    I mean, shouldn't we, who watched the game, feel the same way? Fields had <50% completion percentage and under 150 yards net passing. The running game was nonexistent, and whenever they tried to run the ball it got blown up in the backfield. It was a disaster. They punted on their first 4 possessions. We were 4 of 18 on 3rd down. None of this is acceptable for a pro team, even facing the best defense in the league.

    I’m with your mindset pretty much entirely. I like Fields a lot. I root for him every game. It’s only because of the exceptional situation we’re in with the Panthers pick that I think you have to move on from Fields. If we didn’t have it, I think you pick up his option and try to build the offense around him. And he has fatal flaws, flaws he may never be able to overcome to be elite (lol), but with another couple weapons and a bad ass OLine, he’s a dude you can win with. but you have a top 1 or 2 pick in a class stacked with QB prospects. And I think you just gotta move on.

    I'm done with Mooney but it has less to do with the Hail Mary drop (which is a bit of an insult to injury - that's just an insanely hard thing to do with all the bodies flying around) - and more the whole body of work this season. Lollygagging routes, not coming back to the ball, drops, weak blocking. I dunno what it is, but it's not working this year.

    I think there's approximately a 0% chance Luke Getsy returns Higher chance that Eberflus does, but if he does, he won't be coaching the offense anyway

    Yeah I'm pretty firmly in the "draft Williams/Maye" camp after yesterday, and I'm not sure there's much Fields can do in the last 3 games to change my mind. I had heard that scouts were somewhat alert to Fields's downsides before the draft, so I looked up some old scouting reports. This I found pretty interesting (via https://www.nfl.com/prospects/justin-fields/32004649-4576-9504-963d-c33127e80752) : Welp.

    I don't know how many snaps DJ Moore played yesterday but he was clearly banged up, and it was very clear that whenever he wasn't on the field, Fields was much less productive. (Moore and Mooney were both targeted 8 times, Moore caught 4, Mooney 2). Now, Moore is a transcendent player, but also, your starting QB can't be that helpless when he's off the field.

    This season has had 3 of the worst losses I've ever seen the Bears commit. It's superstitious but I truly hope they're "getting them out of their system" and when they're competitive again (god willing, like, next season) we don't see anything like this again.
  8. BigSlick
    They’re gonna have at worst the #2 overall… where are they gonna trade up to? Last years draft?

    *bursts through the door, starts rubbing hands together* alright who's got tape for me to watch
  10. BigSlick
    I wonder how the front office feels if Mooney comes up with the TD there. You win...but Fields looks pretty blah and the coaching almost conspired to lose the game. Lol. I guess it's not a dilemma though, in this universe.
  11. BigSlick
    Whacky game aside, the Bears win this one going away if they do anything offensively and they really don't. The offensive coaching was horrific, and of course it's not easy if your offensive line is being chomped up, but it was very bad. And Fields was bad. Yes, his receivers dropped a few balls, but you can't sacrifice so many drives and get nothing. You can't have this much offensive dysfunction. Enough already.

    Dude Mooney Lmao what how does he have such an amazingly bad game
  13. BigSlick
    Just try a 62 yard field goal
  14. BigSlick
    I’m pretty zen about losing this because I think this clarifies that you need a new coaching staff and Fields is not good enough to commit to. but, there’s a lot of talent on this team and it’s trending in a good direction.

    What is that toss pay on first down that hasn’t worked all day. Why are you calling that play
  16. BigSlick
    Hmmm that slow developing pass play was a bad idea on 2nd and 7 still seemed like Fields saw the rush coming and just…took it
  17. BigSlick
    I just want to say, smugly, that I’ve always been a Tyrique Stevenson Defender and I’m very happy to see him ball out
  18. BigSlick
    Uh well that sucks
  19. BigSlick
    Wow I thought Fields had that easy
  20. BigSlick
    Gill routinely kicks short and our return game is mediocre at best
  21. BigSlick
    This punt returner has always sucked. I refuse to learn his name
  22. BigSlick
    Ok these designed runs aren’t working and they’re going to get Fields killed, so let’s stop with them now
  23. BigSlick
    My only concern is that he’s gonna be 27 next year and one wonders how long you can expect him to play at this level, but special D Ends often can have long careers if health abides
  24. BigSlick
    Sweat is such a beast. It’s been a steal to get him for a 2nd
  25. BigSlick
    Pretty good drive from Fields there dont mind the 3rd and 7 throw - ball came out fast, there was good coverage
