Yep. Caleb's got a lot of things to think about in that moment. Especially as a rookie. Eberflus has nothing other than clock management to think about. He had to be better, but he wasn't, so now he's fired.
Caleb threw a 5 yard pass that would’ve won the game 5 yards short of DJ Moore’s feet when he had absolutely zero pressure in his face. We were flustered because of all the criticism from you scornful ladies throughout these weeks had in the back of his mind that if we don’t get a few extra yards here before calling time out Santos is going to get his field goal blocked again or miss from beyond 50 and I’m going to get the blame so I can’t call a time out right here. I was a bad decision on his part but it was heavily waited by the vicious criticisms he’s received from you retahd fans over the previous weeks
@@franciscocruz7478bad ? Losing 19 games by a score is trash umm no it's coach management bears are a way better team than the record this been going on since 2006 terrible coach management and decision marking it was never the teams talent
How the players react on the field shows how they are coached in practice. In the end it always comes down to the coach, and by extension the coaching staff in full!
Not all players can be coached equally which is why certain teams don’t sign certain players. The owners general manager and Ryan polls they all hold more blame here then even the head coach.
The blame goes to Matt Eberflus. Caleb Williams is a rookie QB and while he has no excuses either, Matt Eberflus needs to lead by example and know what is what.
I agree, QB's learn from this .. but if the head coach can't protect the QB from himself in a clock management situation for the game.. why is he a head coach?
@ plus Rookies although they really aren’t rookies when it comes to the fundamentals, shouldn’t be held accountable for mistakes on the field. But Part of the blame goes to Caleb Williams cause he could’ve stepped up and called timeout too
@@koreankid1011hard to call a time out when you’re on the ground after just taking a sack cause your o line doesnt block anyone. Whats the point of having coaches if the QB has to do their job?
Caleb said he didn’t get the play till 15 damn seconds , then Matt wanted them to re rack the play which means do the play again and Caleb said they didn’t have enough time to do the play so that’s why he switched . Also Caleb said he didn’t call a timeout because he didn’t have command to call a timeout . The head coach is in charge of time management
@@jctslice *Calm down genius, the sack was not his fault if you watched the play develop, both offensive tackles let their pass rushers in instantly not allowing CW to even do a thing.*
Shady has a point about the players, but he doesn't follow the Bears and can't appreciate the context. Dumb penalties by players are a result of lack of discipline, and instilling discipline is the HEAD COACH'S responsibility. That and other mistakes Eberflus is making with relation to clock management and bad decisions in situational football have been happening since he became the coach, and he's continued to make the SAME mistakes 3 years in. Thankfully he was just fired, so as a Bears fan, I'm relieved that he will no longer be a problem going forward 🙏
@ansonjackson6254 I see you didn't answer the question bc it would point the bs. Who are the undisciplined players? Do the refs not call iffy bs? Let's be fr players make mistakes doesn't make you undisciplined. The roster still have holes at the lines.
I've been in management for a long time. If your staff is sloppy and undisciplined, it is a direct reflection of the management, in this case, the coach. The players definitely made their share of mistakes and errors, but it they do undisciplined things, which means the coach didn't discipline them and allowed it to happen repeatedly.
This is why I think they should trade all the people that got talent and rebuild with the draft. Toxic leadership just lingers in the building long after you are gone. Everybody here has a hand in this screwup and they need to be out the building along with Caleb. This is not Calebs fault but where we are as a franchise, he needs to be on another team where he can thrive as a player. He is the right guy but at the wrong time and place let him be that right guy at the right time for another Franchise.
*The offense wanted to loose the game was my first impression in that last 32 seconds, nobody seem to be in a hurry to run the next play, I think they wanted to loose on purpose to get raid of Matt Eberflus.*
Bad news Bears of football. This is so embarrassing for the franchise not knowing situational football. Blame goes all around. Caleb for taking his sweet old time to run the clock down before initiating the play and for the coach for not calling a timeout.
Yep, Bears shot themselves multiple times in the foot, and you can’t do that against good teams. This team is undisciplined and the worst lapses happen at the most inopportune times. Fair or not, lack of discipline falls on the coach and his assistants, too.
Thank you, man the Bears fans blaming everyone, including the Lions 😂 mostly their coach. The players on the Bears need to take responsibility too. The fans mad at everyone except their own team
Acho trying to make me feel sympathetic for a bunch of men that make hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars to work 6 months of the year and occasionally miss Thanksgiving dinner. Slow your roll, my man.
The reenactment of the field goal is pure gold and highly entertaining. 😂 What make the bear situation worse was how precise and efficient the Green Bay Packers were in executing their field goal plays just before the half-time later in the night.
Williams took 12 seconds to snap the ball and drop back to pass.... ending the game. Even a high school QB would do better. Head Coach is to blame as stated here as well.
They whole scenario literally took damnear half a minute. No urgency what so ever. I needed them to score or get that field goal and go to OT so lions could complete my prizepicks slips lmfao
Coaching is an art especially in football. The Bears 🐻 have the talent/personnel on both sides of the ball to be a real force in the league. Their offseason is very critical because they gotta bring in that guy to put it all together.
Tell me how can a QB call a timeout when hes on the ground after taking a sack because he o line let free rushers at him? You mean to tell me the the head coach who doesnt call any plays for the offense cant look at the field then look at the clock to determine that they need a time out? Whats the point of having coaches then ?
Wait guys!! PUMP the breaks! Caleb Williams was FULLY AWARE that he had a timeout first of all. He addressed this in his post game conference....and what he said was AS A ROOKIE QB HE DOES NOT HAVE THE LIBERTY TO CALL A TIME-OUT in that situation. He said his job was to run the play that the coach called..!! PERIOD. He then went on to say perhaps in his later years (moving forward) that he WOULD take it upon himself to call a time-out in that situation. NOW!!!!! Due to the chaos that developed he looked up and saw he had under 10 seconds left sooooo he came to the conclusion that HE HAD TO GO FOR THE WIN IN THAT SITUATION BECAUSE HE REALIZED THAT WOULD BE THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME!!!!!!!! He had to NOW go Balls to the wall and try to win the game!!! NONE OF THAT IS ON CALEB!!! He says they don't give him the liberty to take it upon himself to call a time-out and he honored their (the coaches) decision.... And I can respect that Caleb respects that AS A ROOKIE!!
Thank you, someone who actually watched the game and the press conference after. The time out should have occurred after he got sacked. At that point you find a play that gets you at least 7-10 yards closer to make it a kickable FG if you dont go out of bounds. Teams most likely in that scenario are gonna guard the side lines. Should you get the yards and get out of bounds then you got time to get the FG unit on the field. 12 year olds who play madden could have managed this situation better than eberflus
He could have spiked the ball to stop the clock. Hero ball doesn't allow for that. He looks great when d relaxes but when D presses he loses it. He took a stupid hit on his knees . He should have ran out of bounds. Poles should have never put the o lines out there that he has since 2022. Fire Poles now! Glad eberlose I'd gone for he never should have been hired. Harbaugh should have been coach here. This mess will only be cleaned up when Poles is gone and we get a kick rear coach who has no leadership council nonsense and a GM who can draft o linemen and D linemen. The Bears are 2 years ( minimally) away from being a good team. Should have drafted 2 offensive linemen this year in first round. Poles trying to build team from outside in. Never works
Now I'm not taking blame away from Eberlose here as he has to be aware that he is in field goal range and has a timeout left and should call it....But for Caleb to say "I dont have the liberty to call a time out in that situation" as an excuse is kind of laughable....It might be my personality here....but if I realise the coach has made a collosal balls up and is going to cause the time to run out....I'm going to call the time out jog to the sideline and then say "Sorry Coach I know I'm not meant to do this, but we have to kick a field goal to tie for OT. Now lets do that and win this thing" If Caleb does that and the Bears win in OT he is a hero....with what he did he looks like a coach "Yes" man and that is why this is even a conversation.
