It look like Rome kinda slowed down. Trying to get a call from refs ?
We don't have or use a Fullback or Pro Sets. I mean RoJo was a great FB in college. That would be an Elite Set. RoJo and Swift both in the backfield. You wanna hammer RoJo, beat spot is from FullBack. With ya Thayer.
No no no no. – spend money and get a proven head coach for once
Tom always adds a lot to the conversation.
Long time Chicago fan living in retirement in Mexico. I miss Waddle and Silvy on my ride home from work . Happy to see you on YouTube
Maybe they had to talk to Thomas Brown first to make sure they had someone who could step in.
None of the Fake Sports Media asked Cancer Caleb about that easy pass that he missed to D J Moore at 46 seconds left. Why?
Experienced at what, losing?No out of touch retreads. Go with Brown unless it’s Lovie.
Lovie coached the most impactful win in Bears recent history from Texans
Sorry guys, but we need to hear the press conference of Caleb, and then Matt.. while we are blaming someone/anyone for 'not' using the timeout, based on what the coach said made complete sense. Now, I am not saying he didn't need to be fired, he failed to find a way to win close games, he was on borrowed time, but the last play…… Caleb gets sacked (game clock 0:32), Caleb is helped to get on his feet (0:28), 1 timeout, 3rd & 26 from the 41yd (field goal if kicked: 59yd…) they make a play call, save the TO to bring the special team for a FG, BUT… then Caleb makes the first play call signal with 0:20 on the clock, doesn't set behind the center until 0:14, Kmet seems to be confuse or faking it to throw off the D, Moore is pointing it to him but they stay where they are (everyone else is ready), 0:12 and the sideline begins to make "hurry hurry" frustration signals, Caleb calls the snap with 0:07, there is barely still time for a quick route and timeout.. but Caleb goes deep (he made a judgement to adjust, I am guessing afraid of the clock running out) he held on the ball for another 4 seconds, the ball flu for 3… All while Kmet and Swift were available to his left for the quick route in 2 seconds, Had Caleb made the throw for the quick route, the timeout was available and the FG would had been from the 55/52yd. I freaking LOVE Caleb, and I hope we can get him to be our QB for a long time, Matt Eberflus was on borrowed time, we thank him for bringing in Waldron…… they wont be missed tho, but the last play is on my man Caleb.. just like the penalties on Kmet & Jenkins on key plays in the last drive… it was just one lucky drive we couldn't profit from it. I am excited for the future of this team and can't wait for them to click it all together.
The McCaskeys are the embodiment of NFL mediocrity, a family so hopelessly out of touch they make Marge Schott and Donald Sterling seem almost competent by comparison. This franchise is a legacy of ineptitude, cemented by Virginia McCaskey’s refusal to step aside and let someone who cares about winning—not just cashing checks—take over. This is a family dynasty so soaked in arrogance and incompetence that they’ve turned the Chicago Bears, one of football’s proudest franchises, into a laughingstock.
Let’s talk about Michael McCaskey, a grown man who was so inept at his job that he had to be fired by his own mother. Fired. By. His. Mommy. If that doesn’t scream dysfunctional family business, what does? His tenure was marked by narcissism and tone-deaf decision-making, alienating players like Jim McMahon, who couldn’t stomach Michael’s antics. And then there’s George McCaskey, the bumbling Fredo of this whole farce, whose leadership is so clumsy and detached that he actually hired his weirdo mirror image in Phil Emery. Emery, the genius who thought Bruce Arians—already a former Coach of the Year—needed to sit in a high chair and role-play a press conference during his interview. Let that sink in: the Bears passed on Bruce freaking Arians, and this circus act was part of the reason why.
The McCaskeys’ history of catastrophic decisions reads like a comedy of errors, except it’s not funny—it’s tragic. Passing on Bill Walsh, a revolutionary mind who reshaped the game, for Neil Armstrong, a coach so forgettable he’s a punchline? That’s not just a mistake; it’s malpractice.
Fans are sick of this. Players are sick of this. The Bears are a storied franchise, not a McCaskey family vanity project. At this point, one can’t help but wonder if there’s something so unspeakably awful buried in their history that it could force the NFL to intervene. If anyone out there has that smoking gun, it’s time to step up and do what this family won’t: save the Chicago Bears from themselves. The city, the fans, and the legacy of this team deserve better than this endless parade of incompetence.
Are we as a fanbase about to have a second civil war over the next head coaching hire lol?
Lets just hope stefanski wants out of cleveland.
No, not Thomas Brown…the coaching staff needs a total makeover with complete new coaching staff. Brown is still part of Eberflus regime.And i wouldnt mind seeing Poles go too.
