I'm hitting the eject button. Im not a pessimist. I am an optimist - the next thing HAS to be better.

Observe Love the NFL QB operating an offense when it matters. He's not even THAT good. That's how low our bar is and why we are fooled into thinking Fields is worth keeping. We arent used to seeing professional QBs.

depends on how fast the ball comes out though too - if it was already out, then the defender would have been late. Fields is operating out of the gun, so that gives him a second.

Yep. remember, this was Fields' big audition to show us that his whole career here wasnt his fault, and that last week was the true JF, only seen once.

i agree. really bad coaching on the DC.

you can easily see we are on our way to losing this game. we are definitely being outcoached. We've beaten some bad teams and now we are drunk on having gone from terrible terrible to just eh. But if you had to choose a QB today for a game today, would it be Fields or Love? And Love isnt even that good. I hope someone at the top is looking for accountability, because I dont see why we want to retain everyone. And speaking of coaching, theres a 4th and 1 from your OWN side of the 50, from shotgun and running up to the line which brings the defense to the POA. Whether he gets it by an inch or loses it by an inch thats a bad coaching gamble.

I love Stevenson

got Flus on the no huddle. players didnt know whether they should come off or not because the call wasnt in fast enough. Its just a first half time out so it doesnt matter. But

Big zone big hole big gain ouch. they had another WR wide open even deeper too.

perfect. We're supposed to keep Eberflus because as head coach, hes doing a good job as DC. Well this isnt a terrible offense. THey have good offensive coaches. Let's see the playcalling battle coming up here and see if Eberflus is a difference making coach? Will he even win the rock paper scissors battle 2 out of 3?

Weve been asking the wrong WRs to be point of attack all year. The head coach could say something if he saw it and wanted to change it all these weeks.

I think it's funny that Romo is praising Getsy so hard and couldnt even say his name correctly earlier in the game LOL And Romo's not an idiot - he definitely knows football. But it just shows you how pundits and announcers just reenforce narratives theyre given or read somewhere. And Im not blaming them, thats their job, but its why you cant really take it like its real analysis.

two quick reads from the pocket in a row to Scott and Moore. Good.

now we can see Fields off the script. the audition begins. he had a great one to St Brown, but that was in the script. lets see...

and a great play by Stevenson too - the defensive roster is pretty damned good.

Looks like the defense is being outcoached so far.

this is where Im ending up too. I did see some flashes so it is possible Fields will blossom next year, but right now, his footwork is still so bad its not a good bet to make.

I totally agree, with one caveat. Last week Fields showed some actual work from the pocket. *IF* that improves, he could be really good. But right now, and especially before last week, you're 100% correct. I like Penix right now if he's medically cleared. That guy is amazing.

I think both teams should blitz more than usual tomorrow, for different reasons.

good point.

Ill add this - Pix please do continue to respond here, and to everyone. I am not sensitive about disagreement. say my ideas are dumb and all youll get back from me is a fact based argument. Its FINE. Please fire away! I'm just saying, in general, not to Pix or anyone in specific - that I dont personally decide a player or coach that I hate (or love) and then cherry pick data to fit it. I think you all saw my reaction to last weeks game. It changed my entire view of Fields. It didnt go from hate to like - it went from really awesome at some things but lacking in others to maybe the other skills are possible with more growth. And I went from 100% trade him to Im not sure. So any arguments about me being negative as a baseline, or hating a player or coach are just not true. But even if you say that or something like that Im still not gonna get mad about it. I got mad at one person for something that went on for many years, until I had to punch back. Whether anyone gets that or not, you will still not see me use bad words or fight with anyone else. You gotta really try over an extended period of time to get me angry, and Pix surely didnt do that here. Anyway, I knew being misunderstood this way was gonna be part of the price for punching back at Stinger. So be it. Its still preferable to the other options. But to those who can, if youve decided Im a jerk or whatever int he last few months, I get it, but it's not true, and maybe given time people will see that too?

me too - and either hes GOOD in which case our coaches have been making a big mistake keeping him from starting, or they know from practice that hes not as good. Ive been wanting to see him for weeks, because we need to know what we have there going into offseason. But maybe he is a weak link. He does have the awesome mullet and stache. thats gotta count for something!

lol he did finally make some in rhythm throws from the pocket last week. First time Ive seen that outside of the scripted plays. His drops were more urgent too, so thats good to see. I watched JT OSullivans tape and he made some good points about bad footwork. Fields is such a mystery. Two years from now he could be terrible and not starting anywhere, or burning up the league, and it's really hard to see which since they are both so possible. But hell yeah, if the light comes on for Fields and he adds all that superhero stuff to a potent in rhythm passing attack Im totally buying his jersey Ive never disliked Fields the person. He seems really nice, hard worker - you want to root for him. but damn he makes it hard to love him sometimes LOL

Looks like Patrick is on IR, and Kramer is coming up. Id sure like to get a look at him. Wish we saw him weeks ago, but I dunno what the coaches are seeing in practice. Hopefully it's not something that messes up our last chance to evaluate Fields - that would be awful.
