Caleb Williams says Eberflus annoyed Bears with Handling of Hail Mary loss

[DandyDon52]

I happened to see the end of this game, and it was on the players, the HC , and OC,
as far as time mgmt is concerned.
I never saw anything that bad before.
And caleb was a joke, so he has no room to talk.

edit
I was laughing at them and was asking myself what are they doing ?
Are they all really this dumb?

Williams was probably as much to blame as Eberflus for the "time out" game. First off Williams took a huge sack instead of throwing it away that did two things: it took them out of range for a game tying FG with over 30 seconds left and it ran the clock. Both of these things started the chain rection and changed how they would handle the last minute of the game. They were clearly going for a FG since they were so far out and down 3 points. Then, after teh sack, Williams doesn't get a play off until there are 6 seconds left which guaranteed it was the last play of the game and left them no chance for a game tying FG. That was ridiculous. I think the HC assumed the QB would get the play off much quicker than that. Yes, he should have taken a TO there and not trusted his QB to handle things quicker, but the QB screwed up as well. I think Eberflus was thinking rush up to the line, hike the ball at 12ish seconds, complete a pass, and then call the TO and kick the FG. As compared to the safer option of use the TO immediately and then you need to complete a pass out of bounds or go for it on 4th down, or get a first down and run up and spike it. The sack screwed him up and he made the wrong call. Luckily he won't be in charge of that here, but with how our past couple of HCs handled time management, he'd fit right in if he was

Williams has a lot of talent and I think he is going to be really good, but he has a lot of maturing to do as well and he doesn't look like a "leave it all on the field" kind of a guy to me either. He always seems more interested in Williams than winning - he slides too early, goes down too easy, etc. Just seems soft to me.

I think getting the snap off fast is the safer option. It gives you the entire field to work with, not just sideline passes. Either way, something (the timeout or the snap) has to be done relatively quickly.

And cowboys fans blasted Dan Quinn after his performance against the packers

You think the commanders or their fans care

He’s a coordinator with proven success….some aren’t cut out to be a head coach. This doesn’t concern me

 

[chicago JK]

He was a disaster as a head coach. He has been good as a defensive coordinator though. Similar to other good coordinators who fail as a head coach.

I will say though in order to for him to be successful as a DC he needs better players here. The front office gave him no favors in FA.

 

[Pass2Run]

Meh, learn from the mistake and move along. I want to know what he can do, not what he did.

I'm annoyed that this little child who cried on national TV after a football game in his mom's arms is running his mouth when he has accomplished absolutely NOTHING.

 

[HungryLion]

None of this really matters much with him being a DC and not a HC.

Some coaches are good coordinators but poor HC’s. I think Eberflus falls into that category.

Caleb Williams was talking about the players’ reaction, not the fans’ reaction. And he was saying the players were annoyed with how Eberflus handled the loss, not the loss itself.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think any Dallas players spoke out about not liking how Quinn handled/spoke about the playoff loss.

 

[DuncanIso]

Not gonna go far blaming others….

 

[SHAMSzy]

Lions game was on Caleb Williams and he is an arrogant prick. I don’t root against players but he is very unlikeable to me. Lacks humility & accountability. Fake confidence.

Matt obviously lost his locker room, but Caleb needs to look in the mirror. Some are questioning his leadership........( as rumor has it, even some teammates)

Caleb Williams Says Matt Eberflus 'Annoyed' Bears With Handling of Hail Mary Loss​

To lose a whole lockeroom there has to happen a lot more than just one comment about a hail Mary pass.

 

[Flamma]

Whoever wrote that part in bold needs to watch the game again.

- Daniels threw the Hail Mary from the 35 yard line—12 yards behind the line of scrimmage. So the “penultimate pass” didn’t really end up being needed.

- Daniels’ Hail Mary pass didn’t make it into the end zone to begin with—he threw it to the 2-yd line and it ricocheted off the defenders’ hand into the end zone.

Exactly!! Ball never made it to the endzone. If the D lets the ball bounce up and be caught behind the defense, they can score from anywhere on the field.

Sounds like Eberflus will fit right in with the Cowboys. We love dumb coaches! Maybe he can help us replace the sorrow of losing Coach Mac’s clock management skills.
