  1. Watching this team is the closest I’ve come to seeing Madden style video game football on screen
  2. Oh my god they’re gonna lose because of this extra point arent they
  3. This is insane. I’m not mad at Firlds, I can’t be. These refs are out of control
  4. STOP IT STOP THROWING FLAGS
  5. Cheaters, liars, actors I’m tired of this horsefeathers
  6. STOP THE REFS STOP THEM STOP LETTING THEM THROW FLAGS
  7. Ok that was a really stupid penalty that you can’t blame on the refs
  8. The refs have been HORRIBLY BIASED against the bears today
  9. That should be a defensive pass interference…
  10. I stand by Fields needing/wanting a good handsy Tight End, it’s just that Kmet may be that guy??
  11. It’s obviously early but I’m willing to say Luke Getsy is the best offensive coordinator Chicago has ever had
  12. Kmet is having the best 2-3 weeks of his career
  13. Lol these commentators: “Fields checks down to Kmet” Uhhh it was a designed tight end screen? Lmao
  14. If the defense can get 2 stops in this second half the Bears win I’m not positive they’re capable of that. Edit: love to be wrong. Why would you ever run 3 times in a row against this defense
  15. Fields is a star man
  16. Put these refs in a gulag for 1,000 years
  17. I mean this quite seriously: this defense may only force single digit punts for the rest of the season *combined* If you’re defense is that bad you have to take more risks offensively
  18. I am going full meatball: the Refs are biased against the Bears Let Fields throw here, but also, if you get 6-7 yards, go for it on 4th down. Limit your punts, the defense cannot do anything
  19. One must operate from the assumption that opposing offenses will score on every drive they have the ball but it’s still painful to watch
  20. My only trepidation with all the positivity and excitement from the media with Fields is now it feels like they're going to set people's expectations too high and when he has a bad game or two (which is inevitable) people will flip all the more on him. But whatever, I don't think anything super bad is gonna happen. Keep building off positive experiences and develop.
  21. I'd like to see a win as well, and I don't think it will jeopardize the draft position too much. You gotta learn how to win a little bit and you gotta keep the players motivated, and it would be fun to give Fields a reason to celebrate a bit more.
  22. I just re-watched the highlights and the difference between the Eddie Jackson "PI" call and the non-call for Claypool is absolutely wild. And there was a reff RIGHT THERE on the play. I will say it....it was not an impossible catch for Claypool. It would have been a very very difficult one, but he did have his hands on it, despite the flagrant interference. It's the kind of thing that makes people get conspiratorial but it's really just inconsistent incompetence.
  23. Yeah I think its wrong to say the offense almost doesn't need to be upgraded. Yes, they can absolutely move the ball and score effectively with this offense, but it puts Fields at much more physical risk and it makes it very hard to come back if you're behind late. This is a very ball control offense, lots of runs, lots of 6+ minute long drives. That's great if you're ahead, its less good if you're behind. I expect for the rest of the season they're gonna continue with some variation of this offense and thats good and appropriate. But a more dynamic offense is possible. One thats more sustainable and maintains Fields' health and doesn't rely entirely on his out-of-this-world athleticism, which wont last forever. If he runs this effectively he's bought himself a few years to fine tweak his passing, which is great.
  24. At this point the only game I really care about winning is that Packers game at home. They need to find a way to win that, lol
  25. Fields wasnt fantastic in the last two drives, but he had that deep ball where it needed to be and the refs missed an obvious call and St Brown missed a routine catch. He’s balling. It would be nice if he didn’t rely on his feet so much, but they’re giving it to him and he’s athletic enough to do it. Can’t be mad about that.
