  • The bears defense generated 8 turnovers in the last 2 weeks and their offense scored only 2 total touchdowns between those games. Fields has moments because he’s athletic but the only reason you won against the Vikings is because DJ Moore was somehow open by 10 yards in the middle of the field with a perfect pocket (why didn’t the Vikes rush him there?). The lions game was lost because they couldnt capitalize on good defensive play.

    Fields is a bust. He get flustered easily. He has zero ball security. And he struggles to climb or move the pocket and get to his next read. I feel like he’s still trying to hit home run balls instead of learning to take 5-10 yard check downs. You have a chance to get one of two seemingly generational QBs, you gotta move on from JF.














  • I’m happy with Willis coming in for a running play when the situation makes sense. First & 10 at mid field? Nah. 1 & goal? Sure, Taysom hill scores plenty and he’s not a great thrower. You just can’t put him in situations where he’s so clearly inferior and needs to run the offense. It undercuts your QB1 and the defense absolutely doesn’t respect it.

    If he got 4-5 carry’s a game and transitioned to gadget guy, I’d be fine with that.


  • I’m tired of ETH skirting criticism for an insanely expensive squad. Great managers work with what they have and find a way to win. They enact a style of play and have everyone buy in. ETH has taken a Bill Belichick style of management, which relies on everyone fearing and respecting him, I’m not sure he’s earned it from them. I also have no idea what they want to accomplish on the field. He needs to find a consistent XI that will execute his gameplan, because Man U isn’t Ajax, in that they will be more talented than every other squad. He needs buy in and I don’t see any affection for him from the players.

    Mourinho took every squad he inherited and made them capable of winning, players adore him. Ange came into a squad slated to finish 5th or 6th and has a distinct identity as a squad that loves playing for him. You would laugh at the squad Klopp inherited when he came in, and every one feared Liverpool from the moment he took over. Even Pep took an already good City side and made them godlike.
