Bears week 4: At Giants Sunday at noon on Fox
BigSlick replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Incredible. Absolutely not blaming Fields for this completely, but this is not acceptable for a pro team, even the worst team in the league. -
Bears week 4: At Giants Sunday at noon on Fox

The talent on the team is bad and the coaching is outrageously conservative but I don't think we need to sugarcoat it: Fields is playing very poorly and not getting better (and in some aspects, getting worse) You can evaluate a player while acknowledging the poor talent around him. His footwork has gotten worse, his accuracy has gotten worse, he's doing a lot of three quarter arm angle throws for some reason, he's not confidently finding people downfield, he's stepping into pressure, he's making all sorts of mistakes. It's obvious if you're watching. Not calling him a bust yet and I think it makes sense to just give him the keys to the car and let him play out the rest of the season, but woof. It's bad out there. -

Alright I’m throwing the towel in on Fields. Woof. -

Losing Montgomery is a real blow. I love Herbert but I don't think he can take a full load the way Montgomery could, and Ebner did not impress me. I would love to see Fields get 20+ pass attempts. Wonder if we can achieve that on Sunday. -
I like the all navy blue uniforms but they are genuinely cursed and they lose like every time they wear them. Their regulation uniforms are very good. Most of the alternates are pretty weak.
-
No, he’s not putting on the worst performance of any QB expecting to be good. As said, Bad Rex was significantly worse. Bad Cutler was worse too, for that matter. Bad Orton (not the same expectations but he finished with a respectable career) was worse. He’s been bad and he’s trending worse, but we also have to have our bearings because it’s been two weeks. Settle down.
-
Well it’s good that he has a pretty good attitude about it. Still not feeling super enthused though.
-
Yeah I’ve never ever felt bad about a win before but this is probably the worst I’ve felt after one. Completely uninspiring, Fields looks like he took a step back, we’re not in the running for anything, coaching staff being horrifically conservative. Not great.
-
Yuuuup they’re definitely gonna lose this game So they played ultra conservatively to maximize winning and they’re STILL gonna lose lmao
-
12 play, 6 minute drive for zero points lmao
-
This is exactly the kinda game the Bears lose here
-
Why is our kick returner really slow
-
YOU CANT RUN IT ON 3RD AND SIX. YOURE NOT ALLOWED. I DONT CARE HOW MUCH FIELDS SUCKS TODAY
-
I just hope the Bears don’t embarrass me today. Let Justin Fields cook.
-
Punished Lovie Just need to get him an eye-patch
-
Listen, I don't know if it would have made sense to have Lovie Smith continue on as head coach, but in retrospect its wild how we fired him after a 10-6 season where we narrowly missed the playoffs on some real fluke tie-breakers and a competitive field. Did we make a mistake? I have no idea. Lovie had some real blindspots as a coach, but his teams were always well-coached, disciplined, always had great defenses. I don't think we ever would have developed a great offense or QB under him. But we did make a Super Bowl and his tenure has been the sole bright spot since Ditka. Weird times. So I hope he gets cheers.
-
you have now spoken this into existence (i'd be ok with this outcome if there are no INTs honestly)
-
Do we think Eberflus and Poles are that motivated to make sure to win 7 games rather than 5? This isn't the end of the Matt Nagy era where he felt desperate to keep his job, these guys have at least this year to develop people. They aren't getting fired if they bottom out this year.
-
Wow, shocked to see Blackson so poorly rated - saw him make penetration on a few plays (and get held a few times) and thought that spoke well to his performance but clearly not
-
I don’t know if it’s eternal Bears brain on my end but uh…we have two games of information from Fields in his second year. A lot of it is ugly, but not all of it. Game 1, in bizarre conditions, was not an unqualified disaster, in fact I’d say it was on the whole positive. Game 2 was pretty bad. The most concerning thing for me is he’s still not feeling pressure and reacting properly to it. Holding the ball too long, scrambling to the wrong area, taking unnecessary sacks. The Line is awful in pass pro and I suspect the receivers aren’t getting enough separation. But it can’t be this bad, he’s gotta get the ball out faster or leave the pocket faster. I hope the Bears coaching staff lets him run on offense like a professional QB, warts and all. If it leads to blow outs, fine, we need the data. It’s a lost year regardless.
-
Yeah really not interested in doing a JFK bullet analysis of the challenge on the goal line. A bad play call, a probable TD, but not a call the refs will overturn without incontrovertible evidence, which wasn’t there. I think even if the coaches are doubting Fields abilities, 9 attempts is way too few before we’re down 3 scores in the 4th. There were downs where they ran which were basically forfeiting the drive. Running on 2nd and 19? You can’t do that. You simply cannot. If Fields and the passblocking fails you in such circumstances, so be it. But you have to play modern football. You can’t surrender drives.

It would be cool to play the packers when they don’t have a generational hall of fame quarterback sometime in my life I think the last time the bears played the packers and they didn’t have a hall of fame quarterback I was like 6 years old
-
Definitely a touchdown but a terrible play call
-
Ugh Too many broken plays, miscommunication. Shades of Nagy haunting us.
-
If it’s that easy to run on the Bears this is gonna be a VERY ugly year