If coach and player had it clear that coach only calls timeouts etc than Caleb just stuck to that We can argue if he should have overruled his HC in that situation (as a rookie) - we could argue as well about the rest of the team taking too long and then we'd be talking about some veteran players. Eberflus is gone... the bears are in a new situation now, in a situation they have never been in since I watch them ( 1980). They got a QB who promises to be elite, a talented overall team (just a few players away from completion), have five more games to try out a new HC as interim before off-season and will know by then who they would like as HC long term. Players will have to show too... (partially they already began doing that since OC change).
Eberflus has held this team back since his arrival. He has no idea what he is doing. That said, Caleb is young, but he will learn a lot of this year. LOL. Lastly, this is mostly on Matt because he is the coach and his job is to manage not only the but, but time. This team also seems to have lost it's discipline under Matt. Today, I am thankful! 🙂
Don't kid yourself, the QB has just as much authority to call a timeout as the coach. He is the #1 pick and people want to treat him like a middle schooler. Caleb shares the blame too.
That’s strictly on Eberflus, if Caleb would’ve called the timeout the media would’ve been saying “he’s defiant and going against leadership.” Caleb did all he could do.
If they get to OT and win the game...no one would be saying that....and if they get to OT majority would be saying "Caleb got us this far with his brain" not hes defiant.
Fields is so good they benched him in Pittsburgh after he played the first handful of games. That says a lot of how they feel about him. Fields is so good that only one team in all the many teams who need a QB in the NFL offered a six round pick.
no we weren't, but it was obvious that he wasn't that good either..... he was literally losing them games last year, while the Bears defense held it down Fields was literally the worst 4th quarter/crunch time QB in the entire league, he was a complete melt down artist with the most inconsistent mechanics and struggled to make elementary reads i don't know why people act like 2 things can't be true at once.... the Bears are a mismanaged penny pinching organization, and Justin Fields still isn't the guy
This was good analysis. There were so many things that went wrong. Lots of blame to go around. Bottom line: Eberflus was already on the hot seat and going to get fired sooner or later, so this debacle just expedited the process. As a Lions fan, I'm frustrated the game even got to this point. Lions should have been up by more than 30 by the 4th quarter. Settled for too many FGs, some in the red zone, Gibbs getting stripped on the 5, etc. This game almost had NFC championship vibes in the 2nd half.
That's Why the HEAD COACH Should have called a Time Out after the sack. You don't know what condition your Rookie QB is in, after that sack. Is he hurt? Did he get the wind knocked out of him? Call the Damn Time Out, and make sure everyone knows what the situation is a ND what we're doing.
Yeah it’s definitely on the players too. They didn’t mention that two receivers up top were confused on which of them were supposed to be on the line as well. So they would’ve called illegal motion if it was snapped at 14 seconds. You just can’t take a sack in that position. Caleb took one of the worst sacks I’ve seen last week in overtime too. He’ll learn but I’m surprised by his lack of awareness in that type of situation. He faced plenty of those scenarios at usc. It’s too bad cuz he played so well in the second half.
Acho being way over emotional. There are a lot of QBs/coaches that wouldn't have taken a timeout. If they rush to the line and get a play off with 20 seconds left, the decision doesn't look stupid. Caleb should not have changed the play. That ball should have been snapped with 15 seconds left and been a short pass for 8-10 yards and then call timeout.
Well he’s just using stats, so kinda the opposite of emotion. And idk what level of ball you played, but what you just described as the plan is also bad enough to be fired for. If you take a sack with 36 on the clock, you immediately call time out and then you get multiple plays instead of one short pass. Idk what you’re talking about but stop spreading your stupidity.
Exactly they only needed 5 yards to get in FG range 8-10 for breathing room. holding that TO was smart, now your FG team doesn't have to rush out and at the very worst their was more than enough time to get two plays off. Call a TO if the first doesn't get you enough yards
@@jamesforeman8028Ideally head coach calls timeout immediately. Once he saw it’s taking too long to get lined up you for sure take the timeout at that point. You don’t let the time run out and force the situation to be a Hail Mary.
@jamesforeman8028 Acho made that stat up because the Bears actually did use a time out and I can think of several situations where that didn't happen, most notably when Russell Wilson threw an int to Patriots in Superbowl. I don't know what world you think that they'd have multiple plays after the timeout when it was 3rd and very long. They likely weren't getting first down. They had one play to get in FG range. Rather than rushing the FG team on the field, which makes a long FG much more difficult. Just throw a quick short pass, get in FG range call timeout for a good FG attempt. If he runs a play quick, it doesn't go against Achos made up stat anyway
He absolutely could not have snapped the ball at 15 seconds because the receivers were moving. It would have been a penalty and a time run off or timeout anyway
People use the word rookie as an excuse way too much. Caleb had years of experience running 2 minute drills in high level college football also. This isn't new for him. He should know the number of timeouts remaining, how much time is on the clock, and what can be done in that time. The NFL only changes the level of players. It doesn't change what to do in the last 2 minutes. The only change is in college the clock stops after a first down which was part of the scenario here.
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx -- Players have responsibility. Players are the first to manage the clock. Caleb called timeout just seconds earlier to prevent a Delay of Game. Players are the first to manage time and the coach is the final check. Even if it is this team's philosophy to have the decision in the coach's hands doesn't mean players shouldn't be responsible for it. I bet the QBs that don't have a part to play in time management are just young or are less equipped than the best QBs to do it. Every QB should do this eventually in their career.
@semi6544 the coaches PRIMARILY manage the clock...PERIOD.The only Caleb is responsible for the clock in that situation..is if they DONT have timeouts..you can't expect a ROOKIE to try and hurry guys to the line,spike the ball,worry about the next play AND call timeout?you can't be serious,smh...what's funny is EVERYBODY knows how this works at the end of games,,,its on the coach!!ALWAYS been that way but now that it's caleb?it's all of a sudden DIFFERENT?..you know why he got fired IMMEDIATELY?it's because it's a HS coach mistake...they don't pay for that and even IF he doesn't call timeout?it's HIS job to make sure the players know what to do in that situation..it's his JOB!!!
If you watched that game it came down to the last few plays, like a bunch of NFL games. The players got them back in the game and the players lost them the game.
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx actually when people aren't qualified for the job they have and they botch it and ruin things for everyone else they work with on a regular basis, then YEAH i do like to see people like that lose their jobs it just means someone who might actually deserve it could get the opportunity, instead of continuing to watch that bozo waste it week after week, year after year
Bears players take responsibility too! The coach is fired, but dam not one person on the team know? When every fan knew there was a TO? Come on these players get paid millions. They can pay attention better.
Its the coach responsibility! The coach is on the side line literally looking as the damn clock. The players have to wait for the play call to come in, look at the defense, possibly listen for audibles. Flus doesnt even call the plays on offense! He literally does nothing when the offense is on the side line. Thats what makes it even more egregious
More at fault is Eberflus. Caleb Williams is a rookie QB. For all intents and purposes, he's still a kid. He doesn't know what he doesn't know yet. I'll always give rookies a pass because they're rookies. It's up to Eberflus to coach/teach the young kid on situational football and all the other particulars. He didn't do that and hasn't been doing that. It's on Matt
@ I said sacks, not just 1 sack. The line has been abysmal, but there has been a few times that they’ve help up and Caleb just holds onto the ball too long.
