My main takeaway is that we’ve probably regressed on the line. Teven specifically was someone I expected to be an anchor and a guy worthy or a good payday. But everything up front looks really horrible and we can’t even function. Besides that, the whole offense looked pretty shitty, particularly Caleb. Chicken or the egg when your line sucks, but whatever… lots of shit throws. I’m not worried about him specifically, but something has to change.

Bears have to get Johnson before Dallas does.

I guess I’ll just go back to reading my favorite book and drinking my new favorite beer, Corona Premier

I’m surprised Jerry hasnt fired him already.

I was wondering how overrated Johnson is... but I'm sold now seeing all the random creativity he pulls out of his ass. Sign me up.

Yes the Flus capers will have a hard time defending this shitshow.

Kept them to 12 until the hail Mary. Should just be a DC I guess?

Hey you are finally figuring it out! baby steps.

Yep. You're a smart one. Cheers buddy.

Baby Stevenson steps.

Caleb had time to throw on a lot of his drop backs in the first half, but he was wildly inaccurate with his passes.

Serious question….Who are the Flus capers? I’d say 99.9% of this board hates Flus..

Every time he shows some promise, he completely fucks up the following week

I personally don't think Flus has shown any promise. They have beaten a terrible Panthers and Jaguars team and a Rams team depleted by injuries. They honestly should have lost against a bad Titans team. Flus is the HC and he let his OC call the most stupid play of the season on the 1 yard line. That to me is not a HC that shows promise.

He was pressured on a little over half his drop backs. I wouldn’t call that a lot. Was he inaccurate on several throws, yes. However he did step up on the last two drives when the team needed him most. The time Daniels had in the pocket compared to Williams tells the entire story.

To my list of complaints... I can't believe this is what we saw today after two weeks of preparation. I'm pretty substantially shocked the offense was that pathetic all day.

I'll add, is it normal to not do too much football rolling into the bye? I thought it was odd on a Monday interview, they asked DJ about how much film he'd been watching of Washington and he basically did nothing at that point and it was Monday... the whole bye week advantage was thrown in the shitter. I'm assuming this was the case with much of the team.

My impression is that is probably not abnormal for the players. You expect it will be different with the coaches and gameplanning.

Now granted, a very special case, but Kelce obviously wasn't doing much film work on his bye week, ya know what I'm saying?

We’ve seen coaches do it before. In a clear jump ball situation, why don’t you call a timeout and put your 6’6” TE onto the goal line or maybe even one of the best leverage receivers in the league that happens to be 6’2”.

I really wish Poles had gone for a new HC to pair with Caleb.

IIRC, players usually use bye weeks to vacation with their families and get away from the game.

Coaches should be using that extra time to get every schematic advantage they can.

Back to the OP. My biggest gripes:

General lack of preparation. Offense came out with no rhythm. Couldn't execute shit.

The OL still can't pick up 6-man pressures. This has been a problem ALL YEAR. Unacceptable.

No effort to force feed our best players the ball. Moore and Kmet were invisible today.

Waldron is bad at his job. The Kramer thing is obvious; but if he wants to do something different out of that formation, why not a hard play action pass or naked bootleg?

The hail Mary. No pressure. That 3 man rush might as well have been on the sidelines. Walker, Dexter and Martin. Are you kidding me with that group of rushers? Where's Sweat, Booker Taylor. Also, WTF was Edwards doing on that play--spying the QB?

Stealing this from CHGO, but there were no big guys down there for the coverage. Kmet should've been in, Rome should've been down there, Edmunds if he wasn't. He had all our backup DBs in there, who are sub 6'. Didn't even see Terrell Smith who's a bigger CB.

Eberflus keeps finding inexplicable ways to lose. He can't come back next season.

He will have to next year

He will have to next year

My biggest fear is that the Bears limp their way to 8 or 9 wins. I really don’t think the McCaskeys are firing Flus if that is the case. If anything Waldron would be the sacrificial lamb. Then they finally fire Flus after NEXT season and do a complete staff reset so…essentially you just blow two years of development for CW and don’t really start until his third season. Assuming Waldron is the sacrifice after this season, that would be 3 OCs in 3 years. It’s the exact reason why they should’ve fired Flus last season. Perfect opportunity to get a couple top ten picks, turn over the roster, and reset the coaching staff. Instead…they did Bears things and only went 50%.
