Caleb after the game talked about that play and he said that it took a long time to get the playcall in for that last play, by the time he got everyone lined up to run it there was like 12 seconds left and he realized the play that was called wouldn’t work as they only had one shot at this point unless a timeout was called (That’s on flus). So he made an adjustment at the line and changed the play knowing the clock situation and took his shot. As always we really appreciate the analysis Tim, definitely the best on TH-cam I’ve learned so much watching your vids!❤
@ I agree especially as a rookie, if anything he’s doing more than he’s supposed to, he shouldn’t be getting put in a position where he has to fix the pivotal mistakes of the coaching staff and make up for their lack of competence over and over, and he’s been doing it all season. Coaches should be there to help and propel him and they have been holding him back immensely
It seems very clear to me that Caleb picked some of those less obvious progressions because he saw a defensive lineman flashing in front of him in the direction of the earlier read. Very simply, he avoided getting a batted pass or throwing a tipped interception by moving to the next read. His talent allows him to make those work, so ultimately he has more options than many QBs do because of that.
FFS, I'm not blaming the ROOKIE QB for any of what happened. He's a ROOKIE! He's under tremendous pressure and he's being asked to do things he's never done before. Shame on anyone placing any amount of blame on Caleb.
Seriously, people are treating him/hating on him like he's a 10 year vet and expecting him to game manage like prime Manning, Rodgers, Brees, etc. Yes, a timeout needed to be called in that situation, and a vet QB should be able to do that by himself, but in this situation, it's 100% ON THE COACHES WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEVELOPING/PROTECTING THEIR ROOKIE. A rookie who has dragged them back into winnable games multiple times this season only for them to lose due to stupid coaching mistakes (which includes a lack of focus from the players themselves).
Watch the first play. Tim is only looking at the WRs but the guard and Center don’t block the LB and Homer gets blown up in his hip. Bet Tim would say “gotta get that ball out” if he was sacked. Chris Morgan is a fraud and so is Tim. Watch the fucking tape Tim!
The only things I'm blaming on Caleb are his inaccurate throws. That and being a bit slow on his reads. But, as you stated, he's a rookie. I'm confident this can be cleaned up. The accuracy issues are strange to me because I didn't think anyone was really concerned with that going into the draft. He misses A LOT of open WRs. But then he drops a perfect pass in the bucket so it's obvious he can get it right.
@@scottschoen8081 yea that first half was not great with some of those throws. If he can get heated up in the first half of games then we wouldn't even need to be put into spots like this in the first place. Like you mentioned, it can probably be cleaned up with some good coaching but knowing the bears history we will ruin this somehow
33:03 Borum's whif was bad but it's not like Braxtons technique on the left side was much better. I mean sure he technically touched his defender which Borum didn't but it only amounted to about 1/10 of a second delay in him getting home.
the thing is, Borum has 4 years under his belt, Braxton needs this full year and next year of seasoning for 3 years under his belt. With Darnell Wright hurting his knee (again!) Borom was the floater, but i swear he was mentally back at guard like college, so tight on the line and not even considering the DT. This is all we have, otherwise you had Matt Pryor, who might be better for a run play. Borum is all we have!
@@chillpillology Yeah. I was saying elsewhere yesterday that we need at least improvements at O-Line and really there's not a single player on the line that I wouldn't consider an upgrade of. They're doing better without Waldron calling weird schemes that were beyond their talent level but ultimately they're merely adequate to 2nd/3rd stringers.
Caleb is THE BEST QB we have ever seen in Chicago, the throws he makes are seriously impressive! He makes mistakes sure but when the game is on the line, he doesn’t think twice and makes plays to win us games, Caleb should be 3-0 in his first 3 division games! Along with a few other 4th quarter comebacks!! Get the next coach right because not only does CW deserve it but so does the team and us fans! Can we PLEASE finally take the north!🐻⬇️
As a retired saftey I appreciate your honesty about the hit on the sideline. It looked like it hurt but Caleb is a "runner" at that point. Good no call, 100% on Caleb for taking that damage, and great play by the defender. As a defensive player its our job to make the QB feel it when they run. If they try to be a hero thats on them.
