Week 11: BEARS vs. Baltimore Ravens

[Cubfanintheknow]

Burn it down. Burn it all down. Start with Ted Phillips and go completely scorched Earth from there.

Think this will be a good loss going forward. Things would have been sketchy if they won and beat the Lions. Could have backed into that 8-9 playoff spot.

We’re going to be the Lions only win of the season

As bad as the Bears are, they are still far better than the Lions

lions play hard every week. Tied the Steelers and now lost by 3 to the Browns. Gonna be hard for the Bears to continue to hold their heads high as the season is spiraling away

Just checking in to see if Nagy is still head coach.

[UMFan83]

Nagy’s once sterling record as Bears coach is down to 31-29 (including playoffs). Do we have to wait for him to go below .500 to fire him?

 

[raw]

Don't know what more evidence is required to fire Nagy this very instance. Is there a more ineffective coach after a bye week than Nagy? I don't care they lost, in fact, its probably for the best they did but, the allowance of repeated late hits and cheap shots on Fields has to stop.

 

Something about the logo on the polo. Bears have lost 8 in a row after the bye. Nagy, Fox, Trestman (he did win the last post bye game though) all lost after the bye. Just like offense, it's not possible to do for the Bears organization.

[UMFan83]

Just listened to Nagy’s PC and wow he’s a bumbling idiot. His explanation for the timeout before the 2 point conversion was that there was all this celebrating going on plus he had to figure out what to do with the penalty etc.

 

What NFL coach doesn’t know if they are going to go for 2 if they score a late go ahead touchdown? Even if they don’t, who lets celebrating a touchdown and figuring out how to enforce a penalty distract them so much from the next play that they have to call a timeout?

 

Think about how many times you see a team score a late touchdown. When they pan over to the coach for his reaction you almost always see them holding up 1 or 2 fingers. Like 3 seconds after the TD is scored. But it trips up Nagy so much he wastes a valuable TO.

 

Dude is just in way over his head.

[UMFan83]

This doesn’t sound promising

Ok I found the quote. Look at this jibberish. The more he talks in this answer the dumber he sounds

 

“We’re at a point where you have the celebrations, you have the guys going back and forth,” he said. “And also knowing you’re up those four points where we were. You want to be able to make sure you have everything you need personnel-wise and going for it, etc. There was also the penalty. Do you move it half the distance, make it from the 1? Do you use it on a kickoff? So there was a lot of stuff going on at that point. So that’s why we used it, to be able to make it a six-point game.”

With the penalty and everything I actually think it's slightly more complicated than some are making it out to be, BUT the worse thing you can do is lose the TO. That's gonna swing the odds more than anything. Wasting a TO to get it right is foolish. Rather be slightly wrong with a TO in hand than lose a TO.

Also pfr's win probability can be played with to test different win probabilities at 4, 5, and 6 points.

2021: 5 game losing streak and counting

2020: 6 game losing streak

2019: 4 game losing streak

 

2019, the only reason it wasn’t a 6 game losing streak is because the football gods delivered us the Lions. Maybe the Lions can stop our streak @ 5 this year but then it’s AZ and GB, two auto-losses.

 

Nagy must go. We need an organizational reset before putting Fields out there to be killed again. Let Dalton fail and get slaughtered. It’s what we acquired him for in the first place.

I don't see any scenario where Nagy is the coach next year, unless you think 7 in a row to end the regular season and a playoff win are possible. And if you know in November your coach isn't going to be around next year....then cut bait now. I will say, they aren't going to fire him with a short week. And as bad as they are, they probably won't lose to Detroit. So, I think that AZ/GB stretch will do it. There's not much chance this Bears team keeps that GB game close, and with the coaching hire window opening earlier this year, this has gotta be the year a move is made before the season is over.

It’s the only explanation why they both aren’t already gone.

[BigbadB]

There is no point in keeping Nagy any longer. He's lost the locker room. An interim isn't going to be able to turn things around, but a message needs to be sent that you can no longer accept nonsense from the head coach. Oh, and this was my first Bears game as an Illinois resident in 25 years. It's good to be back.

Better not be true....or.....I don't know what but it better not be true.

 

I still think an explanation could be tried-and-true Bears leadership stuff like, you don't fire a HC mid-season... because you don't fire a HC mid-season.

[gflore34]

It's obvious a house cleaning such as the Bulls did is in order for the Bears. Hire a GM, who in turn will hire a HC, etc. and like the Bulls, they'll figure what pieces are worth keeping and build around them. I know the right hires are out there, just don't know if the McCaskey's are capable of identifying them.

I honestly don't think it means a whole lot.

 

2019- Mitch got hurt in the first series.

2020- Mitch was benched because he was bad, not because he was ill prepared. Foles did some great things, but he was allowed to sling the ball all over the field with a huge deficit

2021- Dalton got explosive play TDs on a screen pass and a blown coverage. Other than that he was 9-21 for like 90 yards.

One underrated thing that annoyed me yesterday.... Khalil Herbert had 1 touch. This is the dude that held the run game together for a few weeks while Montgomery was out. You have your top WR out, so short on weapons. Herbert is probably your 3rd or 4th best weapon yesterday (not including Fields himself).

Thats pretty low on my list considering everything. Considering game situation I think overall Run/pass split was fine and it's not like Montgomery wasn't having success.
