This is one of those rare games I’m perfectly fine with only throwing it 10-12 times. Run, run, run the ball.
-
HITS principle taking it on the chin early.
-
Why are they wearing the stupid orange uniforms again?
-
Bad matchup today. Gonna be ugly.
-
Touchdown here could help the mojo.
-
Defend well this next Dallas possession and it’s a game again.

So much for that idea

Eddie Jackson lol
-
PAMan must be face down in a gutter somewhere after a big night of partying.
-
Right now, to me, the goal is to get Justin through this one with his health. It’s a concern.
-
This ain't gonna be pretty
-
Ceedee Lamb looks like garbage all year, plays the Bears, and suddenly looks like a pro bowler.
-

Just wondering how awful the Patriots are

Just wondering how awful the Patriots are
I was just thinking the same thing.
-
Fields is a poor man’s version of Dak. And that’s not good enough to win in the NFL
-
Gonna take some pretty fancy adjustments to get back into this one.
-

He hasn’t had Dak most of the year.
-

The only similarity between the two is they’re both black.
-

If only he were young with a chance to improve.
-
Fields is more like Lamar than I had realized. A better runner than I had thought, and not as polished of a passer as I thought.
-
And no, I’m not putting Justin on Lamar’s level. But similar playing styles.
-
Nice catch, Velus.
-
God damnit Velus. Make a play.
-
That was an elite scramble by Fields. Evaded that defender by showing pass after taking off.
-
God damnit Velus. Make a play.
I hated that pick.
-
Velus Jones. This motherfucker can't catch a goddamn thing.
-
The only similarity between the two is they’re both black.
There exact same size, same speed, neither is a very good passer from the pocket.
-
And no, I’m not putting Justin on Lamar’s level. But similar playing styles.
Lamar Jackson is a way more explosive runner. Like I said Fields is a poor man’s Dak
-
There exact same size, same speed, neither is a very good passer from the pocket.
Dak ran a 4.79 out of college, idiot. That’s not to say he’s not a good runner, he is. But he’s not in Field’s league in that regard.
-
And no, I’m not putting Justin on Lamar’s level. But similar playing styles.
Oh, man. If only we argued like you do, we’d have fun with this comment…
-
Oh, man. If only we argued like you do, we’d have fun with this comment…
Are they not similar in playing styles? I know where you’re going with this. Stop before you make yourself look stupid.
-
Alrighty, I like that. Hopefully Harry can reclaim his career here. Loved the move of bringing him in. 7th rounder for a young 1st round player definitely work the risk.
-
Nice drive even with Dallas providing some help.
-

Yes, sir!
-
Oh fuck! Eddie Jackson!
-
Eddie fucking Jackson!
Huge if Bears score here since they get the ball to start the 2nd half.
-
Was gonna say with a good start to the 2nd half this might not be over but then that happened. Nice defensive breakup there.
-
A receiver has to help Fields. 6’5 needs to come down with that.
-
I liked the call of going right for the TD after the pick.
-
Designed run with 14 seconds left? Don’t like it.
-
They're playing for the FG.
-
I liked the call of going right for the TD after the pick.
Fields delivered two pretty nice passes. First play was a nice defensive play, feel like EQ should have had the 2nd.
-
That looked blocked for a second. Getting some Minnesota vibes from this game. Need a good start to 2nd half. Fields playing pretty well. Defense needs to get a lot better.
-
The stupidity of Dallas is allowing the Bears to hang around.
-
I would like to see more of Harry in the passing game.
-
The stupidity of Dallas is allowing the Bears to hang around.
Well they do have Mike McCarthy at the helm, so no game is out of reach for an opponent.
-
I would like to see more of Harry in the passing game.
Agreed. Less Velus, probably less EQ. EQ is a career backup. He is who we thought he was.
-

Randy Moss definitely would’ve caught it!
-
I would like to see more of Harry in the passing game.
And way less Velus Jones. Feels like he should be about out of chances.
-

Definitely ain’t Getsy.
-
Oh, and does Darnell Mooney still play football?
-
And way less Velus Jones. Feels like he should be about out of chances.
They’re not going to give up on a 3rd round rookie, but he was a massive reach on draft day. 25 years old with one decent college season under your belt isn’t the profile for a good NFL player.
-
Oh, and does Darnell Mooney still play football?
I think we found out this year that he is a #2 at best and doesn’t possess the skills to be a #1 somewhere.
-
Oh, and does Darnell Mooney still play football?
Haven’t seen his name on the cut wire or obits, so I’m assuming yes.
-

