With 32 seconds left and a time out, all Matt Eberflus needed to do was run another play for 2 yards and that kick goes over the cross bar, every Eberflus decision is play not to lose which eventually leads to losing, Eberflus is not a winner, he's made that clear with his decision making.

Eberflus knows Cairo kicks a low ball, yet with 32 seconds and a time out he is content to let him kick from that distance instead of using that time in which he could have possibly gotten a couple of plays off, and who knows maybe even get a touchdown. At the very least, they could have been closer, made the kick easier, and not have to have everyone on the line be perfect in order to get the field goal they needed to win this very winnable game. Fire Eberflus now. There is nothing more to prove.

Burrow for the Bengals already had 5 TD passes on the day.

Needless to say, the Bengals missed the long FG attempt and lost the game.

@ what’s wrong? It’s a fact that they broke a rule. It didn’t get called, happens all the time. But leverage is a rule and they of course got aways with it. So please tell me what was “wrong”
We have a coach that plays not to lose folks, instead of playing to win. That ending made no sense. He might as well have told his players I have no faith in you to pick up a few more yards without turning the ball over or giving up a sack.
The oldest rivalry deserves two great teams. We've only got Green Bay fitting that bill today. Give us a new coach and another year....maybe a new GM and owner too while I asking for it.🙂
So why did the Bears sent the video to the NFL saying that D interfered with the ball snapper. There’s nothing wrong with the Packers D blocking the kick.
During his post-game press conference Lafleur said that Bisaccia told him yesterday he would be surprised if they didn't get at least one block of a FG or PAT.
Here's an alternative view on the Bears not trying to get a few more yards closer for the field goal: The Bears find ways to lose. That losing play doesn't have to be the LAST one. It could easily be the second-to-last. Is anyone else going to admit they were kind of OK with them not taking the chance to fumble or otherwise screw up their shot at the field goal? Especially with Santos being so good? I'm talking about how you felt WHILE they were playing. Had the Bears tried for more yards and fumbled, I wonder how many people would now be SCREAMING, "why didn't you just take the field goal, you idiot?!!" With his entire coaching career on the line, I can kind of understand Eberflus getting nervous and going conservative on that play (regardless of what the stats books tell you to do). You could cut the pressure he was under with a knife. Blame the coaching or the players (or both) for the blocked kick, but any way you slice it, it's a pretty rare event.
Ngl just watching I knew the Bears were gonna mess it up once we got close enough. Caleb hasn't thrown an int in a while and we still had a time out. I was thinking we should just give em one more passing play but oh well
@@misterrobert6799 Actually, yes. I think Hail Marys working are even more rare. These plays had catastrophic results, but I don't see either of them as being the result of hideously incompetent coaching mistakes. Everyone wanting Eberflus to be fired is understandable, but not because of these plays, and not because of this game. When people talk about a team not being able to "finish", to me, you need to be looking at bare minimum of a series of downs, if not the whole final drive, if not more. The best coaches in the league can make mistakes on ONE PLAY. If it's not a BLATANTLY stupid call, you have to start adding up all the other things.
Ever notice that kickers sail close kicks? The ball goes way up almost to the top of the uprights. They do this precisely so this doesn't happen. On long kicks they don't have that luxury and have to kick a lower angled trajectory. Also 46 yards is not a gimme, a 30-35 yarder has a much better %. I've seen some defending Eberflus's decision here. No it was a horrible call that shows only one of two very bad things, A he has no understanding of even simple football concepts, or B he has zero faith in his rookie QB and offense. Williams just diced up GB defense on that drive, yet with 32 seconds and a timeout he thought the risk of an INT, bad sack or fumble outweighed the dangers of an outdoor 46 yard FG. Edit: BTW I'm a Packers fan, so I'm rooting for you guys to keep Eberflus, the guy is our MVP every time we play you.
From a die hard Packer fan. Just give Williams some time and you guys are going to have a star QB. Plus he didn't have anyone to learn from the way Love got to learn by watching Rodgers. Bottom line.....Be patient!
The best the Bears can hope for over the entire course of Caleb's rookie contract is to make the playoffs as a wild card with the Lions, Packers, & Vikings in the division. All 3 of them are infinitely better right now & their rosters are younger. It's not getting any better for the Bears any time soon.....might as well not get their hopes up. In fact, I will go so far as to say that Caleb will never win the NFC North as QB of the Chicago Bears. I know that is a bold take, but I fully believe it & I feel pretty good about it coming true.
he will be given zero time, start with all new coaches next year (hope it works), when that fails, new coach after that but he wants his own qb that he drafted. rinse and repeat.

