As part of his severance, does Eberflus get to take that last timeout with him?

After 2020 the big lie was “Stop the Steal”. The 2024 version is that he has a huge mandate from a landslide when he didn’t even win 50% of the votes. So many people willing to embrace lies.

Caleb Williams is a little b***h Caleb Williams on Jack Campbell’s hit to his left knee: “I didn’t really appreciate the play” Then don’t try to fake going out of bounds for a few extra yards.

Do we really need the weather map and the scrolling alert on our TV for one to three inches of snow?

I think what Eberflus allowed to happen their at the end might be one of the worst coaching blunders and worst clock management situations I've ever personally seen. It was Chris Webber calling timeout when you have none left levels of ineptitude. For him not to jump in and rescue his rookie QB, as the clock was ticking away, is inexcusable. He should have jumped in their and used his timeout to save Williams in that moment. Yes, Williams gets some blame as he had a clear momentary mental lapse in that moment. If that wasn't momentary and that's reflexive of his overall football IQ then he's not going to be a successful NFL starting QB. But Eberflus is just as responsible for keeping an eye on the clock and failed he failed to do so. He failed his rookie QB in the process of it all.

I like the way that MichiganCardinal thinks, seems to have a great mind.

With our payroll, I think Small Business Saturday is more likely.

i dont know if youve checked out the sixers' record yet but that game actually seems winnable. especially since their best players are paul george and joel embiid. sixers may actually start to tank soon.

I think he went into the tent to check on his leg after the Campbell hit.

This sounds like a guy who didn’t know he had a timeout left.

Yeah, this was the short version. The longer version is better. This country definitely has a mental health problem and I am excited and delighted that the largest PD in Michigan is organizing this unit. I spent more time than I liked dealing with individuals who were dissonant in a previous gig. The lack of organized care for people at all ends of the economic spectrum is just boggling given its incredible impact, including on things like January 6th.

Campbell is such a great coach “Campbell was asked about how tough it is to deal with so many injuries to one unit.” … “Does it really matter? Like who cares,” Campbell said. “I go back to, man, it doesn’t matter. If it is or it isn’t or we get a guy back or we don’t get a guy back. Worrying about it and moaning about it and (expletive) about it, it’s like calls, right? It’s like the call. It’s like Vildor (defensive pass interference). I could sit there and throw a fit about it. But what does it matter? It’s called. It’s done. “I know this. Whoever we have available, we’re going to get them ready to play. And we expect them to hold the line. Period. You got to do your job. And everybody around you is looking for you to do your job.” https://www.mlive.com/lions/2024/11/lions-dealing-with-handful-of-defensive-injuries-most-concern-for-lbs-ankle.html

I watched the TV feed of the end of the game and it could not be more obvious that there is absolutely no trust between coach and QB. Williams got mad when the Bears called their second timeout to save him from a delay of game penalty.... So then he just let him drown to end the game? Eberflus is lost, but Williams is acting like he knows better than his coaching staff, which won't serve him well if he ever gets a competent staff in place. I understand the thought process Eberflus described after the game. Quick pass, timeout, field goal. But the sack happened with over 30 seconds left. The calculus changes every second, and at some point that plan needs to be abandoned. Instead, Eberflus was stuck like a deer in the headlights as 30 became 20 became 10 became a snap at 6 and the clock running out. No one would have questioned him if he called his last timeout right away, drew up a play with 30 seconds left for a quick out to the sideline, then kicked it. With that much time, even if you're accidentally tackled in bounds, your field goal unit has plenty of time to fire drill it out there for the kick while the clock runs. You don't want to do it, especially with Chicago's kicking woes, but you can. Unless you royally botch it like they did.

This is exactly it. He’s a complete moron. The coaches had a plan and this idiot said, F-that I have a really really stupid idea. The coaches plan was a super long FG, but given their position on 3rd down it was all they really had. Who would have guessed that the right tackle was going to take 2nd down off? This is on Caleb 97%, right tackle 1%, Eberflus 1%, and the side judge 1% for that truly ridiculous pass interference call.

Matt Eberflus' voice mail "Hey, Matt..........This is Kevin Warren. Hey, why don't you call me back as soon as you're done having your Thanksgiving dinner. I hope you enjoy it, but yeah, I need to run something by you".