Always had him pegged as an elite 3.
-
Randy Moss definitely would’ve caught it!
That's funny.
-
Randy Moss definitely would’ve caught it!
Even on October 30, 2022.
-
Randy Moss definitely would’ve caught it!
Unless Peanut Tillman was covering him
-
Unrelated to the Bears game, is 4 chocolate donuts and a half jar of cheese dip with el ranchero chips an unhealthy way to start your day?
-
Let's see what kind of 2nd half adjustments Eberflus and staff can cook up.
-

Nope. Sounds perfectly reasonable. Especially if you wash it all down with a couple beers.
-
A little too cute there.
-

Gatorade zero.
-
3 and out. Shit.
-
Defense needs to pin them back here.
-
Nagy call.
-
Gatorade zero.
Gross
-
3 and out. Shit.
Agree with Moose, unnecessarily cute on 3rd down.
-
There’s been a couple times Herbert stepped out and got hit right on the sideline. I feel like he could draw a flag if he falls down on those.
-
Nagy call.
Ding! I almost said Andy Reid earlier, but your thought was even better.
-
Agree with Moose, unnecessarily cute on 3rd down.
Yeah. A better script would have been nice for sure.
-
Good defensive stand there.
-

Can't go wrong with El Ranchero. Regular? Spicy? Restaurant? No salt? Which one you go with?
-
Is the D getting their shit together?
-
Can't go wrong with El Ranchero. Regular? Spicy? Restaurant? No salt? Which one you go with?
The regular green bag.
-
No salt?
No salt? What the fuck?
Do you drink decaf also?
-
woodmans with cheese dip for $1.39. About a third of what you’d pay at Jewel.
-
Yikes.
-
Turnover. Lol
-
That’s gonna kill the momentum. Think the Bears will be lucky to get that reversed.
-
Too inconclusive to reverse that IMO.
-
Leighton vander esch has a punchable fucking face.
-
Speaking of poor food choices, I just housed 3/4 of a Casey’s large supreme pizza for lunch. Along with a glass of milk.
-
That rivals the tuck play IMO (not in importance) but lucky break.
-
They got a break. Now cash it in.
-
Mooney is alive and well
-

Ick to peppers and olives and with milk. Yay to Darnell Mooney still being alive and well!
-
Oh, there’s Mooney. Nice!
-
The fact that Justin Fields is having two very good games in a row isn’t being talked about enough.
-
Ick to peppers and olives and with milk. Yay to Darnell Mooney still being alive and well!
I guess I just had to say it! Lol
-
I’ll Give these Bears some credit. They don’t quit.
-
Herbert > Montgomery
-
Got damn! Now we got us a ballgame!
-
Herbert is orgasmic
-
Herbert > Montgomery
Herbert is a better fit for the offense IMO.
Montgomery can be a good short yardage/goal line back
-
Fields just about died right there 😳
-
Herbert > Montgomery
As a pure runner. Montgomery does everything else better. They are a good 1-2 punch.
-
I don’t like chasing points early in the 3rd. And I definitely don’t like Justin almost getting murdered on said 2 point play.
-
I was typing, didn’t even notice they were going for 2. Looked up and saw Fields getting mauled.
-
Yeah not a fan of going for 2 there. We got ourselves a game though.
-
I might still prefer Daboll, but damn Eberflus and this staff are such a massive upgrade over Nagy.
-
Ugh, can’t give that up. Also, I accidentally dropped Schultz in fantasy this week.
-
They telegraphed the run and Pollard was nearly untouched.
-
I don’t know what it is about the Cowboys and tight ends, but they always seem to have good ones.
-
Safe to say they’ve blown past the over if anyone bet it.
-
I don’t know what it is about the Cowboys and tight ends, but they always seem to have good ones.
Ugh. After I posted this, I realized how gay it sounded. Oh well. I’m leaving it.

