  1. That's what actually good QBs do on key plays when no one is open.
  2. This game is *really* gonna change the fanbase's vibes going into the offseason.
  3. I mean, even if they have a good fourth quarter, I won't be upset if he's fired. I Just don't think it will matter much.
  4. Fields did a good job there of sensing the pressure and getting a pass off anyway. That's the blueprint of what it's supposed to look like.
  5. I'm on team "players matter way more than coaches and coordinators are usually scapegoats," but if they don't score some points in the 4th quarter you really can't not fire Getsy.
  6. You know what's funny: People always start getting personal when they're mad that the bears are losing. It has nothing to do with me, they just want someone to yell at.
  7. This game is going to get Jaylon Johnson paid
  8. Hit his drop quicker and step up. It's not a difficult play for an ordinary NFL QB.
  9. ... how many receivers were on your screen?
  10. The playcalling is telling us exactly what the coaching staff thinks of Fields. And that sack was 100% on him.
  11. The defense is playing ordinary. It just feels terrible because we know we need them to be exemplary to drag us to a win.
  12. This season...the second half of this season ... the last four games...the last three games ... the last two games...this last game against the Packers... This final half of the season is what will really decide Justin Fields' future as a Bear, he really needs to ball out.
  13. Less than 24 hours until the "how Fields does in the off-season interviews will really decide his fate as a Bear" takes.
  14. I'm not clear on why coaching gets more of the blame than, say, the QB with possibly the worst fourth quarter stats in the league. I haven't seen it is as much here, but in other bears fans spaces there's this weird belief that the team is "too conservative" when playing with leads or in tie games late. I have no idea what that's based on. If anything we've been too aggressive. We run the ball a lot with the lead, but no more than every other team. We've been extremely aggressive when going for it on fourth downs to the point we passed on a go-ahead fourth quarter field goal. The defense has been burned on blitzes late more than anything else, we rarely run a full 8 man coverage
  15. To expand, I think a lot of people forget that it wasn't just Hester, that specal teams unit was insane. Hester was ridiculous, but the blocking was blasting open giant holes for him every week too. It was legit the best specal teams unit I've ever seen.
  16. All three of Fields' big games this year came against teams that stubbornly refused to move off of man coverage or double Moore.
  17. Josh Allen showed a way better arm in college. No opinion on Jackson.
  18. I'm talking about projecting his ability to throw as a pro, not college stats. He's got inconsistency and accuracy issues. He's like the 6th best passer in the draft.
  19. What is with people's obsession with QBs who do everything but throw the ball the best.
  20. I think there's a valid path where you 1) Bring in a league-average veteran QB, someone above the Dalton line 2) Trade out of No. 1 to get a buttload of value 3) Plan to draft second-level QB prospects, in either this year or the future. I just don't know where you find the QB for part 1.
  21. If they're making decisions based on fan chants at the game, we don't need to worry about any of it because they're not good at their jobs.
  22. 4) I understand the incredible value that trading the no. 1 pick could bring and am happy to explore it, but I don't know where our QB is going to come from if we do that
  23. Just as a weekly reminder: Justin Fields 28th out of 31 qualified starters in Success% passing, between Kenny Pickett and Will Levis. Justin Fields is 26th out of 33 qualified starters in ANY/A, tied with Desmond Ritter and again just below Kenny Pickett. He is 23rd out of 31 in QBR, which includes rushing, just slightly ahead of Kenny PIckett and Sam Howell. The narrative is kind of picking up steam that Fields is an average QB but maybe we have a tough choice between that and aiming for more. He's not an average QB. He's a bad QB.
