Yes we saw the replay. But not just this play. He’s already scrambled 4 times in 8 drop backs. Again I don’t know who is getting open and at least once he was pressured in a hurry I feel like I’m on solid ground assuming nobody is open on a lot of plays. It’s a low-tier receiving corps. Sure but Fields has been missing open guys all year and is being criticized for holding the ball too long when film is being reviewed. It can definitely be a bit of both
There was nobody with *any* separation on that play. Yes we saw the replay. But not just this play. He’s already scrambled 4 times in 8 drop backs. Again I don’t know who is getting open and at least once he was pressured in a hurry
Welp. Returning kicks from the first 5 yards of the end zone is pretty clearly a coaching philosophy at this point. No matter who the KR is, they're being told to return it instead of kneel Do you mean for the Bears or NFL as a whole? I’d like to see some stats on percentage of returns that pass the 25. We’ve been doing this for a few years and can only remember 1-2 returns that actually got us good field position but can remember many more that are stopped inside the 20
It’s almost as hilarious as it is fun that they are winning all these games. Wish they played like this when it was meaningful but some good vibes going into the offseason.
I might have jumped the gun on Minnesota unfortunately. Illinois though, holy horsefeathers. Illinois comes to the Big House a week before the OSU game. Was worried about it as a trap game but now worried about it beyond its trap potential.
Happy to see Herbert get more time as the lead back. Less excited about seeing more of Ebner, but maybe he will be better if he's not also returning kicks because Velus is in.
I have said many many bad things about the ownership and I will continue to do so but one positive is that they really modernized the franchise. It felt like a mom and pop shop under Trib Co. Little things like having a top notch content creation team are awesome.
There were definitely points in this year that I thought it was much more likely we lost 100+ games then win 70+ games. 3-3 against the Reds allows us to avoid 90 losses.
And if you break that down that's 9-0 against the Philles and Mets vs 8-4 against the scrubs (Nats and Marlins). Again, blah blah blah draft position but I'm having fun with this.
You could also look at it as 20-10 against the NL East (possibly soon to be 21-10) and 49-76 against everyone else ATL 3-3 MIA 4-2 NYM 4-3 PHI 5-0 WAS 4-2
