You see while other teams in the league might worry about things like "winning" or "not looking like ass clowns" this is Chicago. Our couches are trying to get fired, so they can get paid without having to work. After all, coaching's hard!

[–] duhbears23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because the coaching staff is idiots? Are idiots?

Idk they're dumb

[–] Toews1978@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because they are and have been an organization drowning in incompetence

[–] Er0ck619@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Did they though? He had 23 attempts all game not like he was throwing a bunch anyways all game. They ran a lot of option and fields made good reads for the most part. They even let him throw on third and short to seal the game. People wanted to see an offense catered to Fields strengths and this is really it. Lots of option. Good run game. Deep calls.

This regime has done everything it can to make sure Fields doesn’t succeed. How is this surprising?

[–] MiddleNameIsJoe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure the ball was in his hands out last three offensive plays.

First came a read-option where he chose to hand it off

Then came a pass where he chose to take a low-percentage deep shot

Then finally a dropback where he showed the pocket awareness of a street sign and fumble-safetied

The coach is a coward. He coaches not to lose as opposed to coaching to win. He takes his foot off the gas and goes conservative. Same thing happened in Denver. There is a reason he has yet to win back to back games or hasn’t won a divisional playoff game. No reason for this bum to be a coach. He needs to go be a dc somewhere. Fuck him.

[–] DivClassLg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That was the Lions D taking it out of his hands OP.

Next time watch the game

[–] MrChevyPower@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Olin had me really questioning the management this morning. Top to bottom. Like why even play Fields if you’re not going to even give him a chance to make a play and evaluate him? It’s absurd. And no, Run-Run, 3rd and Long deep shot doesn’t count.

Or running on 3rd & 7

Or not going for it on 4th & 1

Seriously what the actual fuck is going on at Halas Hall.

[–] TheloniousMonk15@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Idk why. It seems like we are calling the 2022 offense again with Fields despite adding a #1 WR in the off-season. The coaching staff has no confidence in this kid and it's stupid because this is a lost season so you might as well coach aggressively.

[–] generatorland@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Bears have the rare benefit of fans being OK with losing as long as the team is developing players for the future. But Flus seems to be scared of doing that. If his job is being evaluated on wins then he should already be gone.

[–] makeanamejoke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

he turns the ball over late in games all the time

[–] GoGoGoRL@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wasn’t it Aidan Hutchinson who took the ball out of fields hands? /s (kinda)

[–] Safe-Register-3479@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

All forms of Retardation

[–] NoCreativeName2016@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think that was actually Aidan Hutchinson who took the ball out of Fields’ hands.

[–] Opportunity_Knocks23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look I understand and agree with everyone saying this coaching staff sucks but I think we can objectively say when it comes to taking the ball out of his hands late might be due to the fact that he turns the ball over seemingly every game when he has the ball in the final drive to tie or win a game. I still see flashes with Fields but we all do have to admit he hasn’t been great in late game situations

[–] Elir@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There’s just too many confounding variables to make a definitive call. Are some of the breakdowns on final drives on Fields? Sure. But mixed in are games like the Buccaneers where Getsy called the same play multiple time in a row, or this Lions game where Hutch instantly teleported through the RT, or the Steelers game from a few years back where I’m still convinced the refs had money on the game/a mandate to make sure Pittsburgh won. The numbers just don’t tell the whole story, which I think is where a lot of the polarization comes from on Fields generally tbh

[–] PianoEmeritus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The "why" isn't complicated. The outcome of almost every Fields game-winning drive in his career being a fumble or pick will erode confidence pretty quickly.

I'm not saying the conservative coaching is correct -- it isn't, Fields is the quarterback and you gotta ride it out with him regardless so may as well ask him to sling it. I don't think it's any major mystery why a coaching staff would be spooked, though.

[–] Present_Ad_1576@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Two years now playing against Goff. He’ll burn you if you give him a chance.

[–] Present_Ad_1576@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They gave Goff to much time. Maybe not a hall of fame QB but you give him 4-5 seconds, he’s gonna hit his receivers. Thought the coaching staff would have figured that out. He did the same thing with the Rams. He’s not a scrub QB.

[–] CoherentPanda@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why did they bench Bagent for seemingly no reason for a hail mary, and then bench him again in his first win of his career instead of letting him handle the victory formation? The coaching doesn't make any sense unless you want to conspiracy theory they are tanking and will get paid well under the table for it.

[–] Slowsnale@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Trust issues

[–] ubeen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure it was Hutchinson that took the ball out of Fields hands in what was a 1 score game.

[–] randallQuickstop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Geno Smith came in with confidence and set the team up for that horrible FG miss. He hit NFL open lanes, those lanes Fields doesn't see yet. So you can't have that confidence in him. Coaches confidence in his qb, his whole offense etc just shit the bed. Over confidence in the defense, killed them.

[–] jkman61494@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What makes us more incredible is they have seven games to see what they have. Why wouldn’t ownership put some pressure on the coaches to put fields in situations to either succeed or fall on his face so everyone could have some closure on the situation?

[–] IntelligentFilth@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because he would have tucked and run anyway…and literally every defense knows that.