I still don’t get why they don’t get Rome 1 on 1 and use him as a Courtland Sutton/ George Pickens. He strived at those 50/50 balls at Washington. You don’t draft a WR 9 overall and not use him like he should be used
@ that’s true yeah. I guess you got 2 great vets in there. Id still like to see some more plays between the two like the back shoulder throw on 4 and 3 in the packers game
10th clip-- Rome did miss the details ( though caught the ball). He was probably to release a little delayed and a sharp slant beneath Cole Kmet-- he seems to have busted it and did drag it out but the play looks funky because he seems to need to be hot across the front of the middle linebacker !
Bears got a call or two to make it seem fair but: 1)bs roughing on Goff 2)no DPI vs Moore on hitch in first half 3)Caleb punched in the face by 32 4)incorrect horse collar call on 3rd 5) face mask on Allen no call 6) DPI/shielding on the 4&4 wheel route to swift not called 7) multiple low hits after the play/out of bounds
windycityflier - The game was completely a Pro-Detroit called game. Not even a question. Jameson Williams caught the ball and got three feet down before the fumble. Not only did they not call a facemask on Keenan Allen but they ended calling him for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The penalty not called on the 4th down pass to Swift was hard to believe. The Lions were hitting Caleb Williams harder than the hit on Jared Goff that was called roughing the passer. Even with all of these calls or non-calls that the Bears had to fight against, they still should have at least tied the game. If Caleb Williams would have completed the pass to a wide open D.J. Moore at 44 seconds left in the game, they probably would have won the game and Matt Eberflus would still be the head coach. Fans wanted Matt Eberflus fired. They have been praying for it for weeks. It has an effect. There is a cause and effect to having thousands of fans verbally asking for Matt Eberflus to be fired. Events in the game caused it to happen. That is how things work in this world.
Caleb also pointed out that he got hit in the head on the play where Jenkins got penalised for illegal contact to the face by pushing his opponent's helmet clean off his head. That should have been off-setting penalties with a 2nd and 10 from the 25. Instead it became 2nd and 20 from the edge of field goal range, killing any realistic chance of trying for a TD to win. The Borom sack followed immediately on what was supposed to be a draw play run behind him, which if he'd even laid a hand on the DE would have resulted in Caleb gaining a few yards and the ball being spotted on Santos's favourite right hash. The refs, the players and the coach all managed to blow this game for the Bears.
Larry "what are we doing" Borom is an emergency... the ball boy is not available back up. 32:32.. it's not the preseason in his rookie year.. this is mindlblowing .. player at fault and coaching not preparing these players to be competent.
Just wondering - at the last play, was Caleb waiting so long to snap the ball because he PURPOSEFULLY called the wrong play to signal to eberflus to call a time out and they discuss a New play? At the same time the formation handcuffed Flus into HAVING to see if the play he had NOT called was going to work? Either way it amounted to Flus clearly being as helpless in that moment as his coaching skill has been. I kinda believe Caleb was pouting in that moment with that whole INTENTIONAL set up.
Hardest working guy in the game. Smash the like button. Tim always keepin it real. One question for u. What kind of concepts do u see Thomas brown running with consistency that Waldron didn’t run? I’m tryin to figure out for the next coach what kind of offense Caleb would be best in and what he’s most comfortable with
On that final play I was trying to figure out if Caleb expect Rome to tail his route back out since they were in two high, but it doesn’t matter. He missed Moore on 1st and that’s what killed them.
Looked like he was expecting Rome to go on a corner route, and if Rome did turn toward the sideline and get to the corner, the ball would’ve fallen right into his hands, and could’ve gone for a gw td. Either way they didn’t have anytime to really go over that final play.
I agree Caleb has to calm his feet, which will make him much more accurate on his throws. He also needs to use his eyes as a weapon to manipulate the defense. If he calms his feet, I think it'll make him calmer where he can utilize his eyes better.
arm talent cannot be taught.. Caleb is throwing underneath mess ball to DJ with a 6'5" monster in his grill.. Hits DJ on the fade TD without having the ability to step forward and follow through completely.. the misses are easy to criticize on the film..because we, the viewers are not experiencing the pressure, and the speed of the game.. all that said. Caleb has true talent Chicago has never seen at the QB position since Cutler... but Caleb is much more mobile and less of a gunslinger interception machine like Cutler.
