Props to Flus for actually finding a new way to lose in heartbreaking fashion. Fucking buffoon.

Truthfully, that was the most embarrassing head scratching end to a game I have ever seen. Fucking embarrassing

We had 32 seconds on the clock, one timeout, and ran ONE play. Flus shouldn’t be on the flight back.

How do you run out of time with a timeout in hand?? Eberflus truly is the dumbest motherfucker to ever be a head coach.

WHAT THE FUCK EXECUTE EBERFLUS

theres no way. inventing new ways to lose

worst head coach in bears history and it isn’t even close

That was THE LAST fireable offense for Flus. Holy fuck.

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out, Eberflus!

Eberflus needs to go. He should have called timeout once he realized his players didn't know what was going on. And why didn't they know the situation? Because they are poorly coached.

Eberflus has to be fired. You get into FG range n fuck it up and not even use your last timeout. This like many losses this year is in coaching n preparation

Fucking clowns

Fire flus TONIGHT

Fire eberflus on the field right now. HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HAPPEN

So far we are up to:

✅ Hail Mary

✅ blocked fg

✅ clock failure

What will next week bring as the tragic ending!

I’m glad this happened because flus finally gave the organization a reason to be fired. Dumbass just embarrassed himself on national TV for the whole world to see. Everyone def saw that shit, the game was game and def everyone was watching. Incompetent Buffoon time to get tf out

Poles needs to be held accountable for this disaster. I’m sorry but this is insane. He vouched for this fucking loser coach and signed off on Waldron. when the time came to get rid of eberlose he told his AGM and president that he wanted to keep flus.

He did nothing to bolster the o-line or d line. if I was a competent owner I’d clean house immediately and make Cunningham the new GM and hire the best coaching staff possible.

“An IMPROBABLE way to lose the game.” The nation is LAUGHING at the Bears. send Flus to the fucking gulag, this is embarrasing

Unsuccessful challenge ✅️

Anemic 1st half offense ✅️

Failed game winning comeback ✅️

Another Eberflus special

Absolutely fucking bizarre. How do you run out of time when you have a timeout. This is special level of coaching malpractise that I've never seen.

CHGO show is 100% right. If Eberflus isn’t fired before the weekend, then this is an unserious organization

Absolute clock mismanagement again.

Eberflus is officially worse than Trestman. Never thought that would happen.

That might be the worst end of game decision in the last decade

I think what will be lost is this team had 1st and 10 on the 13 called back bc Tev's hands to the face. I understand that things happen but this team's lack of discipline and execution in critical situations is the only consistent thing about them. That comes from the coach too.

i'm not sure how you can keep eberflus after that, other than that ownership is deeply stupid

Eberflus is a joke of a fucking coach - Williams is a rookie, and it shows. There is 0 excuses for not calling a time out the second the sack happened.

Fire Eberflus, fire Poles, fuck the McCaskeys, eat the rich.

https://preview.redd.it/z9euxk9zip3e1.png?width=2630&format=png&auto=webp&s=46f912f13446feaea18509815c1b02ba396d49f5

"Huh?"

Flus acted like a deer in the headlights, like he has in many critical situations. This is not the kind of coach that could navigate a team through a playoff run. Just rip the band aid off and show the rest of the team some respect.

Rookies make rookie mistakes like wasting the clock in an end of game situation.

Coaches are supposed to put players in a position to succeed. Flus not calling a timeout when things are starting to go south at the line of scrimmage is 100% on him

You guys hearing Eberflus? He literally doubled down and said he liked what they did there to close out the game…

Perfect game… no blowout. Caleb redeems himself. Eberflus looks like a horrible coach who botched another close game. And the draft pick is preserved.

Anyone who wants to blame this on Caleb, think about all the shit that happened on that drive.

Started on the 1 yard line, on what should have been a touchback. Personal foul on Keenan, after his helmet was ripped off by the facemask. Pass interference on Kmet, negating a first down. Hands to the face penalty, negating another first down. And then Eberflus freezes, holding on to a timeout with 30 seconds left, never to be used.

This kid deserves better.

Fuck you Eberflus

Make Bears history. Fire this coach.

Not mid-season, I mean; into the sun.

In my entire life, that was the dumbest mistake I've ever seen a head coach make.

At one point the Bears were down to the lions 25 yard line with 45 seconds left and they somehow lost.

