The Swamp

What a fucking shit show for the Seahawks, Steelers, Bengals, and Giants fans in particular. Just...fuck. Bears fans too, I suppose. Vikings fans. Especially for Seahawks, Bengals, Giants and Bears fan - getting rolled by a hated division rival makes it extra shitty.

Hell, even in winning the Ravens offense wasn't great (to be expected) but losing Dobbins and two lineman and a S makes that victory kinda pricy.

Browns v. Dolphins for the AFC title and Cowboys v. Niners for the NFC title. Don't even need to play the rest of the season...

Fields needs to check three boxes this season to earn the Bears’ trust: prove he can handle more of the offense, make quicker decisions and throw with accuracy. Even checking two of those boxes could be enough to get him over the hump, considering what he offers as a runner.

Fields didn’t check any of those boxes against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1.

We don’t even need to look into Fields’ individual play to understand how he’s struggled to take the next step so far. Getsy’s play-calling says it all.

For one, Fields was barely asked to throw the ball down the field. Fields’ average depth of target (3.7) and average yards to the sticks (-6.7) were the second-lowest in the league through the afternoon slate of games. Only Desmond Ridder was worse in both categories, and it was painfully obvious watching him play how little the Atlanta Falcons trust Ridder right now.

-- snip --

Getsy also didn’t trust Fields to throw on a third-and-7 from the Packers 28-yard line in the first quarter. He called a screen for Chase Claypool, which was tipped and dropped.

Right or wrong, Getsy wanted to guarantee three points instead of seeing what Fields could do. It says a lot about the quarterback when a play caller effectively surrenders on a gettable third-down situation within scoring range.

That’s a LOT of Zach Wilson exposure…