Evidently you never saw McMahon. If he hadn't been busted up coming out of college he would be the top Bear qb by far. He read Def like a Tom Brady / Peyton Manning and had a release not quite as fast as Marino but close. His problem was he had a linebacker mentality playing QB Damn near blinded in college due to a fork in his eye. CW has to lose the hero ball mentality. He has a quick release but him changing plays at the line is assine coaching. He is a rook.
@@byronscherer5098 I was in HS during Super Bears.. McMahon was great in college... McMahon will always be a chicago bear legend.. your "if" argument applies to many great athletes... McMahon is nowhere near the athlete or arm talent as Caleb.. McMahon was synonymous with the "wounded duck" pass.
@foreverfree3953 you better look at his college stats for that era. I doubt Caleb will ever read a defense like Jim. Comprehend what I said. I'll repeat. If Jim had not come out of college busted up the Bears would have won multiple superbowls. Wounded duck ball well rewatch the Minnesota game from 85 at as Ditka would call it the " rollerdome". Wait til CW has to play in the Dec Jan weather with the wind at soldier field. CW does have a quick release but his footwork is atrocious.
If Eberflus takes 7 points after the 2nd TD with 13.5 min left in the 4th quarter, the last possession is totally different and we're set up for a game winning FG from the 20. No sack, no Jenkins penalty. Let's not go for 2 pt conversions unless it's end of game and we need to tie. I think that will change now.
Is it me or did there not seem to be any sense of urgency from the Bears players as the clock was running down? Tuning in with about a minute left, I just assumed they didn't have any time outs...
Funny how: A. If he hits DJ on that mesh, Eberflus keeps his job and B. The last sack play was a QB draw I believe so maybe that’s why he was “guarding air”. Not an excuse but perhaps that’s where the communication broke down.
The point of a good head coach, is to calm down a rookie from hurting the team. Caleb called his own number at the line on the last play, gotta love the confidence, but the coach has to step in if the clock isn’t being managed. He failed miserably, and punched his ticket out of town. Happy Friday!
Tim!!!... I think we missed something... look at Rome on the last play, he turned the wrong way when looking back for the ball. If he turned correctly that's probably a touchdown cuz he would have been in stride, great ball by Caleb.
8:59 they’ve been trying to “clean up his footwork and pocket presence” since OU. Kliff pointed this out multiple times. Belichick said the same, Brady.. Manning. They all talk about his poor pocket awareness and tendency to play hero ball and missing the easy stuff. At some point that’s just who he is. A home run hitter with no variance. Also his athleticism well WAY oversold.
Caleb having so much room to grow is what excites me the most, but he *needs* a HC and staff that will actually help his development, along with himself buying in completely. The season is lost we should focus on Caleb's progress and confidence as much as possible. Being competitive and actually winning would help him a lot at this point in time. I know some fans just want to lose out bc of the lost season and to get a higher draft pick, but I think we need to go out and still compete the last 3 games have all been single score losses vs playoff teams the 49ers are beatable and Caleb has to show he can lead a team to a win without a shitty HC holding him back.
Burning that 2nd timeout leaving only one earlier in the drive because they couldn’t get the play in and off was huge as well and nobody really mentions that. Two timeouts would’ve been so useful….not that Flus would’ve probably used them correctly.
Hear me out fam. Last play if the game. Caleb knows he could grab 10 yards and use the T like Flus wants. But he ALSO knows he can't win a SB with Flus. So he does what must be done given the season is already lost. 😂
is it just a bad camera angle or did the reciever quit his rout on the last play of the game? It looked like if he had continued to run through the play, Williams throw would had dropped right in his hands.
