All week the Fields haters wanted Fields to prove he can put together a game winning drive. And by golly he gets one. And now the narrative changes.
The fumbles were terrible but the playcalling was atrocious. Hard to judge Fields’s game when the game plan is to throw screens all day.
Fields came through in the clutch and that’s all that matters
If the trade were today, it would be for a 2nd and another mid round pick, 3rd-5th.
There is a chance where it could turn into a 1st depending on how Fields finishes the year and if it’s a mid level team
Let’s get some hopium going.
10 days to prepare for the Lions.
D is back fully healthy with an actual pass rusher (minus Edmunds, although Sanborn has been locked in), Fields returns, Herbert returns. Let’s see what happens.
The next 4 games will tell a lot about the future of this team and 2024.
Lions Vikings Lions Browns
You beat the lions and you have the Vikings without Cousins and all of a sudden 5-7 is in the realm of possibility.
We finish the year with:
Cardinals Falcons Packers
3 winnable games.
2-2 over the next 4 games probably has you on the outside looking in, 3-1 and all of a sudden we’re in business.
Lions next week is a pivotal moment for Fields future with the Bears
QB1 - Keep Fields
C - Cushenberry
MHJ (1st round pick)
Jared Verse (1st round pick). Don’t see Poles spending another $20+ million on a free agent edge rusher. If you look at what he’s done, he has one premier player at each level of the defense (assuming JJ gets extended).
FS - Antoine Winfield Jr. and add another in the draft (4th Round Pick)
3T - ride with Dexter and let him continue to develop, and add another DT in the draft to replace Justin Jones (4th Round Pick)
G - (3rd round pick) still need a solid back up guard to push Nate Davis and depth with Tevin’s injury history
