[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1045971, member: 18006"] I won't rub it in when you're down, but I will point out that that's one of the things I've been saying all year. One of the things that saved Eberflus' *** last year was that he was so popular with his players; they all loved playing for him. That's not necessarily always a good trait in a coach - it's the coaches that players [I]fear [/I]who win clutch games And that goes to another point I've made a number of times, and other posters here - the guy is slow-witted. If the Bears defend that previous sideline play, there is no Hail Mary. It simply never happens. The clock runs out while Washington throws a 20-yard pass to midfield. Or if they just let the Washingtons set up for the hail mary and then call an immediate time out when you see their set - go over it with your team, calm them down, get them focused, make whatever personnel adjustments you need to make in order to match up their package... make sure everyone knows their assignment and their responsibilities, which I'm thinking probably would not have included standing at the sideline trashtalking drunken fans while the play was underway. Eberflus had 3 timeouts in his pocket, when did he think he was going to use them? Was he hoping to turn them in for a deposit after the game? I can hardly count the number of utterly foolish decisions he and his staff made yesterday; it was like he just had no awareness of what was happening in the game and what he needed to do about it. He just was totally absent. This article does a much better job of explaining it than I can; it's a great article. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bleachernation.com/bears/2024/10/28/bears-coach-miscues/[/URL] A couple more games like that, and he may not last through December. Ryan Poles' staff probably had their boss on suicide watch all day Monday - Poles has gambled everything on Eberflus; the Bears have the hardest schedule in the NFL over the next 10 games, and they may not even break .500. If they collapse (after all the Caleb Williams hype, and 3 years of questionable trades, free agents, and draft choices), he probably can't survive. That game Sunday is one of the worst-coached NFL games I've ever seen, and keep in mind I watched every game coached by Phil Bengtson, Dan Devine, Lindy Infante, Forrest Gregg, Bart Starr (god bless him), Mike Sherman, and Ray Rhodes. Not to mention about 20 years of terrible Vikings coaches when I lived in the Twin Cities. Eberflus is a disgrace to your organization; as much as I dislike the Bears, I'm the first to say y'all deserve better than this. I agree, and that's a shame. Because I'm really getting to like Williams, fingernail polish and all. And I did not expect to ever say that. I think he has the potential to be a very good quarterback; he still has a lot of rough spots, but I admire the hell out of him for his toughness.
