From Jahns:
DETROIT — The play call pumped up the Chicago Bears’ huddle. After two short runs, the Bears were going to attack on third-and-9 from their 26-yard line in the fourth quarter. They were going for the kill in the final three minutes.
The players loved it.
“It’s time,” rookie receiver Tyler Scott said.
Quarterback Justin Fields’ first read on the play was receiver DJ Moore. If Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker crashed on Moore’s crossing route, Fields would then look to Scott to his left and go deep.
And that’s what happened.
“Robber coverage,” Fields said.
That left Scott in single coverage against cornerback Cam Sutton.
“He had him beat,” Fields said.
So he took his shot. He had to because he had it. But Fields missed because Scott misjudged the ball. Scott said that after the game. He slowed down briefly when he should have kept running. It’s a play the Bears have practiced plenty. But Scott had to dive to come close to catching it.
(1) That run-run-incomplete pass-punt was purely on Getsy IMO. He took the ball out of Fields hand and run it right into the teeth of the DEF with all its timeouts and the 2 minute warning. Then the shot down field was Getsy thinking....they won't be expecting a long pass, lets chuck it deep.

Other than D.J. Moore this is what the Bears have at WR ^^^^^
A QB has to count on a player being where he needs to be, and when he needs to be there - for these passes to work. I thought Mooney would be good now that DJ is on the team, but he just disappears. Equanimeous St. Brown, Velus Jones, Tyler Scott, Trent Taylor... these are "nothing people" as receivers. All defenses need to do is take DJ out and the play is dead. It makes you want to cry it's so sad... and what was Getsy thinking putting the game on Scott in that situation with trying to hit the long-ball? LOL. It was crazy. Why not just hit the short, high percentage pass and move the chains there? Right?

I think it has more to do with the person passing it to them and the play calling around it. I mean why were passing to a rookie receiver on low a percentage throw in the first place?

The failure of the play itself was 100% on Scott. Fields throw a beautiful ball there. The series as a whole was a Getsy shitfest.
So frustrating to watch garbage like this. Did we draft yet another speedy WR who struggles to track the ball in flight?
Seems like an ability to do that would be a prerequisite of playing the "receiver" position but what the hell do I know. I love how the Bears practiced this play "plenty" but still managed to screw it up in a game.
When you are bad, everything you try looks bad. Scott looked like Velus 2.0 today.

This is why I want us to get Marvin Harrison Jr. I wouldn't even care if we used the #1 overall pick for him. We need more than one person to throw the ball too. I'm glad you're starting to realize Mooney isn't the answer. Some people want to pay him 10 million dollars to disappear on the field.
I've been complaining on Twitter long enough, time for me to unload here.
1) Fields is not to blame! 🏈 73.9 Total QBR 🏈 105.2 Passer Rating 🏈 +15.5% Completion Percentage Over Expectation 🏈 5.8 yards per carry
2) I could blame Eberflus, this was a total team collapse. The end of game defensive performance was at least as bad - if not worse than - the Denver game.
3) I voted for Getsy - 4th Qrt Offense. Yes, he did a good job designed runs for Justin and controlled the clock as you could ask for. The issue is the lack of a kill drive. They had two opportunities:
14:12 • 4th Qrt • 4th-1 • at the Detroit 23 Score Bears 20 - Lions 14
4:15 • 4th Qrt • 4th-5 • at the Detroit 21 Score Bears 23 - Lions 14
If this we were Philly or KC, they put the dagger in their opponent and shut this game down. Choosing to settle for FGs when you know the Lions have the ability to score explosive plays is asking to lose. They put too much responsibility on their defense.
Caveat: I still blame Getsy, but this sound like a reflection of Eberflus and could be dictating these play calls.
