lol @ the announcers "a really great job of Justin Fields hanging in the pocket" I swear, announcers, sportswriters and PFF are all liars. And it's not like Troy Aikman doesnt know QBing. It's just the way the product is sold.

LOL they dont even try to get a TD from there. Can we put the Fields talk to bed now?

could you imagine? he might.

lol

There ya go. Signature. Hero ball turnover. No joke: I would rather start Trubisky on the next drive if there is one.

Fields isnt dumb. He knows that this play calling means they dont trust him too. OMG another screen. Fields must be so humiliated / angry.

Yup - touchdown MIN. Textbook Cover 2 as well - look at the replay. It looks just like it does on the chalkboard. No twists, not games, perfect vanilla cover 2 spacing - attack the middle seam with a TE - touchdown. Let Urlacher (or Edmunds) run with the seam route, it's a totally different outcome. Tampa 2 > Cover 2 Flus!

for sure thats the upside of it, increase his trade value. But we'd better not be thinking about keeping him. That kool aid is poison.

and the sportswriters will use those stats to create this whole narrative that just confuses people into thinking we should keep him for another year. Because the question "keep him or not?" makes great headlines and articles and gets clicks. But if youre watching the game, the decision has to have been already made. His own coaches dont want him, and that's clear from the play calling.

UGH that is exactly what Im talking about. You have the field goal to go up two scores, Fields tries to play broken play hero ball, which works some percentage of the time and is very exciting, but a good defense will punish you for it too. It's high risk, medium reward. A bad bet, especially there. You give Fields just a tiny bit of responsibility and this is what he does. THeres a reason they dont trust him, and if they played him like a normal QB, we'd be seeing it all over the place. For all we know Getsy is great and has been working his ass off to hide Fields.

lol this team does more for their stats with less actual productivity than any Ive ever seen

lol

true, but I like that they're starting to feel it.

Edwards and Edmunds flying around tonight. Ha and another INT! and JJ set it up. It feels like since Sweat got signed we've been looking a lot better on D, and the players are starting to believe in themselves.

I agree. The whole defensive draft this year is coming along well. And so is Wright. Great draft by Poles this year.

yeah in the stats its gonna look like Fields did a lot of good things. But with the exception of the scripted first drive, it's all smoke and mirrors. So I think that the scripted first drive has been good for us a lot this season. Is it possible that Fields takes extra time to work on those plays so he can read them faster? I think maybe that's his problem, he isn't processing enough?

Oh come ON another bubble screen?! Really? They were showing blitz, we were in trips right and were seeing three DBs across from them each isolated with rubs and slants a plenty. Pathetic. And you know there has to be a reason. No one just forgets most of the passing offense exists in their playbook. Getsy is doing it on purpose. And there is a reason.

hahahaha UGH

He holds the ball SO long.

Ok so that was a pass play with intermediate routes, and Fields held on to the ball too long, didnt get it out fast and had to roll out and throw it away.

it's so true. I dont mean to harp on it but they have to really not trust Fields to make reads. Defense playing tough though - that's good to see.

Once again: Eddie Jackson sucks. QB discussions aside, our first two needs are OC and FS

Right they do anything but ask Fields to stand in the pocket and make a read.

exactly! you throw a slant to the hole the blitzing LBer left - thats high school football stuff. It requires standing int he pocket and making a read. The Bubble screen is a readless throw, I am surprised Fields threw that ball into the DEs chest. But he wasnt reading, its a scripted throw. The west coast blitz beating stuff youre talking about (and I agree) takes a QB and a WR (or TE to Grizz's point) to read it together. Maybe Getsy it hiding a weakness? Or maybe he's just an idiot. Or could be both LOL

Gary Crowton, John Shoop, Msrk Trestman, Matt Nagy, Luke Getsy - hey bubble screens all the time!
