2022-2023 NFL Season

Terrible clock management down the stretch lost the game for The Bucs today

Brady doesn't know how to use the clock.

[MU82]

Panthers win currently puts the Bears at #2 in the draft.

We can't even lose right!

Actually, Darnold looked pretty sharp playing behind a good OL and supported by a strong run attack.

Good. Eff Brady.

[Dish]

He probably won't win it because his team isn't good, but Maxx Crosby should be in the conversation for DPOY,

Fields vs Love next week?

Fields vs Love next week?

I've heard Fields won't be back (potentially) until after the bye week.

[MU82]

Yesterday was the first chance I got to see Russell Wilson for an entire game. He was tentative, had happy feet and was inaccurate. His only TD drive came during garbage time. He was significantly outplayed by Sam Darnold. If I didn't know it was Wilson, I'd have wondered, "Who's this scrub the Broncos have at QB?"

The Athletic (and others) are saying it might turn out to have been the worst trade in NFL history. (Or the best, from Seattle's POV.)

[Dish]

I still can't believe this Colts team beat the Chiefs and almost beat the Eagles.

[PGsHeroes32]

That clock management by Saturday should be fireable.

Thats what happens when you hire a guy out of ESPNs offices out of nowhere.

Mind boggling.

[tower912]

Oh, no, Antonio.

[Hards Alumni]

Oh, no, Antonio.

Jail and physical/mental health evaluation.

This man 100% has CTE and will be dead in five years if he runs around without help.

Yes, I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I'm significantly more concerned about everyone else's well-being...his ship has sailed

[MU82]

Fans, at least in some places, have more power than many think.

In an interview with the Charlotte Observer, Matt Rhule said he believed that the fact that many fans loudly turned on him during home games -- shouting "Fire Matt Rhule!" during several of his final home games -- helped seal his fate.

"I never lost the locker room. But I lost the fans."

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

Justin Fields is a very good NFL running back. Bears are doing a good job of not having him throw the football.

And Kirk Cousins is still Kirk Cousins.

Bump?

[The Sultan]

Yeah I can definitely see why people are high on Fields.

[Dish]

Watson's going to be a co-favorite for OROY by end of the day.

[JWags85]

Yeah I can definitely see why people are high on Fields.

The transformation over the last 6 weeks has been pretty remarkable.  Fantastic job by the coaching staff in Chicago.  (Can't remember last time I've said that in the last few years)

He'll at least have to lead a game winning drive at least once before he is anything more than a glorified RB.

For now he is content throwing INTs.

[jesmu84]

Perfect outcome for the bears

[wadesworld]

Agreed. Seeing my dude continually unable to close out games is exactly what I'd want.

[jesmu84]

For the future of the franchise, a loss is 100% the preferred outcome.

[The Sultan]

Imagine losing yet another game to your arch-rival and claiming it's the "preferred outcome" so you can move up a few draft spots.

[Dish]

Perfect outcome. Fields was great, team lost, good day for the Bears.

Whatever it takes to cope I guess.

To be clear, I understand completely why you are saying what you are saying. I just think at some point, you need to win. I mean, winning is fun!  If you trust your front office, they will find talent no matter where they draft. And again, we are only talking about a few spots difference here.

If you're not going to make the playoffs, be atrocious. Finishing 6-11 or 7-10 is a total waste. The Bears have been sitting at #2, and they won't catch Houston for #1 anyway.

Now, the argument I won't disagree with is "now can you draft and make good decisions in the offseason?". If they eff it up, then I agree 100%, what's the point.

The development of Fields and seeing what else on the roster sticks should be all that matters the last month here.

[Jockey]

The development of Fields and seeing what else on the roster sticks should be all that matters the last month here.

But, are they even developing Fields? He has shown he can pass when everybody expects run. He has not yet shown he can pass when a pass is expected. If they really want to develop him, they need to throw 40 times a game for the rest of the season. then we will have some insight into what he is as a passer.
