    I mean, nobody rational thought it was Nagy alone that was the issue. The GM wasted money on over the hill vets and traded draft picks like Pokémon cards while neglecting the OL in the process. The QB didn't progress from Year 2 to Year 4 (and still looks the same in Year 6). That same gm who made all the other mistakes is the one who zeroed in on fields even as 10 other teams passed on him

    Fields hasn't just been regular bad. Fields has been showing the worst QB play I have ever seen from a QB who is supposed to have a chance to be good. He's been worse than bad rex, worse than Trubisky. Maaaaybe McNown was this bad but sometimes he would randomly drop 250 and 3 TDs. If we keep winning games with running and defense, while he keeps playing this badly, there will be pressure on his job. If we are sitting at 6-6, you can't tell me the coaching staff will be comfortable looking the other 52 players in the eye and telling them they might not get playoff game checks because we can't bench a guy who isn't doing his job

    I never thought Nagy was that bad. Bad enough to be fired? Sure. Bad enough that he was singlehandedly holding everyone back? That was bears fan cope
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    I can honestly say that the bears offense would be better right now running the wildcat than with fields in there
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Dont forget we traded an extra first round pick both times to get our busts
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    He looks broken mentally. He had his issues with accuracy last year but he’s missing throws that he absolutely made last year We spent all offseason messing with his mechanics.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm officially out on Fields. He can't read defenses and make decisions. Maybe if you have enough patience and a good supporting cast he could be OK, but he's never gonna be elite, and I'm tired of settling for anything less at that position. Rosen him this offseason.

    Least inspiring win imaginable.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Teams have a read on that naked play-action bootleg. Packers blew it up too.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Time to root for the tie
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    The team is constructed that way because they chose to construct it that way. You're not wrong, but there were holes everywhere on the roster they took over with very limited draft capital and a bunch of bad contacts. I'm okay with the moves they made under the circumstances, even if I'd rather see more focus on offensive skill positions Even beyond level of investment, they chose a lot of run-first players. We were even trading for WRs whose only strength was their run blocking.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Maybe messing with Fields' release to make it faster was a bad idea.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    There’s run first and there’s by far leading the league in % of running plays called. Also that stat where the Bears have run the ball 92% of the time in goal to go situations (this was before 3 straight runs so it’s probably more like 94% now) Or are they realizing that the running game is by FAR the strongest part of their team, as currently constructed, and leaning on it. I want to see Fields have a lot more opportunity to learn and show what he can do as much as anyone else... But I can't be mad when they're rushing for over 8 yards a carry any the passing offense has looked LOST The team is constructed that way because they chose to construct it that way.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    They've made a very clear statement with their personnel decisions that they want to be a run-first team. I hate it.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Very little. This is *exactly* what I didn't want to see when Pace was fired. We're gonna be running the triple option before long.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    The personnel decisions in the offseason were our first big clue.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    I think the Bears are the better team overall but Lovie Smith's entire career is based around winning exactly this game.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    There's no reason not to try, this game is literally meaningless, you're giving up on developing Fields. Yes. Yes, yes they are.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    At this point, I just want to see us move on from Fields the right way. I mean, there's nothing we can do about it this season, but assuming this continues, we should be cutting bait next season. This front office didn't draft him, it's not their fault, let's see what they can do.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    In this case it's because our QB isn't good at it
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Well, the good news is that the guy who traded two first round picks to get fields isn't here anymore
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Theory: messing with fields' release to make it quicker has cost him some accuracy
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Without JJ this secondary gets bad fast
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    There were several throwable options on fields' big run. He just can't make himself pull the trigger. He's only comfortable throwing first-read timing routes or if he's scrambling and can stare down an open guy for a full second. We are gonna win this game in the least inspiring way possible
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Maybe it won't matter because teams were already picking on Gordon to a maximum degree
