Short week vs arguably the best team in the league and you drive your team down within FG range and the HC shits the bed again. 

The look on his face at the end shows how lost he is.  He just is not knowledgeable enough to be a HC.  Timeouts, challenges, going for it on some 4ths are all weaknesses that cost games.  The players are close but even if they had the best at every position, Flus would be the handicap.

Detroit had been shredding everyone and the Bears came back after halftime and outscored Detroit 20-7 with a chance to win, and they literally lose because of coaching. Flus has to go.

A team with a 6 game losing streak is usually a very bad team, but look who we're playing and how we're hanging. This a good team with a brain dead coach. We kind of fixed a OC problem and have injuries but we could have 4 more wins this yr with just lack of a stupid coach. Had we tied the game, who knowa if we would win but with Caleb, odds are falling to us.

Absolutely. Brain dead is an understatement. Once the qb got killed on what was an awful play (I don’t even know what the hell that play was), once they say things headed south - call your timeout and realize you are now playing for a shorter field goal. Reset for 3rd down play and now you either go sideline or middle field with a quick spike to end.


Caleb got killed on the previous play and guys were everywhere (Romo said it was a draw play - which it might have been, but Caleb looked like he was passing - yet no one blocked - it was awful).

It all started with 36 seconds left coming out of a penalty , Caleb was going to run a QB draw but the OTs didnt block before the release. Didnt have time.

Clocck runs to 30 seconds left/ they didnt lineup quicky(no urgency from the coaching staff), Caleb gets the ball with 12 seconds left. He holds the ball to throw down field.

1) coach should have called a TO

2) Patrick Manley said usually the ST coach is suppose to alert Flus they are running out of time. 

3) Caleb should  have thrown the ball out of bounds instead of holding to throw donw field. At the press conference Caleb said he thought he could hit Odunze at the 5 yard line. 

4) time run out. 

First responiblity is HC, secondly is the process with time running out, Caleb not being aware of time on clock.

Once Caleb saw the time, he changed the play to go for the win because there would not be enough time for another play. He also said it's not his place to call a timeout in that situation.

Caleb should learn from this too. A vet qb does better there - so it is a good learning lesson for Caleb too. 
 

I mean once you know it is the final play call the damn time out. Under all scenarios the stupidest was too literally leave a time out in your pocket.

for sure. I just dont know if theyve given him that responsibility yet? If they havent, as a rookie, he did the right thing. Eberflus could have called it at any moment there.

1000 percent Flus is most singular at fault there. 

and at some point Caleb will take leadership to do the right thing even if it breaks someones rule. So I agree with you about that too.
