To make some counterpoints... while we have seen improvement from our Offense here in the second half, only one win has come against a decent team. (Detroit)When Poles came in he said it would bee a 2 year rebuild. Last year was getting rid of all the big money contracts. Crazy because last year Fields looked better than he did early this year while Getsy was trying to turn him into AR. I see steady improvement in this team with most bears fans wanting to trade the first pick to build a better roster. The fact is Getsy jumped 2 positions to be OC and 'Fluce" is learning on the job also. I see a team getting better. Media wants to blame the QB1 when bears lose, but while JF1 can frustrate me I still see an amazing competitive player getting better every week despite suspect coaching
Every week teams get more tape on JF1 yet he is still getting better. Like backups that shock the world their first game and a half D adjusts and we see the ceiling quick. JF1 is a force of nature despite teams knowing what he's going to do. That the Bears aren't in the playoff's is because of 4th quarter defensive letdown. Happy new years all. I really Bears have a competent game plan for GB tomorrow.
The 4th quarter defensive letdowns does not tell the whole tale. The Offense has disappeared far too often in the second half, and we all know the D is bound to break at some point when the opposing offense gets so many chances with little rest for the D.
Fields really didn't look better last year, he just ran it more aggressively. And I don't blame Getsy for trying to make him more like AR. He needed visible work on his dropbacks, timing, wind-up, footwork, pocket presence, trusting his eyes, reading defenses post and pre-snap etc....point-being, he needed a BUNCH of work.
Getsy bugs the shit out of me, and Flus seems to lack that cutthroat mentality, but ultimately it's Fields that is on the field making or not making plays. If the coaching is off, than freaking audible out of the shitty plays. The perfect example was last week, in a 20-pt win, dropping back to pass with 2:02 left in the game. That was an absolute insane playcall there. Totally retarded. Literally no reason to call that there. But it was called, and Fields went ahead and did the play, and he ended up getting fucking killed and FUMBLED IT!? We ultimately recovered it, but the sheer fucking insanity of that call making it through Getsy, Flus AND Fields is concerning. That's three sets of eyes that okayed the stupidest fucking playcall I've seen in ANY game ALL SEASON.
Tomorrow will tell the tale, be it good or bad. It might not matter either way, as they may have already made up their minds, but beating the Packers and spoiling their post-season aspirations might be enough.
