I think it’s what Flus and Getsy have said previously...thats the best way they believe to beat a blitz heavy defense. I don't disagree with that totally...it gets the ball out quick, my biggest issue is that there was nothing built off of any of those plays to slow the db's down from crashing hard on the receivers. Getsy never made them second guess themselves one time! And my God it became so obvious when they were being called. And the lack of in breaking routes to the middle of the field when they were leaving it wide open was maddening!
Now let’s see whether the Bears learned anything and will open up the offense in the coming games. If they stick to what they have been doing, the darker theories come into play.
So according to ESPN the Vikings blitzed Fields on 52% of his drop backs. In comparison, in their first meeting, the Vikings blitzed Fields on 71% of his drop backs(12 of 17), and they blitzed Bagent on 93% of his drop backs!!! So maybe Aikman was right.
I know someone mentioned that maybe Getsy doesn't trust Fields to throw the ball down the field...and that would be one of the dumbest things ever, and be just another of many indictments on Getsy. Fields has thrown 5 touchdowns and one interception with a passer rating of 112.5 on throws of 20+ air yards this season. CLEARLY the dude can throw it down the field.
