Ex-Bears Quarterback Advocates for Justin Fields' Showing Against Chiefs in Film Analysis
Yet another week brings another insightful film breakdown.
This particular analysis hails from Chase Daniel, a former quarterback for the Chicago Bears. Daniel decided to scrutinize Justin Fields' performance during the Bears' disappointing 41-10 defeat at the hands of the Chiefs. Throughout the Sunday game, Fields found himself sacked various times, a situation made all the more disheartening considering the Chiefs typically rushed only three men, while also keeping a spy on Fields for most of the game. Notably, Fields was sacked thrice.
In the eyes of Daniel, the outcome of the game hinged on several critical factors. He observed a significant lack of adequate protection for Fields, coupled with ineffective protection schemes at the forefront. The play design overall was lackluster, with receivers either failing to get open, dropping passes, or causing turnovers.
Daniel noted that Fields' errors were primarily due to not grounding the ball or escaping the pocket effectively, and misjudging openings for a few throws. Interestingly, Daniel's analysis revealed that the number of mistakes made by Fields was comparatively minimal, especially when viewed against his performances in the initial two weeks. It's crucial to acknowledge that Daniel focused his analysis solely on the first-half tape. Despite what the box score might suggest, Fields had a solid performance, even managing to lead the Bears to the red zone for a field goal and securing a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
Assigning blame for the Bears' string of lamentable losses has proven to be a complex task for their fan base this season. Is the coaching staff at fault? The players, or perhaps Fields himself? In reality, it appears to be a blend of all these elements, resulting in what many might argue is the currently underwhelming state of the team. However, this week, Fields seems to be exempt from bearing the brunt of the blame, with the coaching and supporting cast seemingly more culpable.
With 14 weeks still remaining in the regular season, it remains to be seen who will ultimately bear the majority of the responsibility for the team's performance. Regardless of the outcome, significant changes may be on the horizon as the season concludes.
