It’s getting difficult to defend Fields with how often he fumbles, and especially at such bad times. It is a glaring problem for his play. Yesterday, luckily, it was more so because he was trying to extend plays rather than just not picking up a blitz. But it was still bad.
Putting together a winning drive after the fumbles made the QB situation far more confusing. He did what we’ve been begging him to do for almost two years, but it was after doing something we hate (twice). At least he didn’t completely crumble and showed enough poise to still win the game. That was a nice pass down the middle, something we don’t see him do much.
I need to see some analysis of his game before I make a personal grade. Right now, I grade Fields’ play neutrally as he played well enough to win but had two terrible mistakes. I need to see if the short passes were truly all he had or if he was missing intermediate guys again. Glad to see only two sacks against a blitz-happy defense, and lots of completions. If he was making mostly correct reads, then I may keep the grade neutral. So, he’s 1-0-1 for the 7 game prove-it stretch.
Defense looks good. Flus trying to save his job. Glad they finally realized that prevent defense prevents dick-all. But I still think Flus and Getsy need to go.
Winning games like this almost feels like a psyop by the McCaskeys to keep us happy while they continue to put out bad teams. But this team feels very close to being competitive in every game. The talent is there.
My amateur takes:
We should be 6-6 at the moment.

My god…
Is this…
Is this an actually well-informed take?
