Justin Fields played ok.  Maybe even bordering on good.

But he's just never going to be the guy who wins you the game in the 4th quarter.

Not with Goatse calling plays like a bitch.

So you wanted another weak ass run up the middle that gained one yard on the last two plays? horsefeathers that weak ass mindset. 

Oh no, you throw the ball on that 3rd down, but not all 3rd down throws are created equal. Even when a guy is streaking open down the field, throwing 30+ yards downfield is just always a bit dicier than something closer to the marker.

This is grade A horsefeathers.  This loss was on the coaching staff and you know it.

Wright getting destroyed despite holding was on Fields?

Thought he drifted directly into the pass rush, but on replay it's certainly mostly on Wright.

I don't know how to explain to Bears fans that there is more than one route on a play. I don't understand what they keep acting like they don't know that.

Deep balls are notoriously hard to complete.  Take the first down.

So you know for a fact someone else was wide open? You jackwagons want Fields to throw downfield more & be aggressive. Then when he does and the incompletion is on the WR you criticize him for that too.

Until you see an all 22 of that play you're talking out your ass.

a 105.2 passer rating and 104 rushing yards, if that's OK your expectations are completely unreasonable.

just "throw the hot route" and "take the first down" aren't magical elixirs that exist on every play either

[BigSlick]

Just like the Denver game. That’s a game that’s almost impossible to lose, and yet somehow you did it.

 

all you can hope is you get losses like this out of your system before 2024

He threw it to the open receiver in a spot that would have been in stride had he just kept running, and it's 6 points. 6 points is better than a first down, especially if that's the best option on the field.

I know you're doing your bit where you feel the need to be antagonistic for no reason and it's the most tired bit you do, but as per usual you deny the possibility of any positive just to be contrary.

That’s a hot sports take there. Shorter passes are a higher % play? Groundbreaking stuff.

Packers win, which is big for the Bears.

[Rex Buckingham]

Packers got a win because of an awful drop by the Chargers rookie 1st Round WR. 

[Tryptamine]

Giants win too

Nope. I just don't adjust my standards to try to be positive.  People who change their opinions based on what emotions they want to feel project that onto me that I must be the one doing it.

In the NFL, you will be in a lot of games where the ball is in the hands of your QB and you will win or lose based on what he chooses to do.  Fields made the wrong choice, as he has in essentially every such situation throughout his career.

It'll be a team loss that does absolutely nothing to move anyone's needles regarding Fields because his defenders will have plenty of ammunition for the rest of the team and coaching staff being bad, and his detractors will also have plenty of ammunition regarding his bad decision making and slow passing mechanics.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Sigh.

2022: Bears have a 24-10 lead with 11 mins left vs Lions at Soldier Field. Lions score 2 quick TDs in a span of 90 seconds to tie it. Fields has an amazing 67 yard run to give the Bears the lead but Santos misses the XP, Lions score late and win by 1

2020: Bears have a 30-20 lead with 3 mins left on the road against Detroit, give up 2 TD in a 90 second span and lose because Montgomery can’t pick up a 4th and inches from the Detroit 20 yard line. 
 

This is 3rd. 
 

At one point I had a long list of inexplicable losses over the last 20 years that was maybe 10 deep and included the 27 point Brady comeback in 2002, the Tebow game in 2011, and the 20 point collapse vs Rodgers in 2018

It wasn't the wrong choice. He made a perfect throw that should have hit his WR in stride.

You can't possibly say he made the wrong choice with certainty at this point.  He threw a great ball to the right spot and his receiver let him down.

How is it the wrong choice when it's to an open receiver and perfectly thrown? By the way, point out to me this wide open other receiver that's getting them this supposedly easy 1st down.

if you go into player settings and toggle the y button to "take the first down" it's an easy first down every single time wake up sheeple

The odds of completing that throw are low *because* of things like the WR not adjusting properly. This isn't some mysterious thing that never ever happens on deep balls except this one time.

My bad. Justin Fields did everything and it's *definitely* never his fault.

That's how I know you know I'm right. Because you're resorting to stuff like that because handling your emotions like an adult is hard.