Love your content, however I put maybe 10% of the ending on Caleb.. YES, he needs to get up to the line/snap the ball sooner.. but he's a rookie and the HEAD COACH needs to be the one watching this critical part of the game. Call. The. Timeout. Maybe even right after the sack (0:32 left I believe)! Set up a play for either some quick short yards OR a shot into the end zone! Then depending how that goes, the ST unit is ready to run onto the field for a game tying kick try if needs be. Glad EberfLOSE is gone at least.. Sadly, no matter how much better the Bears fare the last five games the playoffs are out and with the talent on this team that's a real shame.
Last drive the OC (now interim HC who was calling plays from the booth) said in the mic "This is our chance, brother." Then Caleb missed DJ, Caleb told the RT to let his guy through like Sunshine did in Remember The Titans, & then after a timeout wasn't called Caleb decided to change the last call & determined he'll either hit the game winning TD to Rome that beats the best team in the NFL or it'll get Eberflus fired. That entire drive was well done by Caleb Williams & Thomas Brown
@jerraddennis2225 it's crazy right? It's not like the fallout of that situation made Thomas Brown HC while Williams received very minimal blame. By the way, after watching that last play a few times Caleb actually threw a decent ball but Rome seems to have let up or lost the ball tracking it. It might've been interesting. But either way I think that situation was the best thing for the organization going forward
I put that more on the coach as soon as he seen the offense Was discombobulated He should have called a time out x players said the same thing hall of fame coaches have said the same thing he is a rookie make it easy on your rookie qb yes should have caleb snap the ball quicker yes he is rookie still learning the nfl game he is not a veteran make it easy an dont put your young qb in that situation in the first place all this could have been avoided if the coach would have called a time out
what i dont like or worry about is hes making keenan his no 1 in my eyes when i was hoping either dj or rome because i dont believe keenan will be a bear next year.
That was not a PI because the WR initiated the contact with his reach to protect himself. The defender was face guarding so it would have been a PI but yeah it was the outstretched arm that made it a non Pi. It probably could have been called a PI by another referee and no one would have complained.
Watch the sack at the end of the game. The ball was on the 35 yard line. #98s hand was also lined uo on the 35 yard line marker. To make matters worse there was a ze bra at the bottom of the screen standing on 35 YARD LINE. YOU CANT SAY HE DIDNT SEE IT. YOU WANNA KNOW WHY THE LEFT TACKLE DIDNT GET A HAND ON HIM? NOW YOU KNOW WHY. BY THE TIME CALEB CAUGHT THE SNAP #98 WAS ALREAY TACKLING HIM
I wish my team, the Commanders, had fans who took up for our QB when he’s not playing well, like you guys…We’re 7-5 and he’s still the OROY front runner and some of these clowns are calling Jayden a bust because the team’s on a 3 game losing streak, 2 of which they admit we were probably gonna lose anyway! WTH??
It's almost like the last drive of the last 3 games the players purposely screwed up in hopes to get their coach fired! I'm guessing they noticed that Eberflus knew he was getting fired at the end of the season, so he wasn't putting much effort into preparing them for each game and they got the game close to prove they are good but got redemption by getting their coach in trouble! A funny theory would be that the team has pride and doesn't want blown out, but they do want to lose to get their coach fired who has essentially quit on his team because he thinks he's getting canned anyway! Isn't there a movie with a plot like this???
You can argue the bears are the best team in the nfc north with an average coach…Vikings- on the ropes …packers- on the ropes …. Lions (best team in the nfl most say) - on the ropes .
Did Caleb make a mistake on the last play by running down the clock while he is trying to get everyone set? Yes. But a head coach is supposed to help a team overcome thier mistakes, not compound them.
You can give Caleb some fault for what happened but ultimately the HC should call the TO. It trumps all. Flus royally screwed up and got fired rightly so for all the blunders over the last 3 years with most of them this year somehow
You can make demands on the OL signing…damn, nvm, not in charge. If I was Kruetz would be the OL coach. I’d make Briggs the LB coach and over the next few years, after building the line, I’d draft two star LBs
Am I the only one who thinks if Rome turned toward the corner on that final play, he would’ve caught the ball and scored? Seems like that’s where Caleb was throwing to, which would’ve been right in the bucket had he turned that way initially instead of turning toward the middle. Regardless what clusterfuck of an end. WRs fault for not getting back and lining up, Caleb’s fault for snapping it earlier, and MOST of all Flus’s fault for not recognizing his ROOKIE qb does not have control of the situation and call a timeout when he’s right next to the damn ref. Bears need to hire the right guy and Caleb should have a huge year2 leap.
