    Fields haters. Who on the fucking planet succeeds in this offense? Fumbles- bad yes. But for the love of fucking Christ look at these play calls.

      Yeah idk if Getsy realizes that there are ways to get the ball out quickly while still throwing in front of the line of scrimmage

        Fields isn’t good at those.

        I can pull up several pre-draft scouting reports that specifically talk about how he struggles to hit blitz-beating routes down field

          You are on every comment here ready with his pre draft scouting report saved to your clipboard. Did Fields like steal your girl in school or something?

      The play calls had to be like that because of fields’ weaknesses.

      He’s notorious for being unable to identify and hit hot routes against the blitz. It was all over his pre-draft scouting reports. We saw it all through the last Minnesota game.

      The majority of our normal dropbacks against blitzes tonight went badly.

        Then wouldn’t this defense be a perfect time for him to try and put it together, trial by fire style?

        This last stretch of games is supposed to be his proving ground to show he can improve from the beginning of the season. For 95% of this game, we all thought we were gonna lose, even when we were up. Why not use that position to dial up plays against a blitz defense that fields needs to work on and prove he can have success with.

        I understand planning around your players strengths and weaknesses, but when the opponent is shutting down and even predicting your game plan, you need to let your players prove they can adjust to something that works

          You gonna promise the coaching staff they get to keep their jobs even if they lose?

          If not, you can’t ask them to implement developmental game plans.

            I get what you’re saying, but I’d honestly consider this win still a loss for the coaching staff.

            leaving out the screens, getsy is still abandoning the run game as its working. Flus called a great defense, but as a head coach, still makes questionable decisions that didn’t work out, such as the challenge on that vikings catch that was obviously going to stay.

            It really felt like we won, despite the coaching ineptitude. Without J.J and Moore, that game becomes a crushing loss. Instead, it’s a hollow victory for everyone on the hotseat

      First, they won, and should’ve won by a lot more. Second, it’s not like the game script gets pulled out of nowhere, it’s a feedback and dialogue between the coaching staff and the personnel, mainly QB

        It is not a dialogue between coaching staff and QB or else Getsy would not have said the game plan is not specific to a QB.

        He literally said that…
