That’s somewhat on Caleb, but Eberflus you are so gone

Yes Caleb didn’t help at all there but that’s on the coach

Calling timeout would be awful there. Then you're facing a must-sideline throw just to try to get a long field goal.  

If you wanna blame the coaching, blame them for not having the team ready to execute a quicker play.

Yes, much more awful than having the clock run out 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We'll need a whole post-mortem analyzing that play.  Williams kept signalling for them to hurry and then some of the receivers started making adjustments so they couldn't snap

Honestly don’t know what to think.  Just numb.

who cares, the coach can also call a  to

 

[Tryptamine]

If Eberflus is the coach for the next game, then no Bear coach will ever be fired mid-season.

Holy horsefeathers we are embarrassing

When do you want him calling that timeout?  With 10 seconds left after they've already wasted 21 seconds?  Then when they throw an incomplete pass and Santos can't hit from 55 or whatever it was, you'd say "Well, eberflus made the right call on that timeout"?

he could have called a TO at anytime after the the last play ended, its not that hard to understand

 

[SpongeWorthy]

kmet is making out like a bandit right now because no one will talk about how amazingly dumb those pick play OPIs are

[minnesotacubsfan]

they had 30 seconds and they let it wind out

So you want him calling his last timeout with 30 seconds left on 3rd and 27?

[BigSlick]

I feel so blissfully vindicated for not watching this game

You're right, letting time run out was better

You missed our franchise QB lighting up a defense for 3 TDs that hadn't given up any second half points in like a month

[Soul]

Even my wife is sitting here saying it’s on Eberflus.  It’s his job to call TO..

And now it’s on Poles to recognize the unacceptability of it and fire him.

from that point until there were maybe 15 seconds left, YES THAT WAS THE TIME TO CALL A TO

[Derwood]

Can't wait to see what first-time coach they hire next year

F- moral victories

 

 

[jersey cubs fan]

It’s quite simple 

 

you have 30 seconds to save your season/job. You have a timeout. You call a TO and have 2 plays ready and let it rip. You don’t end that game with TO in your pocket. 

[Wilson A2000]

Once the clock got to 10-15 seconds, a TO had to be called. You get the first and then have enough time to spike the ball for a FG if you get tackled in bounds.

And if the clock gets under 5 seconds, you call a TO to regroup and call a final play.

Yes 

Then you're just wrong.

Things that you can blame on coaching in the closing minute:

1) Kmet running the exact same pick that got him called before
2) Whatever that weird QB draw where nobody blocked was
3) The offense being slow to get back to the line
4) The receivers making adjustments so we can't snap with 10 seconds left

But calling the timeout at any point between 36 seconds and that play being snapped was objectively the wrong call.

I was told coaching doesn't matter
