It’s getting late in the season now and we’re starting to see what this team is and what it isn’t.

Eberflus: I feel like this one’s has been answered. There has obviously been concerns around Eberflus the whole season, but after today I’m really not sure how you bring him back next year.

O-Line: This is probably the best I’ve felt about the line in a while. Outside of Center, I’ve been really happy with how the group has performed and i’m excited to see them moving forward.

Eddie Jackson: It’s sad to see, but I think it’s time to move on. He’s a great veteran presence but he has 100% lost a few steps.

What other questions do you think have been answered so far this year?

Eberflus and Getsy are absolute fucking morons.

[–] Broshan248@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cole Kmet is very good.

[–] Cozum@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

was it Eddie who got burned on the Jameson TD? what was he doing that play

[–] thebarbarain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That justin ain't the problem and the coaches need to go

[–] Brodie1567@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We need a new HC, staff & C.

We likely need to upgrade at QB, FS, WR2, DL.

So a lot to fix.

[–] Waderweeddunehair@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We need a center.

We overpaid on linebackers

Pass pro is better

Eberflus and the entire coaching staff are frauds (knew this last year)

Kmet and DJ Moore are solid.

Running defense has improved (in large part of teams passing on us at will)

Poles likes to bid against himself.

JF1 TBD

Honestly, Jaylon Johnson isn’t a premier corner. Dude gets beat like a red headed step-child at least once per game.

[–] TruuPhoenix@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This coaching staff is full of frauds and men incapable of leadership.

This team lacks discipline and identity. It shows up all 3 phases of the game, especially offense. Players don’t know where to line up, constant boneheaded penalties, guys running into each other, etc.

This team is extremely “behind the times” on both sides. Little-to-no misdirection, creativity, or innovation on either side. Our coaches call games like it’s the preseason, every single week, and it makes you wonder what they actually do DURING the week to prepare.

An extension of the previous point — our coaching staff is out of their depth. They’re still falling victim to classic traps that are hallmarks of bad coaching: playing not to lose/being overly conservative, focusing more on Xs and Os over putting guys in the best position to succeed, failing to adapt, etc. They seem out of touch with the players as a whole.

This team needs a leader, BADLY. The McCaskey’s need to swallow their pride and go after Harbaugh, but honestly I wouldn’t mind a candidate out of left field: Dave Toub. Make Toub an offer he can’t resist, he’s past due to get a shot as a HC.

The coaching is not good enough at game managing. At best they are above average coordinators. I feel like they have good plays at times but nobody manages the game well. What’s crazy is the last 2 years I’ve watched a lot of good quarters of offense and defense with a lot of talent and flashes of big potential. We had 0 big plays not long ago now we’re throwing 40 yard TDs and gashing chunks.

Fields is a good QB you could build a team around Fields but this is not the right coaching staff for him. He didn’t take a sack until the 4th quarter I know they barely threw the ball but that’s still significant to see. He’s still a great athlete and seeing him step up in the pocket was beautiful. The offense has the tools to be great. Wright had a great game aside from being beat by hutch at the end but I think the whole offense was in we just blew a 2 possession lead in 3 min shock. If you ask me today I really think the best choice is draft MHJ and the best player available and let Poles pick a new coach ideally someone who understands that time of possession is fucking worthless and clearly believes in Fields, there needs to be culture shock to coach who understands the modern nfl.

Realistically Williams or Maye could be better than Fields but I really don’t think when you watch this team you would say Fields is the problem. Give him his 2 years and pay him next year if he plays well enough to start the season.

Trade Jalen, get rid of coaches and draft Marvin jr and top center. I and hire Lions Offensive Coordinator as coach

[–] -Pruples-@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"Is Elbowmoose a top 5 worst HC all time?" - Yes

[–] acrossthecurve@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Poles can’t be trusted with our biggest draft in history

[–] eledad1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Coaches suk long time.

[–] greatwhitenorth2022@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Am I the only one who thinks Fields would be an all-star running back? I know he probably wouldn't be interested but can you imagine him taking a pitch and throwing a deep ball, or breaking off a 50 yard run?

  • Playcalling and 2 minute schematics on both sides of the ball need to be changed.
  • The defense is slowly becoming something. Needs another premier edge rusher and depth at DT.
  • We need a center and depth on tackles/guards in the pass block.
  • We need a big go-to WR. Someone who will be left open when they double DJ and will win 50/50 balls (cough cough MHJ)
  • RB Room is great.
  • TE room is great.
  • LB room is great.
  • We need depth at safety
  • QB should be left up to the new coaching staff.
  • Santos is one of the best kickers inside 55.

THAT OUR COACHES SUCK DICK

[–] drummerboysam@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There is no winning team that will have Matt Eberflus and Luke Getsy in the most key roles.

[–] amolad@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Luke Getsy is the worst OC in football.

[–] Wh0IsMrX@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Coaching staff is booty. Give me Harbaugh or Ben Johnson. No excuses. Swing for the fences.

Jackson is washed. Brisker might be a one hit wonder.

Center has to be our #1 priority in free agency and/or the draft. We have four guys with experience at C and none of them can snap the fucking ball.

Jenkins is a building block, needs to be extended.

Upgrading at LT is always a good thing, but Braxton Jones is "good enough" to allow us to allocate resources elsewhere, like the DL.

We still need a WR2 with upside. I like Mooney but he disappears for stretches.

We need more out of Tremaine Edmunds... Has been a disastrous signing for Poles so far and no one is talking about it because TJ Edwards has been so good. Remember that Edmunds is a $20M/year player... He has to play like it.

Fields never got a fair shake in Chicago and likely never will. I will be rooting for him on his next team. This was the first year they put any talent around him and when he wasn't running for his life behind a patchwork OL decimated by injuries he was being betrayed by league-worst coaching doing dumb shit like calling the same screen play twice while backed up against their own end zone.

[–] DentonTrueYoung@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

it wasn't a question, but DJ Moore is a fucking stud

[–] razzlefrazzen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jaylon Johnson isn't worth anything near what he thinks he is.

[–] sonicsean899@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Getsy should be fired, out of a cannon.

[–] Rabsaris96@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The old Eddie Jackson would have picked off Goff on the second to last TD. He's still good though. We'll see.

I like what I've seen from the oline, but injuries are always scary so I wouldn't be opposed to a trade back from the Panthers puck getting us another first next year and drafting a center and the top guard or tackle just to continue supporting that oline crew. I don't want a few injuries ending our entire season next year. Let's just load up the oline room for the next couple years.

[–] mrarnold50@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bears stink?

[–] NeopolitanLol@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Santos is legit and should be kicker for a long time