Idk about all time…but it’s just gotta hurt each game day as a bears fan. CW did look better but that’s against a GB defense that’s not very good. I’d be afraid if I was him having to face the Lions with no o-line.
Yes because the Bears offense never loses yards or gets penalized. Holy shit lmao. If we got sacked or had a false start you would all be screaming just KICK THE BALL.
Remember when the rule regarding not being able to hit the long snapper until his head and hands are up used to be enforced. The long snapper, BY RULE, is considered unprotected until his head is up.
(DEFENSELESS POSTURE) The offensive player who attempts a snap during any scrimmage kick. He is no longer a defenseless player after he has had an opportunity to defend himself or moves downfield. All i have seen is the kick from behind Cairo and these still frames. Did Daily ever move downfield or have an opportunity to defend himself? To me it looked like his head was still down and he never moved downfield when he gets knocked back
@gordons-alive4940 You can look it up in the rulebook. If you have questions about the rule, look up the rule. That's what I did. Why take my word for it?
4-7 Means fire Eberflus now because 1. he won't be here next year 2. You can develop your new staff for next year (the rest of the year) with Eberflus out the way. 3. He can never win the North (like he promised) Because he won't be here next year. 4. Caleb can develop better now by getting rid of Eberflus because if you know he not going to be here next year you can get ahead of next year and turn thing around now instead of wait till next year, to fire flus. Only fire Eberflus.
I found out a sneaky problem with field goal kicks, using what I know about high-school geometry. It is all about angle launch, depending on how far the field goal try is---the apex, and the final distance to avoid those scary "doinks" for a successful FG. After doing all of my own analysis on the botched field goal due to that Packers block......... Because it was 46 yards, Cairo Santos had no choice but to do a "no-win scenario" type of game winning field goal attempt. Hobson's choice here, because.... 1. He would have to kick low to allow for more momentum, more speed, and more cutback on conservation of energy that could make the field goal end up too short - 40 yards or less, which means the kick would be "no good", and.... 2. This was a HIGH-RISK field goal, because since Cairo HAD to kick it low, a line-drive kick--there is a much higher risk of the kick being BLOCKED. The kick was a line-driver and low as I knew it, and when I heard the defensive kick-blocking "thump" 0.1 seconds later--I KNEW THE FG WOULD NOT BE GOOD! BEARS LOSE AND IT IS ALL OVER! :( :( If I were the offensive coordinator of Special Teams for the Chicago Bears, I would come up with this less-risky play for this FG attempt.....to win the game for the team. Instead of a straight-up FG....I would do...... A FAKE FG ATTEMPT. Here is how I will do it..... 1. A right edge end for special teams will be the wide receiver. 2. Cairo will act like the QB, and the snapper will instead snap to Cairo instead of the kick holder, so I need to modify the deep area from the line of scrimmage to do that. Tweak that to get that surprise snap. 3. So when this happens, Cairo will be in kick position as usual, and when the snap is happening, Cairo will make the catch, the R edge end goes downfield for the 'post route' towards the end zone and Cairo does a Hail Mary pass to that R edge end, and likely this R edge end will catch the ball unchallenged, fooling the defensive line, and this will lead to a Bears touchdown, and this will end the game with a Bears victory. This Fake FG attempt should work, and if this had work, I should work as a special teams offensive coordinator. Fakes are important in football--but you need to do "fakes" RIGHT! You do not want to telegraph the special teams defense on what you want to do.
What about every other game? Where he can't read a defense holds the ball wày to long and generally sucks.... Hes the worst QB in this draft class and it's not close bro nix is better drake maye is better Daniels is way better and Williams has the best situation and weapons out of them all the Packers play calling kept the bears in that game they call a better play on that 2 pt conversion and or kick that fg the drive before and the bears wouldn't have had a chance.... Williams isn't very good
The offensive line has the advantage of knowing the snap count. How the hell is the guard still in his stance with the ball already on its way to the kicker
Please tell me that the unsportsmanlike conduct the Bears were called for last week on a field goal attempt that gave The Patriots a first down was different from what happened on this play.
