Dobbs crashing back down to earth.

Edit: to add, this could be expected. The first couple of games there was such a limited playbook and Dobbs was just free flowing. Once the system sets him and he has to be a pocket passer and the defense can script it a bit more you can see Dobbs struggling. There is a reason he has been with so many teams.

Fields is playing well enough that Chicago will pass on a QB. Win-win. 

[TP_Fan]

How did Fields get up from that hit?

[TP_Fan]

What a dreadful throw on that 3rd down by Fields.  Moore was wide open.  Missed him by 4 yards.  This is bad football all around.

I was about to say if Fields keeps playing like this it's going to make Poles decision tough, I mean you can't pass on a supposed generational talent at QB can you? But at the same point just think of the bounty you could get for that generational talent  that you could then use to build around Fields if you truly believe in him?

I don't believe in Fields. If he can do RPO and run he's fine. Look at the last drive against the Lions. When he was forced to play from the pocket he had no pocket awareness. Hutchinson got on him quick but a good QB should feel that pressure.

Johnson is going to look good in a Lions uniform next year.

The only thing I am confident in is that the Bears will mess it up.

[Motown Bombers]

The Bears should have run another WR screen there.

I'd say no, you can't pass on a generational QB. The other consideration with Fields is his rookie contract is expiring and his 5th year option is on the table. They'll likely have to sign him to a big contract long term if they want to keep him. I wouldn't do it. If I were the Bears I'd rather grab what will likely be a far better QB, save cap dollars, and trade Fields for extra draft capital

Agreed.

This game sucks. Who let Brian Ferentz call plays?

[TP_Fan]

Vikings offense doing nothing. They got for it on 4th and 7 from midfield. Hockenson, wait for it, was just short. 

[buddha]

highest paid te in the league and he cant run a route to the sticks or break a tackle to save his life.

that was such a good trade.

[Motown Bombers]

I feel dirty rooting for the Bears.

Lol. Yeah I know what you mean

I have never seen a fan base that is as arrogant and does as much **** talking as Bears fans and they have only won 3 games in the past calendar year.

I’ve never seen a pass catcher that so often comes up just short of the first down. For years he has done it.  Where he catches it, he is tackledX and his route is always short.  

[TP_Fan]

These play calls are cringe man.  WR screens over and over. I just don’t understand what the bears are trying to accomplish on offense.  

[Motown Bombers]

I hate automatic 1st downs on 5 yard penalties.

[TP_Fan]

These flags are something else.  It’s amazing how many bad 3rd down flags exist in this league.  Horrible call on the opposite side of the field. These refs have been painfully one sided tonight in favor of the Vikings.

Josh Dobbs says hold my beer

[Motown Bombers]

The INT actually hurts the Bears. God I hate this team. 

[lordstanley]

Win or lose tonight, Dobbs-mania may have had its moment come and gone.

They threw something other than a WR screen.
