Poor coaching dooms Caleb Williams, Bears in loss vs. Colts 

My wife, who knows little to nothing about football even asked what stupid play calling was being made by the coaches!!

We need to stop thinking this O Line had anything to do with rushing yards in the last two years. Those rushing yards came more from Justin scrambling when the O Line could not pass protect.

All I know is next week we play McVay who is a top 3 coach in the NFL. I don’t care how injured and banged up LA is cause shit is bout to get ugly. 1-3 start would be horrible and the end of the year more than likely.

I've been hearing about the "final" shows from you guys and it's fuckn sad. Love the real insight you guys bring with no fluff. Are you guys doing another show ? If so, when and where ?

I'm glad you guys opened with the play calling. It was insane. Just insane. Waldron needs to adapt to his personnel and what the other team is doing. More stubborn play calling, prioritizing scheme over opportunity.

Love the PASSIONATE ANALYSIS you 3 👌👀🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Fire fluus and waldron

Waldron is worse than getsy.

Bears need to fire Fluss and Waldron

Should have went with Klint Kubiak

I like this Morgan guy. He knows what he is talking about

P.S. if this is last show. You all take care. Hope to see all 3 of you and Alex elsewhere. ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻

I hope you guys can find a way to keep this pod going. You guys are the best.

Ol boys club coaches. Can we be honest about what the ol boys clubs is?

Eye test : Waldron bad, Swift needs to stop dancing and start running FORWARD. gonna miss this show. Gonna miss Glynn stopping by.

Josh is absolutely right: the performance was “unacceptable”. And specifically as it pertains to the Offensive Coaching.

You can look at the 2pt conversion thing 2 ways. Kick the extra point then hold them to a field goal. Down by 7...not 8. Miss the 2 point conversion and they kick a field goal...now you need 8 points. It's not Madden 25! There was too much time left to worry about going for 2. I wanted the extra point myself.

It's fair to say Caleb has had a very underwhelming first 3 games to his career relative to outside expectations, but relative to himself, he has made noticeable improvements in every game this season, no thanks to this coaching staff. The 53 pass attempts is obviously too much, but I actually think this could potentially end up being a good thing in the long term. Every pass attempt is a new data point for Caleb. Trubisky and Fields weren't given the opportunity to throw this many times in a game, especially as rookies, and I think it hurt their development. As long as Caleb is able to use this experience to get better at recognizing hot reads, as not to get himself killed when teams blitz, I don't hate him throwing the ball a lot his rookie season. That being said, having no running game at all IS going to hurt the quarterback if they don't figure something out in a hurry. As a quick aside: we have to stop labeling every 4th quarter comeback attempt where an opponent is down double digits as "garbage time." The Bears were only down 2 scores with over 5 minutes left + 2 timeouts and the 2 minute warning. That's way too much time to sit back in prevent and allow the game to get needlessly tight in the final minutes. It was still very much a game that was well within reach for the Bears to take up until the defense couldn't get off the field in an obvious run situation.

Can’t believe there’s only 2 pods left. Going to miss you all greatly and hope to see you back talking bears soon

He definitely learned after the 1st pick. He was quitck and on time and accurate. The INT to Odunze was a PI all day. His arm was held down... total b.s. Strip sack was not on Caleb. Play calling was horrible at times.

Always a good excuse coming out of Chicago

“Getsy’s soul is still here” 😂😂😂

Play calling was TRASH, no doubt...I just find it interesting that Josh NEVER made these excuses for Justin

Hmmmm this sounds eerily familiar to when Justin Fields was here where in which he was always under duress and had to bail out to make a play

Thank You For Everything NBC Sports Chicago And I Will Always Be Your Biggest Fan

The elephant in the room is Eberflus. Drafting a #1 overall QB with a defensive minded coach is NEVER a winning formula. Plus, Eberflus is WAY TOO NICE to his players and treats them like friends, not players. You can't be a soft coach and win. Never happened.

Bears really need to stop this pattern of hot seat coaches/GMs drafting QBs. Obviously a tactic to extend their regime.

Enjoyed this postgame discussion. Conveyed all the frustrations and comical bullshit we have to continue suffering through until Poles has the courage to pull the plug. This is a train wreck and can be salvaged

Matt Eberflus is the problem. Poles keeping him is the problem.

This season is gonna be a learning process

Please find a way to keep this pod going under a new name or something. I love the way you guys debate and I always wished you guys would post consistently. Best of luck to you all.

Fire Ryan Poles for not firing Eberflus. Everyone should be gone after this year.

With like 6 min left in 3rd quarter the TV announcers said Caleb had already thrown 32 times. How is that helping a rookie QB? How did Waldron not see Roschon was getting 3-4 yards when he touched ball!! Waldron comes off as that kid who breaks his new toys right away. Fluss spent whole summer saying it hasta end in a kick. Apparently he lied.

