Eberflus gone!

23. Yes and I agree with

blame to the coaching staff but as many have pointed out the players have all been in that short time situation in games many times and it is practiced constantly. So when the confusion was happening they should have used the timeout. Caleb could call it himself along with many others. As was pointed out when they lined up with 14 seconds left you had time to have a receiver take a quick 5 yards and kneel down to end the play and then immediately signal for time out. There would have been still about 4 seconds left and now you can take a bit to calm down and get the field goal unit out there. It seemed the line and the receivers weren't even sure of the play and maybe some went with one thing and some with another.

Realistically Eberflus could also be criticized for not using that last time out when he had 30+ seconds left to try and calm down a team that had just made some plays but also some bad mistakes. Calm them down, lay it out what the next plays need to be, go over the time situation and remind everybody there are now no timeouts. That is standard good coaching practice whether it's football or basketball.

I feel Caleb Williams will be a very good quarterback if the Bears organization doesn't screw it up like they did with Justin Fields. I always thought Fields was a good guy in a tough situation and maybe he wasn't going to be Patrick Mahomes but the Bears coaching etc. was bad for this guy and his development. It was good to see him able to get to a coach like Mike Tomlin who could get things back on track for Fields. He played well and depending on what the Steelers do with Russell Wilson they can keep Fields and be OK or Fields can now go to another team and be a solid starter. If he had stayed in Chicago it may have ruined him. They kept changing what they were telling the guy he should be for them. For awhile it was pass and be a running quarterback. Then it was stay back and be a passer even though they didn't have a line to protect him. Mike Tomlin gave Fields an offensive system to work within rather than just lining the guy up on a "make it up as we go" fashion.

Even though I live in Wisconsin and I'm less of a Packer fan than in days of old I don't "hate" the Bears and maybe that comes from me being from long ago. I grew up watching 2 of the greatest franchises in sports history play each other hard every game and give it all they had. It was great football and no matter who won it was great to watch two of the best ever do their best against each other. That's why it is sad to me to see how the Bears have struggled for so long with all of these bad management/coaching decisions. I know some Packer fans are happy to beat the Bears by big scores. I'm not one of them because I don't find that to be exciting football. I also don't like people gloating and ridiculing them like Aaron Rodgers did. I was never a fan of Aaron Rodgers during his entire time in Green Bay.

Best of luck to Chicago and I'm hoping you get a great tough coach and he gets great coordinators etc. so we can have some more of these great hard fought games that don't turn on bloopers and mistakes or don't become blowouts. I want to see your receivers line up and try to beat my defenders and your running backs trying to break tackles and ours to do the same and when it's all over no matter who wins we can say we watched 2 teams in the toughest division in the NFL play a great game.
