Justin Fields makes me nervous.

As you can imagine, I see a good bit of Bears football and they are truly a bad team, but Fields is the exception.  While nothing special as a passer, he is a truly impressive rushing QB.  Makes guys miss.  Leaves jocks on the grounds.  Take what should be huge losses and somehow turns them into huge gains. 

 

It's not just a matter of putting a spy on him either.  The kid has some next level skills.  At 1000 yards rushing and 8 TDs, he's a legit starting RB who also just happens to throw the ball pretty well. 

 

He's the only the thing that has made the Bears even remotely watchable this year.

 

On the other hand, he's very very boom or bust.  Takes a ton of sacks and puts up some bad INTS.  It's very much "Good Justin" vs "Bad Justin".

 

Here's hoping we get more of the bad than good.

 

 

I think you know how nervous that you really are about the outcome of the game, which is minimal. Fields is good. The Bears are not. Sure, the Bills could lose. But it will be due to their own mistakes if they do, not Fields alone. He has no weapons, no OL, a rookie HC and the defense is gutted and bad. Other than that…

I like their backfield. I wonder what the chances are the Bills land Montgomery in FA next year.

 

He's always reminded me a bit of Freddy Jackson

Fields is literally the only Bears player worth worrying about. It’s the NFL and anything can happen on any given Sunday, but that is the territory we are in.

The better team won in 2020 and the team with the better head coach won in 2021.  It's not like the defense was up against this year's Rams.  The Chiefs have the best offense in the NFL.

In 2020 Mcd decided to punt and run, playing not to lose. In 2021 it was the 13 ***** seconds fiasco. Josh Allen won that game but McD and Frazier took it away because of their ineptness to guard Kelce.

For last year, I place the blame squarely on McDermott.  Even if Frazier was the one responsible for giving KC the middle of the field, there's no way McDermott didn't know it and as the head coach, he should have intervened.  But I think it was McDermott's call all the way.

We just can't let him break 11 tackles on any runs.

Are you basing this on his exit to the lockerroom in the last game? Think that was just cramps.

Well, when you gotta o, you gott... oh, cramps

The way we've been tackling open-field runners, that's a possibility. If we keep trying to wrap guys by their shoulders, Fields could break his own rushing record.

As he should because he is fast and our defense is slow.

Fields is impressing….he is going to be a problem

[C.Biscuit97]

Weird how many people are crapping in Fields when his second year looks a lot (if not even a little better) than Allen’s. He plays on a garbage offense and show some really flashes surrounded by junk. This board loves putting down other teams qbs.

 

and the bills are far superior to the bears and it should be a cake walk. But the bears have hung in almost every game, combined with awful weather, and the bills not covering in 7 out of 8 could make it somewhat interesting. Imo, these are sometimes the hardest games for superior teams to get up for. Would love to see a nice crap kicking for Christmas

I remember you crapping on Allen just the same, if not harder!  So what's the difference?

I would say a major difference is I didn’t believe in Allen because it was the Bills and his college stuff. He definitely progressed his second year but never in a million years did I think he would become what he is. 
 

so I will never I can see fields at Allen’s current level. But dude was like the number 1 player in the country and dominated in college. Not crazy to think he could become a good player with more talent around him and being in the same offense 2 years in a row. I think he’s a dangerous player. That said, our defense is very suited for him. 

[GolfandBills]

I’m sure he’ll have a big day on the ground.  With the Bills unwilling to tackle he’s going to be a problem. 

[HappyDays]

He's possibly the most exciting player in the NFL with the ball in his hands, but decidedly less so when the ball leaves his hands.

Not at all. He's electric as a runner. As a passer he is still missing a lot of basic throws and reads. Allen was reading defenses much better than Fields was in his sophomore season. Right now he is still making college reads.

[Motor26]

Fields is one of the worst passing QBs in the NFL. Just Rush 4 and keep contain and spy with Milano and/or Poyer. 

[BigAl2526]

Fields is not on the injury report for Tuesday.  Forget any notion he's going to miss the game.  II think Fields is still developing.  In a couple years, it could be very scary to face him.  I respect his skills now.  The wind is going to make passing an adventure, assuming the game is played as scheduled.  Fields is on a pace to have the most running yards in a single season by a QB, so Buffalo needs to respect that ability.  The Bills demonstrated they have plenty of work to do in the way of run defense in the game against Miami.

If the Bills are capable of losing to Zach Wilson, they can lose to any dog turd quartebacks. I will not trust Frazier anymore and i hope he's fired after we win the Super Bowl. We win it all despite Frazier.

 

Good Lord. Justin Fields won't have the luxury of having the #3 defense to drag him to a win. We lost because of the Jets defense and 2 Josh Allen interceptions, not Zach Wilson, he had a whopping 154 yards passing and a fumble. One of Josh's interceptions stopped us from scoring at least 3 points and the other led to a 19 yard td drive for the Jets. Chicago has a bad defense ranking 22nd.

 

 That loss to the Jets is the only time this year the Bills have lost to a top 10 defense(3-1, 3 of them on the road).