@@GodLikeMikeLivegood god every qb holds the ball long. You people always say this. If you throw the ball in 1.5 seconds all you’re gonna get is 3 yards hitch routes. You got to let receivers get into their routes and get open. You cant just throw the damn ball and the reciever isnt even looking or the db is drapped all over them. Also, caleb has been getting the ball out in 2.5 seconds and has been good vs the blitz. Its just everyone keeps running to the same narrative when they dont even watch bears games
@ QBs normally aren’t supposed to hold the ball longer than 3 seconds anyways (especially when the O-line is this bad). I’m talking about when nothing is there and instead of throwing it away, he tries to buy time in the pocket and takes a sack. He gets to go thru 1 or 2 looks and if it’s not open, then he’s supposed to check down, run or throw it away. I’m not saying he needs to force the ball to covered receivers. Throw it away, check down or run, it’s that simple. You cannot make the big play every time. I’ve seen him dance around in the pocket trying to buy time way too many times. If you actually watch the games, then you’ve seen it too. The hero ball that he was doing in college has to stop. It does not work in the NFL.
0:33 its so crazy...they went into a hurry up, but then like had a huddle and then like just evaporated the rest of the game away. Meanwhile GB had 22 seconds before halftime and drove down field and scored on a FG
From what I saw, moore and kmet didn't know what to do, literally right in front of Flus. Det also changed their def look, so caleb had to.process.. a timeout was made for that exact scenerio
Shady does have a point. it does make sense to not call a TO. if you call a To there you have no timeouts left, 3rd and 26 at the 41 yard line. you still want to be able to utilize the middle of the field if possible. you cant spike it as then its 4th down. Caleb as an NFL qb has to know the time and react accordingly. you even see the O-line trying to rush it and caleb is taking his time. im not giving him a pass as a rookie as this is something that a HS player should know. you have to know your situation in that scenario and know youre up against the clock. Matt needed to go but im not gonna act like Caleb isnt at fault at all.
Did yall see the game lol.. shady is completely right it’s on both the players and coach. But you can’t blame only the coach when the players take that long to get a play off and Your QB is changing the players take. They wasted over 20 seconds doing that
honestly, the biggest thing is that last TO was never used. If your plan was to run one out route, or something quick up the middle and then use the TO, i understand, but when your team aint lined up and on the same page at 10-15 secs left.. use the TO, and get everyone on the same page. Personally, I don't think Caleb is "the next one" as people proclaimed him to be, but he held the ball way too long, too many times instead of throwing it out of bounds...but as a HC you need to understand that. Dont let him change the play, call the TO.
Daniel, the former QB, was the only one who came close to getting this right. No, Eberflus should not have called a timeout there, and yes, Caleb is to blame. If Eberflus calls a timeout there then Detroit gets to set their defense, and they'll probably do the rush 1 thing like they did earlier in the game and take away the sideline routes. And if you complete the next pass inbounds you can't spike the ball there even if you have time because it will be 4th down. Maybe you'll have time to run the FG unit on, but maybe you won't, that is if you can even get into FG range, which is now going to be more difficult since you've allowed the Lions to reset their defense. So why waste the timeout there when it will only help the other team? The right thing to do there was for Caleb to get everyone to the line, snap the ball quickly, take the easy 5 yard pass to Swift or Kmet, call timeout if they can't get out of bounds, and kick the FG to tie the game. I feel confident that 95% of QBs would have done exactly that, because it's the obvious thing to do. The guy covering Swift was literally giving him a 9 yard cushion. But Caleb let the clock tick down for a good 5 or 6 seconds after his team was lined up and then behaved as if he had to pick up the 26 yard first down lol. It was as if he forgot not only the score but the down as well, in addition to the fact that they had a timeout, as Daniel suggested. Why would you not make sure that you have time to run two plays there unless you somehow thought it was 4th down? It doesn't makes any sense. That was just embarrassingly awful situational awareness by Caleb. If you're still putting all the blame for that one on Eberflus, you're basically saying he should have known that his quarterback was an idiot lol. Honestly I can't believe Acho thinks the smart thing to do there was to call the timeout, and he feels so strongly about it that he thinks Caleb must have thought "well my coach has to be an idiot not to call the timeout" lol. Once again, there was no need to call a timeout there, and doing so would only have helped the Lions defense. It's not the coach's fault that the QB is too stupid to realize that he doesn't have to time to stand at the line of scrimmage for several seconds before snapping the ball lol. It's unbelievable to me how dumb people are being about this.
There's also a reason the man got fired. He's a horrible coach. He has set his team up for failure from the beginning, along with Poles for NOT beefing up their O Line to protect your franchise QB, I know a lot of you football "fans" LOVE to place the blame solely on the players, but you have to use your brain with this one. It was very clearly a coaching issue, given the play wasn't even told to Caleb until 15 seconds had run down.
@@ItrolltRumpers Lol so now it's the GMs fault? Lol quit stanning for Caleb, the only one to blame for him not getting that play off several seconds earlier and throwing for the easy short completion instead of trying to get a first down that he didn't need is him.
I thouight the interview of Caleb was revealing He said he "checked out" of the play that was called for him to be able to get the quick yards needed for thre field goal THAT was the reason they spent so much waisted time at the line of scrimage The coach DIDN"T throw the QB under the bus for this blunder
Nah he literally said he doesn’t have the liberty to make that call as a rookie, regardless if Caleb had been able to call timeouts all season (which he hasn’t) as the HEAD COACH you have to step in and save your team, to leave that game with a timeout in your pocket as a head coach is inexcusable
Ocho is smart but says anything at times . There were millions of Americans working on thanksgiving , so what if they had to play on thanksgiving. Everyone wasn’t at home eating with the family .
I'm calling the timeout after i just got sacked/watched my qb get sacked. Man I wish Brady was calling this game, because there is no qb better than him in these situations.
You only half listened to that press conference Chase. He changed the play because what was called was a short in route, and Caleb saw that there was not enough time to run the play and take a timeout. So he called a play that had a chance to score.
Shady literally had the best take of all these shows on this topic everybody just wanna blame the coach it’s on the QB an his vets offensive players easy to blame the coach when you 4 an whatever they are smh
When a team is as undisciplined and clueless as the Bears this year, it falls on coaching and culture. The players are the symptoms of a bigger issue if that makes sense
He helped his coach out the door. I'm not shocked to hear he did the same thing more than once - and I only saw this time and his post game press conference.
The Rookie who balled out in the 2nd half with 3 TDs against a defense that hadn’t allowed a 2nd half TD in 3 straight games….if anyone blames him for the loss, ignore any football opinions from that person for infinity!
Shady should’ve kept it about just that moment. There’s always a bunch of plays every game that can be broken down. We are talking about the clock management that last 35 seconds. It was 100% on the coach.
I personally feel in my unbiased opinion that if you take the whole game into account I think the biggest factor in the Bears losing this game is the fact that fEminem the ssewejewess |=/-\|
How about that uncalled pass interference where the defender literally ran our guy over without turning around while the ball was about to fall in his lap the defender had no idea where the ball was he just ran our guy over which caused him to not be able to catch the ball but somehow that’s not pass interference? When it’s right in front of the referee 2 feet away
Even the announcers must’ve got some Rap cap action from the fEMINEM trim lady Because they didn’t even want to admit that that was blatant pass interference but when they kept showing the replay they begrudgingly and reluctantly admitted that it was clearly pass interference without making a big deal about it on air
It is 100% Caleb's fault. Eberflus thought there was enough time for a crossing route, TO, and FG. This is the right way to manage the game. But Caleb wasted time by changing the play to a hail mary because he thought there were no timeouts and the crossing route would end the game. But Ebeflus should recognize that Caleb was sacked and a little disoriented.
Everything Shady said was true. The players made committed all those errors, not the coach. BUT, even with all that they still had a chance to at least go to OT. The one error that took away that chance was the head coach a) not calling a timeout with 30 seconds left or b) not calling a timeout when he realized there wasn't going to be enough time for a play timeout, and FG try.
