OT: Bears & NFL Talk 102

[Romang67]

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.

He keeps doing it!

Hail Mary: The yards didn't matter.

Blocked field goal: didn't need any extra yards to get a bit closer.

Today: I'm good with how we handled the timeout situation.

 

[Romang67]

Will 4 wins net a top 3 pick?

Not with the toughest schedule in the league it won't.

I don't desperately crave a top 3 pick this draft. I'm not sure teams are going to pay a lot to trade up this draft, and the best players in the draft are not on positions the team should look at. As of right now. Maybe Carter, if you think he's considerably better as an NFL prospect than the other top DEs or Olinemen.

Shows poor coaching. Again, it seemed like the Players expected the TO to get called thus were not rushing to get back. It was 3rd and 26. Need a few yards to make it closer to a 50 yard attempt or less. Not getting a 1st on 3rd and 26. Need a FG to tie. But, once he decided not to call the time, where was the rush on the rest of the team to get back and be ready. Cause, once you get down to like 20 seconds left, you can't call the TO before the 3rd down play cause then an in bounds play without TO, officials need to allow time for the Lions to sub their guys in thus may not even get the Kick off. Shows a lack of situational football awareness and coaching.

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

This makes me crazy. It’s a very small person who can’t admit to obvious mistakes.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Listening to some of the players comments after the game leads me to believe the players are simply done with Eberflus. Good coaches put their teams in position to win, Eberflus does the opposite.

What Allen said is pretty damning.

 

[Pez68]

Another room temperature IQ head coach for the Chicago Bears. This guy will be lucky to coach high school football once he's fired.

What did he say?

Edit: Never mind. I was 2 seconds too fast.

[HeisenBaez]

What Allen said is pretty damning.

Absolutely.

 

[southsideIrish]

Yeah even with the Bears history with coaches I'd be truly stunned if he makes it the remainder of the year. Local media, national media, the fans, everyone's had it.

 

[Romang67]

Has Everett seen the field since Brown took over as OC?

 

[hawksrule]

He’s single-handedly blown more winnable games in a season than any coach I can remember. It’s basically an insult to fans to bring him back at this point.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Fox half time show and everybody on the panel ripping into Eberflus.

Cliffsnotes?

 

[Romang67]

What funny/soulcrushing ways of losing a game does Eberflus have left to try? We've had final drive turnovers, blocked field goal, last second Hail Mary against.

Maybe forgetting to call a timeout and accidentally letting time run out?

f***ing called it.

 

[StreetHawk]

Cliffsnotes?

Kind of obvious. Call the TO with 30
Seconds. Rookie QB and first time OC who just got the job in Nov.

Get some yards and then rush the FG unit out if needed. Plenty of time to do that.

Once it got to 20 seconds left calling a TO then is almost pointless as you are then limited to sideline plays as you need 15/16 secs minimum to rush the FG unit while also allowing the lions to sub guys on and they won’t exactly be hurrying into the field.

22/23 seconds is the like drop dead time to call the TO. Still goes you 6 seconds to run a play and just enough time to rush the FG unit on. At 20 secs that’s a really quick play and Det would be wise to jam the WRs vs play off.

 

[Romang67]

Everyone is just piling on. There is no way he's coaching the Bears next Sunday.

 

[hawksrule]

What he keeps f’ing up is the easy crap. The obvious shit everyone knows. Obvious shit that he must know. Basics. My take is he simply can’t think under pressure, loses his composure, and unravels. I don’t know what other explanation there can possibly be. Not everyone is made for the spotlight.

 

[TLEH]

This is the most the national coverage has gone in on a coach in a long time. So avoidable. This is why I’m on the team fire Poles too. This was sooooo obvious. If you can’t make the obvious moves then why the f*** are you here?

 

[Backyard Hockey]

The fact that this happened in front of 10s of millions of viewers will be the linchpin for him to be canned tomorrow

 

[hawksrule]

Poles has to be gone after the season. New gm will hire the new coach. Poles is 3-14, 7-10, and now 4-8. What are we clinging to?

The fact that this happened in front of 10s of millions of viewers will be the linchpin for him to be canned tomorrow

They can now share in our incredulity.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Cliffsnotes?

Jimmy Johnson, "73 years of coaching and I've never seen that level of dysfunction that I saw today with the Bears losing that game". He was the most animated.
