Chicago Bears vs Washington Commanders Game Thread

You clowns.

 

Hahaha! This team.

 

The idiot coaches thought they were bailed out. Now Eberflus has to explain himself.

 

That was predictable I guess

 

Clear illegal blindside block on Dexter in there.

Stevenson with the game killer.

 

I was actually not shocked. Its taken the better part of 40years, but this team has finally made me unshockable.

 

Super blatant blindside block too

of course

 

Ah what are you gonna do. Bears battled back. Doesn’t change the fact that this coaching staff puts us at a disadvantage. But sometimes prayers are answered.

 

I don't have the words, other than the Commanders coaches suck, but ours are so much worse. Caleb showed some ice water in his veins there, which was a definite positive sign.

I am shocked, even though I knew full well it could happen. Time to go back and read the game thread from you guys.

 

Bad coaching equals bad football

yes the players have to execute but there is a laundry list of things you can point to from this game that are directly on the coaches

 

I was about to say, it's not about how you start but how you finish said no Bears fan in the last 40 years, so cheers to the next 40 of what looks like the same old shit.

 

Caleb didn’t play a great game but got the team down the field not once but twice in position to take the lead

I will allow that to be my biggest takeaway in this game

The kid has it

 

Presnap penalties, trying the fucking handoff to the backup lineman playing FB, TWO designed runs to Caleb in a row. Came out flat and lifeless after a bye. Oh and the stupid penalties after the play too. Make these fucking guys run laps like it's high school this week.

WA bailed out the Bears repeatedly with stupid penalties, we really had no business winning it, and then Caleb shows the fuck up and we STILL find a way to lose.

 

At least my son's hockey team whooped ass yesterday. Might be the only sport I'll watch this winter with a team that's a top dog.

 

I'm glad I left the house at halftime. We can cry that the Skins got lucky but we were equally lucky to be leading at that point. A win would have been nice but would have masked the putrid coaching, OL play, and Caleb's struggles. Flus has a lot to account for and so does Poles.

As for Caleb, Tuna may not want to hear it, but at this time he's not better than Jayden. Jayden playing injured outplayed Caleb by a wide margin and has done so all season long, including getting a big road win at Cincy. That doesn't mean we made a mistake picking Caleb or that Caleb will be worse in the long run, I don't believe either. But the fact is Caleb has yet to play even average on the road for a full game.

 

I've said it before - this is not a serious football team. From the ownership to the front office, coaches, and players, this team is not serious about football. About marketing, building a new stadium, and press conferences? Sure. But not about football.

The entire game was littered with bad coaching, from front to back. And Caleb is just making horrendous throws all over the place because he can't reliably set his feet and make a throw. On the quick ones, it's because he's not being coached right - there needs to be a well defined process there, and there clearly isn't, because he fucks those up as much as he hits them - and on the ones where he's missing downfield, how can he know he's actually going to be able to hit the top of his drop and not immediately need to bail? It's all so fucked up. Caleb needs to do better, but he needs a better OL in front of him, and both the OL and Caleb are very clearly being let down by coaching.

The play where DJ made the huge catch and got hurt, I want to point something out: Teven Jenkins had just come back in the game for his first snap after leaving with injury. My first thought was, "They're going to come right at him", and they did. Waited for him to commit to helping the C, and then the LB ran right at the gap. I think the LB expected Teven to come back to him, because he pulled up for just a second. But Teven never did. It is incredible the way the OL plays without a single fucking brain cell on almost every play. And why is that? I mean, Teven has been much better than this, in previous years. I don't know what the fuck they're coaching them to do, but it's not good and it's not right.

That whole fucking building is inept and unserious. Until that changes, Caleb will be trying to carry the team and play hero ball week after week, and Chicago will be one of those franchises that wastes massive potential because they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Sorry, y'all. That game had bad coaching finger prints all the fuck over it. I had to tell my son constantly, "What they're doing is wrong", and I shouldn't have to do that. Fuck's sake.

 

I didn't even see the game after the Roschon TD. I had to give my little one a bath. I just hear my older son shout "Are you kidding me???" from downstairs, and figured the Bears found a way to lose it. They shouldn't have - it shouldn't have been possible - but it's the Bears, so it was.

 

The only thing I will argue blang is by leaving at halftime you missed Caleb having two big drives with some pretty good play when it mattered most. Yes Jayden has played better out of the gate, but I'm still optimistic for Caleb overall. I'd much rather have a QB be clutch when it matters and fix the rest of the game, than the other way around like our previous QBs.

And that Hail Mary is not on Jayden at all, any QB in the league throws that ball.

 

100%. Ev is worried Flus will ruin Caleb. He and Waldron are definitely trying their hardest.

 

Reports are saying that Tyrique Stevenson was taunting fans in the crowd and has his back to the play when the ball was snapped on the Hail Mary.