I don’t think his eyes go to DJ but it does go to outside maybe caleb should have faked or started looking at the middle of the field then back outside I mean you can Look at it many ways the safety was reading the position of the QB didn’t bother to look at Rome and what route he was running.
If anybody remembers, the refs met to discuss the long DPI call on the final drive, presumable to discuss whether or not the ball was uncatchable because DJ was 10 yards away from where the ball landed. Why was he so far away from the ball when it landed? Because he gave up on the play before it was over...again. Trade in offseason please. terrible attitude.
Maybe...but doesn't stop a coach from calling a timeout when he sees the clock ticking down like that, even if the players were purposely draining it down. The TO should have been called right when the sack was taken.
You're right. Everflus was convinced that Caleb was going to snap the given play, however, the second he saw that Caleb wasn't he should have seen what was happening and yanked the reins. Seems like the players knew Flus isn't that kind of guy and just steam rolled him right out of the building, using his passive nature as the bus to run him over with.
Caleb after the game talked about that play and he said that it took a long time to get the playcall in for that last play, by the time he got everyone lined up to run it there was like 12 seconds left and he realized the play that was called wouldn’t work as they only had one shot at this point unless a timeout was called (That’s on flus). So he made an adjustment at the line and changed the play knowing the clock situation and took his shot.

Yea this was easy to see from watching it live. Crazy to me how soo many people cna just put this solely on him

The thing that’s worrying me is the Thomas brown is having him go to his first read
@ that’s what you want him to do. If it’s there throw it. Not sure what you mean by this?
Thanks for doing these videos. They are great. Wish you were on the team helping him out. Love Caleb and like seeing him progress.

@@MrJakmattgoing low on a QB at the sideline is dirty af I don’t care if he’s a runner or not. He dove at his knees looking to hurt him.
@@DonDizzz Exactly my point. Was going for the legs regardless if he went out or not. Clearly dirty.
That last sack was a ridiculous. Both tackles basically blocked air,never seen anything like it

Hey Tim thanks again for the breakdown. Question, how do you feel about flus being fired.
It was needed!
I agree. Do you like Thomas Brown being HC, I think it’s a great idea it’s going to take a minute though
Great analysis as always
BEST FOOTBALL PODCAST…SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN WITH EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
Love the breakdowns!
Awesome as always
At 24:12 Keenan Allen jukes the DB so bad that is instantly creates 5 yards of separation. Incredible!
Your analysis is crazy good,
I still don’t get why they don’t get Rome 1 on 1 and use him as a Courtland Sutton/ George Pickens. He strived at those 50/50 balls at Washington. You don’t draft a WR 9 overall and not use him like he should be used
He’s not ready yet, Williams threw a perfect pass in the last play of the game room couldn’t locate the ball. DJ and Keenan are better for now.
@ that’s true yeah. I guess you got 2 great vets in there. Id still like to see some more plays between the two like the back shoulder throw on 4 and 3 in the packers game
Thanks for the content!
10th clip-- Rome did miss the details ( though caught the ball). He was probably to release a little delayed and a sharp slant beneath Cole Kmet-- he seems to have busted it and did drag it out but the play looks funky because he seems to need to be hot across the front of the middle linebacker !
Bears got a call or two to make it seem fair but:
1)bs roughing on Goff
2)no DPI vs Moore on hitch in first half 3)Caleb punched in the face by 32 4)incorrect horse collar call on 3rd
5) face mask on Allen no call
6) DPI/shielding on the 4&4 wheel route to swift not called

I agree Caleb has to calm his feet, which will make him much more accurate on his throws. He also needs to use his eyes as a weapon to manipulate the defense. If he calms his feet, I think it'll make him calmer where he can utilize his eyes better.
arm talent cannot be taught.. Caleb is throwing underneath mess ball to DJ with a 6'5" monster in his grill.. Hits DJ on the fade TD without having the ability to step forward and follow through completely.. the misses are easy to criticize on the film..because we, the viewers are not experiencing the pressure, and the speed of the game.. all that said. Caleb has true talent Chicago has never seen at the QB position since Cutler... but Caleb is much more mobile and less of a gunslinger interception machine like Cutler.
