Bears are going to lose on Sunday and people are going to lose their minds blaming Fields. Some delusional meatheads will even be clamoring to put Bagent back in. But let's take a step back and look at the big picture.
-
Bagent got two wins in four games against dogshit teams. The Lions are legit and are the best team the Bears have played since the Vikings, but more realistically since the Chiefs.
-
Fields has been out for a month. Any player will have cobwebs after being out that long.
-
The coaching staff is still dogshit, too. They will find a way to fuck it up in the second half. Or more realistically, they will do nothing different in the second half at which point the Lions will have the Bears completely figured out.
And for all the Caleb Williams stans out there, this is all you need to know to realize he's not the answer because any NFL defense is better than every NCAA defense. Just admit that JF1 has only played for HCs and OCs who don't deserve to coach at a JuCo. Every QB would suck ass under these coaches.
It's not just about Fields, though. Both the "maybe Fields will ball out for the next seven games" AND the "look how improved our defense is!" people are going to have a bad time on Sunday. Possibly also the "our offensive line is one piece away from being solid" folks
Sunday is more than likely going to put a lump of coal in everyone's stocking.
