Saw it in college it’s just magnified now. Fields has zero pocket awareness. Great arm, can make plays with his feet, but has no peripheral vision. Like at all.
I think Fields would look a lot better here, he's stuck on a team with the terrible combination of a bad coach and a not that good line. He's definitely less NFL ready than Jones, but having Nagy as his coach is making it a lot worse.
Not only is Jimmie Graham still playing but he is also a certified skydiver.
wait is the the things i just Learned recently thread?

Did they just call roughing the passer because Ben fell down and his own lineman kneed him in the head?
The ball actually didn’t really move even though he flubbed the catch. No idea what they will call.
I didn’t think it was a catch live and still don’t after replay (though I think closer after replay)
On the bad slide yes, but getting hit from behind a full 2 count after releasing the ball is some bullshit.
Weak to call a screen on 3rd and goal from the 15 if you aren’t willing to GFI on 4th and goal from the 4. I understand taking the points, but if that’s your philosophy, you have to call a 3rd down play that gives you more than a snowball’s chance to score the touchdown.
That’s the referee’s call; he would be positioned behind and to the right of Fields. From that angle, I can see why he might have thought the rusher was blocked into Fields. The reverse angle makes clear that wasn’t the case, but I don’t think there’s an official with that angle who is watching the QB, as opposed to the action along the line of scrimmage or downfield. Still a mistake, but I don’t think an official watched what we watched and said “yup, that’s a clean play.”
Is it so hard to have that replay official weigh in on stuff like late hits and roughing the passer? This stuff would be taken care of in thirty seconds.
Also, Chicago’s edge rusher was tackled on that play.

Can you really not go for it when All-World Najee Harris has, checks notes, 52 yards on 19 touches?
Ha. The ball washing of him has been excessive to be sure.
Fortunately you could call any number of plays other than a run with Harris into the B gaps.
