Not everyone OLineman can be a top 10 pick. Braxton Jones is out, which makes the line look much worse. With Jenkins back and Nate Davis, they really just need a Center, but that would come in the 2nd-4th round. If they have an opportunity to take the best QB, and your QB room is still undecided, you have to draft one to reset the timeline. Otherwise, if they ride with Fields, Poles could be gone by next year. My assumption is this entire staff gets axed this offseason, then they bring in a younger offensive-minded HC and pair him with an older DC. This would sync the coaching staff with the QB, something that has been off for years (since Cutler).

Getting thrown to the wolves is never a good place to be for a rookie backup. Let's now see what he can do with a week of prep as QB1. If he struggles against LVR, then we will have a better idea of the source of the problem.

This is a bad team, they don't even need to try to lose, they will do it regardless. They are now back in 2nd at 1-5 now passing the Broncos due to SoS. Panthers are 0-6 at #1. They have LVR, LAC, NO before CAR. More than likely will be 1-8 when they play an 0-8 CAR team. This is also why you don't fire anyone in season, just let this dumpster fire keep going.

and either way gets hurt like today, from the pocket. He is taking way too many hits.

I am still not sold. Seattle did a similar thing when Carroll first got there and turned over the entire roster in 2 years. It's not like the roster will change (besides deadline trades) before the end of the year, so this is the same team after 2 years. A dip was expected last year, but this year there should be visible improvement and we have seen that for maybe 3 quarters out of the last 24.

Improvement is not linear, but it also shouldn't be so volatile. There are very few average games for Fields. He is either really good or really bad. The defense held the Vikings to 13 pts. If Bagent's fumble doesn't get returned for 6, the Bears were in FG range to take the lead before that duck INT.

Damn he had Moore, arm got hit. Moore came all the way back to force a fumble but not enough offensive players in pursuit to grab the fumble. This is still a badly coached, weak rostered team. Poles built this and we are now a year and a half into this and the team is arguably worse than it was when he took over. Outcoached every game. Now knowing they will run the ball, you now can't stop them.

Regardless of outcome, when the Bears defense purposely applies pressure, it works almost every time and they look great. When they rush 3 or 4 and drop everyone else back, the other team picks them apart.

Too small of a sample size right now, but if he leads another TD drive and the Bears take the lead?

Yeah, things have to be much cleaner and clearer for Fields to play well in the pass game. Bagent may not be the guy, but he is a guy that looked much better in the pocket.

So Bagent back to back completions to Moore, now Moore getting checked out on the sideline.

Unfortunately, we are done with the season a month earlier than last season. Fields will more than likely go on IR. There is no point bringing him back quickly if you are 1-5. There is even a remote chance they shut him down for the year to preserve his trade value. So he may have played his last snap as a Bear as crazy as that sounds.

Getsy is an idiot. Just watch Minnesota, they have 7 guys blocking 4 and receivers are still open.

Whether it is by design or not, Bagent does look more crisp and decisive passing the ball. Results are the same though.

Have to take those shots. Terrible snaps by Whitehair. Messing up the timing.

Bagent gets stripped, returned for a TD. Why is Getsy making Evans, 180 lbs RB block a DL. The last two turnovers for the Bears were caused by an RB trying to block a DL by design.

Bagent in. First play, super quick pass to the outside, complete.

Yeah, he landed awkwardly with a 250 lbs dude on him. That is normally a wrist injury. If he is in that much pain, it is more than a sprain.

Now Fields is hurt, he landed hard on his throwing hand awkwardly after trying to throw the ball away.

Fields looks slower or tired. In most of his runs this year, I have noticed he doesn't have that juice he had last year when he was breaking those long ones. He is also not throwing the ball again, got sacked again, and landed hard on his throwing hand.

Edwards is playing a great game.

No innovation. This was the game after the mini-bye. They had extra time to prepare, and that is what Getsy came up with for a game plan.

For all the shit talking, Brisker can't cover anyone. Got beat 3 straight times for 50+ yards and a TD on that last drive.

Yeah should've been a penalty on the WR. These refs suck.

Unfucking believeable. Bears defense just folds like a wet napkin, allows a 70 yard TD drive in under a minute.