Evidently you never saw McMahon. If he hadn't been busted up coming out of college he would be the top Bear qb by far. He read Def like a Tom Brady / Peyton Manning and had a release not quite as fast as Marino but close. His problem was he had a linebacker mentality playing QB Damn near blinded in college due to a fork in his eye. CW has to lose the hero ball mentality. He has a quick release but him changing plays at the line is assine coaching. He is a rook.
@@byronscherer5098 I was in HS during Super Bears.. McMahon was great in college... McMahon will always be a chicago bear legend.. your "if" argument applies to many great athletes... McMahon is nowhere near the athlete or arm talent as Caleb.. McMahon was synonymous with the "wounded duck" pass.
@foreverfree3953 you better look at his college stats for that era. I doubt Caleb will ever read a defense like Jim. Comprehend what I said. I'll repeat. If Jim had not come out of college busted up the Bears would have won multiple superbowls. Wounded duck ball well rewatch the Minnesota game from 85 at as Ditka would call it the " rollerdome". Wait til CW has to play in the Dec Jan weather with the wind at soldier field. CW does have a quick release but his footwork is atrocious.
I feel the need to point out on the play our RT was blocking air, the LT didn’t do much if at all better
If Eberflus takes 7 points after the 2nd TD with 13.5 min left in the 4th quarter, the last possession is totally different and we're set up for a game winning FG from the 20. No sack, no Jenkins penalty. Let's not go for 2 pt conversions unless it's end of game and we need to tie. I think that will change now.
Is it me or did there not seem to be any sense of urgency from the Bears players as the clock was running down? Tuning in with about a minute left, I just assumed they didn't have any time outs...
Funny how: A. If he hits DJ on that mesh, Eberflus keeps his job and B. The last sack play was a QB draw I believe so maybe that’s why he was “guarding air”. Not an excuse but perhaps that’s where the communication broke down.
When tim says "How?" I hear owen wilson "Wow"
Rome got a PI on that last play.
The point of a good head coach, is to calm down a rookie from hurting the team. Caleb called his own number at the line on the last play, gotta love the confidence, but the coach has to step in if the clock isn’t being managed. He failed miserably, and punched his ticket out of town. Happy Friday!
I think I’ve put this comment on every one of your Caleb Williams videos: Caleb wasn’t the wrong pick, Eberflus was.
Great breakdown 👍🏽... Loved it.... Bye flus 👋🏽.... 🐻⬇️
Tim!!!... I think we missed something... look at Rome on the last play, he turned the wrong way when looking back for the ball. If he turned correctly that's probably a touchdown cuz he would have been in stride, great ball by Caleb.
Gotta get your business card to Ryan Poles, Tim
Commenting on the ref’s flag throw 😂
Also no 75 has been a recurring issue.
not even Mahomes is perfect. It will take some time, but your 100% right
8:59 they’ve been trying to “clean up his footwork and pocket presence” since OU. Kliff pointed this out multiple times. Belichick said the same, Brady.. Manning. They all talk about his poor pocket awareness and tendency to play hero ball and missing the easy stuff. At some point that’s just who he is. A home run hitter with no variance. Also his athleticism well WAY oversold.
I am not convinced the Bears will be that much better but they can't be worse without EberFlus
Caleb having so much room to grow is what excites me the most, but he *needs* a HC and staff that will actually help his development, along with himself buying in completely. The season is lost we should focus on Caleb's progress and confidence as much as possible. Being competitive and actually winning would help him a lot at this point in time. I know some fans just want to lose out bc of the lost season and to get a higher draft pick, but I think we need to go out and still compete the last 3 games have all been single score losses vs playoff teams the 49ers are beatable and Caleb has to show he can lead a team to a win without a shitty HC holding him back.
