It is 100% much, much better - but you did that same thing.  It was never fair to criticize Fields, ever, because of something somebody else did.

Also, Caleb has been way (WAY) better than Fields ever was here.  He needs to get quite a bit better but he's already a major, major improvement.  Surely you agree with that right?

PAMan won’t judge Caleb until there is a 1st team all pro pass blocker at every position.

This sounds super familiar.

This was very fun.

This was an old fashioned both-sides melt down.  Yikes.

Nobody looked good.

Fields can’t catch the ball for Tyler Scott or Darnell Mooney.

Glad you brought up Mooney.  He’s made your shit last year look pretty hilarious, not that you’d ever acknowledge it.

The point is I heard two talking heads call them the “best defense in the NFL” the week before that loss. You can’t give up a TD drive late at home if you want to be called the best defense in the NFL. That’s my only point.

But even though they gave up the late score, the loss is still on the offense for only mustering 17 points yeah?

If my offense is any good, 20 points given up by my defense should be a win most nights.  Do you agree?

The Bears were respectable the 2nd half of the year. After Fields’ return and the acquisition of Sweat. If Tyler Scott could catch the Bears probably go 6-1 down the stretch.

If they had a real quarterback they were probably a playoff team the way their defense played down the stretch.  But they didn’t.

Jesus hahaha.

The Fields thing continues to be one of the weirdest phenomena I ever remember in sports.

Both games - Bears today and Steelers against the Cowboys - were both good defensive performances where their opponents didn’t score much but their offenses didn’t score enough to win.

If my defense gives up 18 or less and I lose, that is not on my defense.

Joe Burrow wouldn’t have made the 2022 Bears respectable.

What about 2023?

33% is a lot. There wasn’t any QB going to make the Bears’ 2022-2023 teams successful.

I’d probably say the same thing about Darnold’s first team. And lots of other young QBs. You go to a bad franchise with bad coaching and you’re behind the 8 ball immediately.

We should all be so lucky as to only be held 33% responsible for our own failures.  What a fuckin crazy take hahaha.  And presented as if it was meant to sound reasonable.

It’s funny, how when the offense mostly shits the bed but hands the defense a late lead in one case it’s clearly the offenses’ fault for losing and the other it’s the defenses’. Funny how that works. Just as I PREDICTED, you’d NEVER let a Bears defense off the hook for blowing a late lead in any situation.

And you’d never hold Justin Fields accountable for an underperforming offense needing a late defensive stop to win a low scoring game.  Like, you’re not wrong - it’s just that you do the exact same thing you’re criticizing him for, and 100% of his views about football are meant to antagonize you specifically.

That’s because you glossed over everything I said. I once gave Fields 33% of the blame for his own failures. Remember? Talentless roster, and lackluster coaching each got 33% too. I’ve said lots of times “Justin needed to do more to help himself.”

Wow, 33% of the blame for his own failures.


True accountability.

Anyway, you’re absolutely right about PAMan making these calls based on whether Justin Fields is involved, but you do the exact same shit for the same reason.

If you actually read what I wrote there were lots of times I said Justin needed to play better. But yeah, when EQ St. Brown drops a perfectly thrown ball on 4th down, Smith-Marsette fumbles trying to get more yards instead of going OB, or Tyler Scott misjudges a well thrown deep ball to clinch a win against Detroit and drops it, I’m assigning them some blame as well. Crazy shit, I know.

The most negative thing I remember you saying about Fields in Chicago was “he didn’t play at a HOF level”. 

Your comment about Fields and the Cowboys is perfect, because that’s the same thing PAMan is doing today with the Bears.  Even though the defense held them below the league average score and the offense only scored 17, you still blamed the defense because they gave up a late score with the lead.

It’s stupid when PAMan does it, and it was stupid when you did the exact same thing.

The defense played well today, just like the Steelers’ did in the Dallas game.  Both the Bears’ and Steelers’ offenses lost those games.

Nope. Justin Fields is no longer the Bears’ QB, so it’s the defenses’ fault. Unlike when Fields and the Steeler offense gave their defense a 4 point lead against Dallas with 3.5 minutes left at home and blew it.

Do you really not see how you do exactly this shit?

How many times did Justin Fields and the offense look bad and you blamed quite literally anyone else?

Today was on the offense.  As were a number of games last year.  But you only acknowledge those games now that Fields isn’t the QB.

I’ve come to the realization that whose fault it is depends on what jersey Justin Fields is wearing.

For you and PAMan it certainly does.

Today was on Caleb and the offense.
