Yep. Three INT’s now, and all of them were poorly thrown. 

Yeah he was behind the receivers .

Bagent will get another shot at it with plenty of time. Unfortunately they will have to go 98 yds to get a TD.

It’s time to cut Velus

He doesn’t deserve the respect, but my god - that replay showed the defender holding him for 5+ seconds. The second Jones attempted to push off, a flag was thrown. 

3rd down and 4 . Pass batted down. Punt. Facemask penalty on Bears on Velus Jones. 15 yards .NO gets the ball again in Bears territory.

LOL so now NO doinks one off the upright from 47 yds. Still a 1 score game. Another chance.

Another holding penalty this time on D. Wright.

The second half offensive performance was just gross 

TB was Saints best player he was awful 2nd half 

That's all she wrote. Bagent under pressure fumbles after the hit NO recovers.

They were rolling out getting some QB runs and moving the ball and scoring in the 1st half. Went back to having to win in the pocket in the 2nd and sucked.

CJ Stroud looks amazing

Night and day between the 1st and 2nd half for him. Hostile environment . Bears outcoached 2nd half. NO made adjustments.

Good observation.

It’s funny how everything worked out for the Texans picking second in the draft. Lovie Smith helped them more than they ever could have known. If Texas did have the number 1 pick, would they still have drafted Stroud? I’m sure they’ll say yes; but I doubt it. 

I wonder if we’ll be saying the same thing next draft, where Williams will draw the #1 pick but Maye ends up being the better quarterback for whoever picks him.

3rd and 10 Kmet catch for 11.

Another INT for Bagent. Just couldn't find any open receivers for most of the downs. Had time just nothing there.

On the INT you're referencing he threw it behind the target to the DB.  The other two were failure to read the defense.  Either way the bloom is off the rose with him.

Hopefully Fields gets the ball the rest of the way. I have seen enough of the Bagent experience and want to get a better sense of needs headed into 2024 and want to see how Fields finishes out the year.

This offensive line is disgusting. Need at least 3-4 new guys this offseason.

Did Poles and company screw up big time by trading away the #1 Pick? Cj Stroud was sitting there for the taking... 

Hopefully Fields closes the season out strong, gonna be interesting if he has some up and down games though. If the latter happens, then I think it's time to move on. 

I don't want a DC, but Mike MacDonald of the Ravens is putting together a hell of a resume. 

Not forever opposed to D coaches, however, the bummer for him is being tied to offensive staffs that would be hard to pull from. Todd Monken is awesome, but who knows what of that staff is worth betting your offense on around him. 

Same problem for Lou Anarumou for cincy. Not sure there is that much excitement about what Zac Taylor actually runs to pull from that offensive staff.

Meanwhile, Demeco Ryans was able to pull from Shanahan and found a gem in Bobby Slowik.

 

Tyson obviously sucked, but really, what he's done as an undrafted free agent rookie, is pretty incredible. I'm not saying he's Peyton Manning, but his rookie QBR is very similar, even after yesterday.

He had an awful quarter - but he is super easy to root for and I still think he has some really positive qualities. It's interesting - what makes a team give a longer run to say him than a Gardner Minshew who clearly is a very good back-up but nothing more.  Romo somehow got that run despite whatever limitations prevented him from being drafted. 

Tyson's work ethic is good and he has thrown some really good balls and thrown guys open really well. Where do you draw the line and say - no he isn't good enough or do you go, wow, just imagine what a year under his belt and where he could go. Cause I'll be honest - I have no idea.  

With Fields - I know exactly why you give him time - you see it in the unbelievable physical attributes, but at the same time, you have pause and wonder whether he can minimize the negative plays (you know he can make the big plays) but can he take the easy plays and minimize the bad ones.  

Note: Bagent hasn't minimized the bad ones, given how many turnovers he has done.  He has minimized the sacks though.

They screwed up by not getting a better OL. You flip flop Stroud and Fields and Fields is the one throwing for 400 yds and 4 TD and Stroud is the one who is injured from getting hit repeatedly.
