I seriously doubt Pace has the authority (should probably say, "is in a position") to fire Nagy at this point. His "known" contract is up after this season. Some believe he signed some sort of secret extension in the offseason to avoid public criticism of rewarding failure, and to put him on the same timeline as Nagy whose contract ends after 2022. Unless both of them signed secret extensions beyond 2022, or somehow Pace got a longer one while Nagy did not, he's not really in a position to salvage his job by firing Nagy and hoping some interim guy wins a title. I think they are more likely to fire them both, and have one of their rising guys take the role on an interim basis while a coordinator acts as head coach. If the pattern holds the next guy will be a defensive minded head coach who can bring in offensive coaches to salvage Fields.

To be fair, our only data point for Dalton not facing the Rams is the ~1 half he got against the Bengals when he had a 118 QB rating, so we haven't quite disproven that yet. But I'm almost certain we will as soon as he gets back to starting. I see your 118 QB rating and raise you, 7 points scored. I fold?

You picked a hell of a week to stop sniffing glue

Yeah, complaining about the run game is akin to complaining about the defense today. They barely had the ball on offense, were behind all day, and were in long down and distances all game with being sacked every series. …at least part of that was because they never bothered to try to establish the run. oh come on. Establishing the run wasn’t the issue. They couldn’t establish a forward moving play. They were thoroughly dominated.

Well that was ugly

I don't really pay much attention to who does and does not get into the HOF but I don't expect any of these Bears to get there. To get multiple defenders from the same defense you need to have won a Super Bowl I assume. Are there any examples of 2/3 guys from the same defense making the Hall w/o a title? For an offensive linemen to get in the line has to have been reputationally excellent for an extended time. I think the lack of quality offense with him in there drags down Kreutz chances. And outside of Chicago I doubt many people think Hester should get in as a returner.

I think the point he is trying to make is that Nagy has said, "Fields will start when he's ready and we will all know when that is". He wasn't ready last week with Dalton as an option, so why is he ready this week when Foles is the only other option? The only thing that makes sense is they think Dalton is better than Fields, but Fields is better than Foles. I mean, we know they don't want to waste anymore time on Foles, which is understandable. But a lot of us have questioned why they thought it was OK wasting time on Dalton. Yeah. That's what I was trying to say. What does Dalton's health have to do with Fields' readiness, if readiness is really what determines when Fields will be starting? Not that I have any desire whatsoever to see any more of Foles. "The QB will let us know when he is ready" is coach speak. This is disingenuous nitpicking. He's the backup to the starter who is out.

Huh? I think the point he is trying to make is that Nagy has said, "Fields will start when he's ready and we will all know when that is". He wasn't ready last week with Dalton as an option, so why is he ready this week when Foles is the only other option? The only thing that makes sense is they think Dalton is better than Fields, but Fields is better than Foles. I mean, we know they don't want to waste anymore time on Foles, which is understandable. But a lot of us have questioned why they thought it was OK wasting time on Dalton. I don’t think this question comes from an honest viewpoint. Fields is the backup and the starter is injured. The only reason Foles is on the roster is because of cap ramifications of cutting him. People wanted Fields to start and he’s starting game 3 of his career. We should be happy about this. At least I am.

There are six games with a touchdown or more spread this week. Could be some ugliness out there

David Ross sucks and GR was always right to hate him

Well he has job security for a few more years. I'm not a fan of a lot of your posts but I enjoyed this one. Well done. -
Hot take but I think Fields kind of proved it was the right decision to ease him into the season/career. His talent and upside is obvious but there are some rough edges to work around and I think having a few snaps every game was/is helping. I was watching this one of my phone from the beach so I didn't catch every play, but I can't complain.

It is going to get him more experience. He'll have gone through 2-3 post game film sessions, which are different than college. He'll have gone through a few game weeks, which are different than college. He'll have seen NFL defenses going full speed, which is different than college. If you value the things that experience can give you a couple weeks does matter. It's about making him comfortable and not throwing him to the wolves with a battered offensive line. It's a reasonable approach to take. I think it's probably needlessly conservative, but I'm also not gonna start bleeding from my eyeballs from rage over it. All year I might eyeball bleed from rage. The only way that all year is on the table is if Dalton starts lighting in up and they win a ton. I'll be fine if that happens (it's not happening).

I think people are overplaying the "Nagy has to be pressured to start Fields" story. Nagy wants Fields to be his QB. He's going to start. Nagy didn't want him to start from day 1. He will be making a change relatively soon, that much is obvious.
