Bad Coaching Thread: Matt Eberflus canned like chunk light tuna

At least he's consistent?

Eberflus

EberfLOLs not calling a TO there is a fireable offense.

eberflol is a ****ing clown

Might be thread title worthy. I say do it before he's fired.

Flus is on a roll.

The fact that before today the last posts in here were also about Eberfool make him title-worthy for a little bit.

LOL Everflux

Bears have never fired a coach mid season in franchise history

I assume this was ANOTHER instance of Eberflus butchering a situation the average 9-year old playing Madden gets right... the opposite of the following, when he burned a TO for no reason.

I was at Thanksgiving with my family; none of whom care whatsoever about sports, so no TV, and I was reading the box score and play-by-play. I see 2nd & 10 at DET 25:

Bears were down 23-20, had two timeouts, 2nd and 10 at Detroit's 25. Clock stopped (incomplete pass on 1st down). Plenty of time to take some shots at winning the game in regulation. Why in all that is holy would you burn one of your two precious timeouts in this situation?!?!? Am I reading the play-by-play wrong?? Can somebody who watched the game please tell me the clock was running?

I also feel that:

Has to be a FG, right? Seems wayyyyy -ev to go for the Hail Mary. These kickers can hit 58-yarders in a dome pretty regularly.

I honestly hope someone who watched the game can explain why I'm not looking at the play-by-play right, because this **** is nuts.

I'm sure when somebody asked him about burning this TO, he's gonna do the old coach speak of, "we wanted to make sure we had the right look". Beyond the fact of that being way less important than time/timeouts/down and distance in this situation, I think it's pretty funny that the "right look" resulted in losing 16 yards in two plays and getting out of easy FG range 😃

does he get credit for not benching Caleb Williams, which a number of morons called for?

super bowl shuffle morphs into the eber floss

The only thing I can think of that could possibly approach the ignorance of not calling TO with 10+ seconds, would be him trying to explain why not calling TO there was the smart move.

I'd fire him for either.

ETA: I guess he could say that not calling TO there improved their draft position.

I have no words and somehow also have so many words at the same time.

Like what? The pass was 5+ yards short of the end zone.

QB is partially to blame but the HC has to step in there and stop the clock. This situation happens a lot near the goal line where QB takes too long but HC gets the TO before delay of game.

I think he means with the assumption that they got the play off with a reasonable amount of time left. Agreed that a lot of it is on Caleb and the team. Looked like no urgency and everybody looked set with ~11s left and somehow they don't snap it until :06 left? HC has to eventually step in and just call TO

Ya been thinking about this. As HC you're thinking at 12s left, ok he'll snap it, don't need to use TO. Then same thought again at 10, 9, 8...

I blame Caleb more than the coach. Still Eberflolz is hilarious.

It was truly a team effort.

Based on how it all transpired Eberflus could not have had a clue on managing the clock there.

At a minimum you need to retain the FG chance as a backstop.

Then, he needs to realize that whatever play was called there you will need time to either get the kicking team in, or take a TO (if you still have one) if no TD.

I think what happened is the OC had a 2nd and 3rd down plays already sent in, but the sack changed everything and caught them off guard. No plan B. So they wasted time figuring out the 3rd down play, got the play in late to Caleb, and Caleb could not pull the trigger.

In hindsight they should have taken TO immediately after the 2nd down sack. That gives them 35+ seconds time to properly plan out a play sequence. No need to save a TO with 35 seconds on 3rd down.

fess up now
which one of you was this?

I wish I could claim it. I envy that sumbitch!

The poster; not the coach.
