Great designed run by Fields, Roschon and Patrick with great blocks. 

and Fields did a great job of slowing down to set up Kmets block too.

  • Author

Fields with 84 yards passing and 30 yards rushing and a TD. This is the dual threat we have been looking for.

There is the WR screen for the loss, lol Getsy.

Don't put Moore in that position, he don't have strong feet today to get in a phone booth fight.

He did, that looked like the old him. He is running with purpose today.

Hoke is the DB's coach, he is really good.

are there many precedents for keeping position coaches thru a staff change? I seem to remember some when Lovie left. Does anyone know if its common at all?

It definitely happens, probably not common, but not that crazy. This offseason is going to be wild.

Let the new HC pick his staff if you are going to fire Flus. It is not good to handcuff your hire

I really want a defensive shutout, if they are going win, blow this team off the map. 30+ to 0, let's go!

he's had a couple ofgood passes from the pocket, and a few more he was late on. DJ Moore on the play he was injured on, and a nice timing throw to Kmet on the left sideline (not the long pass) were the two examples I saw. They were both in the first drive scripted pre-digested plays though.

I am looking forward to more of them - they are so valuable.

fully agree! Im only saying if the new coaches want them. What youre saying here is 100% right.

Montez Sweat is an actual monster.

he is

Sweat had the best opportunity to do the little man celebration after that deflection of Murray, that may have been the biggest missed opportunity of the season right there.

so when Justin doesnt have great numbers, we can condemn him again. 

Lol … catch 22

That was the most in rhythm throw from Fields maybe ever. The ball was out FAST. Nice.

I like the running game without delays. Quick tosses and handoffs, no BS behind the LOS. OLine and even Patrick are looking good.

He’s not wrong. Stats being what they are.

It’s obvious baiting.

Marcedes Lewis with the TD catch after a triple fake by Fields. What the hell, where has this been all year?

  • Author

Fields is unstoppable like this, you have to either chase him or defend receivers, you can't do both. This is what makes him a franchise QB.

what hes wrong about is that hes saying we here on the board look to criticize Fields unfairly. He is saying that we take things out of context to blame him unfairly.

But I havent seen much of anyone attacking Fields on stats. I've been talking about reading defenses and they dont keep a number on that. Im talking about plays where Fields has guys open and doesnt pull the trigger. If we are running more that doesnt affect that, so the snide comment makes no actual sense. It's just like he's taking criticisms of Fields personally.

It wasnt a comment he was making about Fields or even answering a specific criticism, it was just a fighty, sarcastic personal attack on the character of people on the board. It's a small thing, but for many years they were aimed at me by name, and after a while and hundreds of them they build up to become very childish and unpleasant not to mention disrespectful.

On pretty much every post I make about Fields, I also say he is one of the best broken play QBs of all time. I routinely say that if he added reading defenses, hed be one of the best QBs in the league. I talk about his athletic skills, and his personality. He's likeable. Ive said all that dozens of times.

I've even said you can beat lesser teams with hero ball.

I just wish we could keep the debate to the players and such and not to the character of members of the board.

Last thing Ill say about this: I ramped up obvious over the top personal attacks against this stuff on purpose so that we would finally be told to all stop. If it seems ironic that im calling for no personal attacks, maybe that helps explain it.