Burning that 2nd timeout leaving only one earlier in the drive because they couldn’t get the play in and off was huge as well and nobody really mentions that. Two timeouts would’ve been so useful….not that Flus would’ve probably used them correctly.
caleb will end up being the best QB out of this class
Eyes on the salad! Love the analogy. :-)
Future is Bright, BIG IF we make the right hires!
Hear me out fam. Last play if the game. Caleb knows he could grab 10 yards and use the T like Flus wants. But he ALSO knows he can't win a SB with Flus. So he does what must be done given the season is already lost. 😂
is it just a bad camera angle or did the reciever quit his rout on the last play of the game? It looked like if he had continued to run through the play, Williams throw would had dropped right in his hands.
So many times it seams like the recievers give up before the play is done. It's been all season long. Like 5 seconds and they are done.
Love your content, however I put maybe 10% of the ending on Caleb.. YES, he needs to get up to the line/snap the ball sooner.. but he's a rookie and the HEAD COACH needs to be the one watching this critical part of the game. Call. The. Timeout. Maybe even right after the sack (0:32 left I believe)! Set up a play for either some quick short yards OR a shot into the end zone! Then depending how that goes, the ST unit is ready to run onto the field for a game tying kick try if needs be. Glad EberfLOSE is gone at least.. Sadly, no matter how much better the Bears fare the last five games the playoffs are out and with the talent on this team that's a real shame.
only thing i have to look forward to after Sundays is Tim pointing out how good our QB is
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You’re the best
Tim, could i interest you in a OC position for the Bears?
Awesome
I hope the Bears reach out to you in the off season to work with Caleb at the very least!
Last drive the OC (now interim HC who was calling plays from the booth) said in the mic "This is our chance, brother." Then Caleb missed DJ, Caleb told the RT to let his guy through like Sunshine did in Remember The Titans, & then after a timeout wasn't called Caleb decided to change the last call & determined he'll either hit the game winning TD to Rome that beats the best team in the NFL or it'll get Eberflus fired. That entire drive was well done by Caleb Williams & Thomas Brown
this is a laughably stupid take
@jerraddennis2225 it's crazy right? It's not like the fallout of that situation made Thomas Brown HC while Williams received very minimal blame. By the way, after watching that last play a few times Caleb actually threw a decent ball but Rome seems to have let up or lost the ball tracking it. It might've been interesting. But either way I think that situation was the best thing for the organization going forward
The first play he eyed put DJ and the saftey went over there. Well Rome had a one on one. That should have been the throw
Nobody is really noting that Kmet kept moving & wasn’t set until there was 9 seconds left on the clock.
how can it be DPI when the defender doesn't touch the receiver?
Is it on the OC or the QB coach to address Caleb's feet, or both?! It didn't happen with Fields either. Just curious.
I put that more on the coach as soon as he seen the offense Was discombobulated He should have called a time out x players said the same thing hall of fame coaches have said the same thing he is a rookie make it easy on your rookie qb yes should have caleb snap the ball quicker yes he is rookie still learning the nfl game he is not a veteran make it easy an dont put your young qb in that situation in the first place all this could have been avoided if the coach would have called a time out
That botched play at the end ALMOST ended up being a game winner had he made the connection with Rome. It was close!
what i dont like or worry about is hes making keenan his no 1 in my eyes when i was hoping either dj or rome because i dont believe keenan will be a bear next year.
That was not a PI because the WR initiated the contact with his reach to protect himself. The defender was face guarding so it would have been a PI but yeah it was the outstretched arm that made it a non Pi. It probably could have been called a PI by another referee and no one would have complained.
Eyes on the salad, walks away. 😂😂😂
Watch the sack at the end of the game. The ball was on the 35 yard line. #98s hand was also lined uo on the 35 yard line marker. To make matters worse there was a ze bra at the bottom of the screen standing on 35 YARD LINE. YOU CANT SAY HE DIDNT SEE IT. YOU WANNA KNOW WHY THE LEFT TACKLE DIDNT GET A HAND ON HIM? NOW YOU KNOW WHY. BY THE TIME CALEB CAUGHT THE SNAP #98 WAS ALREAY TACKLING HIM
I wish my team, the Commanders, had fans who took up for our QB when he’s not playing well, like you guys…We’re 7-5 and he’s still the OROY front runner and some of these clowns are calling Jayden a bust because the team’s on a 3 game losing streak, 2 of which they admit we were probably gonna lose anyway! WTH??
