I am very willing to admit that’s a possibility.

Remember those days when people were afraid Getsy would be hired away as a head coach after one year?

He also needs to be healthy. Again. 3 sacks in extremely limited action. If he threw it 30 times and had 8 sacks y’all would be bitching about that too.

I’m simply looking for reasons for what happened.
I think if he called a pass happy game there would be just as many people bitching about him not running the ball.

Then dial up more quick hitters that if they aren’t there he can throw it away without taking hits. He has to be given an opportunity to grow.
Obviously be responsible with his health, but this is football. You can’t treat him with kids gloves the whole season and expect any type of growth.

Getsy, first year learning on the job coordinator? guy left a cush job with packers as quarterback coach to rodgers, anyone at ccs could have filled that role . . .he's going to be hammered all week for the shotgun formation at a crucial time in the game with the ball on the one foot line and rightly so.

Take your head our of your own ass. We're 1-1 so far against maybe the two best teams in the NFC. All of you would accept the outcome prior to the season starting.
You're no sage or expert, so shut up.

You also need to accept that this isn’t Madden and he may not be able to just “dial up more quick hitters” because Fields may not be able to actually do that. He has a thousand times more insight into what Fields can and cannot do at this time than we do.
It’s also his second game as OC. If we’re supposed to be patient with Fields then people need to apply that to the new OC too.

Probably a combination of poor play calling, not trusting the OL, not trusting the WR and/or WRs not getting open, and Fields.
My thing is - the Bears have to give Fields the ability to go thru some of these growing pains. If they think they are 'protecting' him by limiting the amount he throws then what are we even doing?
How do you get better at something? You get reps. Fields needs reps.

Ppl are desperately flailing to give Fields benefit of the doubt.

It's because we had our opening drive go for a TD where there was 1 pass and 6 rushes.
And that was followed up with 4 straight 3 and outs where in that there were 2 monster sacks where Fields walked right into them and couple that with a false start, and negative 4 and negative 5 yard plays. And also a pass by Fields where he was past the LOS.
Against the Packers and Rodgers, we can't go 3 and out 4 straight times. We did this against the 49ers and it didn't bite us because their offense with Lance was not good. Against the Packers, it lead to 3 straight Packers TDs.

If Fields cannot throw short passes then we really do need to go back to the drawing board.
And I’m more than happy with giving Getsy more than 2 games to prove himself. That doesn’t mean I need to accept the playcalling last night.

Am I wrong that people were losing there minds last year about running the ball and protecting Fields? Like that’s what everyone wanted right? (Everyone not being 100% of course… but most)
