TERRIBLE time management...... I gotta fire someone after that

Haven't seen bad clock management like that since, uh (checks notes....) Reich? Rhule?

So the fact they don't care and aren't playing hard they are intentionally not trying to win?

 

 

They don't care. There's a difference between intentionally trying to lose for draft position (tanking) and being so awful your entire team stops trying to win.

Probably wont be a popular opinion give the obsession people have with receivers, but the Dolphins would be a better team if they resigned Hunt instead of Waddle.

Good OG's are much easier to find than good WR's.

I was going to say the Dak Prescott scramble a few years ago in the playoffs that ran out the clock before getting one final shot at the end zone.

But what happened at the end of the Bears game is a new level of incompetence. Made even worse in that the Bears used two timeouts on that final drive after the prior play was an incomplete pass. That and it sounds like Eberflus tried putting some of the blame on Caleb only for Caleb to indicate he doesn't have the capability to call timeouts and that he waited 20 seconds for him to get that playcall. 

My goodness, the game ended when they still had a timeout in their pocket. I can't recall a similar situation like that ever happening.

Not so sure I agree with that anymore...

There was a time, but over the last several years OL play has just gone in the toilet.

I'd be willing to wager most if not all of us have, at some point, found ourselves in a situation where we just stopped giving a sh-t.

This is especially true when you realize the people leading your particular group or organization are incompetent.

I disagree.  Most of the really big guys with athleticism want to play on the defensive side of the ball. Very few want to be a olinemen.

Yeah Caleb is generally way too slow to process really anything. Pre snap, in play, clock situations...Who knows if they actually practice 2 minute/end of game drills enough to drill it into these guys heads. Eberflus is a defensive coach and Thomas Brown is more of a position coach than an OC as we found out first hand lol. 

Yeah he needed a higher S2 score.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus’ Zoom is underway. Business as usual. He says “the operation wasn’t fast enough” on the final play. Acknowledged that calling a timeout right when Caleb Williams was sacked was an option. He and Thomas Brown watched the last drive together this AM.

Agreed. A lot of teams have at least 1 good wr, some have 2. Most teams don't have the same number of good og

The least shocking news of the day.

 

At least they gave him the respect to not fire him on Thanksgiving Day.

Welp and just like that Thomas Brown gets himself a brief head coaching audition.
