Yep. That checks out. By the way, this isn't a comparison between Trubisky and Fields. However, this feels like a continuation of Nagy's failures to adapt to his QB's strengths and weaknesses. That's exactly how it feels to me as well.
-
I don't recall the Bears doing it mid-season. Could be wrong? Regardless I can't see it. They'll ride Nagy until the offseason and if it's a losing season they'll analyze whether they want Pace to continue without him. I think Pace bought a little goodwill with the Fields move. But I'm looking at this cruddy OLine, the empty chairs at TE, and the secondary (maybe they'll improve??) and I'm still seeing overall failure @ GM.
-
Look at the schedule after Detroit. They may get it right against DET but it's going to be tough for those guys afterwards.
-
I feel like Nagy will ruin Fields if he’s the guy who gives Fields his first set of NFL starts. But he’s in charge right now. It’s his ship to sink, with career-altering consequences for Fields.
-
…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.Look I’m not saying running the ball would have won them the game but to not even make it part of the game plan was just another bizarre choice from a head coach full of bad ideas about how to run an NFL offense.
-
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.

I'm not here to form opinions on Fields right now because it's way too early. But I don't get why Bears fans are acting like Fields is some sure thing. I don't think anyone has said he's a sure thing. What Bears fans are "acting like" is open to interpretation. But what is clear is he is the most talented QB the Bears have ever had on the roster in their 102 years of existence. But I also think most of us are aware what happened to the last guy that with great talent (Cutler). I don't think Fields is a sure thing, but he's as close to a sure thing as the Bears have ever had And if he fails, I think it will say more about the organization as a whole than him as a talent. It’s a sure thing for me if he fails it’s a condemnation of the Bears as an organization that can foster a great QB. The graveyard of QBs. That’s what many would already say about the Bears. It becomes official if Fields busts.
-
They handed the ball off to Montgomery 10 times all game. In their rookie QBs’ first start, the Bears only handed the ball off to their best offensive player 10 times. And they weren’t down by enough points to justify not running the ball. I went into the game thinking there would be a lot more straight up runs and a lot more run pass options or gadget plays. Far fewer drop back passes. I can’t even conceive why Nagy thought this would work.
-
It’s far too late to expect defense. They played well today for as long as can be expected given they spent way too much time on the field desperately trying to keep this thing afloat.
-
This time I’m not accepting any of the arguments that the QB was a failure. It’s 100% staff. Fields is a no-doubt top prospect period end of story.
-
With them already having Fields and not having a 1st rounder, I'm at no point going to root for the team to lose this year. But I do hope they do just bad enough to get Nagy and Pace canned. Isn’t that basically rooting for them to lose?
-
Here I’ll say it…he doesn’t look good. Totally overwhelmed He’s making a lot of mistakes as much as everything else is a disaster It’s all bad. All bad.
-
LOL worst PI call since the non PI in Saints/Rams
-
At this point the best scenario is to keep Fields on the sideline, fire Nagy, then have Fields come back fresh with a new staff. I don’t want Nagy ruining the best Bear QB prospect in a generation.
-
Sorry Nagy but your D can’t bail you out for 60 minutes straight.
-
It really is a joke. The man cannot call an offense. What is his problem? Want to win or not?
-
Embarrassing.
-
Browns have a very good set of players on O and pretty good play calling to go with it.
-
He's amazingly predictable. Scripted plays are over. He can’t call an offense in-game.
-
If we win it will be on D for sure.
-
LOL if Mack shows up like that all game it definitely changes the odds. Keep going for it though. I’ll take the ball back with no points.
-
I can only assume Fields has no option on play calls today? That was the wrong play for that defense
-
Wisconsin is no good at all and when they went ahead 13-10 and ND had its 3rd-string QB in the game due to injuries. I had a brief moment of annoyance at the idea that Wisconsin was going to get a poll boost from beating a not-very-good ND team and then Michigan would in turn get a poll boost from beating them like a drum next week (which they will). Then Chris Tyree went 98 yards for a TD and at least I don't have to worry about that anymore. I was at the game. I heard Chryst is desperate not to have to go to Wolf at QB. I don’t care. Mertz MUST not play.
-
I don't know but it seemed consistent with what I've seen from Nagy before, with a script of plays that seems to work well initially but then subsequent drives are sluggish. If true, all we need to do is stop the game after the first drive, do another week of prep, then continue.
-
The Bengals have a young QB with a battered line. The defense played great, but let's see Mack have a great game and help hold down a good offense. Next week we'll know more. Mack is making me sad.