This report has been verified by the bears former punter’s father who hopes his grandson will be named arm wrestler assistant head coach.
Forget the cheap option get Ben Johnson
Calab was changing the play at the line of scrimmage he's just as much to blame.
Let’s see if the defense gets worse or better lol. To be honest the defense hasn’t been special this year at all.
No more rookie head coaches!! This learning during the game stuff has to stop. Experienced head coaches only considered. Please!!
Boy kyle? Another maga boy? NO. Heavens NO!
I feel you have possibly a great QB here. Don't take a chance. Pair Williams with a great . Bellichick or Gruden or someone like that. Don't mess around.
Lovie smith
Thomas Brown was running the offense during the Lions game, correct? Why didn't Thomas Brown take a timeout? Or, suggest to Matt Eberflus that they needed to take a timeout? I'm sorry, but if they sign Thomas Brown to a long-term deal prematurely, it'll be another big mess.
We need to have an experienced hc. That’s been the problem. We keep getting inexperienced coordinators and letting them do the most important job. That’s cool when you have vet team. Especially qb . Not rookies and young team. No more learning on the job! It keeps backfiring in close games. Get lovie or singletary.
Hell No that is a typical Bear thing to do,
John Fox was an “experienced” hire, and look how that turned out. I’m more for giving a talented OC or DC a shot than getting an experienced HC who’s available for a reason. The only exception is Vrabel, as most agree the Titans fired him too early. He was AP coach of the year after getting to the AFC championship, then fired the next season after going 6-10.
No no no no . Please hire a proven commodity. Bear office is incapable of finding the hidden diamond.
those steroids thayer took when he was playing must have affected his brain cells the gm is a bigger idiot than the coach who was fired does anybody else think that an average 10 year old would have known that there was not enough time on the clock for that last pass or taking a sack when you cannot have that happen he drafted this phony dummy at qb you cant fix stupid. anyone who doesnt know that the qb position is between the ears they should look no further than manning or brady and tell me either of them are athletes
It’s a shame that we all as fans can see that they never should have gotten rid of Lovie 12 years ago let that sink in
Well I'm glad Eberflus is gone and I know it would never happen but I do wish he would take on the DC role.
Thomas Brown has everything it takes to succeed as a Head Coach in the NFL and I want him to go from Interim to Permanent HC of the Chicago Bears. Poles Drafts strongly for the O Line and snags a D Line Edge, and gets an experienced former HC that serves as OC and we're ready to go. C-MO as O Line Coach has to go because his Teachings don't seem to mesh with the system they want to run.
Flush got what he deserved. Should never be a head coach anywhere..
Eberflus made me miss the glory days of Marc Trestman. We didn’t know how good we had it then
That center from Oakland is the one we all suggested the bears should have drafted
Glad Flus is let go; but I don’t want Brown , not hating I just don’t think he’s best for this team. And how the hell is Caleb not taking more responsibility? Hiesman winner, generational talent that never gets nervous couldn’t read the situation and call timeout? Or again go with what’s called and stop playing hero play; he seriously forgot they had a timeout
No more DEI hiring, it don't work. And that's it.
No, it’s about time he suck. I know high school coaches they could’ve called better game day. They didn’t do nothing in the first half and then his time coordination at the end sucked.
What are you stupid? The last five games were all screwed up. You’re taking that as it’s surprise oh my gosh you need to get you a better football if you’re gonna be on a broadcast.
I wouldn't mind seeing john gruden get the head coaching job
And the stupidity begins.
No belichick no bears assistants no Gruden no defensive coach. There is only one answer.
Great coverage! We would all love to see Mr. Thayer as an o line coach for our beloved. He knows exactly what he's talking about and I have been screaming this sentiment about running between the tackles with double team blocks. Fullback sure would help but not for waldron 😂 gtfoh…if Thomas Brown can continue good work we need to retain him. Head coach maybe a stretch considering inexperience but never underestimate former players, especially ones who played with great fire and passion. If translated to coaching from the field then the 🐻s will be a true monsters once again!
Thayer on point! Hightower and Washington have his back and can handle their responsibilities without question. This team will come together now like we haven't seen in many years after squandering chances vs top teams the bar has been set.
Hearing Caleb say he could’ve thrown a jump ball leads me to think Rome expected a jump ball there. Don’t think either is necessarily wrong but if they’re on the same page there that’s a touchdown and a perfect throw. Something to look forward to in the years to come with those 2 growing together.
It would be cool if we found a diamond coach in Thomas brown. I hope he leads this team to win out.
