Is Justin Fields elite? Bears @ Browns Sunday at noon

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He got a gimme TD drive from the turnover to balance out the bomb drop, and he got a hail Mary INT to balance out the dropped INTs earlier. Seems karmically fair to me.

12-for-21, 101 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT, 2 rushing yards, 1 fumble

This is the exact sort of football I worried Poles was building toward since his first day-1 draft.  But at least we're getting a good version of it, it's more fun to watch than going 3-14.

Your ability to completely ignore things that are inconvenient to your narrative is really impressive.

If Eberflus is fired, chalk this type of decision up. Tight game with little offense you have to attempt that FG. 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

how long would the attempt have been?

[UMFan83]

I hate when hail mary’s are intercepted but the browns dropped like 3 INTs that half so I guess it’s fair

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I did think Fields looked low-key adequate getting the drive to that point.

would have been 55, and with the conditions i'm not sure Santos would have had a good shot... the issue is the playcalling prior to the last play, just nibbling instead of a real effort to move the ball

if ESPN is to be believed, the Bears were on the 37 so a 54 yard attempt.

Yeah, not using the middle of the field with TOs left was bad.

[SpongeWorthy]

getsy was dialing up deep shots after that moore 20 yard gain

3 points is big in a game like this, they needed one more intermediate throw that the browns were likely conceding  the middle to get comfortably in santos range

 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yeah I think I probably would have kicked it there but that's a situation that ends in the same result 98% of the time and people will focus on it too much, leading to the feeling that coaching is more important than it is.

Lucas Patrick suuuuuuucks

[Tryptamine]

Lucas Patrick just embarrassed himself

[Tryptamine]

How was that not offsides?

[UMFan83]

I know the Browns have a great defense but damn this is the worst performance I’ve seen by the oline in awhile

[BigSlick]

Jesus. I guess we can’t run today 

[Rex Buckingham]

Fields is getting pounded

[bukie]

That was such obvious offsides that the Bears assumed it was a free play.

[UMFan83]

Can’t believe I’m saying this but against a pass rush that’s dominating out line I’m really surprised Getsy isn’t calling any screens

[BigSlick]

That was absolutely an offsides but whatever I guess 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Lucas patrick does suck but he had zero chance on that play

[mul21]

Patrick is just a turnstile.

my post was about the first one... agree that the 2nd wasn't on him at all
