    I'm sure no one was, just like every other time he's done it in his career.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    Literally how. Are you going to ask the Vikings politely to not blitz and let a deep route develop?
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    We just tried on third down. Hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop run for 4 yards. Protects his QB rating or whatever stat people will cite after the game, but does nothing for the team.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    For all the things that are legitimately Fields' fault, no other QB in the league takes uncalled dirty and borderline hits as often as he does.

    Great quick reaction by Brisker. Made that look easier than it was.

    Happy to help a boomer in need. Go to settings in the top right, then click on "Account" then "ignored users" and add the name to the box.

    Fields looks a lot like he did last week. It looks like he's made a conscious decision to be incorporate more short gains into his game. I liked his decision to hold the ball on the screen that was well-coevered earlier in the drive. He did miss a wide open Mooney on third down.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    This is one of those games where Fields' weakness on hot reads and quick slants is really apparent. Screens and dumps are all we have against this blitz, and it's hard to make touchdown drives out of those.

    I read it and ... No The whole thing boils down to "fields might be ok, QB prospects aren't sure things and MHj is." To which I reply he isn't, I don't care, and good for him he's still just a WR

    It was not. I generally don't believe players can/should move up the defensive spectrum.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Neither did Stroud.

    The main thing to remember about Coghlan is that we had some poster randomly calling for him to play 2b and everyone called that poster an idiot every time it was brought up for thinking it was even a remote possibility. Then it happened.

    They need to give Young some time to clear his head. He looks so rattled. Sees the pass rusher get clear on the left coming for him. Starts running right away from the pressure. Waits a beat and a half, *then* tries to lift his arm to throw despite knowing full well the pass rusher has to be right on top of him. Strip sack, lost fumble. The anticipation throws are still there and they are nice but he looks so broken in the pocket.

    If they want to give Poles a second coach and QB, I won't get my pitchforks out. I don't care for a lot of his decisions but the dude did pull off one of the biggest trade heists in recent memory. I'd rather clean out the whole thing tho
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    set up? *you* were the one who dared me to name one. How is that a setup?
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    I didn't have to try hard. That's what makes it funny.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    You make this too easy. Think really hard, I bet you can guess which one you should have come up with. Hint: It came in weeks 4-7 of 2018.

    I actually don't think Fields and Trubisky are that similar. Trubisky struggled to move past his first read, and he had those weird issues of being able to pass to one side of the field. Fields struggles to make accurate reads, which is different from sticking on your priority target. It's more that "Wait till he gets to a new team and new coach, then he'll show all the haters" is just part of the standard NFL QB bust stages of grief. The NFL brings in an average of 3 new first-round QBs per year and another 8-12 in subsequent rounds. That's a whole lot of busts floating around, and the vast majority of them are never going to get a second wind of success with a new team. For every Tannehill, there's a lot more Blaine Gabberts, Jake Lockers, EJ Manuels and Josh Rosens.

    They were coherent sentences but they were not ones you should be proud of. A comparison doesn't mean "everything about these two players is completely identifical.". It means "the specific aspects being referenced are similar, other aspects may be wildly different." The idea that Fields might have learned something from watching Bagent and play a more mistake-free football was quite popular before the game. And for 3.5 quarters, it seemed possibly warranted The only reason you're reacting negatively to it now is that it suddenly feels like a bad thing the way I said it. You're not thinking about the actual statement, you just know you don't like the vibes. Ryan poles has never drafted a QB. I'm not sure how the name on the checks or whatever other connection "the bears" have to previous QB failures is going to make the next QB fail. Curses aren't real. He's not going to go start anywhere else and succeed for any length of time, just like a Trubisky didn't.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Honestly I'm just happy when you post a coherent sentence. It's about a 50/50 shot
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Correct. But none of that changes that Fields' game before the choking was more Bagent-like than his previous games
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    And if he fails in this game, then really it's the last five games that will tell us something...
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Bagent has had 70 rushing yards in a game before. He can take off. Our standards for "good game" are way too low.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Correct. I don't think he can sustain 52% with his skill set. But I do think it explains why the offense "felt smoother" as many people described it with him, even while the total yards sucked.