Caleb showed he could make clutch throws to put us in position to win AGAIN (In Washington he had to drive us down the field twice cause of Waldron's dumb goal line play call) but our weak coaching and infrastructure failed him AGAIN. Just FIRE EBERFLUS and let Thomas Brown run th team. He did have HC interviews in the off-season and since we're going to let go of Eberflus, might as well give him an extended look in this lost season to Jumpstart the coaching search.
Packer fan here. There clearly was some coaching and a nice play there by Brooks but Packers were lucky to get out of there with a W. You have yourself a QB. The throws after 3rd and 19 were masterful. You can’t buy that clutch performance - you either have that gear in you or you don’t. Respect. Bears fans have a lot to be happy and hopeful about. The rivalry is renewed. Go Pack Go!
To all those saying this is just criticizing the coach in hindsight, I would understand your point IF....IF this were the first or second or third time Matt Eberflus had lost a close game that came down to one play. But this is CHRONIC...that's all Eberflus does in one-play games is lose them. Call it bad luck if you want, but it's luck the Bears can't afford to keep on their coaching staff. The statistical probability that Eberflus would lose each and every one of the close games he's lost is mindboggling. If this were a movie, we wouldn't believe it.
The answer to this question: "What went wrong on the blocked field goal..." Is simple, Matt Eberflus. As it is in every game. The undeserved loyalty to 'Flus is killing the team.
I guarantee if the bears tried to pass in that last 30 seconds the receiver would have been wide open. The Packers were stacking the deck and we let them get away with it
Bears also got called for leverage penalty on a similar play vs Cardinals, after the defense had just made a stop to force a FG. Cardinals then went on to score a TD due to the penalty then ran away with the game. Football Gods have despised the Bears this year period.
EverLoss would manage to loose a coin toss by calling 'heads' on a coin known to have tails on both sides. He plays scared and makes bad decisions and has infected the team with it. In less than 2 seasons he's had 4 late game losses where the Bears had over a 90 pct chance to win, another late game loss with a lead, and now this.
One you realize the McCaskey's are pushing the buttons you'll understand why Flus is still here. Worst owners in the NFL- such a joke. Halas didn't want them taking control, and you can see why.
It’s not up to the Ryan if you guess haven’t noticed it up to the McCaskey’s that’s why it won’t happen because the gotta pay him and the new head coach
They would have to draft another QB by then bc either Williams will continue to suck or if he is decent they will have to pay him and it's to late anyway
A 43-yard field goal is statistically more likely to be successful than a 46-yard field at around a 3-5% increase in success rate. If you run another play to try to gain 3 yards, chances of a fumble are about 1%. Know your analytics before you coach an NFL team, or comment on UA-cam.
Why are Chicago fans so obsessed with them not running an extra play. There is a real mental issue that bears fans have. Matt Lafleur called a timeout at the 2 point conversion. When Flus did that- Chicago fans go absolutely crazy.
Karl brooks wreaked havoc last year in week 18 with 2 sacks. And a blocked kick this game. He was also selected 4 rounds later than Gervon Dexter. That’s the difference between the bears and packers
Exactly what did the coach do wrong? 46-yard FG should be made. Screw up, get a sack, miss hand off, Green Bay just had two sacks and a hit on the QB just before. It the o line.
I am a packers fan honestly I was shocked when they ran those 2 plays were they let Caleb hold on the ball for so long. They ended up getting a 1st after that but it put yall into a 3rd and 19, I was shocked at the play calling there too.
@@pflume1run the ball get as many yards as possible on the side the kicker wants the ball on hash. Bears had a time out to run the clock. Closer kick means no line drive
THATS NOT WHY DAMNIT-WE HAD 36 SECONDS TO GO AND ONE TIMEOUT AND OUR QB WAS ON FIRE. LETS GET TEN YARDS OR SO CLOSER TO THE DAMN ENDZONE-GREEN BAY WOULD HAVE
@@packers12to80 You're joking right? It's kicked low due to distance- closer kick is a higher trajectory. It's common sense but eberLOSE is the worst coach in Bears history.
