Must be nice to be the Packers. No penalties called even on the most obvious fouls like that illegal hands to the face on the TD pass. Watch the replay.

Love has all day to throw. Must be nice to have guys that can block for you.

Stroud, all day to throw, wide open receivers. Yeah, he's unique......

Texans and Saints or Broncos and Texans? Which way to go?

Hmm, now we want a smaller version of Justin Fields that gets hurt more often?

I don't know, I saw Fields doing a lot of scanning the field last night, it just appeared that he wasn't comfortable throwing in to 7 and 8 man coverage packages with defensive lineman breathing down his back.

17) Justin Fields, Chicago Bears

Justin Fields is one of the most dangerous entities in the NFL, but he’s hamstrung by the Chicago Bears offensive line and schematic structure. Minnesota did not allow him to attack downfield. They blitzed him early and often, forcing the ball out of his hands quickly.

But Fields also needs to do a better job of protecting the football. That is something that the Josh Allens and Lamar Jacksons of the world tend to struggle with. Their endless playmaking efforts put the ball in adverse situations. Fields’s relentless pursuit of wrenching himself out of sacks puts the ball at risk too much.

But if he had time to operate the same way his successor at Ohio State has in Houston … Instead, they’re stuck throwing screens and praying their pass catchers can break a few tackles.

You guys should go to the Vikings sub. Everything we are saying about our QB and coaching staff are exactly what Vikings fans are saying today. It's almost like we are all following the same script. Hilarious.

Or the Denver game we let slip away.

Fumbles are bad. They were rushing only three or four, and had 7 or 8 in coverage. Fields had fewer options and the Vikings took away the passing game in the fourth quarter. You saw Fields holding the ball and looking all over for open guys, I guess there weren't any. It's not like he was pulling the ball down and running without thinking pass first. Apparently no one was there to throw to. That happens when a team is playing 7 back. You saw in some of the wide shots, especially when Fields ran, the linebackers were deeper. The problem I saw all night was when the Vikings didn't blitz, their four guys were still beating our 5 or 6 guys and getting heat on Fields. However, Fields did make several impressive plays, running out of the pocket and finding open receivers. Overall, he had a good, not great game. The defense was ridiculously good last night. The only downside I saw was again, the terrible play calling. People say "well Fields can't throw down field more than five yards" First, that isn't true. Second, that's not the game the OC called. I just hope Getsy and Co. don't get it in their heads that last nights gameplan "worked" because it didn't. Moore, Fields, Kmet, and others MADE it work.

Where was this defense in Detroit and Denver?

Holding and intentional grounding
