This is a good no-nonsense review of Bagent’s plays. One observer pointed out when he threw it was to his first read, minus one. https://x.com/imbearingdown/status/1713946333457834443?s=46&t=KrpJmhSTc4DI1sACtjisOQ

Uhm…?. Phil Snow is the new ‘Defensive Strategist’ (or whatever Eberflus called it).

Being a Fields sympathizer, he did what he had to win. The Broncos game was more a defensive letdown (aka coaching issue) and due to their having third stringers playing in key positions. They gave up a 21 point lead. Washington has one of the top (if not THE top) front four linemen in all of defense. He also had 2 turnovers, one of which resulted in a score. Let's see how he does against LV (or any other opponent after that) when they have some tape on how Bagent vs Fields runs the offense. One thing from the outset we know about him is he doesn't have the elusiveness Fields does and a bit of a noodle arm in comparison.

Hmm… ok. Mahomes currently leads QB in total rushing yards and this article even notes his 4.8 speed. And some would say Montana was a true pocket passer, Young not so much. But maybe tomato, tomahto. ??‍♂️ https://www.forbes.com/sites/jefffedotin/2023/10/03/the-kansas-city-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-is-running-more-than-ever/amp/

Wasn’t Steve Young considered one of the first QBs to run a lot? And I’d think Mahomes is considered mobile. ??‍♂️

I’m still ready to throw in the towel yet. For me it’s hard to go from how the offense looked for the first two games then followed up with the two game performance Justin showed us against Denver and Washington. To me yesterday was more about a potential concussion that may have slowed his reflexes . A few here observed even in the designed run plays he looked sluggish. This kid was setting franchise and NFL records even this year yet somehow we’re convinced we need to throw out the baby with the bath water . There’s no doubt Justin’s struggled at certain times but so has the oline (missing starters) and defense (playing with third stringers). And then there’s the ever present “three WR sceens in a row” Getsy. I’m not on board with Williams being the savior either. He showed what he’s like playing against ranked teams this last weekend.

If in fact dislocated, he’s probably out 4-6 weeks.

Thank you sir. Justin appears to be doing better than even I thought. You know Vick (part 2) seemed like a better player than the original version. Maybe the maturity aspect? He sure could sling it.

And from what it appears, Flores’ defense is a blitz happy bunch. They’re lower tier on the pass coverage and about average on stopping the run. Thing is they don’t have the same horses that Washington does along the front. Should be interesting.

You have a formula readily available to show how Vick might compare here? If not I’ll do the slow math. I’m curious s because I see a lot of Vick when I see Fields play. He’s almost a McNabb / Vick hybrid prototype it would seem .

I suspect Minny will be focusing a lot on DJ this game (can’t imagine why) and perhaps draw extra coverage his way. Because of that I feel Mooney will have a good stats game. He’s been off just a tick these last few games. He’s due.

I suspect they’ll be a handful more run-design plays for Justin this week. If Foreman is able to get going I’d agree with AZ that more play action and screens will be in order.

All I can say is “oof”. Anybody here able to fill in as an RB this weekend?

I’ve watched a few of these Chase Daniel breakdowns. He is favorable to Justin and sometimes contradicts himself (in one part of the video he says Justin had a clean pocket most of the night then later he say he was under pressure all night). But his dissection of the routes run and (improved) play calling gives a good perspective from what he’s seeing as a former NFL QB.

Yes it’s PFF and the creepy Chris Collingsworth but still cool to see three Bears in the top 10.

Moore’s in rarified air.

That’s a defense and coaching thing…not a Justin thing. ?

I suspect we’ll see something like we have the last two games where the Bears come out and score 21-28 points in the first quarter or two. Then itll be up to the defense to keep them at bay for most of the second half. It’ll be close but I feel the bears will pull out a win…something like 28-24.

Confirmation of Gordon status. Allegedly was supposed to start practicing today. And read elsewhere that Jackson may be back for this week too.

And to all this I would agree. And Getsy needs to keep making good calls and the line needs to keep blocking good too.

That was the point of getting Moore. So he could be the Diggs to Allen or AJ Brown to Hurts. ?

Things are trending positively for Gordon and Johnson (CB).

A couple “records” to consider. Second QB in Bears history to throw 250 or more yards in first quarter. First QB in Bears history to throw 16 consecutive passes and a few other notes..