Last two plays were an all around disaster. From what Caleb said I think he over thought it after being put in a tough spot.
It's almost like the last drive of the last 3 games the players purposely screwed up in hopes to get their coach fired! I'm guessing they noticed that Eberflus knew he was getting fired at the end of the season, so he wasn't putting much effort into preparing them for each game and they got the game close to prove they are good but got redemption by getting their coach in trouble! A funny theory would be that the team has pride and doesn't want blown out, but they do want to lose to get their coach fired who has essentially quit on his team because he thinks he's getting canned anyway! Isn't there a movie with a plot like this???
You can argue the bears are the best team in the nfc north with an average coach…Vikings- on the ropes …packers- on the ropes …. Lions (best team in the nfl most say) - on the ropes .
Where o where is Roshon Johnson?
Did Caleb make a mistake on the last play by running down the clock while he is trying to get everyone set? Yes. But a head coach is supposed to help a team overcome thier mistakes, not compound them.
you're hired.
Damn, big fan of Caleb but if he hit that play before the sack to DJ thats prolly 6 and the game!
He also said the Bears are failing Justin Fields and that he was a NFL Franchise QB …. ✅
At 17:55 you didn't have to put those 3 seconds on repeat over and over again 😭
For the algorithm broseph! Flus is OUT!! Thank fucking goodness.
Dude the salad thing for the pass interference lol
Eyes on the salad 😂😂
You can give Caleb some fault for what happened but ultimately the HC should call the TO. It trumps all. Flus royally screwed up and got fired rightly so for all the blunders over the last 3 years with most of them this year somehow
Hey Tim, what you doing next year? Wanna be a qb coach for the bears? lol
You can make demands on the OL signing…damn, nvm, not in charge. If I was Kruetz would be the OL coach. I’d make Briggs the LB coach and over the next few years, after building the line, I’d draft two star LBs
Am I the only one who thinks if Rome turned toward the corner on that final play, he would’ve caught the ball and scored? Seems like that’s where Caleb was throwing to, which would’ve been right in the bucket had he turned that way initially instead of turning toward the middle. Regardless what clusterfuck of an end. WRs fault for not getting back and lining up, Caleb’s fault for snapping it earlier, and MOST of all Flus’s fault for not recognizing his ROOKIE qb does not have control of the situation and call a timeout when he’s right next to the damn ref. Bears need to hire the right guy and Caleb should have a huge year2 leap.
I think the play he got sacked on was a QB draw. Look at both OT sets and how the C goes out to block the MIKE.
I don’t think his eyes go to DJ but it does go to outside maybe caleb should have faked or started looking at the middle of the field then back outside I mean you can Look at it many ways the safety was reading the position of the QB didn’t bother to look at Rome and what route he was running.
Tim Jenkins for QB Coach/OC!!!
Nah. He doesn’t consider O Line play. 😂
Walking away from the salad😂
I feel like Caleb made a decision at the end to get rid of eberflus he was acting like he had all the time in the world
Fta, bear down!
If anybody remembers, the refs met to discuss the long DPI call on the final drive, presumable to discuss whether or not the ball was uncatchable because DJ was 10 yards away from where the ball landed. Why was he so far away from the ball when it landed? Because he gave up on the play before it was over...again. Trade in offseason please. terrible attitude.
FTA
Maybe... Players knew & made a business decision regarding a new Coach and Draft stock. This was akin to taking a fall in a boxing match.... Maybe?
Maybe...but doesn't stop a coach from calling a timeout when he sees the clock ticking down like that, even if the players were purposely draining it down. The TO should have been called right when the sack was taken.
You're right. Everflus was convinced that Caleb was going to snap the given play, however, the second he saw that Caleb wasn't he should have seen what was happening and yanked the reins. Seems like the players knew Flus isn't that kind of guy and just steam rolled him right out of the building, using his passive nature as the bus to run him over with.