I think this all started with the final defensive play calling against Washington. Allowing a 15 yard reception that allows the receiver to get out of bounds, then only bringing 3 down linemen with an unnecessary spy, as well as not noticing your one member of the secondary. Then you play close against Green Bay, only to allow pressure up the middle (a no-no on special teams) to block the end of game field goal. You allow something similar against the Vikings and have to have another furious comeback just to get it to overtime, and allow the Vikings to pick you apart for the game winner. Eberflus in 1-score games being the worst in the NFL hurts. Is it a talented team? Mostly (that offensive line needs major additions in free agency and the draft). Is part of the issue a rookie Quarterback? Yes. He’s more trying to get big plays than taking the short stuff to methodically drive down the field. He also needs some work on his internal play clock. 5 seconds is an eternity for most plays to develop, so between 2 and 3 seconds the ball needs to either be brought down to run, get out of the pocket to find out if a receiver has broken off his route to admin with the quarterback, or at the very least throw the ball out of bounds past the line of scrimmage to get to the next down. What also hasn’t helped are the offensive coordinators. For the last few years, it was Luke Getsy, who even the Raiders have recently let go, and then you chose Shane Waldron over other options when the scuttlebut was he was mediocre, and even plays that should’ve been installed as early as knowing Caleb Williams was going to be the starting quarterback out of the draft weren’t done. This is why you can’t fully trust a rookie quarterback: they can have a good drive, quarter, half, game, but until it’s consistently shown, you can’t say they’ll be at a level equivalent to a Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and especially not Mahomes.
Eberflus has a lot to be blamed for a lot of this dysfunction. The GM for not trying to fix the O-line from last season, but this game is all on Eberflus.
Yes, that was all on Caleb Williams period! Was it the Eberflus fault that a dumb player was taunting fans in Washington when Commanders completed that fluke Hail Mary a few weeks ago that started their slide, & was it his fault that Williams literally threw a pass on the ground to an wide open receiver on 1st & down that most likely goes for a TD & possible win, which really no one is talking about, & was his fault that Caleb was dumb enough to take another sack on that same drive as he did last week against the Vikings in OT to lose the game? It's sad that Eberflus has to take the hit, but that's it goes when you have dumb players who come super over rated into the NFL & then shrink when they start playing the Big Boys in the pros. I'm a very brown minority, but I've been watching this great for almost 50 years, so I'm going to say what many aren't for fear of getting that a so called "racist" on all sorts of social media networks now. Why is it when now when young Black QB's come into the league with so much expectations in the NFL & then lay an egg many so-called Black NFL analysts are so biased to quickly state that QB is not getting the proper upbringing like some child to make him better, but if it's a White rookie QB & lays an egg, they say he's just a bad QB a la Sam Darnold & Zach Wilson with the Jets? Isn't that what playing in college is for to help these young QB's to understand the game better, but many don't take time to study & even learn how to read zone coverage because they want to rely on their great running ability in many cases. That works great in college, but when you're asked to become also a pocket QB, you stink up the place & then you turn around & blame the coach. Brice Young is a Bust in the NFL & yet many of these clowns on these popular sports talk shows are now saying that he wasn't ready to start in the NFL. CJ Stroud was supposedly the best since Joe Montana as many were raving about, but has also come back to earth some & has become rather average since rookie year, Justin Fields who also played in Chicago last year and was horrible, another Bears head coach was also blamed for not catering to him to make him better, & yet was NOT all that good in Pittsburgh & was benched for Russel Wilson, Deshaun Watson also started great & now become one of the biggest Busts in NFL history & old Texans coach, Bill O'Brien was also blamed for not making him better, & the list goes on........ I rooted so hard for Doug Williams back in 1987 when he played against the golden boy in John Elway & became the 1st Black QB to win a Super Bowl with Washington, & also rooted for Randal Cunningham when he got his 2nd chance with Minnesota back in 1998 when Randy Moss was a rookie, only to get upset by the Falcons in the playoffs when everyone was picking them to win the Super Bowl that year. This is the NFL folks, & these particular QB's I just mentioned are getting HUGE paychecks to play a game, but they've become so sensitive to the point that NO one can criticize them publicly for fear of repercussions if they do so. Caleb Williams came in extremely over rated & many in Chicago were already ready to crown him MVP & possibly be the savior of this team, but as I already mentioned, many said the same thing about Justin Fields, who also got a coach fired. Earn your pay by playing great on the field if you get a chance to be a starter, but let's stop blaming head coaches when QB'S don't to turn out to be what many were hyping them that they would right out of college. In many cases it's the same individuals on TV who are pumping these QB's like the next Dan Marino or Tom Brady, & then are 1st ones to start blaming their head coaches because now they've looked like total morons to their audience because of their horrible predictions.
CW drove the bus, and the coach filled the tank. I have enjoyed the ride the Lions have provided, but the injuries may have plateaued. I can see both outcomes, but winning is a full-time partner!
Williams was at fault too but he is a ROOKIE and the majority of that falls on the coach. When a rookie QB gets confused out there and doesn't realize the clock is running down it is up to the coach to call that time out
It’s insane how you mess up THAT bad when the whole country is watching! Caleb literally brought us back and gave us a chance to tie or win yet his Coach can’t seem to help him out just a bit. 😭😭
Its partly on Caleb. But when u have a rookie QB, most times he's going to do what the coaches tell him to do, vs a veteran, who'll do what he likes. thats why its up to the coach to manage the situation and correct mistakes. in that game, it was the coach who shouldve realized that his players were ready & called the TO
Caleb’s a rookie. The coach is supposed to make sure Caleb is prepared to handle these situations, so even Caleb’s bad decisions are a reflection of coaching. That’s why he’s gone!
Let me get this straight, Caleb misses a wide open completion from the 25 to DJ on a cross for an easy score, Bears commit penalties to push them back, Caleb and his line take a sack, Caleb doesn’t snap the ball fast enough with 32 seconds on 3rd……….yet it’s the coaches fault and gets fired? Get bent. These damn players are the problem, not the coach. I feel bad for Eberflus

@NFSox exactly..he trying to spike the ball...worry about the next play..you can't expect a rookie to call timeout as well,lol
Caleb threw a 5 yard pass that would’ve won the game 5 yards short of DJ Moore’s feet when he had absolutely zero pressure in his face.
We were flustered because of all the criticism from you scornful ladies throughout these weeks had in the back of his mind that if we don’t get a few extra yards here before calling time out Santos is going to get his field goal blocked again or miss from beyond 50 and I’m going to get the blame so I can’t call a time out right here.
I was a bad decision on his part but it was heavily waited by the vicious criticisms he’s received from you retahd fans over the previous weeks

How the players react on the field shows how they are coached in practice. In the end it always comes down to the coach, and by extension the coaching staff in full!
Exactly what I was thinking
Not all players can be coached equally which is why certain teams don’t sign certain players. The owners general manager and Ryan polls they all hold more blame here then even the head coach.
Unless it's Dallas then it's always Dak fault
The blame goes to Matt Eberflus. Caleb Williams is a rookie QB and while he has no excuses either, Matt Eberflus needs to lead by example and know what is what.
I agree, QB's learn from this .. but if the head coach can't protect the QB from himself in a clock management situation for the game.. why is he a head coach?
@ plus Rookies although they really aren’t rookies when it comes to the fundamentals, shouldn’t be held accountable for mistakes on the field. But Part of the blame goes to Caleb Williams cause he could’ve stepped up and called timeout too
@@koreankid1011hard to call a time out when you’re on the ground after just taking a sack cause your o line doesnt block anyone. Whats the point of having coaches if the QB has to do their job?

Great Analysis Guys, I truly believe if Odunze keeps running, it's a touchdown.
Eberflus is fired, thank God, but this loss was on the team.
Caleb is a rookie! They just lost 4 games right at the end. Eberflus had to call his timeout right there! And this is why Eberflus is gone now!

This is 100% on the Coach! Shady is tripping! 😂
All the examples he's giving is also coaching.
