FILM: Why Chicago Bears FIRED offensive coordinator Shane Waldron; Can Caleb Williams be fixed?

[@jjc5407]

There are a few former QBs doing breakdown videos focusing on the QBs. It's refreshing to hear the perspective from former O-linemen.

[@stevegorman2409]

Our problem is rain pulls. He's supposed to be leading this team coaching staff. He's an idiot. He can't grasp the right people. You build your team through the offense and defensive line. They didn't do that and they had opportunity after opportunity to do that. He's gotta go

[@1207marino]

Bears fan here, you guys are giving great insight and hilarious, love show

[@ChewsCarefully]

_Really?_ Every Single Thing they said was wrong with these passing concepts were there when Fields was QB. Eberflus boasted about meddling in the offensive play-calling & _clearly_ it's more than a little bit as the plays stay the same no matter who else has what title. The *other evidence for this* is that after Fields tried calling this out after week 6 of '22 the Entire Sets Of Plays the Bears ran changed for 4 weeks or "until the heat from Fields calling this out cooled down." *Everyone saw this.* But these guys _still_ haven't called any of this out.

[@Aetnaboy73]

​@@ChewsCarefullyTotally agree these dudes don't have a freaking clue

[@ChewsCarefully]

@@Aetnaboy73 It's hardly a "just them" thing. Have you ever had an opinion that didn't fit the popular narrative? How long did you last trying to explain it to people? Human nature doesn't do what's right. It goes along to get along. When we see this in movies or TV we know immediately we're dealing with a villain. In real life though, everyone treats whoever doesn't go along with The Narrative as villains. There's a clip of Fields going over to Eberflus after scoring a TD to shake his hand. 'Flus looks Fields in the eye then turns coldly away from him, utterly humiliating him in front of his Own Teammates. & why? Isn't it his job as HC to uplift team morale? So what does this thing tell us? That 'Flus hates Fields. & he kept putting him in as starter. What does this tell us? Is a coach who hates his own QB gonna call plays designed to help that QB win or look competent? While I don't expect these guys to be aware of that clip (I think it was from the preseason in '22 but I don't _know_ this) they're the o-line committee. How tf did they miss what I'm seeing in the 1st 23 minutes of kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJrMfGVni998ldE? Take a shot every time a pass-rusher gets through 100% unblocked _OR_ when an o-linesman runs away from the pocket for no reason but not both. Unless you *want* to be comatose. Two years of Fields making highlight reel plays just ducking sacks & _NO ONE_ noticed he was dealing with worse than they noticed Caleb's dealing with in under half a year? That's because The Narrative Was that Fields sucked & it had nothing to do with the play-calling. So pointing this out would have upset society. So *no one* did this. Even after making that video, its maker never spoke of this again only pointing to "mistakes" he could safely say looked like Fields failed to passes to open receivers. Of course Fields was *ordered to* not pass to those. So we don't even know anymore when those were on him or the coaches. To be honest, I think Fields himself is losing his ability to know it. Same video-maker points to 2 things, that 1) Arthur Smith kept decreasing the # of snaps Pickens was on & 2) that he drags his feet on the ones he *does* get. Why would someone who _wants_ the ball not run routes? This caused him to speculate that Smith told him (& Fields) to *not target him* on those routes. Can you -imagine?_ You're about to throw to the Only Open Receiver and you have to stop yourself & read their jersey # first or the coach will punish you. What other coach would _want_ to try this? Fields has had the only 2 I'm aware of. He keeps doing Exactly What his coaches order him to do & excelling despite this & it seems as if his coaches hate him ever more for it.

He passed up on Ben Johnson, BELLICHICK, Pete Carrol, Vrabel AND Harbaugh etc. For KEEPING MATT EBERFLUS!! He passed up CJ Stroud and Daniels back to back years with number one overall picks.

[@ryanrogers52]

Caleb absolutely shares some blame. But you kinda are like “well he’s a rookie hard to expect him to be perfect and do all this stuff perfectly that really no QB is great at in their first 1-3 season” but everybody else it’s more a “why is the OC calling this, why isn’t the HC taking more control over some of these ridiculous calls, why is no one developing, why is the o line this bad, why do we have all these weapons but they can’t get open” so much is not functional which also exasperates the rookie QB problems

[@rons3634]

Loved the show. Very insightful. Not sure if I agree with just keeping Williams in there. The Bears did that with Fields and all he got from it was a beating every week. Some QBs just need to sit for awhile and learn from the bench. It's a strategy that worked amazingly well for Green Bay.

