OT: Bears & NFL Talk 102

[Mikitastan]

Remember how we said I’ve never seen anything like that before? I’ve said that 4 weeks in a row

Crazy how this team could have actually won a game, or two, or three in this hard stretch of games.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Please, oh please, can the Bears have some competent coaching?

We're absolutely going to hire Mike McCarthy during the offseason, so no.

 

[bwanajamba]

The six game losing streak:

Hail Mary
Blowout
Blowout
Blocked FG as time expires
OT loss after furious comeback
Leaving a timeout in your pocket as time expires down 3 after a penalty and sack to knock you out of field goal range (after another furious comeback)

Nobody is doing it like this franchise

 

[Paul Allen]

Crazy how this team could have actually won a game, or two, or three in this hard stretch of games.

6, they could have won 6! Unreal.

 

[StreetHawk]

HC needed to call the TO. Rookie QB and and OC in his 2nd or 3rd game calling plays. Worst case after calling the timeout is running the FG unit after an in bounds 3rd down play with about 20 seconds to go which is doable.

 

[Bounces R Way]

popped off again

 

[belfour30]

Nope!

It’s crazy how 6 straight losses could’ve all been wins.

They got destroyed by the Cardinals.

 

[HeisenBaez]

We're absolutely going to hire Mike McCarthy during the offseason, so no.

Do not bring this evil into reality.

 

[belfour30]

Don't say that!

 

[hawksrule]

Lol so Bears.

 

[Crow]

Can't wait to see what new and imaginative way we blow this one.

The Eberflus Era : innovation that excites

Are you not entertained?!

 

[ndgt10]

Eberflus isn't getting fired after all these close losses to playoff teams. He has the team competing well the past 3 weeks.

 

[Romang67]

I hope someone asks Eberflus what he's going to do with the timeout he saved.

 

[Sir Loin]

I hope someone asks Eberflus what he's going to do with the timeout he saved.

He's at the bus station, trying to exchange it for a bus ticket like a god damn crackhead.

 

[Sarava]

I hope someone asks Eberflus what he's going to do with the timeout he saved.

It's like Reinsdorf apparently is planning on lining his coffin with dollar bills. I guess Flus is lining his with timeouts.

 

[Mrfenn92]

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Listening to Olin and Mannelly. They are saying Flus is gone for sure. If a player drops a ball
Or misses a tackle that’s one thing, but this is now 4 games where coaching decisions at the end of the game have specifically lost the game. You really couldn’t make this up.

 

[HeisenBaez]

If the Bears have decided to fire Eberflus, then they should do it by Sunday, and give the interim coach a full week to prepare. Keeping Flus around is good for one thing only....the tank.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Heard great state. There have been 212 coaches in NFL history who have coached 20 or more games decided by one score. Matt Eberflus’ record is 212/212

You can’t make this up.

If the Bears have decided to fire Eberflus, then they should do it by Sunday, and give the interim coach a full week to prepare. Keeping Flus around is good for one thing only....the tank.

This is a mini bye week. Ideal time to fire him. Must be announced tomorrow.

 

[Romang67]

I'd post that Dog Sitting In A Burning Room meme, but I feel like that would be understating it.

 

[jaysoneil]

Off with his head!

 

[Romang67]

I feel like there is a joke to be made about how the biggest f*** up by the special teams unit after Eberflus stated that he would be involved with them this week was that Carter played a punt too passively and just backed off it.

Surely that's the equivalent of soft zone on special teams?

 

[Romang67]

I don't know if I agree with you, Matt.

 

[ndgt10]

Will 4 wins net a top 3 pick?

 

[matt trick]

I don't know if I agree with you, Matt.

This is the shit that drives me bonkers. Even with the shit show we've been watching I think I'd respect him more if he said, "it was poor time mgmt, I thought we had time to get two cracks at it, and I was wrong." With the benefit of hindsight to say, yeah, I think we handled it right, is insane.