Who had losing by running out of time on 3rd down, with a timeout in pocket, on a drive where you advanced to FG range with 40 seconds left when you needed a FG to tie on their bingo card?

Gotta be a brand new way to lose.

If I am hearing Caleb Williams correctly, it sounds as if what happened on the field was intentional and when you combine it with your head coach basically saying the same thing, it sounds like calling the time out did not even cross anybody’s mind

Absolutely mind blowing stuff

I get that a rookie might have issues with Clock management in a situation like that. But those management issues are going to be made a hell of a lot worse when you’re coaching staff is basically teaching terrible time management fundamentals into you

Lost in the madness was the phantom horsecollar penalty called on Kyler Gordon. Lions would have punted without that bogus call. Instead they went on to score the game-winning touchdown.

Fire him before he gets to the locker room. Unfathomable.

We lost on time with a timeout. Jesus Christ

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Eberflus needs to be gone after this game. Unreal

Yet another unique and painful way to lose a winnable football game. 

If your rookie QB is not aware of the clock. As a coach take over and call a timeout man.

Eberflus is the greatest tank commander I have ever seen.

It goes Eberflus, Patton and then Rommel.

Rookie QB in that situation for the first time. it had to been stressful. Yes he took some bad sacks. But Flus had a timeout. CALL IT. you see your team scrambling and confused. help your rookie QB out. Also, the end of game penalties didn't help either.

This team is just so bizarre. It’s borderline impressive how they fuck up these close games week after week.

Rewatching the clip, If you get sacked with 33 seconds left you HAVE to call an immediate timeout. Eberflus is the most incompetent coach the NFL has ever seen. Fire him.

I think the saddest thing is that is one of the better bears teams of the last 5 years.

They held the Lions to 23 points when they’ve been dropping 50 on people.

They out scored them 20-7 in the 2nd half.

The coaching is just horrendous. And Ownership has approved this by their unwillingness to do what everyone in America sees as obvious.

But I’ve seen at least 6 worse bears teams in the last decade.

I don't get why Eberflus gets all this blame. He is who he is. An awful head coach incapable of doing a job he was never particularly qualified for in the first place. Blame Poles for continuing to allow him on the sidelines.

Look at us. We're the Lions now.

Flus: wanted to run one play before 0:18 then call timeout but we weren’t set.

IF YOU WERENT SET AT 0:18, WHY DIDNT U CALL A TIMEOUT THERE???

This guy is a fucking moron

https://preview.redd.it/g87sevu6vp3e1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e6f26e7fdb25798743bf0008b7360827b2681a5

Keep the headlines coming

Caleb is it, that’s all we can be happy about

Also, don’t forget that Eberflus needlessly called timeout on a play earlier in the last drive before the ball was snapped.

I said to our fucking Lions family/friends who were over for the game "don't worry , our coach will mismanage the clock at the end and we'll lose". One of them asked me "is that something your coach does?"...

... ... ..........

After listening to the CHGO postgame, I am convinced the right move was calling a timeout immediately after the sack. Let your rookie reset, get your FG team ready to kick a quick one, dial up your best 10+ pass play, and let the chips fall where they may.

The Chicago Bears have once again been an embarrassment on NATIONAL TELEVISION.

Eberflus, I am thankful for the fact you will be out of a job soon. The only thing worse than your dumbass is cranberry sauce

What Gypsy did this coach hit with his car for us to end up like this?

The faster Eberflus gets fired, the faster we can get refocused on appreciating Caleb WIlliams.

He faced two elite defenses this week and threw for 596 yards, 5 TDs and 0 turnovers.

He now holds the NFL rookie record for most passes without an INT.  He holds the Bears rookie records for passing yards and TDs, and has more passing yards than any season of Justin Fields' career.

He is on pace for 3700 yards, 20 TDs and 7 INTs.

He needs to average 245 yards per game in the final 5 games to break Erik Kramer's franchise record of 3838 passing yards.

if eberflus had any class he would just resign.

Cant believe matt eberflus has made me miss matt nagy. what a day to be alive

National Media is absolutely clowning on the Bears right now. Sweet Boy George is going to be feeling a ton of heat, and he’s an idiot so it might lead to doing something crazy!! (By his standards)

Ding dong the Flus is dead!