They scored 20pts. About the Avg for this D. It's what they hired it to be. A Bend don't break Defense. O took a step I suppose. A W would of meant a lot to these players. Coaching is what they hired tho. 🤷🏻💯😳 You go get Belechick expect greatness. You go get Lincoln Riley expect a good team and Caleb to be very good. Watching Harbaugh work with Herbert just 💔😢. You hire Ben Johnson expect Nagy. Guy won Coach of the Year Year 1 people forget. Team wasn't coached or developed and fell off. Bill Belechick is available and has proven he can develop guys, Not draft them, but develop them. Vrabel will end up his DC. Bill O'Brien OC Josh McDaniels QB Coach LB coach Patricia and we keep Hoke as the DB coach. Staff is right there. All available.
All bears fans are also brainwashed talking about field goal field goal field goal the way our offense was clicking how about go for 6 in that last 30 seconds.
Stop! If the refs called by standard, the center / long snapper has his head down and they pushed him down. . The same play called against us. Yes, Pryor didn’t help, but if you even touch the center with his head down, that should’ve been a 15 yard penalty. That was leverage, doesn’t matter if it’s the guy who blocks it. How do they get the gap. Granted they didn’t block right, but come on. You guys are what, paid by the NFL for not calling it out and blocking out the obvious. Ok, it’s not obvious, it’s the same BS we got called for in Arizona, if not more blatant. Call it out!!! On air. Oh, but you’re too scared to mention it? The snappers head was down and they made contact. But if you can’t do that, tell Poles to fire Flus. I’m sure you see him in the halls, but you won’t t do that either. Please, don’t ever do a breakdown again on a final play. You are terrible at it. The guys head down and at different ( wide angles ) he is being touched already. Who told you to produce this garbage? Seriously? But you’ll delete my message first. Doesn’t matter either way. Our coach was too weak to try for a few more feet or inches, when he preaches every inch matters. But in Washington, did you call him out yet. Has anyone in Halas hall. You’re not in the cool club being there, you’re in the truth club. You feathered brained….. I’m using George’s preferred language.
25-30 seconds and a time out left, and the imcompetent coach doesn't try to gain some yards and make the FG easier. Firing that doofus would be a mercy firing. GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
This team is plain and simply full of losers!!! They earned this title by consistently finding ways to lose games they should win. It starts with atrocious coaching and trickles down to players who are incapable of making the simplest of plays at clutch moments. Unfortunately, they are in a state of no return regarding getting things right, which means it is time for almost a complete overhaul!!! AGAIN!!!
The Chicago Monsters will be everything the Bears aren’t: a team players want to play for, a team fans want to cheer for, and a team that wins. Backed by winners, led by winners, and treating players and fans with respect, the Monsters will be the cool team in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Bears are a disgrace-a team run by a 101-year-old woman who fired her own son for incompetence and handed control to George McCaskey, the epitome of awkward cowardice. George is "nice"? Let’s define nice. Is it selfishly clinging to a team while running it into the ground? Is it upsetting an entire city for decades with your incompetence? Nice is competence. Nice is responsibility. And George McCaskey is neither. I’ve met a lot of "nice" people who do nothing for anyone, and that’s the Bears in a nutshell-a "nice" organization that’s rotten to its core. Professional players have brands to protect, and the Bears tarnish those brands. Playing for them is a death sentence for your reputation. You don’t want to be branded as a loser by association. Do you think anyone wanted to play for Marge Schott’s Reds, knowing she was a racist piece of garbage? The Bears are no better. No top college player will want to go to a team run by a 101-year-old vampire bleeding the city dry, assisted by her bumbling Fredo. Sure, second-tier players might come for the paycheck, but the best? Caleb Williams has already inquired about a trade because he doesn't want to get killed behind the Bears’ nonexistent offensive line or become a laughingstock by association. Every Bears press conference, every interaction George has, reeks of weakness. Players smell it. Fans smell it. The Bears are weak. The Chicago Monsters will be the opposite. They’ll rise up, crush the Bears, and own this city. They’ll be cool, dynamic, and competent-everything the Bears aren’t. Who wants to cheer for a team run by a mommy who fires her sons? Who wants to associate with that level of failure? Supporting the Bears is like being seen with a corpulent woman with pie crumbs smeared across her face-embarrassing, pathetic, and utterly uncool. Chicago deserves better, and the Monsters will deliver. The McCaskeys’ time is over. Sell the team, or get buried. Sincerely, The Future of Chicago Football

Daily ever move downfield or have an opportunity to defend himself? To me it looked like his head was still down and he never moved downfield when he gets knocked back
It's over, you lost. Play better
Where does it say that in the NFL rulebook? If it were enforced that way, you could just keep your head down the entire play.
