It appears not only do we have a Quarterback that is "football stupid", but an entire offense that seems to be. When facing the Redskins, who did not blitz that much, the oline seemed to handle their 1 on 1 matchups ok (vs a really good defensive line) but Flores (who the Bears probably should have hired) threw a bunch of exotic looks at them and collectively they all shit themselves.

Is the majority of this team "football stupid" or is it the coaching?

There were a few plays where the running back was trying to block a DT one on one. That should never happen.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Either the first or second play of the game, bears LG and LT pulled back and ran past the center to the right, and the carry went left right into two unblocked defenders. What the hell was that?

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

people always mock me when I sing the praises of Monty, but he is a back you could put in any situation

On the first play of the game, why doesn't Fields recognize the free rusher, turn that way and quickly unload to the WR on the top of the screen? One tackle missed and that's possibly TD. He really is football stupid. Probably his diet, he is a "VeganFan"

Why does the old guy clock the kid in the Payton jersey when he's not looking?

Alex is getting arrested because a [person] decided to shout his name.

Eberflus appears to love Bagent. I've never heard him talk about Fields the same way.

Unconscious bias?

Poles has also been far more complimentary of Bagent than he has been of Fields.

The Vikings ran a similar play later on in the game where an unblocked rusher came free and all Cousins did was loft the ball over his head to either to tight end or the back that was in the area that the rusher came from. Every team draws up plays that leaves someone unblocked who will come at the quarterback. It’s only unfair when they do it to Justin Fields.

maybe Poles is a racist !!

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Even the announces knew it. They went dead quiet when fields got hit as hard as he did. It was obvious he had no idea the guy was free at all, and that's something that's easy to recognize before every play.

I don't know what you expect these guys to say? "I guess we have to circle the wagons"?

This is the same defensive scheme that Buffalo used to annihilate Fields in his second preseason game as a rookie. He took a devastating hit on that play because he couldn't recognize the blitz off the edge, and he still can't identify the blitz 2+ years later.

He hasn't been that great running this year either

It's just weird because his instincts and vision whiles he's running are outstanding.