Route concept? There is no concept in those routes. Tell me on a single play you just saw where “getting the ball out faster” would have made any difference?

Who the hell said there was an organizational reset because of the drafting of Williams? That BIG reset happened 3 years ago and Williams was supposed to be the last major piece of that rebuild since Justin wasn't going to be the answer. Eberflus had to coach a reset roster and improved 4 games the next year. The REASONABLE expectation was another 2 games of improvement and playoff contention and that was looking to be the case after game 6. The PROBLEM was that Flus's offensive staff is absolute dogshit. It's time for Ben Johnson. Maybe let Caleb sit to save him for that. There is NO excuse for this team to play like this. Players play.. That's true. But to imply coaching doesn't matter is absolute bullshit. So I THANK YOU guys for this breakdown. Great job!

Kliff Kingsbury makes 6 million a year to be an OC. Eberfuss makes 4.5 million a year. Hmmm. Go figure. Shane Waldron was obviously waaay in over his head. The offense play design and situational play calling is very poor. The offensive line is a disaster and he didn't' know how to fix it. Eberfuss is a poor "HC" and should be the DC. Caleb hasn't been accurate and hasn't been taking the right check down. It's "all" their faults.

You guys are so much better than chase daniel break down

This is same bear crap just a different decade

[@edwardwilliams3185]

Much needed therapy, now at least I know I saw what I think I saw. Fugly day.

[@Rabbitrabbit-k4n]

That's not the problem the passing game the problem is the play calling and not having a scheme if you watch the games it's like she's ordering from me McDonald's menu he's just picking please he's not scheming receivers open he's not running the ball with attentions of getting a big run it's just to get four or five yards

[@monsterpeanutsparkle5624]

Why do Horrible coaches keep chance after chance?

[@danielbrueggemann3058]

Watch us lose to these dumb bears now 😮 couldn't they fire 🔥 people after our game lol 🤣

[@diversifiedassociates8788]

I just don't get it, you give us montgomery By the way, thank you very much and then turn around later and you make swift your bell cow. Huh🤔 Dude. All you had to do was call, we would have told you. Don't waste the $. Go, Lions!

[@bauerty]

Just makes me depressed

[@losbrock]

This looks like a rookie QB and a dumb team. All these blitzes and its like no lineman recognizes and can make a call on the line that yhe should trigger a response from qb; no receiver to recognize and suggest a call to the qb; no coordinatir to empower his players or build in options and better routes to help his qb?

[@DieNasty92]

You guy are hilarious bears are doomed

[@scottpurkis3808]

Maybe its time to fire the Mc caskeys

[@rds990]

Hey Bear fans....you can fire all the coaches you want. You won't do any better. You have a PLAYER problem. Your PLAYERS are just average despite what you think.

[@TroyandZully]

It was Justins fault.

[@Bears86SB]

I'm giving the bears one more game then I'm not watching anymore can't take the anger & heartbreak I'll just watch the best game of the week I'm tired of garbage Football

[@BClues]

Bench Williams and start Bagent!!!

[@ericdavis1380]

Right 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RolandomotadelCampo-e9d]

1:48; I agree 💯. The problem is organisational problem. And its starts with our owners. They are stuck in an era where the system or style of play worked back then. However get over it. That was 1985 season. It 2024 times have changed, hello!?!?!?!. I mean whats really going on in chicago?!?!?. We are the embarrassment of the NFL. I mean we've been trying to fix this ofl. Why does it take over 10yrs to all new players?!? We upgrade every other position, except for the offensive line. What???????????? 😮😮😮😮😮😮. Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤮🤢. Please!! Please!! Help me stay Loyal to my team. Give me something.something were I can say, "ok, time are changing and they look promising for our Bears", please, for the love of God. Why?!??! Why my Chicago Bears!?!?!?!.....why not any other team, except my Chicago Bears?!?!?!... F**kin Fix this Garbage!!!!!! Now!!!!! Like Yesterday!!!!!!!!!

[@russg9371]

They need to sell the team. Every podcast is now saying what I've been saying since the end of last season, the cycle of ineptitude is what Bears Football in known for.

