Matt Eberflus is an idiot, and if any play sums up his disastrous tenure as head coach of the Chicago Bears, it's this one right here
In week 4 of the 2023 NFL season, with the Bears facing 4th and 1 in a tie game against the Denver Broncos with under 3 minutes left, for some reason, Eberflus decides not to take the guaranteed lead, and instead, proceeds to do everything wrong

I saw Eberflus' post-game comments briefly on the NFL on Fox Post-game show after the Cowboys/Patriots game, and I saw the headline they showed about them going for it on 4th and 1 and I thought to myself: "Something dumb must have happened. JaguarGator9 will be uploading tomorrow morning about this I'd bet." I'm glad my instinct was better than that of an NFL Head Coach!

@jonandrews4066 Год назад

I actually am okay with the decision to go for it here. Had they picked up the first down, they could have just ran the clock out, kicked the field goal, and won the game. He knew his defense was going to at least allow Denver to get into field goal range, so he tried to win it there. Now the playcall itself was awful. Handoff out of the shotgun when only need one yard is indefensible.

Not only was this a dumb decision overall, but the play call was atrocious as well. I mean why are you calling a running play out of the shotgun with one yard to go, forcing the RB to have to go a longer distance to get to the line? Just put everybody near the line to give the back a better chance. Plus you have probably the best running QB in the league who is more than capable of sneaking and getting a yard. I feel bad for the Bears fans who have to watch this s***show every week.

@effend446 Год назад

Actually, I don't mind the decision to go for it on 4th down. The problem I had was the play that was called/run. Fields could've easily run it himself with a bootleg/option that could've resulted in an easy conversion or even a touchdown. Worst case scenario, the Bears attempt the field goal, BUT the Broncos block the kick and return it all the way for a touchdown. Furthermore, the game shouldn't have even come down to this moment, anyway. The Bears' defense lost this game. Blew a 21-point lead and couldn't make the big stop when they HAD to. And that's why they tried to go for it because by that point, Eberflus had no faith in his defense.

@johnbradbury8610 Год назад

The worst part is that had Eberflus not even called a TO when Denvers already suspect defense was on its heals and just let Fields plow forward from under center with a QB sneak the Bears probably get that first down easily. How do these million dollar coaches always have ZERO guage for game momentum? The Bears could have hired Jim Harbaugh and should have hired Jim Harbaugh and still should hire Jim Harbaugh. Instead the McCaskeys handcuffed the fanbase to another 4 years of nickel and dime bargain bin coaching.

Eberflus deserves to be fired but he may have some insurance since he is calling the defensive plays. Defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned earlier in the season.

@johnobrien1759 Год назад

As someone who actually watched this, this was not a bad decision. Our defense was not going to make a stop. It was better if we try to get the 1 yard, kill the clock, then kick a field goal. Our bigger problem is that our defensive coach can’t get one defensive stop.

@chrsmcgrry1996 Год назад

@xxxllloorpoopypants3687 Год назад

@Koopstrooper Год назад

I don't personally think this one was a dumb decision. Sure, it obviously looks bad because they didn't convert on 4th down, and the actual play call was a dumb decision, but I'm fine with the concept of going for it there. Here's my thought process. Sure, the Broncos punted on 4 of their last 6 drives. But that's kind of a misleading statistic. On their last two drives against the Bears, the Broncos scored a touchdown. With that in mind, it's probable that the Broncos, given the ball back, would score points. When you said there was only two possibilities of going for it on 4th down and they both give the Broncos the ball back with about 1:15 left, that doesn't consider the possibility of the Bears getting another first down and eating up more clock. In a hypothetical situation where the play worked, if I was the head coach, I wouldn't try to get a touchdown. I'd just try to get the first down by running the ball to make it so the Broncos don't have time. Over the course of the game, they were running the ball really well. There's a very real chance of winning the game without giving the ball back if that 4th down conversion worked. Kicking the field goal is definitely the safer play there but I didn't trust the Bears defense to make a stop and I think going for it was fine. Eberflus is still an idiot with how it was managed and the play call, though.

@xandersthoughts Год назад

Josh McDaniels: doesn’t trust his offense, goes for a field goal down by 8. Matt Eberfleus: doesn’t trust his kicker for a moderate shot, goes for a 1st down with little time left. This is already a banner year for Dumb Decisions.

