Honestly I’d rather the season go down the tubes then to be playoff fodder as the 7seed and watch Eberflus get more time to fuck up the Bears long term. How the fuck does a team get goal to go from the 4 but not run play action once? And then to run an option play from the pistol formation on 4th down??? Who the fuck thought that would ever be a good playcall?? They left the roster’s best RB off the field that entire series.
you mean like the Nagy years??? yeah, I agree. draft high next year, fuck it.

We're watching Bears 101 in how to fuck up a rookie QB. If they were intent on Caleb starting from the jump, they should have cleaned house and brought in an offensive minded HC to bring him along. If they wanted to keep Flus, then they should've never traded Justin and just forced Caleb on the bench to start his career. Instead, the Bears did the ultimate Bears thing with lame duck HC/retread OC.
Jeez.....you people

Keeping fields and drafting caleb at 1.1 was NEVER an option

Gice up these scenarios

Exactly this. The Bears think it's a great idea to draft a new QB but keep the HC that is essentially on the hot seat this year. If he has an abysmal year then you likely fire him (any other organization would but this is the Bears so you never know) which means Caleb will have two different HC's and two different OC's in his first two years. It's so idiotic.

That is not how you develop a young QB.

Eberflus should've been fired last year, and likely would've been if his defense hadn't show some promise after the Sweat trade. No one can be surprised at his poor game management when we saw him lose franchise record leads multiple times last year. Today, we saw the bonehead timeout because he didn't have his staff prepped to go for 2 instead of the PAT and then burned another timeout at the 5 minute mark which he somehow tried to justify in the press conference as conserving time, both timeouts could've left some opportunity in the final 2 minutes. Eberflus is just the defensive coordinator version of Matt Nagy but at least Flus has managed to still get decent output from the defense where Nagy just flopped after year 1. Sadly, without replacing him last year, it means another clean house clearing of the coaching staff, a restart for CW under a new offensive scheme and hopefully some type of experienced Coach is willing to come in and take a chance knowing Poles will be on the hot seat next year and might be gone along with a 1 year coach if they don't get it right. Firing Flus this offseason was the easiest way to synchronize the time horizons for the different levels of leadership and the Bears were duped by a new beard, cheap stylist and defense that trended up to the top half of the league in the last 8 games of the season last year.

Or a Flus extension. I'll bet the extension.

You know the head coach hired the offensive coordinator right?

The sports talk radio personalities in Seattle knew this was a bad hire.
Sports talk radio personalities are critical of literally everything. Leave it to you to think they're experts.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
Not shocked at all by this stat. How many first down plays are resulting in runs for a loss right now?

If you can get better at one thing each week, this has to be the lowest-hanging fruit to get after, right?
There's no rhyme or reason to the coordination of their offense. I don't know what run game scheme they're trying to run but it looks like a highly incompetent attempt at some sort of zone scheme that makes no sense.
