The Bears played like a team that deserved to lose 10 games in a row.

But the worst part is that Caleb Williams continued to look overwhelmed in the game’s most important moments.

Many said the same thing about these QBs…

Love
Darold
Murray
Young

The offensive line and the coaching are a serious concern. Here’s hoping the new coach is a smart choice

No argument against this statement. We’re in Sports Purgatory here🤮

He needs to read a defense quicker and get rid of it. Processing too slow causing a lot more sacks than just a bad oline.

thepigeon.bsky.social•67 days ago

Don't put this on the QB where even an OK O-line will give this guy the time to shine. He's playing his ass off in the worst of conditions, just like every Bears QB since Grossman.

garrettatwork.bsky.social•67 days ago

Kind of obvious. He has nowhere to throw it or hand it off. He's got a garbage offensive line. He has the yips. You would get them too being chased by 340lb guys trying to plant you. The Browns and Jets FO's are also great at delivering the yips to QBs.

ebonovic.bsky.social•67 days ago

yah, he needs to read it in 1.2 seconds, given last night in 2 seconds, the defenders were in his face. took me longer to type that, then he had time to read a defense last night.

basksok.bsky.social•67 days ago

No question the line needs to br better, but it’s not all on them. QB can give them some help, but they’re not doing it right now. OC and QB/WRs together.

joeshabadoo.bsky.social•67 days ago

What if he's holding onto the ball because there's nowhere to go with it?

ebonovic.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ding Ding... exactly.

basksok.bsky.social•67 days ago

He has places to go, but won’t pull the trigger. Watch the All22? Guys are open off the ball but he clutches. And not identifying the blitz or calling for hot routes. He held too long in college(watched him at OU) and he holds too long now. Better an incompletion then another f-ing sack.

ebonovic.bsky.social•67 days ago

So have you submitted your resume for the OC or HC job... You seem to have all the different answers, that all the experts seem to miss. Even last night, on review of the 7 sacks, they all agreed that at BEST 2 he could have thrown away, but that was at a point he was trying to make a play

basksok.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yeah I’m not the only one saying that. He’s had the same issue since college. They even put the graphic up last night. Great arm, and can make things happen. But should work on reading the D and getting rid of it.

O-line is crazy bad.

fkameridian13.bsky.social•67 days ago

The O line is subpar and the coaching is beyond terrible. Tough to lay this all at Caleb Williams' feet.

ebonovic.bsky.social•67 days ago

Looked overwhelmed? No, he is just out of answers... and frustration is winning over optimism. Don't blame him.

chgosportsfan.bsky.social•67 days ago

Overwhelmed? Try that he looked like he was having to throw on the run every single play because his offensive line can't block anyone.

thechudog.bsky.social•67 days ago

He is being overwhelmed by defensive linemen in his backfield….

mprohan.bsky.social•67 days ago

That’s because he can’t look downfield because 3 guys are blowing past his supposed blockers on every play and are in his face.

mc-note32.bsky.social•67 days ago

All summer I heard about how the Bears were going to be the kings of the NFC north. In this division, they’ll be the basement dwellers for the next 5 years.

ebonovic.bsky.social•67 days ago

Whom ever that was, was absolutely mistaken. At BEST the outlook was them sneaking in as a wild card, in the 3 slot. no one was expecting them to go from worst to first, especially with the Lions and Packers... the Vikings are the surprise of the year.
