  1. The controversy over the terrible playcall and equally terrible ref call is going to distract from how badly how many Bears played.
  2. Pretty much everyone on the offense is there for their running game contributions.
  3. Annnd Mustipher botches the snap count to kill the drive.
  4. The good news is that this is the game that will make "Don't pay Roquan Smith" a much more popular take.
  5. I was literally in the middle of typing that every time something bad happens, it's Kyler Gordon's guy, when he whiffs on his gap and turns a clean stop into a 40-yard run.
  6. It was fun to believe for a week, but Eberflus/Poles aren't building some kind of magically decent team out of late-round picks and waiver-wire castoffs. We're just tanking.
  7. Is it? This Packers team still looks like poop to me. We just look poopier.
  8. The offensive line is bad.
  9. There you go.
  10. This feels so winnable unless Rodgers does some elite QB horsefeathery.
  11. This kinda stuff is only gonna get worse for chess. He definitely cheated and there's definitely no way they can prove it.
  12. For comparison, Fields career to date extrapolated to 17 games would be 2600 yards and 14 TDs. I'm willing to give him a pass for last week because of the rain, but we need him to put up numbers.
  13. Russell Wilson threw for 6500 yards and 52 TDs his first two years.
  14. I don't know on the second one, but I know on the first one I saw his plant leg slip a fraction on the replay.
  15. I still hate the "slog the game down with defense and rushing" approach even when it works. But it I get to see Fields throw 2 TD passes every game I'll live with it
  16. Well, huh. I saw a lot I didn't like, but Fields made two TDs happen and Lance didn't. Better QB wins, as it should be
  17. My doom boner is blocking out so much of the sun that it's going to solve global warming
  18. I honestly can't tell if we're actually promising or if we're really about to bottom out tanking. Part of me wants to believe that Justin Fields is about to become a breakout star and that bringing in lots of fresh bodies for the meat grinder is actually a good thing. Part of me suspects that we're just throwing out random crap because we don't care about this season and want to go hard rebuild, and maybe I shouldn't be so hype about a QB who threw for less than 175 yards/1 TD per start last season.
  19. What Poles is doing with the offensive line is what Theo Epstein was doing with Ian Stewart and Chris Volstad. He doesn't care enough about the roster yet to invest in it and he's just killing time trying to find random value while he waits.
  20. That last preseason game got me regrettably optimistic. Fields looked like he had something figured out.
  21. OK i'm starting to drink the kool aid a little bit.
  22. Very fun. Justin Fields being good matters more than anything else.
  23. This has been burned in my brain since the day it happened. It was in the final week with a playoff spot on the line too. "Oh my god, how could he *do* that" is, speaking as an aficianado of sports misery porn, an all-timer.
  24. Some Youtube QB breakdowner said the same thing, about him going through his progressions too quickly, and showed some examples. I'd be curious which ones they highlighted, there was one where he went right to the back as well as the scrambles that were his poorest decisions, IMO. He's not Lamar Jackson, I'd rather see him be a pocket passer who can rollout and run; compared to a runner who can throw.