Nah! It's on caleb too!
its crazy how hes really believes what hes saying lmao its all on coaching on what he listed
4 out of the last 6 games the bears lost was on the coach
@hinata365247 Who coaches Caleb? When Eberlus noticed that Caleb wasn't understanding the situation, he should have called timeout.
Caleb said he didn’t get the play till 15 damn seconds , then Matt wanted them to re rack the play which means do the play again and Caleb said they didn’t have enough time to do the play so that’s why he switched . Also Caleb said he didn’t call a timeout because he didn’t have command to call a timeout . The head coach is in charge of time management

*Calm down genius, the sack was not his fault if you watched the play develop, both offensive tackles let their pass rushers in instantly not allowing CW to even do a thing.*
Shady has a point about the players, but he doesn't follow the Bears and can't appreciate the context. Dumb penalties by players are a result of lack of discipline, and instilling discipline is the HEAD COACH'S responsibility. That and other mistakes Eberflus is making with relation to clock management and bad decisions in situational football have been happening since he became the coach, and he's continued to make the SAME mistakes 3 years in. Thankfully he was just fired, so as a Bears fan, I'm relieved that he will no longer be a problem going forward 🙏
Shady doesn’t understand, you’re either coaching or allowing it to happen.
So your parents allowed y'all to make bad decisions? The idiocracy is at an all-time high. Responsibility doesn't mean fault common sense.
@Antitious The point is that bad coaching leads to undisciplined players who make bad decisions. Which leads to losing football. Common sense.
🗣️All facts …. I’m not even a Bears fan and even I’m rejoicing for yall. He had to go
@ansonjackson6254 I see you didn't answer the question bc it would point the bs. Who are the undisciplined players? Do the refs not call iffy bs? Let's be fr players make mistakes doesn't make you undisciplined. The roster still have holes at the lines.
I've been in management for a long time. If your staff is sloppy and undisciplined, it is a direct reflection of the management, in this case, the coach. The players definitely made their share of mistakes and errors, but it they do undisciplined things, which means the coach didn't discipline them and allowed it to happen repeatedly.
This is why I think they should trade all the people that got talent and rebuild with the draft. Toxic leadership just lingers in the building long after you are gone. Everybody here has a hand in this screwup and they need to be out the building along with Caleb. This is not Calebs fault but where we are as a franchise, he needs to be on another team where he can thrive as a player. He is the right guy but at the wrong time and place let him be that right guy at the right time for another Franchise.
*The offense wanted to loose the game was my first impression in that last 32 seconds, nobody seem to be in a hurry to run the next play, I think they wanted to loose on purpose to get raid of Matt Eberflus.*
Does not surprise me at all. That team quit on him after Washington
So Matt Eberflus wanted to be fired...? 😭
Then Eberflus should have called the timeout lol
Bad news Bears of football. This is so embarrassing for the franchise not knowing situational football. Blame goes all around. Caleb for taking his sweet old time to run the clock down before initiating the play and for the coach for not calling a timeout.
Or get a higher d -pick
Yep, Bears shot themselves multiple times in the foot, and you can’t do that against good teams. This team is undisciplined and the worst lapses happen at the most inopportune times. Fair or not, lack of discipline falls on the coach and his assistants, too.

Bears should have 8 wins this season. 8 LEGITIMATE wins.
Williams took 12 seconds to snap the ball and drop back to pass.... ending the game. Even a high school QB would do better. Head Coach is to blame as stated here as well.
They whole scenario literally took damnear half a minute. No urgency what so ever. I needed them to score or get that field goal and go to OT so lions could complete my prizepicks slips lmfao
Several people already posted the reason behind why Caleb did what he did.
@LuisGarcia-wq7ih I haven't seen or heard the reason yet I just know I watched $800 go out the windows in 27 seconds lol
I don't give F what caleb was doing. You're the head coach and should have called a time out. This was 100% on the head coach.
He was very slow and also if you dont only throw for 34 yards in the first half you win that game.
Coaching is an art especially in football.
The Bears 🐻 have the talent/personnel on both sides of the ball to be a real force in the league. Their offseason is very critical because they gotta bring in that guy to put it all together.

Tell me how can a QB call a timeout when hes on the ground after taking a sack because he o line let free rushers at him? You mean to tell me the the head coach who doesnt call any plays for the offense cant look at the field then look at the clock to determine that they need a time out? Whats the point of having coaches then ?
@@kant5696 Coach got Fired he stinks got it. QB has no idea how much time in the game left?
Wait guys!! PUMP the breaks! Caleb Williams was FULLY AWARE that he had a timeout first of all. He addressed this in his post game conference....and what he said was AS A ROOKIE QB HE DOES NOT HAVE THE LIBERTY TO CALL A TIME-OUT in that situation. He said his job was to run the play that the coach called..!! PERIOD. He then went on to say perhaps in his later years (moving forward) that he WOULD take it upon himself to call a time-out in that situation. NOW!!!!! Due to the chaos that developed he looked up and saw he had under 10 seconds left sooooo he came to the conclusion that HE HAD TO GO FOR THE WIN IN THAT SITUATION BECAUSE HE REALIZED THAT WOULD BE THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME!!!!!!!! He had to NOW go Balls to the wall and try to win the game!!!
NONE OF THAT IS ON CALEB!!! He says they don't give him the liberty to take it upon himself to call a time-out and he honored their (the coaches) decision....
And I can respect that Caleb respects that AS A ROOKIE!!
Thank you, someone who actually watched the game and the press conference after. The time out should have occurred after he got sacked. At that point you find a play that gets you at least 7-10 yards closer to make it a kickable FG if you dont go out of bounds. Teams most likely in that scenario are gonna guard the side lines. Should you get the yards and get out of bounds then you got time to get the FG unit on the field. 12 year olds who play madden could have managed this situation better than eberflus
He could have spiked the ball to stop the clock. Hero ball doesn't allow for that. He looks great when d relaxes but when D presses he loses it. He took a stupid hit on his knees . He should have ran out of bounds. Poles should have never put the o lines out there that he has since 2022. Fire Poles now! Glad eberlose I'd gone for he never should have been hired. Harbaugh should have been coach here. This mess will only be cleaned up when Poles is gone and we get a kick rear coach who has no leadership council nonsense and a GM who can draft o linemen and D linemen. The Bears are 2 years ( minimally) away from being a good team. Should have drafted 2 offensive linemen this year in first round. Poles trying to build team from outside in. Never works
Now I'm not taking blame away from Eberlose here as he has to be aware that he is in field goal range and has a timeout left and should call it....But for Caleb to say "I dont have the liberty to call a time out in that situation" as an excuse is kind of laughable....It might be my personality here....but if I realise the coach has made a collosal balls up and is going to cause the time to run out....I'm going to call the time out jog to the sideline and then say "Sorry Coach I know I'm not meant to do this, but we have to kick a field goal to tie for OT. Now lets do that and win this thing" If Caleb does that and the Bears win in OT he is a hero....with what he did he looks like a coach "Yes" man and that is why this is even a conversation.
If coach and player had it clear that coach only calls timeouts etc than Caleb just stuck to that We can argue if he should have overruled his HC in that situation (as a rookie) - we could argue as well about the rest of the team taking too long and then we'd be talking about some veteran players.
Eberflus is gone... the bears are in a new situation now, in a situation they have never been in since I watch them ( 1980). They got a QB who promises to be elite, a talented overall team (just a few players away from completion), have five more games to try out a new HC as interim before off-season and will know by then who they would like as HC long term.
Players will have to show too... (partially they already began doing that since OC change).
Or caleb gets a quick pass the receiver gets down and they call a timeout and kick a field goal
A rookie QB Vs a 3 year HC and it’s Caleb’s fault???????????