Josh is the voice of this Bears fan. I've already moved my 10 win season prediction down to 5. New coaches next year, if they make it that long.

Y'all preaching though!! All Facts

My girlfriend who still confuses the Bears with the Cubs even noticed the play calling was trash. WTF is Walden doing? No wonder Pete Carroll changed Waldrons calls in Seattle. He noticed what we are currently seeing. Terrible, fucking embarrassing

Bear down. Even in a loss.

WTH is Glenn talking about? Caleb has 1 fumble in 3 games. Fields had 2-3 in 4 games last year.

I'm ex-Navy, and Coach Flux better damage control this slowly sinking ship in a hurry. Once the media sharks start calling Bears' coaches and organization out, well, hot seats appear larger in rear view and get hotter! SOMEBODY better take charge and change this failing culture.... FAST!

true but what you guys are saying makes perfect sense. will these coaches do that stuff

Glen hit the nail right on the head with his take. Play football!

I always thought the exhibition games were all about defining what kind of team you want to be. Not the Bears. I was unable to watch the Bears game, but I enjoyed watching Justin Fields lead the Steelers to a big victory. You give him an O-line, you give him a running game and he's the quarterback that many expected him to be. Meanwhile, Caleb Williams, with no O-line, no running game, is now the next Bears quarterback to experience a Justin Fields-like failure.

The endless cycle of being a bears fan unfortunately

I know a lot of people like tory but why draft a punter when you could have drafted a starting caliber center....which one is going to have the greater impact

All the bad running plays went to Swift. Johnson and Herbert are our guys.

Welcome to JF1 life as a Bear QB 😂😂😂😂

quarterbacks need 2-4 years of development time!! 4 years ago i said the exact same thing about sam darnold, i said sam darnold has a canon he throws a nice ball, he needs development time, everyone laughed at me, as for caleb he should be fully developed by 2027-28*. the whole league is now throwing these 22 yr old qbs on the field and they are just not ready

Is this podcast ending?? Someone please let me know

Why we think we can do wat the packers do?... we don't have the line they have ( they prioritize that) and we don't have the play caller

I get you don't want to fire coaches every 3 years or so, but at what point do we come to the conclusion Flus is not a HC?

Id put 90% of this loss on Poles. He has, in 3 years not seriously addressed the OL. Started with the def and DBs then lbs and the dl. now Wrs and the qb. This is bassakwards to how you build a team. No OL no O it's that simple. No coach can make this work. Coaches have issues also, but like the QB, if there was an OL that was top 15 instead of a top 5 def this would all look better

The Bears NEVER fire coaches during the season, were so screwed😭get rid of Shane Waldron, complete chaos.

I still think we should have kept fields

Welp. We still need another off-season focused on getting better in the trenches. We'll have Carolinas 2nd round pick plus our top 10 1st round pick( oh, We'll be 5-12). 1st two picks should be lineman.

... hindsight being 20/20...but how does having Joe Alt & Rome AND an extra pick look now

Interesting how with CW...its "poor coaching". With last QB....it was all his fault. 🤔

Yea, garbage coaching=losing team, which Chicago should get comfortable with. Sorry being on a losing team that has never found a good GM, Coaches, and front office is like holding your breath for air when you're a mile under water.

Why do my bears always have bad coaches? friggin det figured it outfie Christ sakes

The offensive line is totally out of shape!! No time in the weight room! No accountability whatever!! Does anyone lose there job?? Get benched??

The shanahans have shown for decades now, that you need a good offensive line, not a great running back. Put any explosive one-cut back behind a good line and you can run the ball... Obviously we just need a good o-line regardless...

Caleb will be the 3rd straight drafted bear qb who will be in a new scheme next yr... McVay gonna out coach em. I don't know who they can beat if the defense don't play perfect and score

I don't understand how Shrock isn't an OC. He's got all the answers.

They should have taken the money from Keenan Allen and signed a good veteran O lineman. Allen is great but is never healthy. Moore, Odunze and kmet would have been enough. We NEED a run game. That by itself would open everything up.

They didn’t reset the QB clock, they reset the whole team back to Fields’ first year. There’s no difference to be seen

I think Josh Schrock should be hired as the O.C. Obviously, he gets it and is laughing at the play calling too. Why can't the Bears, as an organization ever get the combination right on coaches and players. It just seems year after year, there is always a major disconnect between the players, coaching staff, and GM. Another side would be, once again, in my opinion, is that the Bears don't ever make a change in season, they always let the ship sink clear to the bottom of the ocean before they start bailing out the boat.

