Something seems off between Bears and Fields.

I think what happened on Sunday night was just a result of something to talk about for the Bears. They knew we'd get smoked. Regardless I'm pretty sure Fields and the coaching staff won't be back next year. I can't see them giving Eberflus another year. I'll be in awe if they do.

I think announcers are instructed to follow a narrative regardless of its truth. The narrative was the Bagent story and Collinsworth followed it with his usual word salad.

AND

I have no doubt that in the pregame meetings that the production team has with coaches and players someone said something like "If we could combine Fields athletic talent with Bagents processing we'd have an AllPro QB...."

The only sports media people I rate lower than national media types are Chicago sports radio guys. I know many people here like them, I've never felt they are as connected to the local sports scene as they pretend they are. Bernstein especially IMO. I doubt much of what comes out in his show actually has basis in fact.
