Yep, it really does open up everything, because if they key on guy in motion, Fields can take it; if they key on Fields, he can give it to Herbert, or play action pass after the bite. The one thing they need to work on is having the O-Line at least block a little before releasing. There are too many free runners, but that can be fixed.

Fields:

More designed runs, Fields got down or out of bounds on most. They were very timely too. We had barely seen any of these yet, which made it easier to defend. Now everyone had to account for him to just take off at the snap. That is different than a scramble. This is what makes defending Lamar so tough. As long as they don't over do it, this is only going to help.

Did we just watch the tables turn on MNF? Are people starting to believe Fields is better than Jones finally? Jones has been terrible this year and was masked last year by a lot of factors. Now with Zappe, who may not be great, but looks better than Jones. Zack Wilson is still throwing for under 150 yds and Lawrence goes from a 300 yard game to multiple INTs. So is it a reach to say Fields is at least in the conversation as the best 2nd year QB, especially considering the talent around him?

Yeah, the entire coaching staff. I don't know if we could ever say the Bears out coached anyone since Lovie, and the Bears did it with all units and time management.

The designed runs for Fields was the missing piece. Now defenses not only have to worry about him scrambling, but now they have to account for him from the snap as a runner. This is what I needed to see. I have not been impressed with some of the play designs but his play calling tonight was his best game yet. Very few plays were predictable outside of a few runs.

They already said "the Bears won't have 10 days to prepare every week" lmao. They have now allowed 35 pts in the 2nd half all season, averaging 5 pts allowed per game in the 2nd half. The one constant has been solid halftime adjustments on defense. I loved the designed runs for Fields. That adds an element that defenses have to account for vs just scrambling. Now they have to spy him and that should open up more passing lanes.

Santos is money as long as they don't make him kick a 63 yarder like idiot Nagy did. Even though Pettis dropped one, he looks much better than Velus out there. I am still waiting for the Velus jet sweep. Bears can put this away with a TD.

Yep, exactly, 2 score lead and the ball. Burn clock and get some pts. Probably need 30 to win this one.

Roquan with a huge sack, almost killed Zappe. Great call by Williams there.

Yeah it's terrible. Bears with another decent drive and get pts. I am still waiting on them giving Borom help.

I didn't expect 20-14 halftime lead and getting the 2nd half kickoff. The O-Line is still an issue, I don't know why they are not giving Borom some help with Judon. The blown coverages are concerning. They need to fix that and not let up anymore deep passes.

Wow, ok, this is what we have been waiting for. Arguably the best drive of the year. Monty with a Sweatness run, a great mix of passes and runs, Fields runs it in for a TD, Bears 10-0.

Great start, defense forces 3 and out, then offense drives down field and get 3 pts. Fields looks pretty good, one miss to St Brown, but he needs to make a better attempt at the pass. Monty dropped a pitch. Several rollouts, which was nice to see.

At this point, I have seen absolutely nothing from Getsy that says he can develop Fields (or any other offensive player), or that his play calling and scheme work. I have not seen it yet and after 6 games, you would hope to see some progress. Technically the WAS game was one of the worst with only 7 points scored. I hope he improves.

Yeah, its almost like that offense needs an elite QB and WR1 to work. Kinda scares me because they should be molding the offense around the players they have.

QBs who threw for under 150 yds in Week 7: Lamar Jackson 9-16, 120 yds Zach Wilson 16-26, 121 yds Marcus Mariota 8-13, 124 yds Ryan Tannehill 13-20, 132 yds QBs with under 150 passing yards the last two weeks (totals): Zach Wilson 26-44, 231 yds Marcus Mariota 21-27, 253 yds compare to: Fields 29-48, 398 yds INTs Matt Ryan - 9, on pace for 22 Matt Stafford - 8, on pace for 23 Kenny Pickett 7 INTs in 127 attempts Lamar Jackson 6 INTs in 197 attempts Mac Jones 5 INTs in 97 attempts Jameis Winston 5 INTs in 115 attempts Justin Fields 5 INTs in 115 attempts Fields not great, but every game he doesn't throw for 250 brings out the old narrative.

Week 7 Draft slot: Win = 14th Loss = 9th

This season is weird, Jets 5-2, Pats 3-3 in last. LVR 2-4 after getting Adams, DEN 2-5 after getting Wilson (they were supposedly a QB away last year). LAC added Mack, but still lost to JAX and SEA, while barely beating CLE and DEN. Their other wins are against LVR (2-4) and HOU (1-4-1). The Giants are 6-1, yet not in first (PHI 6-0). CAR fires HC, trades top players, then wins. DET was supposed to be much improved and are 1-5 (4-18-1 since last season). GB 3-4 and already 2.5 GB for division. TB is 3-4 but still the division leader, lol. Somehow SEA is 1st in West at 4-3 with no other team with a winning record (LAR 3-3 = look terrible, SF 3-4 = how's that CMC trade working out, ARZ 3-4 = Kyler is tiny). What sucks for the Bears, this was one of those crazy years to make some noise. Even if it was beating NYG and WAS, even though technically they should have beaten MIN too. 4-2 would be WC #3 right now and would play MIN, the current #1 seed. The #3 seed is SEA lol.

It's Patrick and ESB, huge losses. ?

I know it's his first game but it's kinda funny that Wilson had a better day rushing than McCaffrey (7-54 vs 8-38). SF just traded for a RB with a massive salary, to be a starter and play worse than the guy they wanted him to replace. Lynch and Shanahan, just like Lafleur are overrated.

Wilson today: 16-26, 121 yds, 4.7 YA, a week after 10-18, 110 yds. 231 passing yds in 2 games, yet when Fields had 2 games like that, the entire media establishment ripped him.

Gotta love the numbers his ex-WRs (Adams/MVS) put up today, 11-206 yds, which were more yards than Rodgers had passing today.

Absolutely, that's why we can have some hope. Seattle looked terrible in the preseason and everyone thought they would suck without Wilson. Well, they fleeced Denver and now have a ton of picks and a decent team.

and somehow Geno Smith is now an All-Pro QB and his leading receiver is Marquise Goodwin who has as many TDs today (2) as his last two seasons combined. It is just crazy how the Bears can't use a guy and he magically shows up somewhere else and produces. Kevin White has 1 reception for 64 yds. His 64 yds receiving would be 6th on the Bears for this season.
