Week 11 Official Game Thread - Poverty Franchise vs GB - Sometime next weekend, who cares.

This organization always invents new ways to lose games and freak over their young quarterbacks. Caleb should already have 2 come from behind wins already as a rookie and his head coach blew both of them, just like he blew the 3 games last year with Fields at QB the year previous. 

Defense, once again blows a late lead. QB does his job saving the defense by getting them into FG range, and then, of course, their kicker fucks it up and the HC, mismanages the play before by punting on the opportunity to gain a couple more yards before calling a timeout.

Packers are the luckiest organization ever. I'm convinced they could try to lose against the Bears and still win at this point. They were outplayed for the majority of the game and still won. freak them, freak this franchise, and freak Matt Eberflus. I can't wait until we never have to see him and Poles again.

Agree with most of what you say, though I think they are saying the Packers got a hand on the kick. So that miss goes more on the Packers push up the middle than Santos f****ing up.

This was a great game for us and our future. Defense played OK, except for giving up some stupid crazy big plays. Seems the Packers always do that to us. But we held the score down.

Offense looked MUCH better - same plays but called in the right order. Staying ahead of the chains. Making first downs. None of these 2nd and 12 we've been living through recently.

Caleb showed some good leadership out there, and once again did not throw any interceptions. There was one risky pass.

Then, with a high probability of winning at the end, with the outcome of the game solely in our own control, and PRECISELY when the play calling switched from Brown to Eberflus we got scared and over cautious. We could have run another play and had a shorter kick at the end, one with a higher trajectory. Even 4 more yards from Roschon would have put that kick above the Packers' hands.

This is the offensive version of the too early prevent defense.

.The team won this game and then Eberflus lost it all by himself.

What we learned:

Flus has to has to has to be fired at the end of the season

Braxton Jones cannot stop a bull rush. He cannot be our starter at LOT next year.

Caleb has what it takes, and with a little more time will be fine.

Waldron was really really bad.

We seriously need more help on the DLine.

We are still on schedule for next year. It's not fun or pretty, but the problems are in sharp focus now, and the important questions are getting answered.

Yeah, I knew it was blocked, but it looked like a low kick, which I'd put on Santos. The blocking also might have hosed up too, I'm not sure. Either way, it's yet again another example of poor late game execution in critical moments.

Why run the clock down, it was 2nd down with 30+ secs left. Run at least another play before kicking. Another Flus flub. Worst Coach in Bears history but let's keep running him out there.

You can pinpoint the exact second the playcalling went from Brown to Eberflus, and that is the exact moment all momentum changed, we got scared and came up an inch short.

If Caleb is your guy, then dont take the ball out of his hands at the end with overly safe prevent offense.

Doenst meant he has to throw, but let the offense run.

Oh as I was watching the attempt on TV I told myself the Puckers are going to win, I've seen it too many times.

The only thing that matters the rest of this season is how the quarterback looks. Thomas Brown was excellent today. If Caleb continues to look like he did today against this type of competition the rest of the season, the Bears should absolutely give Brown a hard look at HC in the off-season.

I completely agree with the first half of this statement. If we develop Caleb, then this season was a success.

I'm not against Brown getting a look, but he shouldnt get any extra consideration for being in house. Youd have to think he would be better than Johnson, Kingsbury, Kubiak and a few other names.
