Yes
One the other week and another one this weekend
Thereās been a lot of overreaction on Fields, I reckon. When you watch each pass play, thereās barely a play where he doesnāt have a defender in his face within 3 seconds and barely anyone getting open on his reads. I think Getsyās play calling has been really poor. I think itās possible to win and still develop him, but most of all we need to make sure he isnāt constantly forced to run for downs cos heās gonna get injured at this rate.
Iām thinking now that reality has set in on the bearsā aspirations this year, they will free up the playbook and it will be mission - fields development from now on.
Personally, I think their attitude is play to win and develop Fields within that. I donāt see them going play action more just to help Fields. Against San Fran and Green Bay we were run heavy because they have good defences. Against NY we actually did try to pass a lot because their defence was supposed to be bad. Front office will probably look at QBs like Russel Wilson and figure that heās a hall of fame QB potentially, yet struggling in a new system. If all they cared about was development for Fields they wouldāve drafted differently and also the Hits principle doesnāt really lend itself to not playing to win.
Sweet, my Broncos jags tickets have just arrived! Now I can watch Russell Wilson play like shit in person! Anyone else going, or did anyone go to the Vikes game?
Yep yep
The āincredibleā trevon diggs just got smoked for 54 yards by a guy getting his first nfl catch
Now throw more to kupp, I want a fantasy point record.
Posting to say F U NFL. The ridiculous call on Jarrett sacking Brady was shameful. Shit is turning into WWE.
Agree, that was shocking, Complete clean take down that killed a comeback
Look, Iām sure my sorry Falcons would have blown it somehow, but Jarrett literally tackled him in the most textbook possible. Not low, not high, didnāt drive him, etc. Complete horseshit to effectively end the game like that.
Oh, and Geno Smith was sacked the same way a few minutes later and nothing.
The Tua concussion thing and rule change is having some negative effects on the league.
Certain QBs are getting favorable calls, Brady and Allen come to mind
I appreciate the league pretending to care about safety after the ugly Tua situation.
But if a defender does a textbook tackleā¦
Ridiculous the calls that guy gets.
Play is shown halfway down. Complete garbage.
Smith-Marsette fucked it all up @Dr_Strangepass
But great game from the QB . Shame about the loss
Rams so bad on offence. O-Line unit and run game is easily bottom 5 in the league
Stafford isnāt good enough to overcome that, which is a shame for a $40m QB
He got lucky to be part of such a stacked team and finally get that ring.
I really donāt rate him anywhere near the guys heās hanging with in passing yards.
Of course your OL is busted right now but he simply got paid off the back of the SB and a good connection with Kupp last year.
Hey mate, yeah, really sad, especially as he gave away the penalty that pulled back Justinās insane touchdown run too. Obviously played like gash first half, but second half was so positive. Biggest positives - our coaching staff continue to make excellent half time adjustments (never saw that under Nagy), Fields, surprise surprise, looks really good when in a rhythm, with both his legs and pass. And Kyler Gordon also looked good for the first time. Actually, it was ideal result - run a close game, progress Fields, but just not quite win so we get higher draft picks:)
Exactly
Need that WR next year the draft is looking tasty for them.
All the rookies looked decent in that game
Poles turned 4 draft picks into 9, I think only one of them didnāt make it, the rest are starters and all playing decent. The rebuild is going well thus far.
