Do you mean this decade as in 2020 on, or the previous ten years?
Fuck the Bears Week
- Thread starter Kburjr
- Start date
Looks like the OL was setting up for a quick screen, but there was no RB in formation on that side of the field and only two WRs - one did a terrible quick hitch on the sideline that was easily covered and the other was a deep corner who still had his back to the ball when Caleb hit the deck. Caleb also ran into the place he should've been throwing the ball to a RB or WR. The whole offense fucked that play up worse than a middle school football team.

There's no RB period. lol
It's a design slide left. It sucks a mountain of dicks, even if executed to perfection. It takes the TE completely out of the play. Runs all the LBs into DJ's quick hitch area and 3 Bears o-lineman touch no one.
It's fucking awful.

There are countless plays this season where 4 WRs are in the same 6 yd by 6 yd area at the end of the play.
The o-line was not great before all their injuries, now they're really not good. If you were a good OC, what would you do? I know what I'd do. I'd run the fuck out of it, and then run PA off of it. Waldron just sits there getting pudgier.

I couldn't see the right side of the field on that shot, so I didn't know if a RB flanked right.
OL has to be careful who they touch when, where and how to avoid OL downfield penalty, but yeah the effort and cohesion just on the OL alone was abysmal.
Regardless, yes it was awful (hilariously so for me). At least half the team blew their assignments and executed the play like 8-year-olds. There was definitely some miscommunication involved, too. I wouldn't be surprised if Caleb completely obliterated the play call communication to the position groups in the huddle then forgot the play himself by the time the ball was snapped.
I haven't watched much Bears football compared to you this season thus far, but it seems to me like Caleb's confidence is getting rattled. Are you seeing that?

I dunno man, I am seeing waaay too many plays, that conceptually just don't make any sense. And it is weekly, and it multiple, multiple MULTIPLE times a game.
The WRs are not getting separation and they are certainly not scheming them open. Couple that with abysmal o-line play, poorly timed playcalls and execution and ya, I'd say Caleb is a bit rattled.
Watching the tape, Caleb's eyes and body are fine on most plays, but far too many times, the WR's backs are still to him. It's fucking with the timing of things and the line is not good enough to hold long enough for shit to develop.
He was sacked 9 fucking times by the fucking Patriots. Rattled or not, they are not in a good place.
Maybe firing walking potato will light a fire, but I doubt it. I don't trust Eberflus as far as I could kick him.
In McCarthy's last couple years as HC in GB, GB's the OL & WR group (except Adams) sucked. McCarthy would call a play and Rodgers would run whateverthefuck he wanted from the huddle anyway - which almost always included three slow-developing deep routes and no checkdowns. The offense couldn't go anywhere because the OL couldn't hold up long enough for any routes to develop and the WRs weren't getting separation anyway. It was inferiorating. I understand.
When you know your OL is not good at pass protection, the only way you're moving the ball through the air is with quick-hitters; get the ball out of the QB's hands quickly and let the playmakers make plays. It's baffling how some coaches reach the highest level without such a simple & effective concept.

AQ Shipley was on Pat McAfee and made some pretty good points.
He thinks a lot of the Bears struggles fall on the first year QB coach Kerry Joseph particularly when it comes to taking sacks. The OL might be bad but Caleb has a habit (dating back to his time at USC) of holding onto the ball and thinks Joseph should be on him to tell him to make his reads and throw it out of bounds if no receiver is open. Caleb is often holding onto the ball for 4-5 seconds before taking a bad sack.

On the flipside, if no receiver is open, that's not on the QB coach. Play design sucks and the players aren't executing - which falls on coaches above the QB coach's head.

Sure but the QB coach should be the one educating the rookie signal caller about throwing the ball away and not taking a 7-plus yard loss on the play. League leading 38 sacks.....and it's not just in the pros.....Caleb held on to the ball too long at USC also.

And I am not defending Waldron, he was a horrible hire IMO. Just like Getsy with Vegas.
Both deserved to be fired.
I'm not absolving the QB coach or Caleb from blame; they both hold their fair share, too. Just pointing out that you can blame the QB coach for receivers not getting open. He may suck, too, but for different reasons.

My whole point in the original post? Was the QB coach telling Caleb to throw it away if no receiver is open.....RATHER than take a loss of 7-plus yards. Negative yard plays are not good. Of course the QB coach isn't responsible for receivers not being able to get open.
That's all.

Day 3. Brian Ferentz could scheme a better offense.
I've never liked rushing only 3 in hail mary situations.

Let's not forget that dipshit Eberflus had all 3 timeouts in his pocket.
This dude routinely wastes timeouts and rarely has ANY at the end of the half and game, and this time the motherfucker has all 3 and never thought..."Let's burn one here, and just reiterate the page we're all supposed to be on. Like maybe, "Hey Tyrique, just a reminder, your job on this play is not to go jerk off in the stands with the crowd...got it? Good! Now get out there and win this you bumbling rag tag group of tards!"