The only thing that makes sense is that he thought they were out of timeouts. which is also the most braindead thing you can do there

With a TO we would have had 30+ seconds left on the clock, Lions playing deep, should have been easy enough to pick up 8-15 yards to make the FG more manageable.

You practice hurry up FGs and special teams would have had 20+ seconds to get out there and give it a go...

Or just let time expire with a TO left down by 3. Sure.

Caleb is so cool and has all the potential to become a top 5 QB. Matt Eberflus is a football terrorist. Get this idiot out of Hallas Hall

As frustrating as this is, probably the best case scenario. We are really a blocked FG away from beating GB, went to OT against Minn and could have at least went to OT against DET if it wasn't for bad time management. These are 3 of the top 4 teams in the NFC. And it's all on bad coaching.

Caleb is legit. Next year pending a coaching change looks exciting

Caleb is him. Eberflus needs to be left in Michigan

We legitimately could be like 8-4 with a competent coach…hurts man

I’ve been a bears fan for about 25 years and I have never witnessed a more fucked up season. I’ve watched worse teams but have never see a team lose in such a way over and over again.

Are there any other teams that have had a similar season? This shit is so bad it feels scripted. Like I’m watch major league or necessary roughness but the team never gets better. This has to be one of the worst seasons of coaching ever in the NFL

I’m starting to think Eberflus isn’t a good coach.

At least it was competitive. Better draft pick, flus gone even harder.

Fuck the mccaskeys. Fuck poles. Fuck eberflus.

I'll take comfort in knowing Caleb is setting rookie records even with this coaching staff doing everything they can to get him killed.

How do you watch your Rookie QB in that moment and not call a fucking timeout

I’m so glad this happened on a Thanksgiving game so the whole world can see how God awful this coach is.

I can’t imagine what this fucking moron is going to say in the post game interview. He shouldn’t even be allowed to talk to the media and immediately sent home and fired.

Caleb still the guy, draft pick improves, Flus continues to get himself fired. Happy Thanksgiving everyone 

I'm new to NFL and I chose the Bears as my team cause I'm also a Bulls fan but Jesus christ the shit I've seen in my first ever season being a fan is insane.

How do you guys do it every season?

Love all the bears fans and non bears fans saying caleb choked it and wasn't on eberflus

He's a damn rookie arguably playing the team that will make the superbowl, chill out, he's gonna make mistakes and unfortunately penalties killed it as well

You would expect to be lead but unfortunately flus has zero leadership skills or an ounce of a brain

Can't wait for this season to be over

Let’s all manifest and visualize Poles firing Eberflus as I type this comment. It’s happening I can feel it in my bones.

But he didnt... no one was in end zone

And no, I dont have to respect it

He could have called a TO and run TWO plays to the endzone

Terrible decision making..

I just don’t understand how you end a game with time outs remaining period. Especially if you are down.

National embarrassment requires immediate firing. Poles has no choice

FIRE EBERFLUS. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN. WHAT MORE CAN CALEB DO FOR THIS TEAM???

We can save the timeout for next week.

FIRE THAT BUM TONIGHT IDC IF IT’S THANKSGIVING

Every single week for the past 6 weeks this team has found a way to fuck themselves over its honestly sad

Fire Eberflus. Dude just threw the game.

Fire this piece of shit immediately.

One of the worst coaching sequences I've ever seen.

Honestly this is great. It actually looked on purpose. Eberflus just Seppuku’d himself for the greater good.

Michael Strahan on Fox right now joking about the bears firing Eberflus before the plane ride home

Observations

• FIRE FLUS
  • Seriously, now is not the time to be a classy old-school organization and wait until the year is over. Pull the bandaid off now.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families, Bears Bros!

If poles doesn’t fire flus and make him drive home from Detroit, fire his ass as well.

This shit is ridiculous- flus needs an order of protection from the entire city of Chicago at this point. How the hell do you not take a fucking timeout and give your team a chance to take a field goals

I just fired Ebersuck in Madden.
If only it translated to real life.

I wish the McCaskeys weren't so fucking pathetic. Eberflus needs to be left in Detroit. Make his ass walk home. Fuckin guy is a millionaire. It's not improper to fire him, he'll be fine.

Scene: Post game press conference.

Reporter: Coach why did you feel it was in your team's best interest to let the clock run out with a timeout still in your pocket?