34 yards in the 1st half isn't horrible? Wtf are you talking about lol
Eberflus has held this team back since his arrival. He has no idea what he is doing. That said, Caleb is young, but he will learn a lot of this year. LOL. Lastly, this is mostly on Matt because he is the coach and his job is to manage not only the but, but time. This team also seems to have lost it's discipline under Matt. Today, I am thankful! 🙂
Don't kid yourself, the QB has just as much authority to call a timeout as the coach. He is the #1 pick and people want to treat him like a middle schooler. Caleb shares the blame too.

If they get to OT and win the game...no one would be saying that....and if they get to OT majority would be saying "Caleb got us this far with his brain" not hes defiant.
Wha, when is the right football play the "wrong call"?
Keenan Allen was the only person interviewed that seemed like he gave a legit response out of all the players/coaches involved
Yeah i saw that too.
WOW, and we were blaming Justin Fields for all of the problems in Chicago
It's all good Fields ain't with the losing franchise anymore. Way too much disfunction.
justin is bad
Fields is so good they benched him in Pittsburgh after he played the first handful of games. That says a lot of how they feel about him. Fields is so good that only one team in all the many teams who need a QB in the NFL offered a six round pick.
No one was saying all of chicagos issues were JFK. Literally the entire city wanted Eberflus’ head halfway through last year.
no we weren't, but it was obvious that he wasn't that good either..... he was literally losing them games last year, while the Bears defense held it down Fields was literally the worst 4th quarter/crunch time QB in the entire league, he was a complete melt down artist with the most inconsistent mechanics and struggled to make elementary reads
i don't know why people act like 2 things can't be true at once.... the Bears are a mismanaged penny pinching organization, and Justin Fields still isn't the guy
This was good analysis. There were so many things that went wrong. Lots of blame to go around. Bottom line: Eberflus was already on the hot seat and going to get fired sooner or later, so this debacle just expedited the process. As a Lions fan, I'm frustrated the game even got to this point. Lions should have been up by more than 30 by the 4th quarter. Settled for too many FGs, some in the red zone, Gibbs getting stripped on the 5, etc. This game almost had NFC championship vibes in the 2nd half.
It probably should've been 35-0
Eberflus looking CRAZYY
in the light right now 😞…
35 secs is enough time to get a play off to set up a better FG try..but calab getting up sooo slow and being no chalant was the issue
He also audibled out of the play that was called.
Doesn't matter how slow he went. The head coach had a time out and never used it. Eberflus is 100% why they lostm
That's Why the HEAD COACH Should have called a Time Out after the sack. You don't know what condition your Rookie QB is in, after that sack. Is he hurt? Did he get the wind knocked out of him? Call the Damn Time Out, and make sure everyone knows what the situation is a ND what we're doing.
@dreate780 Caleb during that drive literally had to take a knee from being hit after a pass. Eberflus should have took the TO after that sack
@jlmurph2 every time calab got hit he was getting off the ground slow the whole night..not just on that play
Dak Eberflus*
Bro his first name is Matt, not Dak lmao
@rafaelisslaam1894 he coached just like Dak has played, though!!
Yeah it’s definitely on the players too. They didn’t mention that two receivers up top were confused on which of them were supposed to be on the line as well. So they would’ve called illegal motion if it was snapped at 14 seconds. You just can’t take a sack in that position. Caleb took one of the worst sacks I’ve seen last week in overtime too. He’ll learn but I’m surprised by his lack of awareness in that type of situation. He faced plenty of those scenarios at usc. It’s too bad cuz he played so well in the second half.
Acho being way over emotional. There are a lot of QBs/coaches that wouldn't have taken a timeout. If they rush to the line and get a play off with 20 seconds left, the decision doesn't look stupid. Caleb should not have changed the play. That ball should have been snapped with 15 seconds left and been a short pass for 8-10 yards and then call timeout.
Well he’s just using stats, so kinda the opposite of emotion. And idk what level of ball you played, but what you just described as the plan is also bad enough to be fired for. If you take a sack with 36 on the clock, you immediately call time out and then you get multiple plays instead of one short pass. Idk what you’re talking about but stop spreading your stupidity.
Exactly they only needed 5 yards to get in FG range 8-10 for breathing room. holding that TO was smart, now your FG team doesn't have to rush out and at the very worst their was more than enough time to get two plays off. Call a TO if the first doesn't get you enough yards
@@jamesforeman8028Ideally head coach calls timeout immediately. Once he saw it’s taking too long to get lined up you for sure take the timeout at that point. You don’t let the time run out and force the situation to be a Hail Mary.
@jamesforeman8028 Acho made that stat up because the Bears actually did use a time out and I can think of several situations where that didn't happen, most notably when Russell Wilson threw an int to Patriots in Superbowl.
I don't know what world you think that they'd have multiple plays after the timeout when it was 3rd and very long. They likely weren't getting first down. They had one play to get in FG range. Rather than rushing the FG team on the field, which makes a long FG much more difficult. Just throw a quick short pass, get in FG range call timeout for a good FG attempt.
If he runs a play quick, it doesn't go against Achos made up stat anyway
He absolutely could not have snapped the ball at 15 seconds because the receivers were moving. It would have been a penalty and a time run off or timeout anyway
He shouldnt have to be worrying about all that where is his help wtf how is it's Caleb fault
People use the word rookie as an excuse way too much. Caleb had years of experience running 2 minute drills in high level college football also. This isn't new for him. He should know the number of timeouts remaining, how much time is on the clock, and what can be done in that time. The NFL only changes the level of players. It doesn't change what to do in the last 2 minutes. The only change is in college the clock stops after a first down which was part of the scenario here.
It's not...we all know clock mgmt..is ON THE COACH...the rookie QB should only be worrying about the NEXT PLAY..PERIOD

More at fault is Eberflus. Caleb Williams is a rookie QB. For all intents and purposes, he's still a kid. He doesn't know what he doesn't know yet. I'll always give rookies a pass because they're rookies. It's up to Eberflus to coach/teach the young kid on situational football and all the other particulars. He didn't do that and hasn't been doing that. It's on Matt
It was on both Osama Bin Flus and Caleb. More so on the coach for not calling a timeout, but also on Caleb for lacking awareness and taking bad sacks.
watch the sack he took. Caleb had NO chance. the right tackle let the Edge rusher go untouched
@ I said sacks, not just 1 sack. The line has been abysmal, but there has been a few times that they’ve help up and Caleb just holds onto the ball too long.
34 yards in the first half is inexcusable with this roster
@@GodLikeMikeLivegood god every qb holds the ball long. You people always say this. If you throw the ball in 1.5 seconds all you’re gonna get is 3 yards hitch routes. You got to let receivers get into their routes and get open. You cant just throw the damn ball and the reciever isnt even looking or the db is drapped all over them. Also, caleb has been getting the ball out in 2.5 seconds and has been good vs the blitz. Its just everyone keeps running to the same narrative when they dont even watch bears games
@ QBs normally aren’t supposed to hold the ball longer than 3 seconds anyways (especially when the O-line is this bad). I’m talking about when nothing is there and instead of throwing it away, he tries to buy time in the pocket and takes a sack. He gets to go thru 1 or 2 looks and if it’s not open, then he’s supposed to check down, run or throw it away. I’m not saying he needs to force the ball to covered receivers. Throw it away, check down or run, it’s that simple. You cannot make the big play every time. I’ve seen him dance around in the pocket trying to buy time way too many times. If you actually watch the games, then you’ve seen it too. The hero ball that he was doing in college has to stop. It does not work in the NFL.
Thank uuuuu bring back lovie Smith
Its the coaching shouldve seen the dysfunction and called a timeout.
Eberflus was the blame for the timeout... Neither Caleb nor any other offensive player is allowed to call timeouts for the Bears.
