    I'm absolutely not upset about the playcalling down the stretch - if the Patriots can't stop the run game, you keep running. But its a shame that Fields doesn't get another opportunity to throw this half.
  2. BigSlick
    Pretty impressive game for the coaching staff. They made some real good adjustments, the designed runs by Fields have been real smart. The playcalling in general has been flexible and unpredictable. Defense has played hard. Aside from those two drives when Bailey Zappe came in, they've done well. Fields has been good on the whole. A handful of bad plays here and there but on the whole, real good work.

    Perhaps the most embarrassing stat of all was the image that showed the Bears haven't had 10+ 3rd down conversions since 2015

    Santos has been really really good this year
  5. BigSlick
    Actual smart football there by the Bears t run a play so fast after a questionable catch On review he had it.
  6. BigSlick
    I shouldn't say anything, because I know I will jinx the whole thing - but this is the best the Bears have looked all season

    ?????? ????

    Oh I see, so after something good is allowed to happen, everything bad has to happen immediately. I see how things are.
  9. BigSlick
    These designed runs for Fields are really effective and he doesn't get hit too bad on em
  10. BigSlick
    ? How can someone be that wide open?
  11. BigSlick
    uhhh well that was an awful series for Fields
  12. BigSlick
    OH MY GOD THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST INTERCEPTIONS I'VE EVER SEEN
  13. BigSlick
    you love to see it

    If the Patriots keep only rushing 3, and the Line protects like this, Fields is gonna break the 200 yard barrier
  15. BigSlick
    STOP TOSSING THE BALL
  16. BigSlick
    wow the patriots really dont look super good (so far)
  17. BigSlick
    stop tossing the ball Overall, not an embarrassing start to the game. This kind of mudder game seems to play well to Fields' strengths. And the O-line is holding, so far.
  18. BigSlick
    please dont be an embarrassment please dont be an embarrassment please dont be an embarrassment thats my only thought today

    The observation that the short passing game basically doesn't exist is my impression as well. The fact that the run game has also been pretty effective probably factors in - why even attempt 3-5 yard slants and such if you feel like you can get 4 yards on the regular? My anecdotal impression is that Fields is both inaccurate on these types of passes and the receivers are just complete crap. Short passing is where timing, position, accuracy are all paramount. There isn't chemistry between them, they aren't adjusting well to his ball (which is often all over the place) and they usually aren't getting up field or breaking tackles, which is necessary for that kind of offense (which is also.....just how offense is generated in the modern NFL). Basically we have a 1970s offense - no short passing game, run on 1st and 2nd down, and Fields attempts a 10+ yard pass on 3rd down. And he's shockingly good in those situations, given the circumstances!

    The Marion Barber doesn't go out of bounds loss hurts but I'm surprised the Falcons game from...2009 or 2010 or so they lost after taking the lead with like 20 seconds to go and the Falcons get in field goal range on like 1 play was pretty devastating. Regarding everything else : Trade any defensive player for value, get whatever you can. Trade down if you have a high pick, get as many picks as possible. This all seems eminently urgent to me. Its borderline criminal that they didn't do more to give Fields protection before this year. Utterly unfair to let him "develop" and experience under these conditions. Of course, it plays until typical Bears narrative that makes it more difficult to evaluate how good he actually is. The wheel turns and the story stays the same....

    I used to be all on team 'tank for better picks' but right now we're talking about the difference of 5 or 6 draft spots....which shouldn't be a make or break for putting together a roster. The team is gonna have a top 10 pick regardless. I care less about where they pick than having confidence they know where they're weak on the roster and what talent can help them. And I'm not feeling....overly confident right now.

    Peyton Manning was also dogged for his supposed playoff 'ineptitude' before he took one down (with some thanks to the Bears) and then another with the Broncos. I dunno, there's no way to settle these arguments without relying a little bit on subjectivity and perception, and I know when I watch Rodgers I'm watching one of the greats (he also happens to be a whiny baby but that shouldn't factor in, in my mind)
  23. BigSlick
    i mean he's still one of the greatest qbs of all time and that'll never be taken away from him but its about time he goes away forever its only fair that green bay now suffers 30 years of pain and irrelevance, like we have (will that happen? of course not, even if they have a tough season this year they'll magically acquire and develop the next greatest QB of all time)
  24. BigSlick
    Oh my god are the Packers finally Bad? Of course if they are, it would happen in a year where the Bears are in full collapse mode. Still, would be nice if they were Bad and were Bad for a prolonged period of time
  25. BigSlick
    His average time to throw will be 5.5 seconds instead of 3.5 seconds. He generally looks pretty good when he has protection I'm not jumping on this bandwagon