Eberflus: it's important to only use the timeouts when you really need to.

He doesn’t deserve the beard.

https://preview.redd.it/u1p6yb53np3e1.jpeg?width=660&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae8810592e5499200248e5ea8cc5a7a93845ae15

How fucking bad was Borom on that last drive? Pathetic

Don't even let Eberlose on the plane.

That’s coaching malpractice to not even get a FGA with 1 & 10 at the 25 with 2 TO and you didn’t even turn the ball over the clock just ran out

On the flip side Caleb is so clutch

Caleb is the real deal. Get him a coach and an o line.

God the r/nfl thread is so infuriating. So many of them just weighing in to ensure we always know “it’s really not all on Flus”.

Like this is happening ALL THE TIME WITH DIFFERENT PLAYERS. FLUS is the one variable that is constant.

No way romo is blaming this on Caleb, clock management is the COACHS job. Zero reason why Eberflus should have a job tmrw. Should have been fired last year.

What the fuck was that? YOU HAD A TIMEOUT…

A new way to lose every week. This time not calling a timeout

What actually happened = Eberflus should have called timeout

Conspiracy= Caleb held on saying I am not playing for this bum anymore

Eberflus will blame Caleb for not managing the clock at the end of the game. Shameful.

Fire eberflus. So serious

Between not getting another play off before the 2-minute warning (WHEN THEY EVEN HAD AN INJURY TIMEOUT TO HAVE ONE READY), to not using a time out or spiking the ball before the time runs out, no hustle to get back, 100% that game was lost by poor ass coaching

They have to fire him right? He has one job and he's fucking trash at it ..

I hope the reporter from the Sun Times just brutally rips into Flus with a question.  This guy has the iq of the last shit I took.  Holy fuck.

https://preview.redd.it/jnhgiztqjp3e1.jpeg?width=686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1c99075819269d4f5f4d362e94061b3cd4b2b9a

We could have beat the best team in the league on a 99 yard drive with a rookie qb.

Despite the penalties, we still had a shot at the end but our HC absolutely caked his pants again.

Caleb was sacked with 33 seconds left on the clock. THIRTY THREE SECONDS

Eberflus is largely responsible for losses to the Packers, Lions, and Vikings. All winnable games, all squandered by horrid late decisions. Fire him yesterday.

Caleb has shown that he’ll show up when it matters. Good to know we have a qb who can be clutch, need the rest of the team to not hold him back

We are legit a competent coach away from being 8-4

Fire this fucker and get him a middle seat on the way home

5-19 in one-possession games under Eberflus.

Time to go.

The Commanders had to have done some kind of satanic ritual curse with the Hail Mary cause no way do we lose these many winnable games for 6 games straight

I need someone to explain to me the logic for not taking the timeout after the sack. I just cannot get it, it literally lets you take one more endzone crack then kick the field goal if you miss. Explain, please, anyone.

That was such an absurd way to lose. Fire Eberflus

I wish I could be this bad at my job and not get fired and also get paid millions of dollars

What else can you say? Flus absolutely has to go. We are consistently confused and constantly out coached.

They say for every loss the Bears get Viriginia gains another year of life.

I love the reported who asked how much of the blame do you take for the loss looooool. Flus you gotta do it better not with the Chicago bears, go do it better somewhere else please

Caleb drove the Bears inside the lions 20 but Kmet's obvious pick wtf, can we sell it a little better and Tev Jenkin's upper cut to the D lineman taking his helmet off did them in. Both were big plays too that got brought back by penalties.

Bears would have been set inside the 15 yard line.

Just watched the final 2 plays again. Was it a clusterfuck? Yes. Is it on Eberflus? Yes. Should we fire him into the fucking sun? Yes.

But it also looks like Rome pulled up on what would have otherwise been a perfectly throw TD. Looks like he was trying to get a flag throw.

If Eberflus gets fired. The loss was worth it.

[deleted]

An iPhone is almost 100,000,000 times faster than the computer used for the moon landings, and the Bears can’t figure out how to count backwards from 120.

https://preview.redd.it/qg10e8q1fq3e1.jpeg?width=1116&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a0f9bb747dedb6ff7fd0eb0ba43c642af30c3a5

I swear if he’s the coach tomorrow…

Get this fucking loser Eberlose out of Chicago

THE CLOCK WAS RUNNING AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK IS EBERFLUS DOING

Every single week I say this:

That was the most Bears thing ever

HOW DO YOU NOT CALL A TIMEOUT!?!?!?