@gordons-alive4940
You can look it up in the rulebook. If you have questions about the rule, look up the rule. That's what I did. Why take my word for it?
@edmundmcquincy5464
How would you know that? You didn't look it up.
4-7 Means fire Eberflus now because
1. he won't be here next year
2. You can develop your new staff for next year (the rest of the year) with Eberflus out the way.
3. He can never win the North (like he promised) Because he won't be here next year.
4. Caleb can develop better now by getting rid of Eberflus because if you know he not going to be here next year you can get ahead of next year and turn thing around now instead of wait till next year, to fire flus.
Only fire Eberflus.
I found out a sneaky problem with field goal kicks, using what I know about high-school geometry. It is all about angle launch, depending on how far the field goal try is---the apex, and the final distance to avoid those scary "doinks" for a successful FG.
After doing all of my own analysis on the botched field goal due to that Packers block.........
Because it was 46 yards, Cairo Santos had no choice but to do a "no-win scenario" type of game winning field goal attempt. Hobson's choice here, because....
1. He would have to kick low to allow for more momentum, more speed, and more cutback on conservation of energy that could make the field goal end up too short - 40 yards or less, which means the kick would be "no good", and....
2. This was a HIGH-RISK field goal, because since Cairo HAD to kick it low, a line-drive kick--there is a much higher risk of the kick being BLOCKED.
The kick was a line-driver and low as I knew it, and when I heard the defensive kick-blocking "thump" 0.1 seconds later--I KNEW THE FG WOULD NOT BE GOOD! BEARS LOSE AND IT IS ALL OVER! :( :(
If I were the offensive coordinator of Special Teams for the Chicago Bears, I would come up with this less-risky play for this FG attempt.....to win the game for the team. Instead of a straight-up FG....I would do......
A FAKE FG ATTEMPT. Here is how I will do it.....
1. A right edge end for special teams will be the wide receiver.
2. Cairo will act like the QB, and the snapper will instead snap to Cairo instead of the kick holder, so I need to modify the deep area from the line of scrimmage to do that. Tweak that to get that surprise snap.
3. So when this happens, Cairo will be in kick position as usual, and when the snap is happening, Cairo will make the catch, the R edge end goes downfield for the 'post route' towards the end zone and Cairo does a Hail Mary pass to that R edge end, and likely this R edge end will catch the ball unchallenged, fooling the defensive line, and this will lead to a Bears touchdown, and this will end the game with a Bears victory.
This Fake FG attempt should work, and if this had work, I should work as a special teams offensive coordinator. Fakes are important in football--but you need to do "fakes" RIGHT! You do not want to telegraph the special teams defense on what you want to do.
That's two games that Caleb has put the team in position to win. And they lost. He definitely is clutch
so freaking sad man , i am so sick of this franchise, and absolutely livid with Matt Eberlose as HC.
@hemabh1 ditto
You forget that he completed 41% of his passes against the Commanders.
What about every other game? Where he can't read a defense holds the ball wày to long and generally sucks.... Hes the worst QB in this draft class and it's not close bro nix is better drake maye is better Daniels is way better and Williams has the best situation and weapons out of them all the Packers play calling kept the bears in that game they call a better play on that 2 pt conversion and or kick that fg the drive before and the bears wouldn't have had a chance.... Williams isn't very good
Ur definitely CLUTCH @ SUCKING - GO PACK GO
This even left the entire team weeping at their feet. They might send their sincerest condolences even when nobody's watching them do it.
The offensive line has the advantage of knowing the snap count. How the hell is the guard still in his stance with the ball already on its way to the kicker
you make the most important point
The game commentators said the packers were lined up over the long snapper. Cudos to you guys for showing exactly what happened.
Not to mention the clear holding by the Offensive Line.
This is a professional athlete with world class hand, eye coordination! Go Pack!
You can see the only person that didn't overlap legs was the guy that got beat, in the gap he didn't overlap
How can anyone be a bears fan 😂
It's not easy.... lol
The better question is how any Bears fan gets their children into being a fan? That's messed up.
@@cefb8923lmao I just said that about my son. Do I really want to put him through this 😂
We don’t choose this life.
Geography. Familial loyalty. Stubbornness. That’s about it.
Please tell me that the unsportsmanlike conduct the Bears were called for last week on a field goal attempt that gave The Patriots a first down was different from what happened on this play.