@DevilKillerJCS Год назад

@LegendaryDorkKnight Год назад

Going for it on 4th & 1 in field goal range in a TIED GAME with less than 3 minutes left was already dumb. And then just when I thought it was peak stupidity, they lined up in shotgun formation instead of directly under center. "That's it. That's as dumb as it gets, right?" That's what I thought, then they called what could have been a read option play that had a legit chance of picking up the first down on the right side if Justin Fields kept it (because the Broncos kinda suck at everything) and instead tried to run it up the gut. That's when I said out loud. "Ah, so that's why they're 0-3..."

"Going for it on 4th & 1 in field goal range in a TIED GAME with less than 3 minutes left was already dumb." Absolutely disagree with you and JG9 there. Taking the points sets up an unstoppable Broncos offense for a touchdown, where they will give you no time to respond.

@chriskay1449 Год назад

That was not in any way a "guaranteed 3 points". That kick could easily be missed. That said, I understand the reasoning. You get one yard you can basically run the clock down and then kick the FG or score a TD. After all, their defense was terrible in then 2nd half and gave up 21 points. It is a major assumption to assume the Bears will stop the Broncos from scoring.. Hell they proved it by giving up the game winning FG. Also, any capable offense should be able to pick up one yard. Since they were already 0-3, you might as well gamble. People think you suck and expect yo to lose, so it was house money to them. Finally,. if they had made the first you and everyone else would be calling him a genius and this video wouldn't exist, so the only reason it is being called dumb is because it didn't work. I will not call this a sumb decision because this team is so bada you cannot assume they will make the FG, or even make the stop on defense if you don't make the first.

@arthurtaylor2593 Год назад

I think this makes more sense if both teams are 3-0 and fighting for a division lead. Any time you can have a chance to win the game and leave your opponent no time left on the clock, it sounds like a bold move, and you look like a genius if it works. But, this is the Bears. They were 0-3. They NEEDED a win. And kicking the field goal was their best chance, not going for it. This was ridiculously stupid. If they get the first, best case scenario is actually that they win the game without giving the ball back, because they only needed the 17 for the first. They could have moved the ball again, made the Broncos use their last time out, gotten to the other side of the 2-minute warning, and kept running out the clock before a last second near-goal-line field goal try. That is probably what they were ultimately hoping for. But, again... not at all what happened. Sad. And just plain dumb.

Bad as the decision was (and it was pretty bad). The thing that is really crushing Chicago is bad play design. The 4th and 1 play was terrible, but the play-action that led to the strip sack was a worse design. It let both edges go (no one out wide, no blocking either) and kept Fields right in the middle. If you design a play where the QBs best play is to drop into the fetal position, you shouldn't be coaching in the NFL. I still wish Fields has just ate it.

Maybe this is the Eagles fan in me talking, but I would defend the decision to go for it. You’ve got a good chance of converting on 4th and 1 and then having a chance to get 7 instead of 3 and burning clock in the process. If it were on the other side of the 2 I’d say this was dumb, but with more than 2:00 remaining the Broncos have plenty of time to go down the field and possibly take the lead with little to no time left. Why not play the percentages? With that said, I agree that the play call itself was horrible.

Their few good seasons in the past two decades have been in spite of ownership and management, not because of them.

Not gonna happen. Bears don't fire coaches during the season. Bears need that dumb coach. They have a first pick to play for and could have top two picks of draft. They are not fkn that up.

Honestly, with the skills that Fields is supposed to have I would not have been surprised if the Bears had the same look but ran a fake handoff and rolled Fields out and had him run for the first. But this is Eberflus here. He's gonna find a way to suck.

As a Bears fan, why should I believe the Bears will get it right with the next head coach and OC? I hope I'm wrong, but history says otherwise.

A dumb decision I think you should tackle is Rob Rivera not going for 2 at the end of regulation for the win instead The Commanders choose overtime and lost.

A large blown lead was inevitable in this tank bowl since Matty Ice was on the call for this one.

This is "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" play calling.

IMO, what makes this stupid is if you're going to call a play, why not go under center and QB sneak it on 4th and 1?

The Broncos wouldn’t have to drive “the length of the field” to kick a field goal. That doesn’t make sense.

@wesleybullette5966 Год назад

I agree it was a dumb decision but the worst that could happen with kicking the field goal is not taking the lead the worst is the kick getting blocked picked up and ran back for a TD thats the worst but I still would have kicked it

@alanpeel1981 Год назад

The decision to go for it isn't the dumb decision. The play call is. Why run up the gut out of shotgun when everyone knows you only need one yard to get the first down?

As a bears fan since a child, by conditioning, the entire ORG needs to be canceled and fired , we need a mean mf running the ship from top to bottom, and get an all new team with players that wanna be there. Yes it's hard to wanna play for such a shit team lmao everyone go there to die
