Anyone see Velus Jones on the field at all tonight? I’m not exactly hoping to see him return punts but he is our 3rd round WR so thought we’d see him some on offense

I know it’s wet but come on catch your punts dammit

On the one of those where they showed the view from behind the QB, there was absolutely nobody open Someone pointed out he only has 3 throwaways this year. I’m not saying it was/wasn’t possible in this scenario but he’s gotta throw those away if he can. Those negative plays both took them out of FG range. Yes he managed to get them back into good shape but you want to avoid negative plays there. horsefeathers it im being negative after Fields had a great half nevermind. Great stuff JF1!

That end zone hold almost looked intentional. Fields was looking Kmet and if he gets separation it’s 6 points. But with the clock winding down a hold ruins the play and only gives them time for a FG attempt

They should probably run it here but horsefeathers it take a shot to the end zone lol

I’m not sure what plays are out there but it still looks like he’s holding onto the ball way too long. It’s hurt him twice and helped him once this drive

Holy horsefeathers

Fields literally died for that TD pass

Is it just in my head or does Fields frequently have a lot of success on the first drive of the game and then struggle? Scored a TD on first drive against packers, scored FG and TD first 2 drives against Texans, FG on first drive against Giants, led a FG drive against Vikings, drove the Bears to the 5 in their second drive against WAS and then the 10 points today. What’s up with that? Scripted plays working?

Was that person having a seizure when they shot that video? He was trying to zoom in and focus on Mustipher

Wtf?!?!

The pass to Mooney to me looked like he waited too long to throw it and the DB caught up. Falls into the “processing time” bucket

Oh so all you need to do is just throw it deep every time

Ok so the Bears bring in our Zappe now right?

To get others open? They throw like 12 times a game. Drake London is in same situation. Top 10 pick talent, nextgen shows his route running is elite but he gets 2-3 targets a game. Yesterday they were down 21-0 early and it was the optimal scenario for lots of passing but I think Mariota threw 16 times. No one is catching balls in that office. But your general point stands. Would be cool to get him

I’ve done the same thing. Only reason I’ve thought about it is the number of Boston fans I know. I’m not “out” on fields or whatever but I’ve lost a lot of the emotion of caring how he looks week to week. Don’t get me wrong I’ll be watching and hoping he does well but it’s not stressing me out before games anymore

Not sure what to make of this

Bears/Patriots quirk: This is only the 5th time the Bears have faced the Patriots in New England. The Bears have never beaten the Patriots in New England. The Bears and Patriots have been in the NFL together since 1970. The first 4 times the teams played (1973, 1979, 1982 and 1985) were all in Chicago. When the Bears played the Patriots in Super Bowl XX, it was the first time they played a Patriots team wearing their home jerseys. They did not end up playing their first game in New England until 1988. After 88, then 97, 06, 14 and now 22. To compare with another AFC team, the Bears have been the road team against the Raiders 4 times since 2007, though one was in London, and the team relocated in the middle so 2 were in Oakland, 1 London, 1 Las Vegas.

It's a superflex league and 6 of my top 8 players are on bye or have been injured recently (Jefferson, AJ Brown, Miles Sanders, Patterson, Javonte, Penny). But cant use that excuse for QB, I gambled on Fields before the season as my QB2 and it has not worked out and a better option hasn't come around due to how deep the league is. I feel like Fields isn't a terrible fantasy option. 47 rushing yards or more in 4 straight games. I mean, if you're starting 2 QBs, he's in the top 24. I have a league where Tom Brady is my QB1 and Mariota QB2. I'm hoping I can get Tua on waivers....that's how bad my team is. **Though I did score the 2nd most points this week and lose by 3.5 points (thanks to 2 late INTs for the Miami D, effing Kenny Pickett)** He's actually QB24 for the season in my league, so basically the lowest possible QB2 you can start in my league (though skewed by other QBs ahead f him having 7 games played). His point totals by week: 18, 9, 5, 10, 19, 20. The problem is that its a 6pt passing TD league and he only has 4 this year, so when comparing him to other QBs who actually throw TDs he looks worse off. The running obviously helps salvage a lot of his performances but he's not getting a lot of rushing TDs either. As for tonight, the Patriots under BB have historically struggled to contain running QBs. However, I think they are going to sell out to contain him knowing that he won't beat them consistently with his arm. If that happens, it might be tough for him to get a ton of points tonight.

Obviously you have stars on every other slot on the roster. It's a superflex league and 6 of my top 8 players are on bye or have been injured recently (Jefferson, AJ Brown, Miles Sanders, Patterson, Javonte, Penny). But cant use that excuse for QB, I gambled on Fields before the season as my QB2 and it has not worked out and a better option hasn't come around due to how deep the league is.

I need Justin Fields to outscore Mac by 4.84 points to win my fantasy week. Which tells you all you need to know about the state of my fantasy team.

I don't even remember him throwing multiple TDs in a game, but I guess it happened in the SF game and against GB last year. I'm really not looking forward to watching this one though feel obligated because there are only 17 of these a year. I've been dealing with the flu for the last couple of days so I may just peace out if its looking bad early.

This is only the 2nd time since 2002 that both LCS series ended in 4 or 5 games. The last time it happened was 2014.

Phillies and Astros really going to make it so we have to wait for Friday for more baseball
