Fields had a 71.5 Passer Rating and 65.5 QBR against ARZ. ARZ was ranked 32d in Defensive DVOA. He now has a 85.6 QB Rating, 23rd among QBs with enough passing attempts to qualify. For QBR, he slide up slightly to 44.9 which is 22nd, just behind Derek Carr and Russell Wilson, and just ahead of Sam Howell. QBR 50.0 is average. I think Fields has made Poles decision a lot easier than it should've been. Poles just needs to sift thru all the other noise (O-Line play, Receivers, play caller, injury) and figure out what is best for the team. As long as he is GM, he ain't getting the first pick again. If he messes this up, he is fired in 2 years.

I was thinking about that. It will be interesting to see what these teams do. Going thru the QBs, Stafford and Purdy seem to be the two best, then a drop off.

Same as before, some good, some bad. Not all on him, but still feels inconsistent. Moore got hurt, Kmet got hurt, so options were limited. He made the most of the scrambles. Ended up relying on defense to make a turnover on downs stand in the ARZ territory to basically seal it. Bad INT took away an amazing scramble play.

The Bears and the Falcons, cue the Spiderman meme. Both teams are super inconsistent week in and week out. The Falcons beat the Colts 29-10, a week after losing to the Panthers 9-7. They beat GB 25-24 but lost to WAS 24-16. They beat TB 16-13, but lost to ARZ 25-23. They may be the most jekyll and hyde team in the NFL. Both teams still in the hunt with ATL at 7-8 looking to get to .500 while the Bears are hanging on by a Bear claw at 6-9, looking to get to 7-9. The Flus defense is a lot like the Colts who just got torched. The O/U is only 38. I expect it to be over 40. I am going to say Bears 24-18 (Bears can't win when opponents scores more than 21).

The top 3 at this point are Williams, Maye, and MHJ. I am assuming Fashanu is top 5, then you have Bowers, Latu, Newton, Nabers, Alt, Odunze, McKinstry, Robinson, and Verse. The Bears will get two of those players listed, one of the top 3, and one from the group after Fashanu. I am assuming Bowers, Newton, and Nabers will also be gone before #11. That leaves Latu, Alt, Odunze, McKinstry, Robinson, and Verse.

Last 5 games: 96-160, 60.0%, 945 yds (189/g), 4 TD, 3 INT; 58-348 (69.6/g), 2TD with rushing yards, he is averages 258 yds per game and 1.2 TDs per game. 2 of the INTs were hail marys.

A win is a win, but it's another game where the win occurs when the opponent scores 20 or less. At least we going into Christmas with a win and not feeling crappy all week. They need to strap up and get ready for ATL who just beat down IND 29-10. I was hoping for a game like that for the Bears. Every game is a playoff game now.

I have the Bears winning one more, which would lock them into #11. Basically the Bears will draft #7 with 6 wins, #11 with 7 wins, or between #14 and #16 with 8 wins.

As much as I like the arm talent, all the other stuff scares me. Painting fingernails, not talking to media after losses, can a young guy like that command a team of men as the leader? Time will tell. Poles has a tough decision coming up.

Merry Christmas, Bears win. Besides winning their last two, the Bears need this help: Week 16 Eagles beat Giants Week 17 Giants beat Rams Steelers beat Seahawks Vikings beat Packers Week 18 Falcons beat Saints Cardinals beat Seahawks 49ers beat Rams

Thank God, two score lead with a minute left. If they were going to win, I was hoping for a blowout and huge game, but this game gives Poles a great picture on what he needs to do going into the offseason.

That pick was awful and the only reason why the Moore pass even occurs. If they score instead of the pick the game is already over.

Having a inferior Center doesn't help.

Finally! A 3rd Down conversion when the game is on the line. Now they can burn the clock, score some points and put this game away.

he should be, he is the worst playcaller in the league since Matt Canada got fired.

They drop out and they run right to that space. It is crazy how wide open they are leaving the check down.

They could do that all the way down the field. I have no idea why they don't have at least one guy running a dig every play.

Seriously, 3 and out, can't get a yard, Tonyan whiffs on a block. Getsy has to go. Just run the ball. No trust in Fields. They keep taking it out of his hands.

8 point game. The offense has to get some pts. 6 minutes left, end this game. This game is way to close.

They are losing this again.

Holy late flag, what the hell is going on? Second phantom call.

Now the defense needs to step up and stop the bleeding.

That two game sequence is a microcosm of Fields career. Amazing highlight reel run, 100% on him with amazing athletic display. Then turns around and throws a bad pick, underthrown. Now Cards have life.

Ugh, RZ INT. Exactly what you couldn't have. This is the inconsistency, amazing run followed up by a terrible INT.

This is the escapability we have been waiting for, amazing run. Scott had the block at the end too, so close.
