Since November 9th of last year. Fields last win at Soldier field was September 25th against the Texans. That game was also the last time the Bears were above .500

    Bagent is doing exactly what you’d want your backup to do, which is not lose games. But if my playoff bound team lost the starter right before the wild card round and he had to start, I’d have big concerns.

    I think all he’s really done is ensure he’s going to be on a roster as a backup for years to come, which is a great gig to have.

      Yup. As long as he stays healthy he has an NFL job until he’s 30 and he’s earned it thus far.

      Except he was the main reason they lost to the Saints. 4 turnovers leading to short fields.

          I think the opponents are also very important to consider. They’re not 2-2 if they had to play nearly anyone except the Panthers and Brian Hoyer/McDaniels Raiders.

      Exactly. You don’t need him to play at starter caliber, though you dream of having a backup who can. You want your backup to be able to play just well enough to keep the boat afloat until the starter is back. Nobody wants a backup playing a playoff game unless it’s Nick Foles in Philly.
