Kyyle23 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 As soon as they got to that marker you could tell Flus decided they were kicking right from there, roll the clock down then kick. Zero thought of moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagy and Trestman. This has been a time honored tradition for bad Bears coaches. They all p**** out and decide it's not worth risking a fumble when the field goal at 40+ yards is by no means a gimme.

The last one was Washington being surprised they got 13 yards for free to set up the hail mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His kicks tend to be at a lower angle because of this. No one actually has to study film during the week to show it. It is known. He is super accurate under 40, but 50 yards is pretty much his max. Anything over 40 and it's pretty much a line drive kick. That said, our coach should know this too. That's why you make sure that at the end of the game you get him as close to 40 yards or less. What a complete clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably right, but does Poles getting another coach like Mike Vrabel, Kliff Kingsbury or Ben Johnson actually do anything? Or is it truly the ownership change that is needed since they Bears everything up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Sucks so much that Caleb has had two game winning fourth quarter drives, something we were desperate for the last several years…and we lost both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurtCG Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Another season where the Bears are playing for draft position. When does the madness end? Everyone on the coaching staff and even front office deserves to be fired at this point as the Bears still seem years away from being a legit playoff team. Houston and the Commanders are proof that you can turn around a franchise very quickly in the modern NFL. Enough is enough with the Bears and all these excuses.

I’d still take a talented roster over talented coaching staff, the best coach in the world can only do so much with a shitty roster, but if anything, you need both for a successful team. Can’t remember a situation like this one in my sports fandom, where it’s just so evident the decisions being made on the sidelines are impacting the results this much. They have failed at historical levels when you consider how many games they have blown with 95% odds to win a game in the 4th quarter.

This is why people who say Poles should be fired because "he hasn't done anything other than one lucky trade" are way off base. He fixed their huge cap issues, he ingested some talent into the team including a franchise QB. He does have some flaws which he needs to shore up, but the most frustrating thing is Flus is holding the team back. 2 hours ago, Harry Chappas said: Football is as much about coaching as it is players.

This is the way. This team needs 3 new, impactful OL. I do not want to see Tevin Jenkins on this team. I don't want to see Ryan Bates, who somehow is less available than Tevin being a component to this line. I don't want to see Coleman Shelton. If you need to move Darnell Wright inside, then do it.

In the end, Eberflus is not head coaching material. Too many mistakes by the actual coach that he blames on execution. Time management has been awful (yesterday aside). Using timeouts, Hiring coaches, holding them accountable, holding players accountable, holding himself accountable, etc. He's just not a guy who can run the whole shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he would make the same call again, then later said “well yea I would have liked to get a little closer” dude what do you have to lose anymore? Let it rip.

Chisoxfn Posted November 18 Author Share Posted November 18 Will be interesting to see how they respond vs Vikings. Flores runs a defense that can throw fits on a rookie qb so curious how Caleb and offense follow this week up. Would be great to see more positive momentum from Caleb and the offense.
