We just tried on third down. Hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop run for 4 yards.

Protects his QB rating or whatever stat people will cite after the game, but does nothing for the team.

So I assume you know someone was open then?

He's making Fields play like Bagent, it doesn't make sense. You can occasionally go down the field, not everything needs be a quick out.

Literally how.  Are you going to ask the Vikings politely to not blitz and let a deep route develop?

It doesn't have to be a deep route, even a 10-15 yard route is fine to keep the guys off the line.

I get that Eberflus and Getsy are trying to save their jobs but this does nothing for the future of the Bears to not run an offense that attempts to suit Fields’ abilities. We need to know if we’re drafting QB or sticking with Fields and throwing WR screens all night does not help at all.

I'm sure no one was, just like every other time he's done it in his career.

So you don't know, you just decided to call him out with you knowing.

We've tried a few of those on third downs.  Fields has missed two open receivers and we just talked abotu the third.

Bears killing the Vikings on total yards and have 2 turnovers and at best they’re going to be tied at halftime most likely.  Good coaching

This is literally the only offense I can conceive of running with Fields' abilities against this defense.

They're going to blitz.  They're going to blitz all night.  There are two primary ways to beat the blitz: hot throws and screens.   Blitz-beating hot throws have been a known weakness of Fields since his college scouting reports.  Calling them would not suit Fields' abilities. 

We've tried a couple of rollouts to get him out of the pocket, which is something people call for a lot, and nobody is open because those plays are make life easier on the defense.

Either you know or you don't.

I know that I see NFL QBs make plays every week where they find receivers to throw to even against good coverage. I know that Justin Fields has made a career out of failing to find those throws in important situations, and I know that he failed again in that one.

I know that I've seen every variation of "well, theoretically we could come up with some way where it's many other people's fault that things wrong even though it seems like Fields failed" and I remain unimpressed by them.

So once again, on that play you don't know.

Acting as if he knows things he doesn't (or otherwise feigning expertise) is Kyle's entire schtick. Or he's just trying to get people's goats, but it's pretty tedious either way.

Not sure why you all even humor him.

Ooooooh, the big mean man said a *bad thing* about a *football play* in the *football thread*. oooooooooooh, he's such a troll.

The only thing more predictable than this is when bukie shows up after we lose looking for someone to yell at.

I'm going to hold you to this standard in the future. 

If I don't know, I'll say I don't know. I wont spend the last 15 minutes talking around it.

fields definitely left some plays out there by holding too long and he took huge shots too 

but getsy should be able to dial up something that completely out leverages the Vikings for a huge gain with the TOP advantage

Well, there's no way you could have known what you were suggesting based on what we saw. You *were* just feeding your own narrative based on an assumption. 

I don't have a real horse in the race, I barely care either way, but as an observer of these threads it's pretty clear you have a strong bias, and your input is as predictable as anything. But hey, you do you, I guess.

Hold every poster in this thread to this standard.  Don't let anyone comment on any play unless they give you their professional football credentials and a five-minute breakdown of the all-22.

You won't, because this has nothing to do with anything you said. What actually happens is I rub people the wrong way because I call what I see and dont'filter it through a pro-Bears bias, and this is how people react to such annoyance.
