I agree, I didn't understand why Bears fans were flipping out over that call. It may have slightly crossed over, but no way they are changing the call with the reviews we saw IMO. Bears fans should focus their ire on lining up in shotgun for a 1 inch sneak. "Slightly crossed over" is a TD That image from barstool is hardly the best look. Finding a better image is fruitless at this point, but it broke the plane No that's the best image and we can't see the ball because it's behind his left arm.
-
And then a segment of Bears Twitter then went into a predictable tailspin about refs highlighting any missed hold or false start they could find. I thought the refs called a decent game except for the flag they inexplicitly picked up on a clear hold, with little explanation. But that had zero impact since it was a sack anyways.

Bears fans should focus their ire on lining up in shotgun for a 1 inch sneak. I think maybe people are confused thinking the ball was in his right hand which looks kind of like fingers clasped around the point of a ball. Really from that view Fields left hand would have to be like paper thin for the ball to have crossed. The front of his hand/forearm crossing isn't enough.
-
I think the no call was a good one. Just went back and watched it. This circled area is just an empty area. The ball was in his left arm, and you can't see the ball from beind his left arm there. He's holding the ball close to his body behind the left arm there, not outward from his body. A little bit of his left arm looks like it's across the goalie, but the ball needs to be. Maybe it did but certainly can't confirm it from that still.

Objectively, you're blind I'm not convinced.
-
Am I blind or are Bears fans all just homerimg hard because I don't see the actual ball on the replay there.
-
What in the actual hell.
-
Pretty much everyone on the offense is there for their running game contributions. Yep. This has been the clear direction since like March.
-
A big break. Let's see how they do nothing with it
-
NY already doesn't look as easy of an opponent. But on a different positive note, once Fields get an extra weapon in Smith-Njigba, maybe the offense will open up a bit.
-
SF isn't that good, at least not with Lance at QB.
-
I retract this statement.
-
Gordon is getting picked on.
-
I like this team.

I like how he points out the holds, which happen on every play and refs just call them at their leisure. But this fellow is like hmmmm isn’t that holding? Why yes. Yes it is. his analysis is believable, I can't deny that. but if you close your eyes to the video, it's easy to think he's talking about soccer. I guess I'm not up to speed with how popular the NFL is in England..or English....or for ex-patriot British living in the US also...anyone else nervous for tonight? I desperately want the Bears to win this Anectodally, a Bears message board I post on has two or three long time Brits who became Bears fans in the 80s. I think it's always had its niche for fans, but the access to tape and info allows a very dedicated person to close the technical knowledge gap in the past decade (in a way a 80s or 90s English person couldn't).

He's better to listen to than most if these YouTube film guys. I like how he points out the holds, which happen on every play and refs just call them at their leisure. But this fellow is like hmmmm isn’t that holding? Why yes. Yes it is. If you have an hour to waste his A22 OLine breakdown was pretty good too.

Speaking of Robinson (and a few Brisker moments too).
-
The TD part of that equation is probably half noise between the two. But also I'm kind of ignoring last year. In the vain of "realistic hope is that he eases in as a system guy" it kind of necessitates resetting this year since his rookie year was such a coaching failure. And if it's also not obvious I'm not extrapolating the monsoon game too much. So yea I hope he can look like a good young system QB in 23 even if he got delayed a year in his career.
-
TDs are kinda heavy there, but if he was averaging 3,250 yards per year that's easily a bottom quintile offense. Even when Russ did that nearly 10 years ago that's a bottom third passing yard offense (just converted a lot of passing TDs) I'd say he definitely qualifies as that young QB who was intentionally protected and excelled as a system guy
-
I think that's been the plan with this staff/FO. Russell Wilson same thing his first few years. Protect him by not asking him to do more than he's capable of and make it easier on him, let him progressively work on and get better at different things on a year by year basis, etc. Run the ball, play action, boots, whatever. I'm gaining confidence that Getsy is going to handle that well. Yea, just have to hope Getsy gets a solid 3 years with him. But all it takes is one breakout year from Fields and hell skyrocket to the top of hot HC names.
-
I'm still excited about Fields, but he definitely still has a lot to clean up and in 22/23, we should probably think of him as a system QB. That's fine. Lamar Jackson went from system QB to MVP in like 2 seasons. Brady was arguably a system QB for his first 5 years. Just gotta see him do well in the system and grow. He still has high end potential, but he's not gonna be Mahomes who just basically never went through a serious learning curve. They're gonna protect him a lot this year. That's been obvious all offseason. Lots of runs in the future.
-
Somewhat interesting Schofield is the guy considering he wasn't on the PS and Leatherwood was inactive week 1 anyway. So this is mostly a practice body anyways. Although perhaps if Patrick can snap again Schofield does become an active as they wouldn't then pull up Dieter to be the backup snapper. Still would have been nice if Thomas had shown enough to get that spot since he did make the initial 53 man. Sure, Schofield has positional versatility, but that didn't matter apparently on the original 53.and Borom/Jones/Rieff with Jenkins seems like enough T depth as is.
-
Yea, and I'm sure Rodgers and the Pack pick it up this week, but on the chance that they actually are bad too, then the NFC North winner is probably like a 9 win teams so we could have a Bears "in the hunt" team into mid December.
-
Think he was psyched out by the field too. He just physically looked like he didn't want to be out there. After the first missed one (2nd TD iirc), I'm still a tad shocked they didn't go for two after the third TD I plugged it into the Ben Baldwin decision bot and it only likes the 2 pt very very slightly (by a +0.2 wp). https://rbsdm.com/stats/fourth_calculator/
