I'm not clear on why coaching gets more of the blame than, say, the QB with possibly the worst fourth quarter stats in the league.
I haven't seen it is as much here, but in other bears fans spaces there's this weird belief that the team is "too conservative" when playing with leads or in tie games late.
I have no idea what that's based on. If anything we've been too aggressive. We run the ball a lot with the lead, but no more than every other team. We've been extremely aggressive when going for it on fourth downs to the point we passed on a go-ahead fourth quarter field goal. The defense has been burned on blitzes late more than anything else, we rarely run a full 8 man coverage