😂
-
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
-
You’re ok, just don’t say you’re gonna eat them out.
-
What bothers me is they pretty much promised you there were going to run it, and he was barely hung up by his shoestrings.
-
Looking the bad Bears real suddenly here.
-
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Of course not.
I probably just pissed Spark off.
-
Just throw a RB screen here and get off the field.
-
Slipping away. Feels like they needed a TD on this drive.
-
That escalated quickly.
-
There's the dagger.
-
Montgomery. What the fuck man.
-
Damn. This reminds me of The Red Vioer vs The Mountain.
-
Field straight up jumped over Parsons. Not that it mattered but what the hell man.
-
Why the fuck did Fields jump over him? And why are they saying vander cock stripped the ball? Montgomery just fucking dropped it.
-
Kmet's dumbass holds his man with Fields already past him.
-
Fields needs to touch him next time, but his defense is the least of my concerns. Poor overall effort by the entire offense on that play.
-
If the Bears can keep this game within a couple scores in the 4th, I’ll consider this game a moral victory. The offense has been pretty good. We knew the defense has no talent outside of Roquan and the secondary.
-
Not exactly displaying any sense of urgency down 19
-
Fields needs to touch him next time, but his defense is the least of my concerns. Poor overall effort by the entire offense on that play.
He’s gotta be smarter than that tho. I do agree it’s probably not a huge concern, but it was a blunder. Sometimes his decision making worries me.
-
He’ll learn from it. He’s not in a position to play defense often. What’s most pathetic is he was the closest Bear to the ball.
-
I’ve always thought Field’s body language was weird. He’s always got RFB (Resting Bitch Face) and can be taken the wrong way at times.
-
Justin God Damn Fields looking like a legit NFL quarterback for two games in a row! I am here for this.
-
Kmet's first TD since 2020. How fucking sad.
-
Cole Kmet sighting.
-

I like it. Joe Montana always looked detached. His deameanor is one of things I love about Fields. Doesn’t get too emotional.

It's on Poles to get this kid some fucking help
-

Not bad?

Lamar Jackson + Joe Montana = Justin Fields
I like it 🤷🏻♂️

With the picks and the cap space next year, shouldn’t be that difficult. Finally getting dug out from Pace.
-

Oh man.
-

With improvement from the youngsters and some good free agent signings I really feel like the Bears can compete in a relatively weak NFC next year.
And…Pollard takes it to the house.
-
This defense sucks, lol
-
Yeah, Herbert > Montgomery
-

Especially with the Packers starting to suck ass. The Vikings are a problem, but Kirk Cousins has that low ceiling the Vikings seem to love.
It does feel like the window is opening. Especially if Fields is in fact good.
-
Man, this would be a great game if the defense showed up at all.
-
Just keep running it and get Fields out of this game healthy. This is a loss.
-
This game is like watching Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech. Defense optional.
-
There’s the let’s pretend Kmet is Kelce play.
-
Too many cowboys running free out there.
-
The Vikings are ok. I don’t think they’re a team to fear though. There’s only one really good team in the NFC right now IMO.
-
Kmet has been such a huge disappointment and bust. Very Luke Ford ish.
-

j
You are the Russell Wilson of the HQ. “Trying” a bit too hard.
-
Kmet has been such a huge disappointment and bust. Very Luke Ford ish.
He’s not a bad player. Just not what they hoped he’d be. He’s a solid in-line TE.
-
It’s Hackett’s fault, not mine. I just need a few more years.
-
Justin Fields has been very very good two games in a row and nary a word. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you guys were rooting for him to fail.
-
Who remembers Dominique Robinson?
-
Fields has definitely picked it up these last 2. Get some players around him and I think it’ll improve him. He definitely should get next year before they draft another QB. Even if they got the #1 pick I’d like to see them not draft a QB.
-

Absolutely not. I am rooting for him to succeed. I’m glad he has played well.
-
Just put Semien in.
-

PAMan, his most relentless critic has been quiet as a church mouse.
-

Put it in where exactly?! 🤔
-
I’m kinda concerned about the defense giving up 49 to a Cowboy team without Zeke. That bothers me way more than the offense has bothered me today. The offense did their part.
-

Glad Flus consults the HQ during games.

Agreed
-

I’m not. Half of those guys will be gone next year. Would have been nice to keep it more competitive though.
-
PAMan, his most relentless critic has been quiet as a church mouse.
He’ll be back when Justin fucks up, lol. Fear not.
-
Zeke isn’t a difference maker anymore. A solid RB still, but I didn’t think they’d miss him at all.
-
This is the most points the Cowboys have given up to anyone this year. Eagles included. So there's that.
-

Very Truthish
-
I’m not. Half of those guys will be gone next year. Would have been nice to keep it more competitive though.
Yeah, half of those guys will be gone, but they’ll need to be replaced. That takes money and picks that could be spent helping Fields.
Roquan is the only front 7 player worth a shit and he doesn’t want to be here. That’s concerning to me.
-

Great point. Top 2-3 defense in the league and the Bears represented well. Very encouraging.
-
Zeke isn’t a difference maker anymore. A solid RB still, but I didn’t think they’d miss him at all.
Well, I thought they would. Good job on being right.

