⭐⭐⭐OFFCAIL⭐⭐⭐IGT: Bears vs Packers (Pink Slip Blues, Home Field Boos & ****ing Fake News Edition)

[Heidenlarm]

He doesn’t have the leg strength long so his balls have to come out super low and increase the probability of being blocked. That’s the reason why he’s so good short, then drops off significantly above 40. He’s got the accuracy not the distance which…is fine, but his head coach should know that.

Eh. I get it, but I think that's more nitpicking than anything. The focal point should be the blocking or rather if it were a penalty for the reason for the block. If the blocking sucks I doubt an extra 2-3 yards is gonna help.

 

[Heidenlarm]

How many yards do you think the Bears would have gained by running one more play, and how many people deep down think they would have made a 45 yarder but missed the 47 yarder? It’s the Bears and they are playing the Packers, shit like this happens, The Bears against anyone shit happens.

A 47 yard field goal in this day and age is a chip shot almost, and even though Santos does not have a booming leg he is around 80% between 40 and 49 yards. The problem was the pathetic blocking on the field goal.

Say what you will about Caleb, the Bears are 4-6 and 2 of those games he put them in position to win with less than 5 seconds left and the rest of the team blew it. I didn’t see blaring issues with Eberpuke today and don’t know what the percentage was but with 3 seconds left and a 47 yard field goal to win it had to be over 80% chance to win and the Bears lost again. Its a loser franchise, they find ways to lose. I am at least happy to see Caleb, while certainly not perfect, play much better and show some balls in the end. Now they can lose out, hopefully Caleb progresses, and Flus has a bazooka shoved up his arse and shot into space.

Bears are two plays from being 6-4 rather than 4-6. A hail Mary and a blocked kick.

I don’t completely disagree but…they burned off like 30 seconds with two downs left. That’s easily enough time to try a couple quick outs and get 10+ yards not 2-3.

You risk an incompletion and stopping the clock though.

I actually don't think it was the wrong decision.

When you take a look at the play, the issue was the center and right guard let a defender walk right in between them without trying to stop him and jump straight up.

If you get 8 more yards it’s a range that Santos has never missed from. It absolutely was the wrong decision to settle for a long FG.

Then you run on 3rd down to setup the kick. I think they should have just ran it twice and hope one breaks after GB called the timeout.

Or risk losing a game with an extremely low trajectory kicker who is only 75% from 40 plus though? I’m kind of purposely being a smarmy asshole on purpose but…you aren’t winning a SB this year anyways. **** it, give your rookie QB a chance to win the game and get them closer. We’d all have pitchforks if they try to throw it an CW takes a sack or throws a pick but from a rational standpoint…at least that’s an opportunity for a lesson learned for a young QB worst case scenario. That’s the entire problem with retaining Flus, he coaches like he’s fighting to retain his job and a couple extra wins matters so he’s pissing his pants and playing ultra cautious. Realistically…**** it, no team has ever won a SB with a rookie QB so coach to develop the kid.

 

[HeHateMe]

Cairo Santos has hit 47 yarders routinely.

You're being a little stupid

You're saying it's stupid to use resources to put a player in a better situation to succeed. Make this make sense.

 

[Myk]

Yes. Draft Oline 1st and one of the 2nd rounders.

That will be 3 high picks invested on Oline in 3 years for a position group that only starts 5 guys.

The rest of the picks have to be invested on the defense. Need another pass rusher. Run stopping beef on the dline. They might need 2 safeties. Stevenson is gone and they need speed at LBs.

GB punted once today…once

The talent on the field isn't the problem. It's the talent on the sidelines. Better players aren't going to help when the HC won't use them.
Why would GB punt when Flus gives them free plays?
Have you not noticed under Flus teams go for it if there is a 4th down because Flus gives it away most of the time?
To be fair it won't matter who's on oline as long as Morgan is the coach too.

Wanting to cut Stevenson instead of coach him only proves my point. You want to waste when it comes to defense, skimp when it comes to offense. 2 whole picks on oline to protect the QB and make it possible to score. A long list for defense when there's only 3 players in the 1st string that aren't high picks to play prevent and give away scores. You deserve this team.
Especially since Stevenson's pick could've gone to a center.

The McCaskeys sold you a bill of goods and you believe. So you do indeed deserve this.
You trying to justify doing the same damn thing the Bears always do expecting it's going to eventually work when it hasn't for 40 years only proves you do deserve this.

I mean we're talking about the Real Housewives of Arlington Heights here. If they ran and the rb fumbled, if Caleb threw an incompletion/pick you know most would have been they should have kicked, Santos is automatic in that range blah blah. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

 

[run and shoot]

Another last minute.

That’s what happens when you’re one of the most incompetent organizations in the NFL right? lol. If you’re Mike Tomlin or Andy Reid and make either of those decisions no one says shit. If you’re the Bears, you absolutely have lost the benefit of the doubt so you coach scared. Especially against the Packers.

Just imagine they do call a 10 yard route and a GB corner jumps the route for a pick 6. Flus would probably be fired and he knows it. So instead he plays it safe and at least has a fall person in Santos or the line with a miss. That’s one of the core issues I see with the franchise. They essentially operate with a little brother mentality when realistically…you’re the Chicago fucking Bears, you should be the boss of this division.

The Lions were such a dumpster fire for the longest time. The Vikings have always been the Vikings, basically mid. Even the Packers aren’t THAT fucking good. They had 30 years with Hall of Fame quarterbacks and managed to win two Super Bowls. That’s not that impressive.

The Bears should absolutely be the team in the Division that puts their foot on other teams throat and crushes them. Instead…just decades of incompetence. When you look at dysfunctional organizations, they’re about on par with the Browns, Jags, & Jets.

Pat Mannelly crediting good coaching on GB for recognizing a specific weakness on the Bears FG unit and attacking from the opposite side vs. conventional football with huge success as a result. Must be nice to have coaches that pay close enough attention to detail to notice weak blockers on the FG unit of all things, meanwhile Waldron asked Deandre Carter to run block a DE because he forgot Allen was out. I know thats not super fair to the Bears because Waldron has been fired but you fucks hired him in the first place.

Multiple players from the Packers FG defense unit stated after the game that they noticed Santos’ low trajectory in film study and expected the Bears the run another play because a kick from that range would be easier to block. The Packers special teams players are literally smarter about Bears players than their own coaching staff. And these aren’t like some prodigal NFL minds; they’re on the special teams unit, most of them are near the bottom a 53 man roster. That’s how incompetent that Eberflus and his staff are.

How many years ago? He sucks!

Team is done for the season...They will be demoralized after this game

I think the opposite about the demoralized part but they done anyway. We missed Brisker big time today. His bravado and the teams carelessness has cost us big time.

I think we all noticed that from longer distances. But hey, why run a couple more plays?

He’s a complete joke. Saying he felt “confident” with where they were on the field is almost as bad as saying the 10-15 yards before the Hail Mary “didn’t matter.” I’m not saying fire your head coach over press conference statements but if he actually believes those things…he’s a fucking idiot.

No one here will debate the man’s idiocy and incompetence, he is an ass stain

 

[HearshotKDS]

WTF was Flus doing calling Cover 1 on the 2nd & 6 that resulted in the bomb to Watson at the end of the 4th - you do NOT have the horses on DL to be making "get home or get burned" gambles with the game on the line.
