For everyone that had doubts about Field's, this is the first time since we drafted him that I think he may not be the one. No rollouts, no runs , we havbe turned him into a backup QB.

It's been reported a death in family, just not who.

wow, he was never figured much in a passing game where Herbert and Johnson are.

I hope it's not his wife or children, and all; the people giving him crap because of his practice time. I have to look back and see if i said anything stupid. I USUALLY WAIT TO FIND OUT DETAILS BEFORE i SAY SOMETHING STUPID.

It just came out today that he had a death in his family and the preseason issues was someone in his family had been sick. That person just died today. Kinda hard to criticize him when a close family member had issues.

As AZ said we will see a lot of Godwin in the slot.

I think they try to establish the run and a few designated runs by Fields to set up play action. Open the passing game more. I think they have outside runs to try get fatigue on Bucs defense. Listen to Olin on the SCORE and he said they should run the ball over the Davis-Wright side and make Vela chase them.

I find it interesting that Alan Williams wont be traveling to Tampa and Flus will be calling the defensive plays. I seen it posted on several posters on X, I guess something personal is going on, its not a demotion.

After 8 games, the cream of the crop will surface. One game just isn't enough input to make a fair assessment. If it was Chiefs, Bengals and Buffalo are done. They are not.

You will absolutely see effort this week. I think we will be more physical than TB . They will establish the run and some design runs by Fields. Play action, BOOM

Mayfield isnt a good QB. He will make some plays but have to take away the slants and middle of the field . He will turn the ball over. If 4 aint getting there blitz.

For anyone on X (twitter) there is a poster @ImBearingDown has great content. He takes every snap for Bears players and also did Jalen Carter + Paris Johnson for comparisons.

A terrible loss to GB has got the Bear community in an insane state of blame. Its a composite of many things. Claypool seems like a focal point but many played bad that day. I think the team was still in a preseason mold that were not ready to play. That is on the coaches. They had a conservative game plan and didnt take advantage of Fields strengths Several players didnt play well, we didnt lose because of Claypool's effort. We had good effort in the first half with a 10-6 score but some scheme breakdowns in the 3rd quarter doomed us. I think we didnt make adjustments in the second half and GB did. The end of the game had fatigue set in and mental breakdowns. There are always every year a few games that are team losses. Players, coaches, scheme are all to blame. I think the first drive where we failed to make a 4th down got us in a snowball that ended in a bad loss. Sometimes you just have to forget a game and look forward to the next game for both players and fans. We were never going 17-0 , its time to move on.

LAST YEAR WE BEAT SF AND HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS. (FINISHED 3-14) THIS YEAR BIG DISAPPOINT (0-1) THE FIRST GAME DOESNT DICTATE A SEASON.

I think the coaches are scheming like they don't trust him ( or maybe the OL) and not attack down field..

Here's another interesting observation

I would definitely take your scenario but easier to look at now than at the time of those drafts. The year Lucas was drafted ,Jones was the highest rated rookie OT in the class on PFF. Made all rookie and was gotten 2 rounds later. He had Jenkins and Borom already there so maybe he didnt have every thing sorted out yet and was waiting for Braxton . As for Claypool , it definity looks like a bad deal but is still is just the first game of the year.

The later most likely but a little early to judge. Cherry picking specific players for a point is a little unfair at this stage. Even if Claypool and Jones is a bust , if Wright and Dexter turn out to be above average players, those were good picks. Rice still has to prove himself and Carter still could end up being a problem. To early for an evaluation.

I agree with Davis was bad but Whitehair was worse. both had 5 pressures but Davis didnt give up a sack

Seen some people saying J Carter played killer minutes in Philly, he had 1 T and 1 sack. put that to rest going to have to recant on the Carter remark, he also had 6 pressures

I dont think we are as bad we looked yesterday but have a lot of work to do. here is PFF grades for the OL: per PFF. the Bears' O-line was ... not good: Nate Davis -- 9 pressures (pass-block grade of 7.2) Lucas Patrick - 5 pressures Cody Whitehair - 5 pressures, 1 sack, 1 hit Darnell Wright - 5 pressures Braxton Jones -- 1 pressure (grade of 90.4)

By his tape, the ball needs to be out 2 to 2.5 . Im not sure why he waited ? Mooney was open and at 2.0 he could have hit Herbert? Was the scheme a problem when Herbert blocked his vision to throw to Mooney for a split second ?

I find it hard to throw blame to Claypool ( no targets) and Moore ( 2 targets) . Claypool looked bad in one block that had the DB right in his face but I blame that on scheming. He should have been farther out and had a crackback block.

As much as this game was bad it didnt get out of hand until the end of the 3 rd when two GB plays gave them scores with player breakdowns. The fourth quarter seemed like fatigue set in and led to poor play. most of the blame goes to the coaching staff for not having us prepared to play our first game. We have talent in the DBackfield but they were out of position . I think the cover two wasnt working. We need to play more man to man. Everything is correctable , we will have to see what the coaches do to get us ready for this game.

Its a little early to say hot seat but the coaches are building a resume that may not look good by mid season.
