I always find the concept of QB-WR chemistry to be interesting. It took a while for Fields to feel comfortable looking for Moore and finding where to give the ball to him and when he did Moore blew up for 2 weeks before a regression yesterday. Tyler Scott had 5 targets this year in 5 games and was an afterthought in the offense. Fields did give him a target yesterday, but when Bagent, who has likely thrown to Scott quite a bit in practice, came into the game he threw to Scott 4 times in 1.5 quarters, catching 2 of them for 12 years and drawing a huge ~40 yard PI call in the Bears only TD drive in the game. Not saying we should be throwing to Scott more necessarily but it makes me think when you are wondering why a rookie WR has not done much it could be just that the QB is simply not looking his way. Edit: Should also mention that Bagent also gave Velus his first target of the season, but I don't think Velus has run many routes this year either way.

This is like the 4th year in a row that Big Noon Saturday has been a thing. I’m used to it at this point. Fox is the primary B1G rights holder and they’ve decided their biggest time slot is noon. I love a great night game between 2 great teams but while I’m not a traditionalist with most of my views, I enjoy when big games are on in the early window like they were when I was growing up. Now it seems like most games, even bad ones, are on in the late afternoon or night.

That was so weird. I thought towards the end of that game that the bears were the best team in the NFC. Like you said rolling along. Figured even if Hanie sucked we just needed to go like 2-4 to lock up a playoff spot and get Cutler back. On top of that their remaining schedule was atrocious. Pissed off that we couldn’t find a way to win 2 games. Damn you Marion Barber (also RIP) edit: I guess they would have needed 3 wins since the 6 seed was the 10-6 falcons who we beat head to head. But still, lose 10-3 to the Chiefs on a Hail Mary, lost the Tebow game we were 98% locks in, there’s your 10-6. Those later Lovie teams were designed to find painful ways to barely miss the playoffs
-
Didn’t Jay Cutler miss like 2 months with a dislocated thumb? I’m guessing we really don’t know the severity until the MRI.
-
Doesn’t sound like something he’ll be able to play with anytime soon depending on the severity. Completely guessing here but maybe 3 weeks as a best case scenario? Maybe I’m way off and shouldn’t be completely guessing
-
guess we shouldn’t expect the pass rush to get better for next week. Every team has injuries but it feels like the Bears are always ravaged by injuries to the thinnest parts of our team
-
Almost certainly not but like many of us have said there’s like a 0.1% chance he is something and nothing I saw today suggests that it goes down to 0.0%, if anything it went up to 0.5%
-
It feels like the ball slipped out of his hands. His arm looked like it was preparing for a longer throw and it looked strange coming out. Possibly also anticipated the hit that was coming and it took something off the throw
-
Some good stuff from Bagent but did it not feel a little Hanie like? Opponent not prepared for them, got the ball moving with some easy completions and runs, led them on a TD drive but 2 killer mistakes, one for a defensive TD and one late in the game driving for the tying/winning score
-
Wow huge grounding call. Will the bears seriously get the ball back with a chance to win?
-
Obviously I want the Bears to win, but 70% of the desire is for the hilarity that would ensue this week.
-
Bagent! 4 less passing yards than fields
-
Not that it matters but the defense has been good today.
-
Fields ruled out for the game. Guessing the x-ray didn’t look good since they ruled him out so quickly. Could be looking at an extended absence
-
Nice throw by Bagent but couldn’t stay in bounds. Also looked like he stared him down which may have let to being forced out
-
We can’t horsefeathers snap the ball for 2 weeks in a row and our QB is just throwing WR screens. Great stuff
-
Mooney come on dude block
-
Last Bears win at home: September 25, 2022 Last Bears win on a Sunday (you know, the day that NFL teams play on 90% of the time): September 25, 2022
-
670 hosts are devastated. Was going to be their Super Bowl tomorrow morning if Bagent immediately drove them to a TD
-
Saw lots of good stuff from fields the last 2 weeks but also reminded that he was playing 2 of the 5 worst defenses in the league and the line was able to block for him.
-
That’s what I mean about pressure getting to him. He’s getting indecisive and which is what seems to happen when he’s under frequent pressure
-
Fields is heading to the locker room
-
Bagent time?
-
Pressure is getting to him
-
Looks like Eddie Jackson is already hurt again
