Justin Fields

The Chicago Bears were once again pushed around by the Green Bay Packers on the prime-time stage in a 27-10 loss on Sunday night.

But we thought it was the best play we had at that point right there for us to score. So, you’re using your quarterback as a runner, you got an additional blocker and you like your numbers in the box there,” Eberflus said. With the Bears just inches from the end zone, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy had Fields lined up in shotgun on fourth-and-goal — a good five yards back from the end zone. It’s a one-score game at that point, and we still got a chance right there to win.” Chicago challenged the call, but the call stood, and that officially ended any hopes of another second-half comeback. While you can’t blame the loss on just one play, there’s one controversial call that people are talking about.

Chicago had third-and-goal with the chance to make it a one-score game, but the rookie linebacker made a stop that eventually led to a turnover on downs.

It wasn’t lost on them Sunday night why general manager Brian Gutekunst used his first pick to draft Walker one year after the Bears drafted Fields in the first round. He closed on Fields before the quarterback could lunge for the goal line, dragging his knee to the ground about 6 inches shy of a touchdown. Twice each season, the Packers will need to defend Fields’ game-breaking speed in the NFC North. Then Jones looked across the locker room, over to Walker. The game will get slower for Walker. In the locker room, they were stunned at how quickly Walker closed on Fields -- but not surprised. In meetings, the praise starting after Walker chased down San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance in the preseason opener. Preston Smith’s first sack of the season came on the first play of the Bears second possession, swinging moment. It was that moment Walker showed for the first time in his brief NFL career how rare his game-breaking speed actually is, why the Packers stood pat with their No. The moment Fields saw Walker pause, he darted toward the sideline. The Packers allowed 71 yards on seven plays in their first series, allowing their lone touchdown. His back was parallel to the end zone.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Bears' call for quarterback Justin Fields to line up in the shotgun for a dive into the end zone on a crucial play late in their loss ...

At that point, the fact was that the game was over. “I was right next to the ball. He also thought the call was, at least in part, a product of playing in Green Bay.

Did Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields think he crossed the goal line midway through the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers?

It wasn’t nearly enough to match Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense, which bounced back from a poor first outing in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings to put up 414 yards. My job is to execute the play that is given to me the best I can.” Brown was the Bears’ leading receiver with two catches for 39 yards, and Darnell Mooney was the only other wide receiver with a catch for minus-4 yards. I thought we were gaining momentum there at the end and it would have been a good position for a comeback.” “You outnumber the box,” Eberflus said. The Bears came out in the second half intent on running the ball, sticking with it even as time began ticking down. It was the best play we had right there at the time.” My job isn’t to call the plays. Ultimately, the call on the field stood, and the Packers went on to eat up more than five minutes before Mason Crosby’s 28-yard field goal made it a three-score game. “I saw the replay up top and it looked like it was in, but there probably just wasn’t enough evidence to overturn it,” Kmet said. [[Don’t miss] Is the Chicago Bears’ passing game broken? Fields took a shotgun snap and surged forward behind a scrum of players that included right guard Lucas Patrick, tight end Cole Kmet and running back David Montgomery.

After the 27-10 debacle in Lambeau on Sunday Night Football, Fields was asked the following question. “Does losing to this team, does it sting more because of ...

It hurts more for the players than for the fans. Don’t think for one second that the Bears losing to the Packers is anything but a brush-off. If you took the time to watch the press conference, you need only look at Fields’ facial expressions, and you can see just how angry he is because of the loss and how it affects both him and his teammates. He didn’t call out the fans at all. “It hurts more in the locker room than for Bears fans. Here’s the problem with the outrage.

Justin Fields threw 11 passes in Green Bay and never looked comfortable. So what exactly happened with the Bears' offensive plan?

Then on the next drive, the quarterback tried to pass three times in a row. While the QB deserves some blame for that, the coaches failed him too. Fields should’ve had a way easier time throwing the football last night but didn’t. The Bears executed their plan perfectly in the opening drive. Chicago gashed the Packers for 180 yards and a touchdown. He revealed that it was by design, for the most part.

