Hairyducked Idiot

My bad. Justin Fields did everything and it's *definitely* never his fault.

The odds of completing that throw are low *because* of things like the WR not adjusting properly. This isn't some mysterious thing that never ever happens on deep balls except this one time.

Nope. I just don't adjust my standards to try to be positive. People who change their opinions based on what emotions they want to feel project that onto me that I must be the one doing it. In the NFL, you will be in a lot of games where the ball is in the hands of your QB and you will win or lose based on what he chooses to do. Fields made the wrong choice, as he has in essentially every such situation throughout his career.

I don't know how to explain to Bears fans that there is more than one route on a play. I don't understand what they keep acting like they don't know that. Deep balls are notoriously hard to complete. Take the first down.

Justin Fields played ok. Maybe even bordering on good. But he's just never going to be the guy who wins you the game in the 4th quarter.

"The Important Thing Is It's Not Fields' Fault" Part 27. We've had more of these than Marvel movies at this point.

No. But Fields shouldn't have taken a deep shot on third down.

Killing more than half the fourth quarter with this drive is sexy af

LOL, they were when I looked a minute ago. That went from 17-10 to 30-10 in about a minute.

Giants, Cardinals and Panthers all in one-score games

I don't wanna jinx it but Fields has 0 sacks and 0 turnovers.

Now *that* was a legit difference-making play.

This is the Lions' "They are who we thought they were" game and we're the Cardinals.

Did I imagine the red zone feed showing him throwing a pick in the end zone?

What was? We weren't talking about any specific play. Or at least I wasn't.

He needs to give it to himself. He can signal a hot route. I saw Bagent do it.

I can probably get there. Fields put the offense in a long situation, then held the ball too long before dumping off and gave the defense time to swarm.

We're done scoring until garbage time. Detroit's going to keep blitzing and dare Fields to beat it. He will not.

It would be *hilarious* to win this game. I don't think any part of either fandom is mentally prepared to deal with that

Go to 3:27. Steps up in the pocket to defeat the blitz, throws while on the move without setting his feet, throw travels 50 yards downfield and drops straight into the receiver's palms.

Watched the first three quarters and came out with a higher estimation of Caleb Williams than I went into it with. His offensive line was completely overwhelmed, there was absolutely zero running threat. and he was magicianing positive plays out of nothing. He's closing in on 400 yards with a 75% completion rate in a game in which I think literally zero other QBs in college football could come anywhere close to what he's done.

I'm confused. You're putting a second betting unit on the line (1 with Y2K, one with the sportsbook). It's effectively 3:2, when it could have been 2:1. You could have just bet the whole 2k on the 2:1 bet and gotten better expected value. It feels like you're throwing away a banana for every buck you take here.

Fields needs to be gone even if Williams and Maye are off the table. The options will be severely less appetizing and our QB hell will probably continue, but running it back for year 4 of the Fields experiment isn't a better option.

It would be funny if the time off and seeing Bagent operate clicked something for fields

It looks .... Weird. I finally got up the nerve to watch today. Just up to the moment of contact, none of the aftermath. Honestly changed my opinion a little. I was imagining that Johnson was falling and his neck was at knee height or something. But nope, Johnson was completely upright in a normal skating posture. Petgrave tries to slide around another player to get to Johnson as Johnson crosses the blue line. Petgrave ends up in front of Johnson and almost has his back to him. Petgrave is off balance and his skate flies up, it looks like a scorpion kick in soccer or almost a superkick in pro wrestling. My understanding of criminal law is that it should be pretty much impossible to get a conviction. People like to see terms legal terms like "gross negligence" and think they apply to situations when they almost never do. But that play is weirder than I thought it would be. Between pros and rec league (I play and I live near a rink that is a great place to take my autistic kid to be entertained away from crowds) I probably see 10 hockey games a week. I don't think I've ever seen someone's skate come up like that. So I kind of understand why they're investigating. He either lost an edge and reacted in an incredibly unfortunate way, or maybe he was going for something dirty like a knee to knee and that's why his leg was in an awkward position. But the whole thing has turned political online now and I'm sure that had something to do with the arrest. Right-wing trolls are flooding hockey forums. My extremely conservative mom just texted me that she is glad he's been arrested.