GREAT JOB HOGE!!!!
Caleb showed he could make clutch throws to put us in position to win AGAIN (In Washington he had to drive us down the field twice cause of Waldron's dumb goal line play call) but our weak coaching and infrastructure failed him AGAIN. Just FIRE EBERFLUS and let Thomas Brown run th team. He did have HC interviews in the off-season and since we're going to let go of Eberflus, might as well give him an extended look in this lost season to Jumpstart the coaching search.
I agree
@@Wholesome_Hoops i concur
Packer fan here 🧀
Packer fan here. There clearly was some coaching and a nice play there by Brooks but Packers were lucky to get out of there with a W. You have yourself a QB. The throws after 3rd and 19 were masterful. You can’t buy that clutch performance - you either have that gear in you or you don’t. Respect.
Bears fans have a lot to be happy and hopeful about.
The rivalry is renewed.
Go Pack Go!
Love vs Williams will be great to watch for the next 3-4 years. Gg 🍻
It should have been a blowout. Red zone defense saved you, not Caleb.
To all those saying this is just criticizing the coach in hindsight, I would understand your point IF....IF this were the first or second or third time Matt Eberflus had lost a close game that came down to one play. But this is CHRONIC...that's all Eberflus does in one-play games is lose them. Call it bad luck if you want, but it's luck the Bears can't afford to keep on their coaching staff. The statistical probability that Eberflus would lose each and every one of the close games he's lost is mindboggling. If this were a movie, we wouldn't believe it.
Would it be a stupid idea to move the ball one more yard back if you know you have a kicker that low line drives them
The answer to this question:
"What went wrong on the blocked field goal..."
Is simple, Matt Eberflus.
As it is in every game.
The undeserved loyalty to 'Flus is killing the team.
Wow. Such a breakdown actually reveals it wasn’t a fluke block, it was a block that was very intentionally executed by the Packers.
I guarantee if the bears tried to pass in that last 30 seconds the receiver would have been wide open. The Packers were stacking the deck and we let them get away with it
Just run one more play to get closer.
How do you change “luck”? . What do you do when you have an “unlucky” team ?
30yrs GB owning the Bears 🍻
FIRE. FLUS.
Bears also got called for leverage penalty on a similar play vs Cardinals, after the defense had just made a stop to force a FG. Cardinals then went on to score a TD due to the penalty then ran away with the game.
Football Gods have despised the Bears this year period.
that was a dude pushing off on the snapper's back, which IS a penalty. It was called correctly
It’s 100% leveraging a player. Get rid of the rule then and make it fair for everybody. That’s a flag all day if Kansas City is on the field.
EverLoss would manage to loose a coin toss by calling 'heads' on a coin known to have tails on both sides. He plays scared and makes bad decisions and has infected the team with it. In less than 2 seasons he's had 4 late game losses where the Bears had over a 90 pct chance to win, another late game loss with a lead, and now this.
He’ll say “the sides don’t matter”
So when exactly was it that the Herman Franks era Cubs exercised themselves into the bodies of the Bears??
Don't blame the Coach ...blame the grade D line....Picked a good time to go High School !!!!!
blame the sorry ass gm
Bears can't Block period😢 Ryan Poles needs to be fire too
I honestly wouldn’t mind him being fired. I hate him more everyday he lets Eberflus work here. It’s a joke
One you realize the McCaskey's are pushing the buttons you'll understand why Flus is still here. Worst owners in the NFL- such a joke. Halas didn't want them taking control, and you can see why.
It’s not up to the Ryan if you guess haven’t noticed it up to the McCaskey’s that’s why it won’t happen because the gotta pay him and the new head coach
Why can't we for the nxt 5 yrs draft both a O lineman and a D lineman.... tlet the other positions fend for themselves?????
They would have to draft another QB by then bc either Williams will continue to suck or if he is decent they will have to pay him and it's to late anyway
@JonSimon-l9s Flus knows he's done... question is will Poles last????
That's what you call a "HELLO WISCONSIN!!!" Go Pack Go!!!
A 43-yard field goal is statistically more likely to be successful than a 46-yard field at around a 3-5% increase in success rate.
If you run another play to try to gain 3 yards, chances of a fumble are about 1%. Know your analytics before you coach an NFL team, or comment on UA-cam.
