Game Thread: Bears 4-2 @ Washington 5-2

giving up 15 yds the previous play was the nutbuster.

According to our stellar head coach that play was meaningless

I’m jealous of all these fans that actually like their team’s head coach. That’s the biggest thing I miss about Lovie. He wasn’t great, but I never was experiencing pure disgust like I am now. Quite the contrary.

Wannstedt/Jauron/Trestman/Nagy/Eberflus…All bums that would grind my gears on the regular.

I guess there was Fox too, but everyone knew he was just there as a stopgap while we reset. More indifferent about him than like/dislike.

But yeah, I want to actually like my coach again. Please let Poles just figure it out make the right move this offseason. That’s all I ask at this point.

Caleb is gonna be great and you'll likely have another coach, hopefully one you love (ahem Ben Johnson maybe)

Should Matt Eberflus be on the Hot Seat? - Bleacher Nation

Matt Eberflus' Bears teams have often come up short when the lights get brighter. Can that get corrected?

Key excerpts:

Despite having an extra week to get ready coming off a bye, the Bears looked unprepared. Chicago started slow, committed several pre-snap penalties, and looked unorganized offensively through the first three quarters of the game. Obviously, we all know what went down in the fourth quarter.

Bad coaching decisions happen, I get it. However, when the players only start to take notice and openly question some of the coaching, that’s when I think we have a tipping point.

Jaylon Johnson on his weekly hit on 670 The Score said he wished the Bears took a timeout in the final sequence and called the situation “rushed.” Kevin Byard said he would liked to cover the play before the Hail Mary differently. Cole Kmet essentially said that practice needs to be taken more seriously and “respected” more.

THREE CAPTAINS openly questioning the coaching is eye-opening.
