So Nagy already has been fired and hes gonna coach why? Just cuz it's a short week? That's not a good enough reason. I find the odd part to be the Bears firing a coach mid season

2021 Detroit Lions: 1-15-1

this is the end, beautiful friend

you're right on the 17-14 score, a FG ties it at the end. But I think its clear his first inclination was to kick the PA, didn't he run the PA group out there before calling the TO? Just keep the plan as is and kick it. And your point of a dozen different forks on the call sheet, I realize Lamar was a late scratch, but Nagy should have had Huntley factored into that equation at that point. The D was battering him all game, you have to bet against him getting the 2 pt even it Vildor looks like Grabby Mcgrabberpants all 2nd half Well the 2 is only partially consequential as you still need time to run a play if/when Balt scores. But all decisions should at least work on concert. For example, I might as well play super agressive and dare them to burn me on a broken coverage or whatever. If they're gonna score, might as well preserve time with a quick score. The main goal is still stopping any score . Not sure what coverage they ended up doing, and they did leave themselves some time, but they had very little hand in that as Harbaugh actually called TO after the big completion (correctly, I would add). They didn't leave any of their own destiny in possibly controlling a last possession. oh, i agree

I get the complaint but I also think the Bears ran way too much early on based on the opponent they are playing. Monty was playing well and we didn't need more running. I believe I also saw Herbert running back kicks as well. I still can't believe we played the worst pass D in the league (by yardage allowed) and Fields threw 7 passes in the first half. Yes there were at least 3 RPO's called (all runs) and yes he got sacked 1-2 more times on drop backs but still way too many called run plays, particularly on 1st down. I think every first down except 1 in the first half was a run. I don't mean just getting him the ball in the run game. You had 1 1/2 capable WRs, throw the ball to the backs out of the backfield. Do something to get the ball in playmakers hands. Not just yesterday, but in general. Kmet only had 1 touch too. And I didn't/don't mean to make a big deal out of it, but it's another one of those Nagy things that makes him a terrible coach. It's the same way he couldn't figure out how to get Mike Davis the ball when he only had a then mediocre rookie, Montgomery running the ball. It's nitpicky, but just another "guy is over his head" example for me. i honestly thought the whole reason for hiring Nagy was going to be his creative and innovative use of personal, not the constant churn of "not having the right guys on offense to fit the scheme" we've ended up with

Well if the Bears kick for one and Balt scores and goes 2, a subsequent FG unfortunately only ties it. But that's where revising odds on personnel comes in. If it was Lamar Jackson, you're prob giving them pretty good odds on a potential go for 2. With Huntley, it'd presumably be a lot lower. So there may be a perfect storm of two bad offenses (without Jackson), but still two leaky/vulnerable secondaries and two good to great kickers that I could at least entertain the 1 instead of 2 argument. Higher quick score odds, really strong PAT kick odds, weak 2 pt odds on both sides, etc. Or just keep the rule application simple. And the simple application is go for 2. You maybe don't have time to Calc a half a dozen different forks on a preset call sheet. Don't burn a TO for it. you're right on the 17-14 score, a FG ties it at the end. But I think its clear his first inclination was to kick the PA, didn't he run the PA group out there before calling the TO? Just keep the plan as is and kick it.

I see. I agree losing the TO was terrible, and as others had stated no having (or sticking to) a predetermination on going for 1 or 2 prior to even scoring the TD was a mistake on Nagy's part, regardless of the penalty. I would have kicked the PA, it would be more likely to make and puts the onus on Baltimore to 1) score a TD and 2) decide for themselves whether or not to kick the PA or 2pt. If they had scored quickly, and gon after the 2 pt, the Bears would JUST need a FG to win, and that scenario with 22 seconds left, while not ideal, is certainly more believably with a TO then w/o the TO

can Herbert catch? if he can, why not use him out of the backfield to run routes?

Ok I found the quote. Look at this jibberish. The more he talks in this answer the dumber he sounds 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. https://rbsdm.com/stats/fourth_calculator/ Also pfr's win probability can be played with to test different win probabilities at 4, 5, and 6 points. http://pfref.com/tiny/7jrHB help me with this, is this saying that either with the penalty or not, the 2 pt try was the correct decision and he should not have taken the TO. but tried for the 2 pts from the typical spot? I would have probably just kicked the PA and held the TO. Sure, its 5 pt lead as opposed to a 6 pt lead, it still means the other team has to score a TD and if they do, wouldnt they just kick the PA and win by 1 anyway?

Jersey assured us of #secretextentions tho

Ouch

Fire Nagy...he cannot keep this team focused

Omaha there are options He said cities, sir. It's larger then people probably realize, and Nebraska is a strong football state. OK City would also be of that mold

Omaha Salt Lake City Portland Or Sacramento San Antonio there are options

will he be suspended or just a slap-on-the-wrist fine like Rodgers?

just dissolve the Packers

idk, he did his stupid drop kick and should have ran off the field, posturing and staring down the bench AFTER the drop kick was pretty pathetic for a nobody fill-in LB in the NFL. Great, you made a play that should have helped your team win the game...move on

#secretextensions

Idk, I think Nagy would need to show success in the playoffs this year to stick around, at the very least make the playoffs

This, I think Justin Fields will be just fine even under Nagys tutelage. He always was the most experienced, and talented option in the draft along with Lawrence, even a bad coach won't delay his ascent too badly

How many roughing calls did they ignore against Fields? I can see Fields getting better, his numbers were worse then last week, but leading the team back from oblivion was fantastic

I'm going to play "only my teams" and suggest Fields looks awesome tonight and we win 1) I have to pick my mother up at SeaTac, but her flight is very late because the first plane they had caught on fire after leaving Ohare, so they had to turn around and board a new one 2) I still have to leave early because the ferries are all screwed up because of Covid and worker strikes 3) Which means I won't get to watch the beginning middle or end of the game You're welcome for the reverse jinx the universe has played on me today

lol French revolution I miss him somedays

Socialists don't pay their debts. Man, I'll bet that dude went full tankie so damn hard. I doubt he's changed at all, still droning on about England's ruling family and how capitalists suck
