Everything looked fine though until about 10 seconds left, then everyone watching started to get a wtf vibe. There is no way Eferblus knew his QB was going to screw him over like that at 30 seconds, at 20 seconds, or even at 15 seconds. He figured it out at about the same time the rest of the world did. I just don’t see any way calling the last timeout makes any sense in the moment with 30 seconds left, or later like under 10 seconds when it dawned on him his QB was going rogue, With hindsight, sure. We all now know Caleb Williams was planning on screwing his head coach over completely. But at the time even when the idiot finally snapped the ball there was still time to pull off the plan. Eferblus is a terrible coach and has a million reasons to be fired. Today isn’t really one of them.

This is probably because their coach cares more about fashion than football.

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.

Must win

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.

This is equally probable.

He’s right though. Calling the timeout would have taken away the guarantee at 2 more plays*. I mean we are all assuming that Caleb wouldn’t take a sack on 3rd down after running around for all 20-ish seconds. That’s no more stupid or improbable than snapping the ball with 6 seconds left and then throwing a deep ball to burn all the clock. * they didn’t get 2 plays simply because of mass ineptitude. Eberfleptitude?

I’m not excusing the stupidity of it all. Just trying to understand what the hell I just saw. I don’t think anyone should let Caleb off the hook for a huge mistake. He had the guy with a step so if he delivered that pass on target it would have been a big time highlight. It was just stupid.

To clear out. Kmet ran a short out at the top of the screen. I never saw who was in the middle from the bottom of the screen.

It was 3rd and 24. They weren’t getting another first down. The idea is to get 10 yards or so to get back into range and then call timeout. Worst case you get an incompletion and use the last second or 2 for the Hail Mary. The Bears knew they had 2 more plays*. So the second is either a FG attempt or a Hail Mary. They don’t want to leave Detroit 20 seconds for a final possession after the assumed made FG. * they only got one play because Caleb decided to take away the FG option by going for the win.

I think they were as surprised as everyone else that Caleb made such a moronic decision. Who here would have ever guessed that sequence was going to happen? It’s inexplicable.

The idea is to not leave Detroit any time, so you want to bleed the clock. You don’t want to sit in the pocket and take a shot downfield.

If Caleb completes something short over the middle they call timeout and still kick.

Interestingly, they call that silly crap on the outside but not the right tackle holding and moving early that actually effect the play.

I think this one is on Caleb.

I wonder if the staff wanted him to run the clock down to around 10 seconds, get a 10 yard completion, call timeout, and make the FG attempt. Williams dropped back, held the ball in the pocket, and then took a shot downfield.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable. I am dying.

Ok, now this game is BS. Tackle moving too early not called but phantom PI is called.

I wish I understood the Lions need to choke on Thanksgiving. There must be some sort of childhood trauma at play here.

This game already feels like a loss, no matter the final score.

The QB situation makes sense there.

I don’t know that I’ve ever been more wrong about a thing in my life than I was about Dan Campbell. He doesn’t just make motivational speeches. He actually means the things he says, believes them, and lives them every day. The good ones and the bad ones. It’s absolutely incredible.

IT'S HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE HOW STRAIGHT A SHOOTER DAN CAMPBELL IS, GIVEN ALL THE CAFFEINE IN HIS SYSTEM
