LV.  Still a pretty depressing team. 

I think it’s more indicative of how many bad teams are in the NFL right now

Raiders taking their timeouts to extend the game is odd when they're down 8 possessions like they are now.

162 passing yards and everyone is excited.

Well to be fair, he led the team to such a resounding victory that he had very little chance to throw in the second half and pad his stats.

But I think I'm more excited that he proved that many of the other pieces of the team are adequate and being held back by QB play.

The problem is, who is the QB then? Williams just doesn't look the part of the elite QB people are claiming he is. Maye strikes me as a good, not great QB prospect. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why not let the guy be on the field to take the knee to finish his first career win? What does putting Peterman in there accomplish?

You draft one and hope for the best.  That's life in the NFL without a good QB, it sucks but that's what you have to do.

[UMFan83]

Bagent pulls to within 5 wins of Fields for career wins a a starter lol

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Now, it's just one game.  He will have games where they fall behind and he'll be forced to throw downfield.  Teams will identify what he's doing and try to take it away.

But if he does something similar the next game or two while Fields is hurt, I don't know how you can look the locker room in the eye and tell them that Fields is going back in, sorry about your sack totals and reception numbers guys.

1-5 NE beats the Bills and the 1-5 Giants beat the Commanders. Damage to the Bears' draft pick is limited. 

[bukie]

The Bears schedule will continue to be pillow soft, as their only remaining games against winning teams will be against the Lions.

They're 2-5 with the 4th worst record in the NFL, but still have a feasible path to a playoff spot in the NFC if they can beat the bad teams on their schedule. They won't beat out the 49ers, Eagles, Lions or Cowboys, but there are still 2 wildcard spots up for grabs in a conference where at least half the conference seems to be trying to be terrible.

[Cubfanintheknow]

Gotta admit... Eberflus and Getsy coached the hell out of Bagent. Had a good game plan for him to succeed and it worked.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Career starts with 0 INTs and <2 sacks

Tyson Bagent: 1

Justin Fields: 0

Correction, the Browns converted on 4th and goal from the 1, so they are also a winning team as of now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

There were so many times Bagent checked to a run at the line and it worked perfectly that the TV announcers started commenting on it 

[bukie]

Denver and Arizona both off to good starts in their games, such that the Bears could still end the day with the #2 pick.

Denver beats the Packers, so the Bears are 3rd now. And a game out of an NFC playoff spot.

Well, Fields is out for at least one more game, so there's no controversy next week.

But if Bagent goes out and does something similar, I think so.  I don't know how you look your offensive line in the eye and say "you know that guy who causes you to give up 4 sacks a week on average? We're going back to him."  Or the same thing with the receiving room and only targetting about 2 different receivers per game.
