Pass 1 - Though Fields missed the read on this on. Freeze at 2 seconds and Fields has to realize this play is dead on arrival as there are 3 defenders looking at the side of the field Fields is looking to throw but only 2 WRs. That should let him know that on the other side of the Field he has 3 WRs with 3 defenders. If he had checked the other side, he would have seen a guy in the middle of the field open for 5 or 6 yards.
Pass 2 - Freeze this again and 87 is open a bit shorter than Lacy but with more space to run. So probably should have thrown it to him and let him run for the first rather than throwing it tight to Lacy.
Run 1 - He has the TE in space again but holds on the ball a bit too long then has to bail the pocket and run. Gotta pull the trigger on that.
Pass 3 - Money throw and PI on the defender who had an arm bar on Ridley. However, Ridley sort of drifts to the sideline instead of attacking the ball which is part of the reason I think the ref didn't make the call. This was weak effort by Ridley and he really has no business being on the team.
Pass 4 - Thought this was on where Fields should have scrambled to create an opp as even if he completes the pass, too many defenders to get a first. 24 is also open with more space to run albeit on a shorter route.
Pass 5 - Roll out limits his opens so made the right read here.
Pass 6 - Great read and throw but Adams drops it. This one where Adams needs to understand the situation and that he already has the first. He is worrying about running after the catch instead of being content with the chains moving, securing the catch and getting down.
Run 2 - Freeze at 1:17 and Fields should have read that the LB 48 is flat footed and that RB 24 has a one on one and can get over the top of him. Need to throw with a bit more anticipating here but waits a tick to late and instead has to scramble for the first. As it is 4th down, maybe he felt it was too risky to that that shot but depending on how quickly the S that broke to the middle reacts, this is a possible TD pass if he hits it.
Pass 7 - Fields is going to revitalize James career. Beautiful route and throw and this is probably a TD if Fields does lead James a bit too much but can't really complain about this.
Run 3 - Runs for the first here but probably had a window for 46 initially but can't complain about the result.
Pass 8 - Everyone follows Lacy which means Fields should now that the TE should be open in middle of the Field but never checks him before the pressure gets to him. Thinks he is trying to throw this away but almost leave it hanging for a pick.
Pass 9 - This is probably a TD if James times the jump right and actually jumps properly but he is a bit out of sync here and it goes over his head.
Pass 10 - Fields just sails this one. Although not a great read as too many guys on the TE and he has Ridley one on one on although not sure what kind of route Ridley is running.
Run 4 - Nothing there so a great scramble for the first.
Big Hit - Fields and the C fail to check the D prior to the snap and miss the Defender sneaking up. He has to read that and know to get rid of the ball.
Pass 11 - Nothing here and so Fields throws it away.
Pass 12 - Maybe could have thrown this a bit more to the sideline but Johnson has to make this catch.
Pass 13 - This is another pass where with a bit of anticipation he should throw this early as James is about to beat his man. However, he waits a tick too long and the pocket collapse.
Pass 14 - Again Fields is a tick too late to read the pass to the slot WR and has to come off it and check it down.
Pass 15 - Good read and throw here adding a little Mahomes jump pass.
Pass 16 - Nice evasion and safe throw.
Pass 17 - Good movement in the pocket and good pass to the TE.
Pass 18 - This is the play that shows how quickly Fields learns. Similar blitz as the big hit but this time with a CB but Fields makes sure to get rid of the ball a lot quicker this time.
Pass 19 - Feels the pressure and evades the rush and then wisely gets rid of the ball.
Run 5 - Fields does a nice job evading the blitz but this is one where he problem should now look downfield as he had created space for himself. Instead he runs it for minimal gain.
Sack 1 - Probably his worse attempted scramble as he should of scrambled outside to his right but tries to take it up the middle.
Pass 20 - Nice movement but has to checkdown for minimal yards'
Pass 21 - Not a great pass but the TE should have made a better play on the ball. Seems they are worried about getting hit.
Pass 22 - Has to scramble and throw short of the market on 4th down.