Why are Chicago fans so obsessed with them not running an extra play. There is a real mental issue that bears fans have. Matt Lafleur called a timeout at the 2 point conversion. When Flus did that- Chicago fans go absolutely crazy.
A typical win at home: last second field goal (when successful) ---- bears BLOW!!!
Karl brooks wreaked havoc last year in week 18 with 2 sacks. And a blocked kick this game. He was also selected 4 rounds later than Gervon Dexter. That’s the difference between the bears and packers
The reason you guys have been better than us for 35 years has been DT? We'll run that back with Rodgers and Favre then.
I know the bears were going to lose with about 5 minutes left when they snapped the ball with 22 seconds left on the play clock
Another situational moment failed by coaching. You could have driven down closer and made kick higher
Exactly what did the coach do wrong? 46-yard FG should be made. Screw up, get a sack, miss hand off, Green Bay just had two sacks and a hit on the QB just before. It the o line.
I am a packers fan honestly I was shocked when they ran those 2 plays were they let Caleb hold on the ball for so long. They ended up getting a 1st after that but it put yall into a 3rd and 19, I was shocked at the play calling there too.
@@pflume1run the ball get as many yards as possible on the side the kicker wants the ball on hash. Bears had a time out to run the clock. Closer kick means no line drive
@@packers12to80the 2nd play gary ran over jones and Caleb had zero time
I love that Chicago is STILL crying about that win.....
Is it illegal for the kicker to just move back a couple more yards, and take a longer snap to avoid the FG block?
Great game ...as a packers fan well fought both sides
All of this for a blocked field goal. It would take these guys fifty years to describe a car accident.
Wasn’t the snapper’s head down when he got smashed into? Wasn’t #93 a “leverage” foul??
@ what a well thought out response.
@@edmundmcquincy5464 another great response
A Kindergartner has lived a life without ever seeing a Packers loss to the bears.
THATS NOT WHY DAMNIT-WE HAD 36 SECONDS TO GO AND ONE TIMEOUT AND OUR QB WAS ON FIRE. LETS GET TEN YARDS OR SO CLOSER TO THE DAMN ENDZONE-GREEN BAY WOULD HAVE
The dude still kicks low...that was blocked regardless
@@packers12to80 You're joking right? It's kicked low due to distance- closer kick is a higher trajectory. It's common sense but eberLOSE is the worst coach in Bears history.
What’s wrong? It’s the Bears
Grew up in the 60's, and this is a top 3 Packers - Bears games I've ever seen. Go Pack!
Its called Flus.
they hit the long snapper and pushed should have been a flag
the bears OL can't block shit! the bears OL was pushed back. this is what happened
They scored 20pts. About the Avg for this D. It's what they hired it to be. A Bend don't break Defense. O took a step I suppose. A W would of meant a lot to these players. Coaching is what they hired tho. 🤷🏻💯😳 You go get Belechick expect greatness. You go get Lincoln Riley expect a good team and Caleb to be very good. Watching Harbaugh work with Herbert just 💔😢. You hire Ben Johnson expect Nagy. Guy won Coach of the Year Year 1 people forget. Team wasn't coached or developed and fell off. Bill Belechick is available and has proven he can develop guys, Not draft them, but develop them. Vrabel will end up his DC. Bill O'Brien OC Josh McDaniels QB Coach LB coach Patricia and we keep Hoke as the DB coach. Staff is right there. All available.
Caleb was red hot and he could of scored a touchdown for the win.
DAMN ‼️DAMN ‼️DAMN ‼️
FGB‼️🧀🐀
Great breakdown boys
All bears fans are also brainwashed talking about field goal field goal field goal the way our offense was clicking how about go for 6 in that last 30 seconds.
What went wrong is we stink. Stop blaming the kick. We need a coach with direction.
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired smh
Lining up on the left hash at that too smh
Let’s go pack gooooo!!!!
Flus is what went wrong
He was supposed to miss it.I knew he would.Packers always get good scripts
Caleb Williams deserves better.
TDs over field goals.
get the best draft pick we can and trade it to some desperate team for linemen/edge rushers
I blame the center, he didn’t do anything to block just fell down.
The thumbnail 😂😂😂
Your gonna blame your kicker "spantos" the kicker? He's gonna Santeria you guys. Blame your front office Man. Go Pack Go!
Legal play
CRY 😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢 CITY
Yes. We still own you.
Simple solution. Kick one yard deeper.
