  1. Also while I critiqued throws earlier in the game, I don’t really think Justin Fields was the reason the Bears couldn’t score with those 2 chances to win the game. Getsy wasn’t really calling downfield passes, probably because he doesn’t trust the pass blocking. When fields was forced to go downfield he threw a good ball to Claypool who drew a PI that wasn’t called and then hit Brown in motion right on his hands and he just dropped it.
  2. This isn't a single game though, it's been 3 straight games of 29 or more points and strong play from Justin. 2 came against really good defensive teams. And last week isn't really a "yeah but" because the Bears were able to come back in that game and it was competitive until a defensive TD, which wasn't Justin's causing (besides not touching the dude). Also, I wanted this win. It's hard to root for a loss when the Bears actually have a chance. I didn't think they would, but the only thing missing from his resume is a GW TD drive. He's now done his part to get one vs. Miami, Washington, Minnesota, and last year in Pittsburgh. At some point, a confidence building win would mean more to the team that a boost in draft slot. thats where I am at too. I hate watching my teams lose in general, but I'd like to see Fields be rewarded with a win. Definitely root for the Bears every week. I just don’t get as upset if they fall short. Sure it’s better for the team to lose at this point but I can’t imagine rooting for a loss, especially because we’re still at midseason. If the Bears are 3-13 and a loss clinches the number 1 pick maybe I waiver
  3. I did the same exact thing. Put in Patterson, then realized they were playing Thursday so sat Patterson expecting light work. I’m down 10 after Kupp’s TD. Kupp-Fournette-Butker Vs Evans-Ertz-JuJu We do point per every 10 yards on kicks(45 yarder is 4.5 points) to mix it up so hopefully Butker gets some long ones. Due to fields (55 points in my league), Adams (33 points) Jefferson (22 points) I more than survived the 15 point loss by starting herbert over Patterson
  4. The announcers were like begging for a flag to be thrown. They were waiting to say “and there’s the flag” but it just never came out
  5. NFC North Vikings 7-1 Packers 3-6 Bears 3-6 Lions 2-6
  6. Don’t look now, the Lions move 1/2 behind the Bears for last place in the North. Draft position!
  7. The fact that he can be a ridiculously productive while his passing game is still coming along (partially due to him partially due to personnel) is great. He will improve as a passer but for now this is some exciting horsefeathers
  8. They need to review PI again. I know people hated it and it was controversial but something like that is completely ridiculous
  9. Bargain basement WR loses the game for the Bears
  10. Ok nvm horsefeathers fields passing. This is incredible lol
  11. Let’s go win this bitch
  12. The first one to Claypool had to be that high to get over the defender, it was effectively a throw away. The second was to Brown who cut off the route while Fields threw a go. I don't understand why there's just this pressing need to bag on Fields from this thread when he's having his 3rd solid week in a row. I’m not “bagging on fields”. He’s a developing QB, he’s been absolutely amazing today but I’m also looking at areas he can improve on. It’s exciting to watch him develop and know that he still has room to get better. Not sure what you mean about the throw to brown, the ball sailed several yards out of bounds, there was no chance of a catch.
  13. Starting Fields in fantasy was certainly a good decision. 47 points
  14. Kmet looks really solid
  15. 4 really bad passes for Fields today. Over throw on a screen to Claypool. Way overthrown to Mooney (I think) that landed 3-4 yards past the sideline, very low uncatchable 5 yard pass to Claypool and that INT that was wiped out. I don’t mean to be too critical because he’s been electric but he’s gotta find a way to fix those easy throws that he makes uncatchable
  16. Fields has been amazing but we need him to get going more passing. 96 passing yards today
  17. I’m just laughing. This is hilarious
  18. Seems like Jaylen Johnson is having a terrible game but it’s also hard to defend when your pass rush never gets close to the QB
  19. Bears are gonna be down 35-17 before they touch the ball again
  20. My God what a throw and what a catch
  21. Well both my college team and my NFL team had a blocked punt returned for a TD this weekend
  22. This is soooooo bad lol. All comes down to the front 7. You expect it to be bad but you’d think an Eberflus coached defense could figure out something schematically to at least occasionally slow down the opponent.
  23. Gonna be a shootout lol. Can’t believe I’m saying that about a Bears game
