I’m torn on this. Yes I agree it is important for someone like Fields to learn under fire but at what cost? At this point all teams need to do is focus on pressuring him and not give him any time to process anything. And what’s worse with him being sacked as much as he has been its only a matter of time before he gets injured. A few times now while scrambling he’s taken some awkward steps that at some point won’t end up well. This is not at all good for him. At this point I think having Dalton take over would be better for Fields’ development. He would need to understand that due to the current circumstances he’s be better off learning from watching and learning than by being under constant fire. I think he’s mature enough to understand that. I don’t think Nagy should be the one making that decision or call but rather whomever the interim HC is. Preferably Mike Pettine.

Saw this elsewhere. Apparently Jason Peters does better at updates than does Nagy. Also speculated that ‘Jenkins will be back in a few weeks.’

Null

There were at least two long throws that White had beat coverage on and Winston just overthrew him both times. Would’ve been at least one TD.

Watching tonight’s game with Jamal Adams playing Safety the way it supposed to be done. ☹️ …and there was a Kevin White sighting!

Indeed. What’s sad is he gets 100 yards on the ground (the first that’s happened this year to the Bucs) and not one TD. No way to motivate him or any of the other players, especially the linemen, to play hard.

You’re not alone. Lol.

Wow that Jaylon Johnson sure is impressive on coverage.

Any chance they could have Nagy and Romo switch jobs?

Simmons needs to sit.

I hate to say it but If the offense does nothing this series (after 2nd TB tD) probably time to bring in Dalton.

Another “ouch”. Can’t catch a break on the oline. Hambright does have experience as OLT for Oklahoma State and Colorado when in college.

Yeah my ‘bust’ and yeah he needs to stay out awhile.

With Belichick as the coach, not all that surprising. I hate to give Josh Daniels credit too but he does pretty good as an OC. Much better than Nagy. And NO WAY NO HOW would I ever want Daniels as HC in Chicago.

And another year of Nagy and Pace…right? ??? But really, if the Bears win…we win as fans.

Think his (Hicks) hammy injury could be a longer term issue. Good to see Williams back. He’s a good alternative runner to Herbert.

I read through his post and still not really sure what the context is. But it appears he struck a sympathetic nerve with some race issues in Wisconsin.

The fact that the defensive secondary as a whole is the weakest link is the issue. That’s where Desai got his start. Jackson hasn’t been good since 2018, the last year Fangio was around. It’s like the biggest issue with the team overall is the offensive production and that’s where Nagy got his start. Don’t get me wrong, Desai’s doing a pretty good job with the defense right now but it could be mostly due to the players in the front 7. We’d need to see more from him before he was considered a HC.

??☝️ This.

I have a strange feeling it’ll be closer, like 21-17 and really think either team could win. Yeah I know it’s crazy to suggest but I don’t see a walk-away win from TB.

Ouch. I read elsewhere that Williams remains on the COVID list.

He had a 12-4 record and made the playoffs year one. Then regressed to an 8-8 record the following year. Year three he again managed an 8-8 record BUT made the playoffs. So far this year he’s gotten a .500 record (at 3-3). By record alone he’s very nearly the definition of mediocrity. But the question is…if Fields pieces together a string of wins regardless of whose making the calls, can you simply let go of Nagy? Never mind a winning season but IF they make the playoffs? Last time the team fired a coach with a winning record was Lovie when he went 10-6. Understand I’m no longer a fan of Nagys. Not even as the HC. But IF the team manages to win more than it loses, can you just let him go? If so, how do you make the case? It might come down to how the offense ranks at the end of the season. Considering this is his expertise (offense) right now the offense ranks dead last or close to last in almost all major offensive categories.

Speaking as a devil’s advocate (sorta), if Fields improves and the team wins isn’t that a good thing? What if then?

I can’t swear by it but if I recall, Nagy was carrying a scaled down play card for most of the game. I’m pretty sure I saw him with it during the 1st quarter. It definitely wasn’t the size of Dennys menu like what he normally carries. I don’t recall him ever holding it up to his face between plays so I’m thinking it was more a prop. But I can’t swear he didn’t call plays for the 2nd and 3rd quarter. For as awful as the team played during that time it sure seemed like it. Another thing to take note in is are the off field exchanges between Fields and Nagy. There’s definitely a Cutler-Mike Tice vibe there. Back when Trubiksy played whenever he’d come off the field and Nagy ran to talk with him, Trub would appear to hang on his every word. Not so much with Justin. I’ve picked up on it a few games now; especially after Lazor started calling plays. This video reminded me of it.

Who knows, maybe Brady will forget how to get to the stadium and show up at Gillette Stadium instead? I mean he did lose track of downs when we played each other last year. Dudes getting old like most of us. Anything’s possible.