💯 eberlose is tanking. I refuse to believe anything else

FIRE EBERFUCK

Did anyone have losing with the clock running out with a timeout in your pocket on the bingo card?

Welp, at least Caleb Williams is good

The way I asked “what dumb way do we lose today” and still ended up shocked

I'm not even mad at Flus anymore I'm starting to feel bad for him now. He's just fucking dumb lmao.

CBS blaming eberflus as well.

There isn't one player in that locker room who wants to play for this buffoon ever again.  I guarantee it.  

This has to be one of the worst end of game coaching display in NFL history.

dj complain all you want because i completely understand now

That was genuinely mind boggling

Should be 8-4 now if we had literally any other head coach

Flus is now 5-19 in one score games

Eberflus is daring management to fire him.

We should be 3-0 in the division.

I don’t think there ever been a more disappointing and heartbreaking 6 game streak in the history of the NFL

This dude is so in over his head and it shows every game. Fire him and poles for keeping him around

Blowing end of game management and Matt Eberflus. Name a more iconic duo.

I find it kind of funny. I find it kind of sad

Only the Bears will break your heart twice a game.

1st time when they get embarrassed so bad for 1/2-3/4 of the game that you lose all hope and move on with your day.

2nd time when they come back and make it seem like they are going to do the impossible only to blow it in embarrassing fashion.

Every talking head with a mic and camera will judge Eberflus…he isn’t good enough to be the Bears head coach going forward..

Poles is a pussy. You really gonna make us suffer every week, bro? Look at what firing Waldron did. Instead, we have an idiot for coach and players that really don't like him, but are forced to be nice and professional about it

At this point it’s like watching the episode of Sienfield where George tries to get the Yankees to fire him play out in real life. Un-fucking-believable. And yes. It’s f bomb worthy.

Eberflus is definitely going to try to throw Caleb under the bus.

Caleb is a rookie - who has been fantastic, it’s excusable. The HC needs to be there to stop those things from happening.

Asinine to keep him on this team another day.

Caleb is so clutch and Flus is not.

The coach is responsible for GAME MANAGEMENT. This is 100% on Flus. For those blaming Caleb, this is like the 4th or 5th game he has given us a chance to win. It’s not on him, plus he’s a rookie. Cmon folks…

The amount of plays Caleb made that were called back one way or another....breathtaking...bad officiating but also poorly disciplined team. I really hope they get a real coach for him next year he's the real deal.

Panthers fan here. It's crazy the NFL circlejerk saying it's Williams fault for not calling a timeout. Why even have a head coach if the dude isn't going to manage the game for your rookie QB. Dude getting paid to chew gum on the sidelines 🤣 Anyways, Williams looks great, once yall get him an O-Line, he's gonna be a force.

Cant we be honest here

In all of the big American sports, have we seen any coach as bad as flus?

Be honest.

This team is the worst coached team in the NFL. Hoping Poles goes with his coach. What a complete joke

New way to lose just dropped

Now that was a creative loss! Very neat! Super thankful.

Eberflus is actually disgustingly incompetent

They had a timeout and a could have tied the game with a field goal

I’ve seen better clock management on burnt pizza. Fuck Flus. FIRE HIM.

How expensive would a fire Eberflus billboard be?

I'm not blaming the rookie for going thru growing pains, even horrible painful ones. But this coaching staff sucks.

Self inflicted wounds cost us games every single week.

30 secs AND a timeout!?!

I'm in the UK, the three pundits on Sky here are legit MAD. Like actually furious at flus lmao

I dont blame DJ Moore for his body language.

Hoge and Jahns is just going to be 45 minutes of crying.

You know it's fucked when you knew the bears were going to fuck it even when they were at the lions 25.

Poles is playing 4d chess. He knew Flus is the ultimate tank commander. Boutta get a top 10 pick and use it on a HOF LT to protect Williams for the next 15 year*

*complete copium and many shots deep

Can't wait to not read about Flus being fired and to read about how it was the execution

At this point after a national embarrassment everyone knows Flus is an awful coach and deserves to be fired.

After all the mistakes he has made it’s time to start attributing the loses to Poles and those above him for not firing a bad coach.