Only qb and head coach can call timeouts
Yes they are lmao if a player calls a timeout to the ref they will honor it
@@PzShockzthat’s not true lol
QBs can call timeouts
@@VvVT734 a simple Google search would show that im right. If you don't know football please don't speak on it
0:33 its so crazy...they went into a hurry up, but then like had a huddle and then like just evaporated the rest of the game away. Meanwhile GB had 22 seconds before halftime and drove down field and scored on a FG
From what I saw, moore and kmet didn't know what to do, literally right in front of Flus. Det also changed their def look, so caleb had to.process.. a timeout was made for that exact scenerio
Shady putting more blame on the players than coach is CRAZY!
I like shady but come on now
It's really on both. Shady has a point wit this one
Crazy work!! But they should have hustled back to the LOS
Shady does have a point. it does make sense to not call a TO. if you call a To there you have no timeouts left, 3rd and 26 at the 41 yard line. you still want to be able to utilize the middle of the field if possible. you cant spike it as then its 4th down. Caleb as an NFL qb has to know the time and react accordingly. you even see the O-line trying to rush it and caleb is taking his time. im not giving him a pass as a rookie as this is something that a HS player should know. you have to know your situation in that scenario and know youre up against the clock. Matt needed to go but im not gonna act like Caleb isnt at fault at all.
Did yall see the game lol.. shady is completely right it’s on both the players and coach. But you can’t blame only the coach when the players take that long to get a play off and Your QB is changing the players take. They wasted over 20 seconds doing that
all the stuff shady was listing drum roll please falls on the coach in all those aspects
Watching that play Caleb had NO URGENCY THEN STARTS CHANGING THE PLAY?!?!
honestly, the biggest thing is that last TO was never used. If your plan was to run one out route, or something quick up the middle and then use the TO, i understand, but when your team aint lined up and on the same page at 10-15 secs left.. use the TO, and get everyone on the same page. Personally, I don't think Caleb is "the next one" as people proclaimed him to be, but he held the ball way too long, too many times instead of throwing it out of bounds...but as a HC you need to understand that. Dont let him change the play, call the TO.
Daniel, the former QB, was the only one who came close to getting this right. No, Eberflus should not have called a timeout there, and yes, Caleb is to blame. If Eberflus calls a timeout there then Detroit gets to set their defense, and they'll probably do the rush 1 thing like they did earlier in the game and take away the sideline routes. And if you complete the next pass inbounds you can't spike the ball there even if you have time because it will be 4th down. Maybe you'll have time to run the FG unit on, but maybe you won't, that is if you can even get into FG range, which is now going to be more difficult since you've allowed the Lions to reset their defense. So why waste the timeout there when it will only help the other team?
The right thing to do there was for Caleb to get everyone to the line, snap the ball quickly, take the easy 5 yard pass to Swift or Kmet, call timeout if they can't get out of bounds, and kick the FG to tie the game. I feel confident that 95% of QBs would have done exactly that, because it's the obvious thing to do. The guy covering Swift was literally giving him a 9 yard cushion. But Caleb let the clock tick down for a good 5 or 6 seconds after his team was lined up and then behaved as if he had to pick up the 26 yard first down lol. It was as if he forgot not only the score but the down as well, in addition to the fact that they had a timeout, as Daniel suggested. Why would you not make sure that you have time to run two plays there unless you somehow thought it was 4th down? It doesn't makes any sense. That was just embarrassingly awful situational awareness by Caleb. If you're still putting all the blame for that one on Eberflus, you're basically saying he should have known that his quarterback was an idiot lol.
Honestly I can't believe Acho thinks the smart thing to do there was to call the timeout, and he feels so strongly about it that he thinks Caleb must have thought "well my coach has to be an idiot not to call the timeout" lol. Once again, there was no need to call a timeout there, and doing so would only have helped the Lions defense. It's not the coach's fault that the QB is too stupid to realize that he doesn't have to time to stand at the line of scrimmage for several seconds before snapping the ball lol. It's unbelievable to me how dumb people are being about this.
There's also a reason the man got fired. He's a horrible coach. He has set his team up for failure from the beginning, along with Poles for NOT beefing up their O Line to protect your franchise QB, I know a lot of you football "fans" LOVE to place the blame solely on the players, but you have to use your brain with this one. It was very clearly a coaching issue, given the play wasn't even told to Caleb until 15 seconds had run down.
@@ItrolltRumpers Lol so now it's the GMs fault? Lol quit stanning for Caleb, the only one to blame for him not getting that play off several seconds earlier and throwing for the easy short completion instead of trying to get a first down that he didn't need is him.
Eberflus didn't want a pass. He wanted ANOTHER QB DRAW!
I thouight the interview of Caleb was revealing
He said he "checked out" of the play that was called for him to be able to get the quick yards needed for thre field goal
THAT was the reason they spent so much waisted time at the line of scrimage
The coach DIDN"T throw the QB under the bus for this blunder
Why didn’t Caleb call a timeout? Buddy trash 🗑️
Because he didn't know he had one
Nah he literally said he doesn’t have the liberty to make that call as a rookie, regardless if Caleb had been able to call timeouts all season (which he hasn’t) as the HEAD COACH you have to step in and save your team, to leave that game with a timeout in your pocket as a head coach is inexcusable
Ocho is smart but says anything at times . There were millions of Americans working on thanksgiving , so what if they had to play on thanksgiving. Everyone wasn’t at home eating with the family .
I actually agree with Shady
I'm calling the timeout after i just got sacked/watched my qb get sacked.
Man I wish Brady was calling this game, because there is no qb better than him in these situations.
1:06 Acho pls stop pointing at your big head, it's distracting. ION, Flus just got fired...
Matt wasn't using his HEEAAADDDDD, though!!
You only half listened to that press conference Chase. He changed the play because what was called was a short in route, and Caleb saw that there was not enough time to run the play and take a timeout. So he called a play that had a chance to score.
Shady literally had the best take of all these shows on this topic everybody just wanna blame the coach it’s on the QB an his vets offensive players easy to blame the coach when you 4 an whatever they are smh
When a team is as undisciplined and clueless as the Bears this year, it falls on coaching and culture. The players are the symptoms of a bigger issue if that makes sense
Nopebthe coach had the time out and could have used it at any time and didn't. This is 100% on the head coach.
Shady we’re talking about it the last play here not the whole game
Second week in a row where Caleb is not aware of time and he did it earlier in this game
He helped his coach out the door. I'm not shocked to hear he did the same thing more than once - and I only saw this time and his post game press conference.
@@number3stunner118good! Thank you Caleb!
The Rookie who balled out in the 2nd half with 3 TDs against a defense that hadn’t allowed a 2nd half TD in 3 straight games….if anyone blames him for the loss, ignore any football opinions from that person for infinity!
No, 34 yards in the 1st half is horrific. You score one time in the 1st half you win the game. The game isn't ayed in 1 half dude
@ if think you watch Fast and Furious so much it’s rotted your brain
Shady should’ve kept it about just that moment. There’s always a bunch of plays every game that can be broken down. We are talking about the clock management that last 35 seconds. It was 100% on the coach.
Great show guys. Love the re-enactment and the different player's perspectives. FOX got a hit show on their hand.
Eberflus was talking to himself darn I just lost my job 😂😂😂🤣😳
I personally feel in my unbiased opinion that if you take the whole game into account I think the biggest factor in the Bears losing this game is the fact that fEminem the ssewejewess |=/-\|
How about that uncalled pass interference where the defender literally ran our guy over without turning around while the ball was about to fall in his lap the defender had no idea where the ball was he just ran our guy over which caused him to not be able to catch the ball but somehow that’s not pass interference? When it’s right in front of the referee 2 feet away
Even the announcers must’ve got some Rap cap action from the fEMINEM trim lady Because they didn’t even want to admit that that was blatant pass interference but when they kept showing the replay they begrudgingly and reluctantly admitted that it was clearly pass interference without making a big deal about it on air
It is 100% Caleb's fault. Eberflus thought there was enough time for a crossing route, TO, and FG. This is the right way to manage the game. But Caleb wasted time by changing the play to a hail mary because he thought there were no timeouts and the crossing route would end the game. But Ebeflus should recognize that Caleb was sacked and a little disoriented.
