Chicago Bears intend to file a complaint against the coaching staff due to…

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Bears quarterback Justin Fields was open and honest Wednesday at Halas Hall when asked about his early struggles and what happened in the Bears’ 27-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.

Fields said he felt he played “robotic” vs. the Bucs and wanted to get back to playing free and not thinking so much.

When asked why he felt he played “robotic,” Fields gave a detailed answer about how much information the coaching staff gives him and how it’s slowing him down.

“You know, could be coaching I think,” Fields said. “At the end of the day, they are doing their job when they are giving me what to look at, but at the end of the day, I can’t be thinking about that when the game comes. I prepare myself throughout the week and then when the game comes, it’s time to play free at that point. Thinking less and playing more.”

After Wednesday’s practice, Fields called reporters over to his locker to clarify that he wasn’t blaming the Bears’ staff. It starts and stops with him.

“I’m not blaming anything on the coaches,” Fields said. “I’m never going to blame anything on the coaches or my teammates. Whatever happens in the game, I will take everything. If it’s a dropped pass, it should have been a pass. It’s on me. Put it on me. Never will you hear anything come out of my mouth to where I will blame it on someone else, this organization, my teammates, never will you hear that. Just wanted to clear that up. I need to play better. That’s what I should have said in the first place. I was trying to give detail. I appreciate you all for what you do.”
