Bears Week 13 at Lions on Thanksgiving morning, 11:30 on CBS

[Tryptamine]

Bears are going to end up running 3 plays in the 1st quarter.

I’m not watching but following intermittently on my phone. Defense has completely given up right?

They're making a play here and there but the Lions are just better all over the field.

[UMFan83]

Knew this would be awful but it doesn’t make it any less aggravating. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Lions are just getting whatever they want in both the run and pass game

[Tryptamine]

The entire nation getting a perfect example of why defensive guru head coach should be gone 5 minutes after game ends. 

[Soul]

It’s the “we want a new HC” game.

 

Hopefully.

I'm not saying Eberflus doesn't deserve to be fired at this point. But there's so much more to the gap between these two teams than that.

Some of it's on Poles. Some of it's on where they are in the success cycle versus us.   But it all needs to be addressed.

The problems on defense all start with Poles' bizarre sense of positional priorities where he loads up on DBs and off-ball linebackers and then fills in his DL with his annual 2nd-rounder panic trade and some random scraps.

I'm more optimistic about the offense entirely because we have Caleb Williams, but it definitely needs some work.  Maybe we could have gotten some much-needed depth in the middle rounds instead of Poles' annual bizarre third round project or a mediocre punter in the fourth.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I love him as a receiver, but we should probably admit that Cole Kmet is a problem in blocking.

[Tryptamine]

I'm seriously not sure if the Bears run 10 plays in the 1st half.

I sincerely hope the defense gives up completely and starts giving up quick scores.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Credit where it's due, that's two straight very good punts from Taylor

[Tryptamine]

This defense is laughably terrible.

[jersey cubs fan]

We can put those Thomas Brown as head coach stories to bed 

[Tryptamine]

2nd and 25, they'll get it somehow

[Tryptamine]

Wow that was an incredibly weak roughing the passer

[Soul]

Has a coach ever been fired mid-game?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And this is only the first of two meetings.

I don’t know why we should settle for mediocrity just because he had two adequately professional offensive games.

Get the best offensive mind that’s available. That’s it.

Yeah. Ultimately will matter little in the outcome of the game but that was a really weak call

It’s an extremely Bears decision to make, not gonna lie. So that’s probably what’s gonna happen. 

[Derwood]

Offense is cooking

Spoiler

Cooking meth and smoking it to dull the pain

 

[Tryptamine]

9 plays, they'll maybe get the ball back with a couple minutes before half time. Even by Bear standards this is a completely collapse of a game.

[UMFan83]

More than midway through the 2nd quarter and the Bears don’t have a 1st down and Caleb is 2-6 for 6 yards, one a checkdown to the RB and the other a screen to Moore for no gain. 

For normal franchises this would be a coach killing game.  For Eberflus…the defense he was suppose to specialize in is getting torched and the QB he has entrusted to develop hasn’t gotten a 1st down. 6 losses in a row and this one looking like a complete blowout on national tv.

The Lions do this to a lot of teams. But that should show you how far we are from the top.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Two good sideline punts then Taylor went back to blastling low line drives over the middle that give his coverage team no chance.
