**Bears at Lions** Thanksgiving 12:30 (-9.5, 47.5) (3 Viewers)

[Judge Smails]

Should be fired and not allowed to fly home with the team. My son in law “there are better clock managers playing Madden”

Eberflus' controller got disconnected.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Leon Lett thinks Eberflus might not be able to live that one down.

 

[Max Power]

Amazing to listen to the entire country talk about what an idiot and how horrible Eberflus is, and I'm sitting here thinking this ending might not even be in his top 5 **** ups.

 

[GreenNGold]

Should be fired and not allowed to fly home with the team. My son in law “there are better clock managers playing Madden”

I think anyone who has played a few games of madden is more qualified than the bears current HC

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Might be the most inept ending to a game I have ever witnessed

Did you ever see Leon Lett?

I remember that, the snowstorm game

[Capella]

There must be consequences after this.

Zero chance he’s back next year after that. He’ll never be a head coach again

 

[Runkle]

They should consider kicking the FG before 4th or even 3rd down to reduce the chances of penalties backing them up even further

Would have been smarter than what they did

He at least has to call the timeout at 5 seconds and change the play at that point.

 

[Harry Frogfish]

It really is beyond my belief how a Head Coach in the NFL cannot know better. There were multiple mistakes with the game on the line. It baffles me how he got to that level without being exposed prior. I find it hard to believe in college. But the NFL??? And with the amount of money they make and all that's on the line? It is crazy that it still happens. But it does.

I hear this, but the players have to have some accountability as well. Caleb missed a wide open DJ Moore on 1st down that may very well have been a TD. That is followed up by a hands to the face penalty and a sack.

That is a part of the game. And I'd argue a reflection of being poorly coached (the hands to the face...even taking a sack -- they should know better by now). I mean, this isn't spring training.

And to further the point. A Head Coach's Job is to have the ability to adapt to the above and overcome it. He clearly could not. Thus the fail "on multiple levels".

 

[-OZ-]

The Bears have a QB. So there is hope.

That coaching staff however is an embarassment.

Caleb needs his Reid.

What if Belichek comes to Chicago next year?

 

[InDitkaWeTrust]

I'm out. The Bears have officially out Lioned the Lions.

[Encyclopedia Brown]

What if Belichek comes to Chicago next year?

Mike Ditka has been gone for more than thirty years and yet his ghost still haunts the McCaskey family. They will never concede the kind of power that Belichick would almost certainly demand.

From Dave Wannstedt to Eberflus, every coach they have hired since has been the "good soldier" type who won't rock the family boat.

 

[Max Power]

. Flus might be the worst situational coach the NFL has seen in the last decade.

Under Matt Eberflus the Bears are: 5-18 in 1-score games, 3-18 on the road, 2-12 in the NFC North.

Dude has to go. I don’t like him, seems like the kind of douche who blames everyone else when things go sideways. He’ll throw anyone under the bus before admitting he’s the problem (IMO.)

Bad coach who doesn’t pay attention to details or understand accountability. No idea how he has kept the job as long as he has.

He's horrible at challenges and timeouts as well.

Its almost like I've seen this one before...

 

[Mister CIA]

Tolbert looking like a player who will get a nice 2nd contract.

 

[jon_mx]

Every Bears fan.

 

[Max Power]

Flus gonna say they did everything right.

[Stoneworker]

Everyone piling on Eberflus but this seems mostly on the QB. He chose to audible instead of running what was called, getting a TO and kicking the FG.

In fact, from his comment it appears he didn't even realize they had a timeout

"I ended up changing the play," Williams explained, "because with the play we had, 13 seconds -- any play you have with 13 seconds with no time... Well, we had a timeout, but with that situation, 13 seconds, make a call and try and get it snapped and take a shot."

The coach could have also called the timeout and it's inexcusable that he didn't.

Exactly when did you want Eberflus to call timeout?

He probably should have called it right away (with somewhere around 30 seconds left they would have had time to run a play downfield and spike it if needed), but he watched about 25-30 seconds tick by where he could have called it too. I'd argue he should have called it as soon as it was obvious they were having trouble getting set for another play (his QB just got sacked and they were having trouble regaining their composure), but he absolutely should have been calling it by the 15 second mark when it became clear they weren't going to get multiple plays off otherwise.

He probably should have called it right away, but he watched about 20 seconds tick by where he could have called it too. He certainly should have been calling it by the 10-15 second mark.

No need to call TO right away. The play was sent in with plenty of time to get it run, call a TO and kick a FG. The audible to the home run ball at 13 seconds was completely unnecessary.

Clearly, there was a need to call it somewhere between the sack and when his QB started audibling. His QB just got hit and everyone was having trouble getting reset, the coach was calmly watching from the sideline thinking "this is fine"

Go watch the replay. Nobody was having trouble getting reset. Everyone was lined up and ready to go at the 15 second mark. Then Williams inexplicably took almost 10 seconds to snap the ball

221 coaches have had 20+ career games decided by 7 points or fewer.

Matt Eberflus' .227 win percentage in those games (5-17) ranks 221st.

Lions are the stone cold, lead pipe lock of the year. No chance they lose this game

Get this reverse-jinx bs out of here.

It is probably true but at the same time I wouldn't mind seeing the list of other coaches in the pool. For example, I wonder where someone like Andy Reid is on this list. He had a bad reputation for bad clock management in Philly.

And no I not going to sign up for a free trial of anything.

Just like the Washington game. Call the TO and settle your team down.

Hutch has zero chance of coming back to play in the SB. Cmon Romo.

Let me know when he walks *on* water and I’ll believe he’s coming back this year.
