I'm hoping Crosby is able to get past this game mentally and not melt down the rest of the season. It might be easier for him since it was so bad instead of 1 key missed field goal, he can convince himself he was cursed by a tiktok witch or something.

Maybe if teams are going to rough the passer, Nagy can sub in Andy for those plays so Fields isn’t murdered. Defense looked great today and offense did enough. Going to need to score more against the Packers though.

If Crosby missed the final kick I’d be pretty worried but I think he’ll get right next week.

My usual joking and trolling aside for a moment my expectation before the season was that the Bears D would regress enough to put an impossible amount of pressure on Fields. They’ve good enough to keep what the Bears need Fields to be manageable. Still don’t know if Fields is great or just ok, but just ok with that defense wins a lot of games.

Great defense, great special teams, inept offense with occasional flashes of brilliance from the QB. Considering Justin Fields is only a rookie and will likely get better, this is a good sign.

It would be really nice to not have to regularly use 6 linemen to scrape to a solid running game and a bad passing game that still gets the QB hit a dozen times a game I would move heaven and earth to shore up the offensive line this offseason. Sorry ARob; Justin needs life support before he needs weapons

Threeish years ago he missed like 5 and a PAT or two against Detroit and he was fine the rest of the year. Like someone said before he just has a catastrophically bad game every few years. It's the Mason effect.

Offense is bad and hamstrung by a coach terrified of letting a rookie QB do anything and incapable of developing him.

Another point in the "Mason will probably be fine" column is that he can say to himself "I made a majority of my field goal attempts." He can also look at the opposing kicker and note that that guy also missed multiple kicks in a row. There's a lot of room for confidence-salvaging rationalization, I guess.

For those keeping track, it was a good week for Justin Fields in the Fields vs Trubisky rivalry. Up till now it’s been pretty one sided in favor of the NVP. Justin Fields had a solid performance with one touchdown pass, zero picks, and only two sacks. I mean, it was only against the Raiders, but it was fine. Mitchell Trubisky on the other hand had another stellar week helping lead the Buffalo Bills to an impressive 38-20 victory over the mighty Kansas City Chiefs. Now I know you’re thinking, “But Mitchell Trubisky didn’t play today?” Mitchell Trubisky’s superhuman leadership abilities are so powerful he didn’t even need to take the field to guarantee a Bills victory. This is what’s known as advanced stats. By generously allowing Allen to accrue some boring old traditional stats this week, Trubisky continued several remarkable streaks. The Bills remain undefeated in games Mitchell Trubisky takes the field. His insane 100% completion percentage in the regular season remains intact. Zero sacks taken as well, a 111 sack drop from the previous four seasons. Both quarterbacks had a good week, but I’d give the edge to Trubisky by a narrow margin.

The Bears should continue to lean on the run. Just like lose the QB sweep play. I'm honestly fine with the Bears just running the poo poo out of the ball. Extreme Russel Wilson first year vibes. if they are able to get the results they are getting out of the run, they should continue to run. And then let Fields make plays when it counts. Like that Third and (i think) 12, where he fit a pass to Mooney between like 2-3 defenders when they were icing the game away was so loving huge. I don't disagree with Nagy/Lazor's decision to just run the ball on that 3rd and 5, I disagree with the playcall of the dumb loving QB sweep. They should have just handed it to Herbert and let him try for it. I'm happy the Bears seem like they are still able to run against a pretty good Raiders defense without Monty(plz come back soon tho) But the Bears are a running football team, that is what their personnel is, they should continue to run the ball and play ball control offense.

The Lions deciding before the season to convince several WR4-tier guys that they can be WR1-tier guys was a bold strategy. This is the worst WR corps i’ve ever seen in my life and, i’ve seen Keary Colbert and Mike Williams catch passes from Lions QBs. Gonz fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Oct 11, 2021 |

Gonz posted:The Lions deciding before the season to convince several WR4-tier guys that they can be WR1-tier guys was a bold strategy. They aren't banking on this year at all. After 2022/2023, there's an out in Goff's contract for only $10M dead money. I expect the thought process was "Goff is the definition of a bridge QB", see if any of the WRs are anything more than they thought, and the passing game will go through RB/TE. Goff has been bad. The team has been unfortunate. They probably shouldn't be 0-5. But they definitely are treating this year as a semi-tryout for skill positions

Totally agree. But it’s still fascinating that the WR room is Amon-Ra St. Brown and then a bunch of XFL third stringers. At this rate, they might want to promote some practice squad guys and see if literally any of them can *checks notes looking down my glasses at a note card*……”create separation”.

Gonz posted:The Lions deciding before the season to convince several WR4-tier guys that they can be WR1-tier guys was a bold strategy. I just looked, and *holy poo poo* you're right. - Tyrell Williams: 2015 UDFA who had one 1,000+ yard season in 2016, barely. Did not play in 2020 due to injury. Concussed in Week 1 and hasn't played since. I guess he was going to be the #1 receiver since he had one decent season five years ago? - Quintez Cephus: 2020 fifth-round pick with 20 catches last season. Has 15 catches this season, including two touchdowns. - Amon-Ra St. Brown: 2021 fourth-round pick. Has 19 catches this season. - Kalif Raymond: 2016 UDFA with 19 catches over the last five seasons. Has 14 catches this season, including two touchdowns. - KhaDarel Hodge: 2018 UDFA with 17 catches over the last three seasons. Has three catches this season. - Trinity Benson: 2019 UDFA with zero catches over the last two seasons. Has six catches this season. - Tom Kennedy: 2019 UDFA with zero catches that season. Out of the league in 2020. Has zero catches this season. I was laughing at the poster who was mad that Cephus (who I'd never heard of before) got injured, but yeah, that guy's like a third of your passing offense. This is the most bargain-bin, "front office is trying to tank" nonsense I've ever seen. Jared Goof is a loser but he's also getting boned. This has to be the worst receiver corps in modern league history, even at full health.

Yeah, it's funny, the Lions tried to build a top O-Line and neglect WR thinking that would work out ok in that the run game and pass pro would help Goff. Then all the bad WR got hurt and replaced with worse ones and the O-line has also had catastrophic injuries. So Goff hasn't had much of a chance, but has squandered what chance he's had.

Yeah, its the smart thing to do with the current personnel; I just wish it wasn't the best option for the Bears offense. (Or at least that our o-line was good enough at pass blocking to ensure the conservative extra-blocker approach to offense didn't still get Fields hit a dozen times a game against teams with a solid pass rush)
