Honeymoon over for Fields?

Could easily have the same record as us next week,  and Fields could easily run crazy on our D.

If we let him pick us apart I’ll be soooo pissed. This kid is not good. We need to show up.

I'm not worried about his passing,  but as part of their rushing attack I can see him moving the chains on us.

Fields is probably more who I thought Hurts was: spy him and he can't beat you. But Hurts is obviously a lot better pocket passer than I thought. 

Fields has just been terrible, but they can beat us if we don't stop the run and our offense doesn't do a better job of converting red zone trips into TDs. 

Still, should take a 4-1 record into Miami for our date with Teddy, and then a much needed bye to try to tighten up various problems. 

Stop the run and the Vikings win.

This.  It's why I hope Donatell comes out aggressive on defense at the start. Load the box and stop the run to put them in 3rd and long and show blitz on obvious passing downs (don't always bring it, just mess with his head).  We've played way too passively on defense the past couple games and need to start bringing the unpredictability that a 3-4 defense presents instead of rushing 4 from the same spots like we have been.  If we can get up early, we cruise.  If we let them hang around we'll be in another close game.

I watched Todd Bowles play passive D last night the first 1/2 vs Chiefs and Mahomes killed em...Made me think about Donatell right away. 

Not digging the 2 safety high look the Vikings are in so frequently.

with our corners, you have to have  S help.  even Fields can chuck it up over the D and let a WR outrun P2 for a long gain.

The rumor about him is pure b.s.   But the reality of how bad he performs is not.   

I still think the Poles wants to dump him and draft a new guy next year.

I remember the talk about trading up for him.

that was pretty much by one poster, who has had the fortitude to stand by his pre draft position.   lots of people wanted to move up for lots of players,  many of them will remind us all after the fact when their guy becomes a stud,  very few have the cahonas to stand by their guys when they flop though and I think we are getting close to seeing that bust/flop label applied in Chicago.

I'm not that guy, but I wanted Fields too...I was plenty po'd when the Bears got him (I believe) at 11? and we were sitting at 14?

The Saints ran 16 times for 73 yards in the second half, running six times for 38 yards on their nine-play touchdown drive to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Alvin Kamara was out with a rib injury, but the Saints used veteran running backs Mark Ingram and Latavius Murray (as well as quarterback Taysom Hill) for a series of downhill runs against the Vikings in the second half.

The Vikings' struggles to contain the run in the second half are worth keeping in mind after they have allowed 302 rushing yards in its past two games. Their next opponent, the Bears, have the third-most rushing yards in the league

Bears are one dimensional. If the Vikings lose to the Bears, they deserve it.

The Bears don't t draft and develop   QB's.

Well that sounds strangely familiar