This is on Flus again. All he does is play not to loose and that’s all Flus does. Fire him already. Stats don’t lie.
Bottom line is, we still own the Bears !! 😆😆
Stop! If the refs called by standard, the center / long snapper has his head down and they pushed him down. . The same play called against us. Yes, Pryor didn’t help, but if you even touch the center with his head down, that should’ve been a 15 yard penalty. That was leverage, doesn’t matter if it’s the guy who blocks it. How do they get the gap. Granted they didn’t block right, but come on. You guys are what, paid by the NFL for not calling it out and blocking out the obvious. Ok, it’s not obvious, it’s the same BS we got called for in Arizona, if not more blatant. Call it out!!! On air. Oh, but you’re too scared to mention it? The snappers head was down and they made contact. But if you can’t do that, tell Poles to fire Flus. I’m sure you see him in the halls, but you won’t t do that either. Please, don’t ever do a breakdown again on a final play. You are terrible at it. The guys head down and at different ( wide angles ) he is being touched already. Who told you to produce this garbage? Seriously? But you’ll delete my message first. Doesn’t matter either way. Our coach was too weak to try for a few more feet or inches, when he preaches every inch matters. But in Washington, did you call him out yet. Has anyone in Halas hall. You’re not in the cool club being there, you’re in the truth club. You feathered brained….. I’m using George’s preferred language.
25-30 seconds and a time out left, and the imcompetent coach doesn't try to gain some yards and make the FG easier. Firing that doofus would be a mercy firing. GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
Talk about it all week how bad bears play but next Sunday the fans will all line up to give their money away again to only be disappointed again!
This team is plain and simply full of losers!!! They earned this title by consistently finding ways to lose games they should win. It starts with atrocious coaching and trickles down to players who are incapable of making the simplest of plays at clutch moments. Unfortunately, they are in a state of no return regarding getting things right, which means it is time for almost a complete overhaul!!! AGAIN!!!
suddenly its all the coaches fault this year and the OLine now that Fields is gone. LMFAO
Special team got penetrated by a big big man. Just the tip, but that was enough to ruin the day.
It was his middle finger too 🖕
GO PACK GO 😂
The Chicago Monsters will be everything the Bears aren’t: a team players want to play for, a team fans want to cheer for, and a team that wins. Backed by winners, led by winners, and treating players and fans with respect, the Monsters will be the cool team in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Bears are a disgrace-a team run by a 101-year-old woman who fired her own son for incompetence and handed control to George McCaskey, the epitome of awkward cowardice.
George is "nice"? Let’s define nice. Is it selfishly clinging to a team while running it into the ground? Is it upsetting an entire city for decades with your incompetence? Nice is competence. Nice is responsibility. And George McCaskey is neither. I’ve met a lot of "nice" people who do nothing for anyone, and that’s the Bears in a nutshell-a "nice" organization that’s rotten to its core.
Professional players have brands to protect, and the Bears tarnish those brands. Playing for them is a death sentence for your reputation. You don’t want to be branded as a loser by association. Do you think anyone wanted to play for Marge Schott’s Reds, knowing she was a racist piece of garbage? The Bears are no better. No top college player will want to go to a team run by a 101-year-old vampire bleeding the city dry, assisted by her bumbling Fredo.
Sure, second-tier players might come for the paycheck, but the best? Caleb Williams has already inquired about a trade because he doesn't want to get killed behind the Bears’ nonexistent offensive line or become a laughingstock by association. Every Bears press conference, every interaction George has, reeks of weakness. Players smell it. Fans smell it. The Bears are weak.
The Chicago Monsters will be the opposite. They’ll rise up, crush the Bears, and own this city. They’ll be cool, dynamic, and competent-everything the Bears aren’t. Who wants to cheer for a team run by a mommy who fires her sons? Who wants to associate with that level of failure? Supporting the Bears is like being seen with a corpulent woman with pie crumbs smeared across her face-embarrassing, pathetic, and utterly uncool.
Chicago deserves better, and the Monsters will deliver. The McCaskeys’ time is over. Sell the team, or get buried.
Sincerely,
The Future of Chicago Football
WHO FIRES THE CHAIRMAN? (PeeWee)
Legit block. Bears special teams screwed it up. Karl brooks made a good play
11 in a row
Nothing went wrong??? The result god intended happened 💚
almost a COBB! 2. how do bad news bears fans keep comin' back?
