    Eberlus keeps referring to the defense cupping the ball, and I can’t tell if he’s serious or just trying to screw with the media to write about the defense cupping balls.

    “Justin sucks!” “No Bagent sucks!”

    Me: The whole franchise is dogshit.

    At least the Chargers allow their social media team to have fun

    I just can’t with our fanbase. I don’t know how you watch this game and fail to understand how important it is to get a top QB.

    The Chargers aren’t even a good team - but they have a very good QB and we don’t - so we got our ass kicked.

    Yes, it doesn’t help that our coaches are terrible - but Staley isn’t that much better. He’s the dipshit who played a key WR in a meaningless game before the playoffs last year and got him injured.

    If you put Herbert on the Bears and Fields/Bagent on the Chargers the Bears almost certainly win that game.

    2nd drive: Three short passes. Three and out.

    3rd drive: Short pass, short pass. Run, run. Short pass, short pass (intercepted).

    4th drive: Short pass attempt, run, short pass (Moore big gain), run, run, run, deep shot (Jones drops TD), short pass, short pass, run, short pass, short pass, Mooney scramble, TD run.

    5th drive: Run, short pass, short pass attempt. Punt.

    6th drive: Run, short pass, short pass, RB run on 4th and 1.

    7th drive: Short pass, run, short pass, run, short pass, run, short pass. Turnover on downs.

    8th drive: Deep shot attempt, short pass, run, short pass, short pass, short pass, run, short pass, short pass. (Intercepted).

    9th drive: Short pass, short pass, short pass, deep shot, short pass, short pass, run, run. TD.

    In total: 33 short passes called, 21 run calls, four deep shots.

      Remember they had several successful run plays that were negated with bad penalties. I hate to give excuses for this coaching staff, but with more yards to go you almost have to throw the ball more. Especially when you’re down by 3 scores so early in the game.

        In my opinion that’s even more of an indictment on the coaching staff, because the majority of their job is instilling fundamentals and ensuring the position coaches under them are meeting their expectations. It’s not a coincidence we have so many penalties, blown coverages and miscues every week. Top-Bottom the coaching staff is completely inept, they aren’t properly teaching good and sound foundational techniques and fundamental mindsets into these young players.

        I think at times the coaches do get more hate than they deserve, but that doesn’t mean the coaches are vindicated from responsibility in this mess. I know many are quick to say “well, they are only as good as the players they have to work with” but I think that’s just an excuse for average coaches when they don’t elevate others. Great coaches still find a way to get the most out of the roster they lead, and at the very least the ensure their guys aren’t in a position to beat themselves. You might lose, but it won’t be because you dropped the ball. There’s been tons of games in which I feel like we just beat ourselves, and there is no effort by the staff to implement changes or hold those who are undisciplined accountable. Flus and Getsy have no fire, and no confidence to lead a group of grown men correctly.

          Agreed.

          I don’t care about the playcalling complaints. That’s a meaningless fan bitching that every team gets when they lose.

          But the sloppy execution errors and constant penalties are a coaching issue.

          Can’t disagree with any of that. I still think the coaching staff needs to go. Just trying to justify the pass heavy play calling.

    QB isn’t the issue here. We need to stop the civil war at QB and address that things won’t change until we get the coaching staff right. Eberflus needs to go

    I’m 32 years old and I am fucking tired of watching the Chicago bears. Im fucking tired of this endless shit sandwich being forced down our throat year after year.

    I’m tired of having quarterbacks like Rex and Jay and Mitch…

    I’m tired of having a stupid fucking owner that flip flops because “oH GeEee! ThE OfFensive CoAch didnT work so nOw we HAVE tO hirE a DEFENSE GUY” every other fucking time.

    I’m tired of empty promises. Dated schemes. And the IDIOTS they bring in to coach WORLD CLASS athletes into the ground.

    I’m tired of watching fields GET IT for a second and then revert back to his old ways.

    I’m tired of hearing cris collinswoth slobber all over the opposing quarterbacks dick every prime time game.

    I’m tired of caring about this team- I’m tired of this imploding fanbase that had a CIVIL WAR over Tyson Bagent this week.

    I wish my favorite sport wasn’t football and my favorite team wasn’t the bears.

    God damn it. See you next week.

    I’ve never seen a coach throw a challenge flag at roughly the same time HIS team was scoring a touchdown. The chuckles from the announcers were quietly gigantic

        It was worse. We lost the ball too because it was a touch back fumble into the end zone. OH and it was against the packers ofc.

    Bagent should’ve had 3 TDs on his ledger tonight (Mooney on the first play, Kmet’s “forward progress being stopped”, and Old Man Velus doing Velus things.

    Trash coaching, trash officiating, trash defense. Wasn’t a whole lot to be excited about in this one. 2 top five draft picks incoming.

    I know there’s people here who hate Harbaugh as a coaching prospect, but his contract with Michigan got rescinded a few hours ago. Just putting it out there.

      Bears owners will never spend the money nor give him the control he wants. The Bears owners like to think they know how to run a football team. They don’t like coaches with large personalities who actually know what they are doing.

      His brand of coaching is desperately needed to give this team some direction and fire. Eberflus can talk til he’s blue in the face about HITS but every week this team and coaching staff look completely listless and lifeless. And he’s not Urban Meyer, he’s been here and won in the NFL before.

    Coaching staff needs to be wiped clean after this season. Not even a pro bowl team would have a winning record with these clowns in control
