OT: Bears & NFL Talk 102

[Backyard Hockey]

The decision to go for 2 decided the game. Fire him now

 

[HeisenBaez]

Fire Poles and Eberflus already

Neither should have a job

Not on a short week.

If the Lions beat the Bears bad enough maybe the Bears will fire Flus.

Football is not fun.

 

[hawksrule]

So Chicago Bears.

Alright, going up against probably the best team in the league, away, short week, on Thanksgiving, and they have been eating teams alive defensively recently. How are we feeling about that one?

Easier to swallow a blowout loss with a healthy serving of turkey? That's what I was thinking too.

 

[ClydeLee]

Loser point secured

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Think about that. Min has 2nd and 15 and 1st and 29 and they convert both and score

Lions -9.5, ML -600

Caleb’s good atleast. Sucks for you clowns that’s cheer for everyone to suck

They still will cheer for that and never mention anything good in regards to him.

What was the f***ing point of that anyway? Killed all of the momentum

It ended up not mattering. They scored on the 2 point conversion after the final TD, so they got 14 points out of it anyway. Maybe they could have gone for 2 and kicked a field goal to win the game, but do we really believe Flus would do that?

 

[Romang67]

On the one hand, Brown also abandoned the run this game. On the other hand, man was it bad today. Not sure you can have a worse combo than the Vikings' linebackers and Swift's aversion to running between the tackles.

The WR screens basically did what the run couldn't anyway.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I know it’s hyperbole but again the defame and Flus’ decision lost them the game. This is on him.

 

[Romang67]

Schedule turns out to be fairly positive for the Fire Eberflus movement. Last year the latter half of the schedule was considerably weaker than the front half, especially offensively. Seemed like Eberflus was on to something with the defense. In the second half so far, they allowed 8.5 yards per play to the Packers and 7 yards per play to the Vikings.

Or I guess the defense could have a strong showing from now until the end of the season and prove to everyone that Eberflus is a quality defensive coach

 

[bwanajamba]

Losing another heartbreaker is extremely frustrating of course but considering that this season is already lost, this game went absolutely perfect imo. Caleb was great and delivered yet another clutch moment while Eberflus got exposed again and the draft position improved.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

These games just continue to be a massive indictment on Flus and Poles.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Crazy to think that ST cost the Bears 10
points today.
