Slow in processing progressions, have trouble recognizing and beating blitzes, missing NFL open receivers.
-
Given he's never been able to take advantage of teams blitzing he probably will fail. The most frustrating aspect is I'm certain the Vikings are going to leave all kinds of openings that any kind of a competent NFL QB would torch.
-
Fields is a more athletic, smarter version of Trubisky otherwise, they're pretty closely aligned in where their games are flawed.
-
This game will be a big test, if isn't overwhelmed by the blitzes and instead exploits them and lights up the Vikings. Then, maybe, we have something good going.
-
As the play was in process and taking a look at the replay I was wondering how Fields could not have seen Wright getting beat. It had to be in his vision range, yet, he stands there, no attempt to move up in the pocket, nothing.
-
I'm fine with letting someone else pay Jaylon, he's very good, and it'll be a big loss. However, he's not as good as he thinks, look no further than last game, a top corner grabs that pick-six.
-
There's absolutely no empirical evidence Uberfail will improve with an improved roster. In fact there's evidence to the contrary, he has an improved roster this year and yet, they remain terrible. Other than some silliness about continuity or some other BS Bears policy there's no justification for keeping him.
-
Checking out some of the film analysis it's hard not to be a little encouraged by the OL's improved play. Nate Davis, when he plays, has actually been a successful Poles FA pickup. Adding a solid center plus one of Alt or Fashanu will make this OL amongst the best in the NFC North. If Fields is able deal with the blitzes, not be overwhelmed, they're going to gash the Vikings on Monday. I also do not think the Browns defense is going to completely dominate this OL, in fact, wouldn't be surprised if the Bears managed to do well in that game.
-
There's always the excellent, if not probable, chance that Fields plays well, Bears score plenty but, Eberflus and Getsy find a way to piss the game away late.
-
Fields is way to scared of doing something wrong to ever be that confident. I agree though at some point with Fields its got to be horsefeathers these schmucks I'm going for it.
-
Fields aside without question they've under performed, yes it's not a playoff caliber roster. But it's also not 3 - 8 bad, should be 5-6 or 6-5 around .500. The coaching or lack there of, is this team' biggest handicap.
-
I know, just saying if they could manage some chaos this game, the turnovers will come.
-
Probably, however, this one game where the Bears should be blitz heavy, which they won't. They'll just sit back in their passive zone, with little to no QB pressure, allowing easy completions, making Dobbs look good.
-
If the Bears can flip the script on them and bring pressure against Dobbs they'll generate several turnovers. Say what you about Fields but, Dobbs is worse by a significant margin.
-
What lost them the game is Eberflus, for some unbeknownst reason, allowing the Lions to make it a one score game in 76 seconds. Everyone is showering the Lions with praise when the truth is they did nothing special, it was all the Bears giving it to them.
-
On more than one occasion he came in late, head first, on Fields' slides.
-
Jaylon Johnson needs to STFU about being paid like a top corner in the NFL. Top corners make that pick-6 Goff offered up 10 out of 10 times, no excuses.
-
Also, that Lions LB - 34 - Anzalone was literally headhunting on every Fields' scramble or designed run. He was targeting often times, right in front of the officials and not a thing was flagged, I don't know why.
-
Posted in the Lions thread about seeing if Fields learned anything from the last game against the Vikings. I'm certain they're going to come after him with reckless abandon, if Fields can be remotely competent at recognizing the blitz. He should be able to easily exploit the holes the Vikings are going leave and have a big day.
-
Thought the OL played well, if they can remain intact they'll improve. It'll be interesting to see if Fields learned anything from the last game against the Vikings. I'm certain the Vikings, assuming Fields doesn't know how or can't beat a blitz, will come with all sorts of blitzes. Blitzes that'll leave the field wide open, daring the Bears to take advantage.
-
Most of the blame is the prior front office, Pace drafted essentially the same QB twice. I think the current front office and coaching staff had a pretty good idea of Fields' flaws, yet, they chose to give it shot and roll the dice with him. Moreover, I believe Poles was not enamored enough of any this years' QB's to pick one over Fields. Next year is a different story, if they're in a draft position to get Maye, Fields is gone.
-
Play okay to good vs. Detroit and Cleveland, tear it up against the remaining opponents.
-
If Fields somehow manages to ball out these remaining games does anyone think Poles might be able to get a 2nd rounder for him?
-
If that's true then, he's as dumb as Mitch perhaps, more so, all you've got to do is count and it's not even to 10. 1,2,3,4,5 vs 1,2,3,4,5,6 how the horsefeathers is this soo puzzling?
-
As stated earlier he's 100% paralyzed by the fear of doing something wrong. If you put the above film in front of Fields I firmly believe he'd instantly recognize where the blitz is coming from. And either check-down or, on the option, he'd fake the pitch, keep and go to the right.