"So in the passing game let's highlight our skill, let's feed the guys that have skill that can take a short throw and turn it into a big gain, that can go downtown. It was circumstance and not plan or a negative reaction to Fields to have so few. This let them shorten the length of their rebuild by giving them more cap space next year, and so for this year they've had to go with lower budget receivers. One less and maybe Eddie Jackson doesn't get an interception that helps lock up the game. Combine that with the actual success they had running it in the second half after the Packers backed off of the line of scrimmage while expecting more passes, and you get only 11 passes for the game. "Yeah, oh yeah, we trust him for sure," Eberflus said.

Chicago quarterback Justin Fields' message after the loss against the Green Bay Packers will not sit well with Bears fans.

Telling the passionate fan base that they’re not suffering along with the team after the loss is simply not a good look for the young quarterback. I see the guys in the locker room every day, I see how much work they put in…” We buy your jerseys, we put the butts in the stands.

Brown’s “mailbox” play arise, the Bears need Fields to recognize it and pull the trigger. The Bears can’t afford to let them go to waste. “But I beat the DB so bad that I threw my hand up and turned it into a go route. Brown for what could’ve been a 78-yard score to quickly change the momentum of the game. “I was supposed to run a curl route,” St. An opportunity presented itself on the Bears’ first third down of the second half, but Fields failed to pull the trigger.

It's a teachable moment for Justin Fields. But also, a missed opportunity in a game where Fields simply wasn't given too many chances to throw.

Brown makes it clear this is the first time that this has come up — at the very least in a game. Again, it boils down to finding space to let Fields grow by throwing while operating in a game-plan where running the ball with a backfield duo that is tough to bring down is the team’s best option. Brown pointing out this was the first time it was put into motion in a game feels noteworthy. And in a game where there weren’t many chances to be had, it takes on a larger chunk of importance. like the Bears), there are a plenty of missed opportunities that come across your desk. One of the most frustrating things about charting a developing quarterback is when you come across their missed opportunities.

Fields threw just 11 passes against the Packers because the Bears' running game was working so well. But in a developmental stage, a potential franchise ...

That Saints-Chargers episode was one of the first significant red flags about Nagy’s ability to develop a sustainable offense. The Bears didn’t get that balance against the Packers: They officially had a 66/34 balance, with 27 running plays and 14 passing plays (including three sacks). Through two weeks of the regular season, Getsy’s approach to developing Fields is almost the polar opposite of former coach Matt Nagy’s approach with Trubisky. Fields completed 7 of 11 passes for 70 yards with no touchdowns and one interception for a 43.8 passer rating. Everyone else sees Mooney and Kmet with a combined two catches for four yards after two games and shudders. The next move is Getsy’s, starting Sunday against the Texans at Soldier Field. ‘‘We’d like to be 50/50 [run-pass] in a game . “We’d like to be 50/50 in a game.” Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s developmental plan for quarterback Justin Fields is all about incremental, steady growth, not a flip-the-switch, breakthrough moment. That’s the challenge facing Getsy after two weeks of his first season as an offensive coordinator. Getsy instead leaned on the running game. He doesn’t have Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill.

Despite trailing by two scores for 34 minutes Sunday, the Bears only asked Justin Fields to throw 11 times. What does that say about how the regime views ...

And we have a good deep ball thrower so we should utilize that too. Let's feed the guys that have skill that can take a short throw and turn it into a big gain, that can go downtown. Getsy also has to get more inventive with his play-calling. "I think you got to highlight your skill," Eberflus said. But Fields has the talent to negate that. "You got to highlight your skill. We want to improve. We want to get better there. It's also fair to say he needs help from his best skill guys. I've argued that hiring offensive coordinator Luke Getsy to run a wide-zone, bootleg-heavy offense tailored to Fields' skill set pointed to the opposite. The Ohio State product has only played one good half of football this season. The pass protection hasn't been good.