Wait! But RB are a dime a dozen 😁

I mean if we had an actual line those scrambles away from pressure would look a lot better

When you can't score from the 1 yard line you have SERIOUS issues. It was really sad

Until you get rid of Eberflus, you will never build a solid team in Chicago...

I wanna see Allen and Tyler Scott on the field this coming Sunday let’s win these next three games and go on the bye week

Bears fans all complaining about coaching. But the rookie QB can’t make many BIG PLAYS when needs and our run game was sent to Pittsburgh.

KUBIAK JOHNSON SLOWIK

I just feel like we’re easier on Caleb than we were on Fields as a fanbase. I love Caleb I want him to work but we have to accept that so far it def looks like we made the wrong choice

Can the BEARS hire PEYTON MANNING as Team Advisor for each game.? Better yet hire him as Team President 👍👀

Hows a 12 point game with 5 and a half mins left considered "Garbage Time"?

You can't bring this head coach back for another year. Justin Fields bailed him out out last year by running

Well another butchering of a qb by bears. Could we start spending our 1st round picks on building a real good oline. Then get the qb. Because the other way around doesnt work. And did anyone see the interview where brady talk d about throwing qbs, that are not completely taught all aspects of pro game, out there in first year? Watch it.

Only muddy pockets gang

Where were these excuses for Justin. Damn yall keep the same energy

I didn't see the encroachment on 4th-and-two-and--they're-giving-us-the-pill mentioned, either. You're NOT blocking that, or trying to. They are GIVING you the ball. And you get sucked into a 5-yd penalty that let's them keep it. *Huge* coaching mistake. No unconcussed player gets suckered across the line there. But poorly coached ones, apparently. I know players have required physicals. How about IQ tests? But that is really sucky coaching. The coaching on that play is simple: You DO NOT cross the line until you see the snap in the air. You don't "anticipate". You don't get deked like a sophomore walk-on. Period. Over and out.

they don’t have a competent head coach, this on poles nobody wanted the flus back but him and the o line is on him also i hate how he just getting by

Hire Cliff Kingsbury as the HC in the offseason.

They are acting like Caleb is a veteran QB. The players can execute the plays even if they are bad plays. They aren't running good plays correctly. Caleb is fine the rest of yall i don't know about.

Eberflus needs to get out the offensive meeting until when he needs they're game plan at the end of the week. Lets the coaches coach, we know you the head coach, but you stiffling our offensive game plan. This is like Ditka and Buddy Ryan, but flus is a horrible head coach.

Guys the rest of the North looks strong. Bears better Knuckle up cuz it gonna get harder

1-17 season here we go!!!…….firing coaches again…

Fire them all! We need leader and teachers of the game. Not these fools

Colts had a duh moment. The Bears coaching is the duh and doubling down on the duh. What were they doing i the off season, installing fence instead of the new offense. Flus' new look can NOT mask the fact that he is still an over glorified DC. The HC responsibility seems to overwhelm him too much specially in crucial situation. The OC seems like what the Seahawks fans says he is, and stop with the "he came from the sweat of McVay balls coaching tree" because he looks closer to Getsy's love handles. This all starts with Poles who had the chance to break the cycle and hire the right HC who can then hire the right OC and so on. I've seen this movie before, Flus will waste 1 year of QB1, then they all get fired just to get a new coach that is more than likely tasked with fixing a QB he did not draft. Welcom to Chicago FOOSBALL.

It wasn't garbage time. They had a chance. Stop with the garbage time shit. WTF...your professionals! 40-20 is garbage time with 2 minutes left.

Make excuses for CW the miracle boy😅😅

Fire Shane Waldo!! Waldren who cares fire 🔥 him asap!!

Caleb is clearly talented , like Richardson. Colts understand what this season will be , Bears where sold on the fact that Caleb is closer to CJ than he was to Richardson but in reality we are in the same boat as the colts but we are in denial

MCaskey Curse. Bad offensive coaching. Bad Offensive OCs. Same old same old....

Fire Flus,

Swift is garbage...he's a good piece as a gadget back.

JD>MW>JF>CW

Eberflus and Waldron are not it!!!

Once again the Bears are a joke !! Terrible coaches = Terrible system = Terrible owners = Terrible season = Here we go again !!!!!!!

Why on Earth did the Bears not believe in David Montgomery when the scouting report while he was in college: As the game goes on he gets STRONGER and STRONGER. He spent 3 years here and displayed that and proved his WORTH👀

I keep telling fake Bear fans who are so emersered in past PTSD from past decades of futility. That this will take time. It's not a coincidence that Fields is looking good with legit coaching and direction. Klint Kubiak is a better off coach than this Shane Waldron. He turned us down, and we got the booby second prize as usual. smh
