1. I wonder what the coach's explain for this will be? He should have called a timeout from the sideline.

9. TO should have happened with 33 seconds left. 2 shots downfield and time for a 3 pointer.

2. I've seen a few examples of bad clock management, but this is the worst I can recall.

4. It's not just that they lose

It's how they lose, week after week. How Eberflus keeps his job is beyond me.

The Bears have almost never fired a coach in season.
Not that there's any hope he'll be around next year, but I doubt he gets fired before season's end.
But geez, a different way to lose a close game every week, it seems. But, they finding ways to lose.
Besides, none of this matters if they hadn't put up a gooseegg in the 1st half. They were dreadful the entire 2 quarters.

16. Heard That On WSCR

Or WMVP, not sure which station I was listening to at the time.
I'm really shocked because the last time the Bears had a head coach not finish a season was 1942. That was George Hakas, who stepped down to go to WW2!
I was wrong, but I'm not any less surprised.

8. They are better than their record...but this was a HC time management fuck-up.

They time-managed themselves into a loss.

13. As a Lions fan, that bad coaching decision was another freaking miracle! A Thanksgiving miracle.

It's our first Thanksgiving win since 2016, as ugly as it was.



Sorry, CincyDem, but dang, we long-suffering Lions fans are in shock this season.

I went up for the playoff game vs the Rams in January…damn was it f’ing cold.


Honestly, I’m probably more of a Lions fan than Bears…but ya can’t ignore a loss like this. David Montgomery is a local kid from a couple miles up the street so it never hurts to root for him.
