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

Were the players mad at his answer below?

Eberflus said after the game that the sideline completions by the Commanders didn’t matter, even though an incompletion on the penultimate pass would’ve made it impossible for Daniels to throw into the end zone.

Ultimately, he lost a lot of games and the locker room, so change was needed.

Dan Quinn also lost the ATL locker room and had that defensive and ST blunder vs the Cowboys years ago.
I think for most coaches it's also Not For Long. Doesn't mean they are awful, just a shorter shelf life or a peak just as a coordinator.
 
I guess its the coaches fault the stupid defensive back was too busy bragging and waving to fans instead of playing D
And they seemed to gloss over Williams' role in the Detroit loss. He was QB who didn't get the snap off soon enough when the clock was running. Eberflus' mistake was giving him too much faith.
 
Laughable that there are folks trying to defend Eberflus now that he’s on the Cowboys. He objectively blew the clock management of that game. It’s okay tendershearts, it doesn’t mean he’ll be a bad coordinator here.
 
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.
 
Hopefully, he learned from that game and can pass that knowledge to Shotty.

I saw that game, the players need to be mad a the players because they screwed the pooch
on that entire possession.

Particularly the guy taunting the crowd just before the hell mary attempt.

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.

I'm glad he's not head coach here. His ceiling may be defensive coordinator.

Of course, we have a head coach whose ceiling may be offensive coordinator.

LOL. So true.

It was a colossal screw up.
 
Caleb Williams is the LeBron James of the NFL. He is just better than all of us. Smarter. More talented. Richer. Just plain better. Just buy the merch and the tickets and behold!!!
