"I like what we did there" he said after letting the clock run out with a timeout left in field goal range.

To be fair, they weren’t in range yet after the sack.

marzalveins.bsky.social•205 days ago

It would have been a 58 yard field goal. I'd wager they'd have risked it vs letting the clock run to zero.

Also weather wasn't a factor as well

mystakak.bsky.social•205 days ago

That’s true but you cannot take a sack in that situation. Poor preparation

It was a matter of thyme…. See what I did there??

Stop hiring Defensive Coordinators as head coaches and expecting them to know how to manage the game!

martyottoneu.bsky.social•205 days ago

You needed to after that timeout blunder.

jgura.bsky.social•205 days ago

I am surprised they waited that long.

onezo.bsky.social•205 days ago

What about Steve Kerr?

deceptio.bsky.social•205 days ago

And like that! He gone!

Good! The Bears need a hard-nosed head coach, like a Tom Coughlin or Bill Cowher type. Chicago has shown potential. Caleb Williams can play.

mystakak.bsky.social•205 days ago

That style doesn’t work anymore. They just need a decent coach

henrybm.bsky.social•205 days ago

Could you say Eberflus has a Black Friday?

dschnoeb.bsky.social•205 days ago

@hellocullen.bsky.social happy for you

On Thanksgiving, the Bears felt the sting,
As late-game blunders took wing.
Coach Eberflus gone,
With hopes now withdrawn,
Chicago seeks change for the spring!