[@joem8496]

Omg get Waldron on here i would love to hear the truth of how much flus and others messed his plans

[@joem8496]

Or if he is really clueless

[@ChewsCarefully]

Aha, _someone_ seems to know something. I want to ask what. Myself, even without All-22 can see this isn't Waldron's mess. But I want to hear what you know because it's likely things I don't. Here's the core of what *I* know: 1) Eberflus boasted that *_"I_** decide* what plays to limit the offense to" after the week 2 win over the 49ers in '22. 2) Then after Fields called out his own coaches for messing him up the entire play-sets changed for the next 4 weeks & the Bears averaged 31 ppg during them. Afterwards they returned to using plays they already knew from the 1st 6 weeks that averaged under 2o ppg. This alone would have gotten him fired if the tank wasn't intentional. But here's the thing. If anyone tries to say that this was all the OC acting without Eberflus' knowledge or consent, _HOW tf_ does one think that he's competent yet Couldn't See that the plays had changed or that the team was scoring fewer points *for over a year?* When everyone else on the planet saw this? So yeah, all of this *required* Eberflus' knowing approval. After that it's just a question of whether anyone else was a*willing* participant or not. Which brings us to your wish: it ain't gonna happen. Waldron can't talk about this any more than Getsy can. If they do, every other team, GM & HC will only wonder one thing: what _else_ might they talk about? Their careers would immediately be over & even colleges with secrets won't hire them. They *can't* talk about what happened to them. The guy who exposed Bellichick's cheats re spy-gate was out of the league the next year. Bellichick remained employed despite getting caught cheating multiple times *after* that. Anyhow, please, tell me what you know. I wanna hear it.

[@joem8496]

@@ChewsCarefully oh of course it can't happen but I can still wish it. I'm sure this is a combination of many failures of many people, including flus, but I'm still curious exactly what that debate looks like.

[@spaceghost8995]

Really? Bears had FOUR backup linemen in the game and Waldron was calling 4 WR sets with an EMPTY backfield! Yeah that'll work!!!😂😂😂😂😂😅

[@joem8496]

@@spaceghost8995 there's a whole team of coaches they need to stop him or maybe they're the ones forcing some of this it's really not that clear. They're scapegoating 1 guy who might deserve it but I think reality is they all should go home and never come back.

There was a time when rookie QB's in the NFL would hold the clip board and watch the Veteran QB play! Can you say? Green Bay Packers MOFU'ers! But No! now we have Generational Talent right out of College that's going to TAKE OVER NFL and Prove! After a hundred years of NFL Football! How wrong the league and its history truly are! If there is such a thing as Generational Talent? It proves itself on the field very quickly! Montana, Mahomes, Namath, Johnny U, Starr! Young people born in the 80's have been fed food with steroids all their lives! They're Bigger, Stronger and maybe? better looking like an Irish Setter and have the same tension span as one! It's not Fantasy Football! It's the NFL! You build an NFL Team First with the best offensive line you can draft! Besides most QB's? They're the smartest people on the field! RB's, then the defense and once you are able to control the 50! keeping your Defense off the field by controlling it with a run game! Then you can draft a QB! Since The Bears GM Jim Finks left! No one has used his playbook on how to Draft an NFL Football Team! Minnesota, Chicago and New Orleans look at how he built a Franchise Teams! I love me some Poles! But he might've screwed the pooch on Williams! Should've traded down for draft collateral and still could've taken a QB later? Michael Penix Jr. Out played Fields in OSU vs IU game! The last time Chicago Bears had a Great O Line was in the 80's with "The Black & Blue Brothers"! The Bears DNA is all over Canton on George S. Halas Drive! One QB! Sid Luckman a True Generational Talent! It's the Chicago Bears! Not the Greatest Show on Turf! From "63" on I tell you that there's been some dry spells in between! But we always played tough fundamental Football! Like the game isn't over until you leave the parking lot! But since the Great QB Search Game Show not so much! starting with Mitch Trubisky,! moving up to take a player you could've had at 15 or lower! Screw Mahome's! because there's not one swinging Johnson! That had a clue about his talent! Maybe Andy Reid? But he didn't move up! It all landed in his lap! Maybe they should move the Franchise to the track? And become "The Arlington Pandas" The Greatest Show on Track"
