REACTION: Bears lose to Commanders on last-second Hail Mary | Bears postgame 2024

[@andyfisher9151]

I was in the end zone section during that play. Tyreek stevenson was too busy worried about the taunting the crowd and then came back to tip to Noah brown for the td. He needs to be benched.

[@bs431980]

That was insane. I just saw a clip of that

[@technum1]

Time for a coaching change. This current regime will not take this team to the next level.

[@Roodoca]

Has it been what like 14 years? Jeez, sad that it has been so long for the Bears had a competent, Head Coach in Lovie. Makes me feel old man.

[@PlatypusVomit]

The ending was crazy, but can we talk about how Caleb shat the bed for 58 minutes? He was throwing more inaccurately than Mitch Trubisky did. Caleb LITERALLY couldn't hit the broad side of a barn until the 2 minute warning. The O-line was bad and Waldron was worse, but Caleb looked like he broke his throwing hand during the bye or something.

[@Mandy_39]

Wtf you expect when he has guys in his face after 2 seconds? Caleb is the least of our worries. If we had any HC/OC in our division Caleb would actually be 10x better than he is now. You think our OC is scheming WRs open, hell no!

[@jimsnyder6310]

Rookie growing pains. Get used to it. The rookie on the other side couldn't score TDs. It is not so unusual.

[@scorpiothegreat1]

The excuses for Caleb would not happen in Philly or NY. The 🧢 is strong in Chicago.

[@jtwilliams8895]

Yeah, the Bears didn’t deserve to win. But it still hurts. They had two freaking weeks to prepare an offensive game plan, and had no answers. The Bears clearly hired the wrong OC. Its just maddening

[@ericf1966]

The kept the wrong head coach.

[@Mandy_39]

Definitely shouldn't of kept Flus or Chris Morgan!

[@garthreid5088]

The Bears almost stole it after being outplayed for most of the game. Caleb Williams 10/24 for 131 yrds. That won't win you much games.

[@dreate780]

If the Bears were in another Division, perhaps we would have a chance this year; But in the NFC North.. No. Our Offensive Line, just can't seem to protect long enough, well enough for our Rookie QB to get in rhythm. Combine that with the sub par coaching?? The light gets dimmer at the end of the tunnel this year.

[@svs8264]

Remember Daniels was playing with bruised ribs and he was able to throw the ball nearly 63 to 65 yards for a Hail Mary touchdown. What play 😊 Hail to the Commanders!!!!!!

[@nicksimon7364]

Bears fan - I’ll ride w my team but congrats to Commanders and JD for gutsy performance

[@scottjustin9800]

Almost every QB in the NFL can throw that distance. The TD was a rebound. He had bad ribs, so Ill give him some grace...but it was dumb luck, not some laser guided cannon shot.

[@RakeshPatel-pb3cv]

Why did Fluss not call a time out before Hail Mary

[@TherealCHuber44]

I was at the game Tyreke Stephenson was off celebrating in the corner like we’d won already. Not sure how much that contributed but it seemed like they were caught a little unaware

[@DOMAdams-g8b]

He tipped it too 😂😂

[@NatalieReyes-ob9om]

He should be benched next game. Everyone should be dialed in. His lack of focus in that situation is unacceptable. That being said, the HC and OC are failing this team.

[@andyfisher9151]

The whole section was yelling at him to turn around!!! Then he came and tipped to the wr!!! Inexcusable 😊

Call timeout and adjust your defense

OC needs to be relieved of his duties. To not give the ball at the goal line to Swift and give it to a backup center is inexcusable. Then the next goal line set you throw on 1st down instead of running the ball and possibly running clock is disgraceful!

It might be too early yo say this, but we might have taken the wrong guy at the top of the draft. Jayden Daniels looks like he's on a different level from Caleb Williams. Caleb's accuracy is a concern.

[@dreate780]

How is this Offensive Line ranked as Top 15 in the league. Often they are ranked higher; What am I Not seeing. Chris Morgan simply has to go. This Offensive Line has consistently underperformed , since he's been the O Line coach. There is no way the Bears can compete in the NFC North with the Offensive line play at this level.

[@phillippalmisano5243]

Looked like the Bears had two bye weeks!!

[@scottjustin9800]

They are what we thought they were. The Bears have played 2 teams with potential to get to the playoffs....not a deep run in the playoffs...just to the playoffs. They lost both. You guys are talking like this game was the "28-3 Falcons" from the Superbowl. The defense is rock solid. Sans Swift's great run the offensive game was on the level of the Panthers and the Broncos. Too many people base their thought process on emotion and not logic. The Hail Mary was a bummer, but the Bears had no business with winning the game with the way they played. Moreover, a for the play itself...im sure the coaches film will show that everyone was in the endzone...and when the pass came up short, everyone but Brown ran to where the ball was going to land. It was a lucky play. Simple as that. The ball could have been tapped 5 yards tot he left or the right, and if a Redskin was where the ball was they could have walked in. Then people would have bitched that that guy was uncovered. It was a fluke. Not some catastrophic breakdown of Hail Mary defense 101.

[@tonybrito9366]

I hate to put this on Ryan poles but he decided to stick with Eberflus and this is what happens. How much longer are we going to allow him to show us he's not the best option for our Team ? So many issues that we have and he doesn't seem capable of fixing problems.

[@ansonjackson6254]

Matt Eberflus is 14-26 as a head coach. He's done fine job with the defense, but he's clueless as a head coach. He's still making similar questionable decisions to when he was a first year head coach. He can't hire a decent OC and he gives them far too much leeway. The team is undisciplined and they make too many mental mistakes . This team will continue to be mediocre under his leadership and he needs to go. Anyone disagree?🐻⬇️

[@mrdivinity8]

The Bears lost the game in the first three quarters, when the offense was non-existent. When the team is not ready to play, and the team looks like a fish, out of water, with No offensive answers in any way, you have to look at coaching! I am curious, as to what Shane Waldron, could have said, in any interview, that would have made the Bears pick Waldron, over Kingsbury, especially, with his past History with young Quarterbacks, let alone the History, with your own Franchise quarterback? This makes No common sense? Horrible offensive line, with No help in sight? Poles, your sugar, is turning to sh**, in front of yours, as well as all Chicagoans face! Peace.

[@rrmond]

Bears deserved to lose. Score should've been worse. Washington had a TD taken back on a penalty. Caleb had time to throw many times but couldnt pull the trigger. Both teams gave up only 2 sacks. Also keep in mind we just watched a QB (Daniels) and a OC (Kingsbury) that the Bears passed on. I'm still optimistic but I think the Bears are in for some rude awakenings as they face better competition the rest of the season.

[@RobertOlson-c8k]

[@Pablo-sk3os]

It happens and you see it a few times a year. You have a better definition of the team of not scoring against good teams, it eiter is not being good offensively or defensive coach consevativism.
