Yes, 21 passes at or near the line of scrimmage is incredibly frustrating and boring. But, fans are choosing to ignore the 5-10 plays where Fields looked downfield and either nothing was there or someone was open, but he didn’t throw (I don’t know which from the TV copy).
There were plenty of plays that just didn’t go anywhere. I would assume those were intended to be down field throws and it didn’t happen for whatever reason.
Would you rather have screen passes for 2-5 yards, or several 3 and outs?
Everyone wants to blame Getsy, and maybe he deserves it, I don’t know. But not enough people consider that maybe Getsy has his hands tied and these are the only plays he can call that have a decent chance to gain positive yards.
I wonder where some of the other routes are at. I didn’t get to see a lot of the game because I was at work but, every time I was able to tune in; it was either a screen or 4 verts. Where are the slants or crossers?
Fields has a say in the game plan. He has stated he worked with Getsy on the plays he’s most comfortable executing. They seem to avoid the tight window throws like a quick slant cause Fields won’t throw it. If this is the case than Bears have to move on.
No one is claiming that Getsy is good, but we have no idea why he’s calling the plays he calls and we may never know unless and until it leaks after 1) Getsy is fired; or 2) the Bears move on from Fields.
Getsy is not going to throw Fields under the bus in season especially if they plan to shop him this offseason. I suspect that stuff might only leak if Getsy is fired, and he needs to rehab his reputation.
Everyone wants to jump on Getsy for bad playcalling, and I do think that some of it is well-deserved. But I have also seen plenty of good play calls and play designs so we know that he is capable. We have also heard that his reputation is still good throughout the league so it leads me to believe that the NFL believes its more Fields than Getsy.
lol yea I’m sure the rest of the league is dying to get getsy in their organization as he’s achieved so much in the nfl. It’s not that deep, it’s not a mystery or a conspiracy - he just sucks. Fields may suck too but getsy deserves all of the shit he is getting right now and to defend him after last nights pathetic offensive showing is insane.
I posted this in another thread.
Here’s the rub about the offensive play calling.

Idk how anyone can give getsy the benefit of the doubt after last night. He’s trash and needs to be gone.
