Bears should have held onto Fields and not obliged his demands to move on

Could have played Fields until they felt Williams was ready or Fields got injured

No need to rush Williams to playing day 1

Eh, he laid up, but he didn't lose five yards on that. It would've been a damn hard catch even if he had sprinted all out.

Even if Moore was going full speed he would have had problems getting to that one. It was a bad throw.
Seeing your receiver give up on a route probably impacts the throw. Just saying.

That's on Moore, and he has done that several times this season. He got paid. He has to be better.

Or maybe Moore is able to make a diving catch on the play if he doesn’t stop his route. Just lazy and the last guy I’d expect that from on this team, but this isn’t the first time he’s quit a route this year. Hopefully this doesn’t become a trend for him now that he’s gotten the biggest payday he’s ever going to get.

Williams threw before he would've noticed that he had slowed down. That's not the type of situation where the QB overcorrected (in the wrong direction).

Even if Moore had been sprinting with the plan to Forrest Gump it out of the stadium, that throw would've been out of his reach. A hope for a miracle dive would've been a prayer at most.

Plus, Williams has a pretty established tendency to overthrow his targets so far.

Eventually those are going to end up as turnovers.

Agree that was def an overthrow regardless of Moore's route. And he took another sack before that. That's why this team kicks FGs instead of scores TDs.

That definitely wasn’t DPI, and I’m not even sure that was worthy of a defensive hold call on Stevenson.

Is there a team that throws over the middle of the field less than we do? It seems like we never even try, especially in the 8-15 yard range.