At least 2 losses are directly on the Bears HC - see ya
Crazy thing is I remember hearing Caleb say in a post game interview after one of these losses that he "wasn't authorized to use a timeout". 🙃🤯
This is actually a great breakdown boys.
LeSean McCoy has more energy than all current Head coaches combined.
Everything Shady said was true. The players made committed all those errors, not the coach. BUT, even with all that they still had a chance to at least go to OT. The one error that took away that chance was the head coach a) not calling a timeout with 30 seconds left or b) not calling a timeout when he realized there wasn't going to be enough time for a play timeout, and FG try.
Vikings fan here but I do believe Caleb is the truth. He has a magician ability about him that only lamar, mahomes and maybe Allen have.
Caleb Williams deserves a lot of blame too. He didn’t do what the HC and team told him to do.
I think this all started with the final defensive play calling against Washington. Allowing a 15 yard reception that allows the receiver to get out of bounds, then only bringing 3 down linemen with an unnecessary spy, as well as not noticing your one member of the secondary.
Then you play close against Green Bay, only to allow pressure up the middle (a no-no on special teams) to block the end of game field goal. You allow something similar against the Vikings and have to have another furious comeback just to get it to overtime, and allow the Vikings to pick you apart for the game winner.
Eberflus in 1-score games being the worst in the NFL hurts. Is it a talented team? Mostly (that offensive line needs major additions in free agency and the draft). Is part of the issue a rookie Quarterback? Yes. He’s more trying to get big plays than taking the short stuff to methodically drive down the field. He also needs some work on his internal play clock. 5 seconds is an eternity for most plays to develop, so between 2 and 3 seconds the ball needs to either be brought down to run, get out of the pocket to find out if a receiver has broken off his route to admin with the quarterback, or at the very least throw the ball out of bounds past the line of scrimmage to get to the next down.
What also hasn’t helped are the offensive coordinators. For the last few years, it was Luke Getsy, who even the Raiders have recently let go, and then you chose Shane Waldron over other options when the scuttlebut was he was mediocre, and even plays that should’ve been installed as early as knowing Caleb Williams was going to be the starting quarterback out of the draft weren’t done.
This is why you can’t fully trust a rookie quarterback: they can have a good drive, quarter, half, game, but until it’s consistently shown, you can’t say they’ll be at a level equivalent to a Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and especially not Mahomes.
Eberflus has a lot to be blamed for a lot of this dysfunction. The GM for not trying to fix the O-line from last season, but this game is all on Eberflus.
James always breaking things down from a practical standpoint!
Yes, that was all on Caleb Williams period!
Was it the Eberflus fault that a dumb player was taunting fans in Washington when Commanders completed that fluke Hail Mary a few weeks ago that started their slide, & was it his fault that Williams literally threw a pass on the ground to an wide open receiver on 1st & down that most likely goes for a TD & possible win, which really no one is talking about, & was his fault that Caleb was dumb enough to take another sack on that same drive as he did last week against the Vikings in OT to lose the game?
It's sad that Eberflus has to take the hit, but that's it goes when you have dumb players who come super over rated into the NFL & then shrink when they start playing the Big Boys in the pros.
I'm a very brown minority, but I've been watching this great for almost 50 years, so I'm going to say what many aren't for fear of getting that a so called "racist" on all sorts of social media networks now.
Why is it when now when young Black QB's come into the league with so much expectations in the NFL & then lay an egg many so-called Black NFL analysts are so biased to quickly state that QB is not getting the proper upbringing like some child to make him better, but if it's a White rookie QB & lays an egg, they say he's just a bad QB a la Sam Darnold & Zach Wilson with the Jets?
Isn't that what playing in college is for to help these young QB's to understand the game better, but many don't take time to study & even learn how to read zone coverage because they want to rely on their great running ability in many cases.
That works great in college, but when you're asked to become also a pocket QB, you stink up the place & then you turn around & blame the coach.
Brice Young is a Bust in the NFL & yet many of these clowns on these popular sports talk shows are now saying that he wasn't ready to start in the NFL. CJ Stroud was supposedly the best since Joe Montana as many were raving about, but has also come back to earth some & has become rather average since rookie year, Justin Fields who also played in Chicago last year and was horrible, another Bears head coach was also blamed for not catering to him to make him better, & yet was NOT all that good in Pittsburgh & was benched for Russel Wilson, Deshaun Watson also started great & now become one of the biggest Busts in NFL history & old Texans coach, Bill O'Brien was also blamed for not making him better, & the list goes on........
I rooted so hard for Doug Williams back in 1987 when he played against the golden boy in John Elway & became the 1st Black QB to win a Super Bowl with Washington, & also rooted for Randal Cunningham when he got his 2nd chance with Minnesota back in 1998 when Randy Moss was a rookie, only to get upset by the Falcons in the playoffs when everyone was picking them to win the Super Bowl that year.
This is the NFL folks, & these particular QB's I just mentioned are getting HUGE paychecks to play a game, but they've become so sensitive to the point that NO one can criticize them publicly for fear of repercussions if they do so.
Caleb Williams came in extremely over rated & many in Chicago were already ready to crown him MVP & possibly be the savior of this team, but as I already mentioned, many said the same thing about Justin Fields, who also got a coach fired.
Earn your pay by playing great on the field if you get a chance to be a starter, but let's stop blaming head coaches when QB'S don't to turn out to be what many were hyping them that they would right out of college.
In many cases it's the same individuals on TV who are pumping these QB's like the next Dan Marino or Tom Brady, & then are 1st ones to start blaming their head coaches because now they've looked like total morons to their audience because of their horrible predictions.
The players were on the sideline literally yelling to Caleb & the coach just STANDING there. 😂 it looked sooooooo dysfunctional.
As a football fan this was an awesome segment. Definitley want to watch this show more
Yeah the 1500 times stat was an elite media move. Prove your argument. This is fire
Dude finally the media gives a stat like 1500 times it’s never been a collapse like that. This analyst/former player should get into coaching
He didn't want to be called a racist for calling time out against a quarter back with zero situational awareness.
CW drove the bus, and the coach filled the tank. I have enjoyed the ride the Lions have provided, but the injuries may have plateaued. I can see both outcomes, but winning is a full-time partner!
Williams was at fault too but he is a ROOKIE and the majority of that falls on the coach. When a rookie QB gets confused out there and doesn't realize the clock is running down it is up to the coach to call that time out
It’s insane how you mess up THAT bad when the whole country is watching! Caleb literally brought us back and gave us a chance to tie or win yet his Coach can’t seem to help him out just a bit. 😭😭
Its partly on Caleb. But when u have a rookie QB, most times he's going to do what the coaches tell him to do, vs a veteran, who'll do what he likes. thats why its up to the coach to manage the situation and correct mistakes. in that game, it was the coach who shouldve realized that his players were ready & called the TO
Caleb’s a rookie. The coach is supposed to make sure Caleb is prepared to handle these situations, so even Caleb’s bad decisions are a reflection of coaching. That’s why he’s gone!
Let me get this straight, Caleb misses a wide open completion from the 25 to DJ on a cross for an easy score, Bears commit penalties to push them back, Caleb and his line take a sack, Caleb doesn’t snap the ball fast enough with 32 seconds on 3rd……….yet it’s the coaches fault and gets fired? Get bent. These damn players are the problem, not the coach. I feel bad for Eberflus
THE RIGHT TACKLE ON THE 2ND DOWN AND 20 play PURPOSELY DIDNT BLOCK THE END