I hear ya, but this was a complete tear down. It’s gonna hurt for a bit. Hopefully they have a great draft next year and a strong FA class. And Fields and the rookies take the next step. I think the division could be winnable next year.
-
Well, I thought they would. Good job on being right.
He’s a bigger loss if it’s the playoffs. Home game against the Bears? Not so much.
-
DJ Moore just made a 62 yard end zone catch. Go get ‘em Poles.
-
Moore would be a fantastic player for Fields IMO.
-
Wow that Moore TD was insane. Go get him if he’s available Poles.
-
And a former Bears kicker missed the XPT 😂
-
Wow, Carolina loses a chance to clinch game with EP, draws excessive celebration penalty and miss 48 yard EP.
-
The ex-Bear kicker blows the win. Moore fucked them with the celebration penalty though.
-
Then he took off his helmet like a dumbshit. And the 48 yard xp is no good.
NFL players can be so fucking stupid, lol
-
Wow that Moore TD was insane. Go get him if he’s available Poles.
I’d give up a 2nd rounder for him in a NYM.
-
Yeah, can’t do that. Having said that, that’s a dumb penalty. Almost tuck rule dumb.
-
I’d give up a 2nd rounder for him in a NYM.
Agreed
-
The price probably went up today, though. Lol
-
I’ll tell you what, if the Justin Fields we’ve seen the last two games is the new Justin Fields, I feel confident in saying he’s better than Kyler Murray.
-
Bet Murray could take him in Call of Duty, though.
-
I passed right the fuck out on the couch right about the time the Bear made it close. Woke up and the Colts were on. I didn’t have to look at my app to know what had happened.
Showered and went downtown with some buddies and drank $10 buckets in the midst of a bunch of good looking women in Titans (and a few Falcons and Colts) jerseys.
I wore my Bear hoodie against my better judgment, but everyone just seemed to feel sorry for me.
-
Ok, did not see much of the game. Great QB rating for Fields. BUT, only 150+ yards passing in a 20 point loss? Huh?
-

Again, 70 yards in dropped TD passes, and only attempted 23 altogether. They weren’t winning that game because the defense was utter trash, and not sure dropping Fields back 20x in the 2nd half against that pass rush was a good way to keep him in one piece.
-
Why are they wearing the stupid orange uniforms again?
I don't get the orange uniforms and helmet. The navy blue helmet is one of the best in the NFL. Butkus probably vomits seeing that orange helmet.

So 220 yards passing?
No one has ever won a game 56 - 49?
You going to play him in a Draft Kings tourney?
Hopefully he builds on it and they open things up.

Are you going to start him in a daily fantasy tournament, because if you are not, he is not there yet. When he throws for 300 yards, in a game, not over 2 games, we will be getting somewhere.

Pretty moronic take to be hung up on the numbers at this point. As if he didn’t throw for 300/3 he didn’t play well. Just dumb.
-

Moronic is getting excited when the QB threw a whole 23 passes in a 20 point pasting.
-

And ran for 60 and a TD, helping open up the running game for RBs. And had 2 TDs for 70 yards dropped. Again, moronic to hold it against Fields they didn’t throw it enough.
-
The defense is why they lost dipshit. They put up more points on Dallas this year than any other team, including the Eagles. And it was virtually all Fields.

C'mon, they continued to run the ball 9 million times and threw it 23 because they don't trust him or the line.
-
Someone who isn’t encouraged by what they’ve seen with Justin Fields the last month is going out of their way to be hypercritical. You seriously have no credibility on this matter.
They weren’t winning that game, the defense looked like a high school defense. It made no sense to put a target on Fields in the 4th quarter with that pass rush.
-

You do that so he can learn on the job.
Manning, Elway, whomever, took beatings early in their careers, right? They learned from it.

Hmmmmm, referencing DJ Moore here

Fucking hilarious. If you think I’ve backtracked on DJ Moore you’re a Mooreon.
He’s a terrific player. He just can’t be the only good skill position player you have.

-

He’s mid tier. That’s good enough. No one said he was Ja’Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson, or Tyreek Hill. Not even me. It’s the players behind him that might not be of good quality.

I had a milk. In a dirty glass.
