Lions beat Bears - who gets the deflated ball?

I don't blame Scott for the loss. It was a play he needed to make and with plays at the end of a close game being magnified in importance AND it being such a visible failure on his part (DJMoore, THill, AJBrown, DAdams...+ many others all make that catch) naturally his name is going to come up a lot. Same with Jackson letting Addison get behind him 30+ yards down field, JJ dropping two pick 6s (although if he could catch he'd be a WR--isn't that the saying?) Fields being strip sacked, Wright picking the worst possible time to not block the DE and Getsy not recognizing the importance of providing a chip block in that situation. Individual failures and plays not working in a close game are magnified.

The DEF should never have allowed the game to get to that point. The prevent DEF did exactly what we all laugh about--prevented the Bears from winning. That is 100% on Flus. The OFF play calling when the game was on the line is 100% on Getsy.

Scott is just a player who was put into a spot and couldn't/didn't make the play. I'm just impressed someone in the media talked to him. I'm still waiting for a Bears reporter to ask Conte about why he decided to not cover Cobb.

It's a relatively minor point on the bomb to Scott.  Did he cause the loss?  Of course not.  But he did fail to secure the win.  He should have made the damn play.  You're a professional football receiver, right?  Then stop making excuses and make the damn play!

The play was called trying to catch them off guard.  DJ Moore was the 1st read but the safety jumped his route.  Scott was the secondary read and beat his cover with straight-line speed.  The fact that he's a 4th round rookie probably helped him win as the D probably didn't take him too seriously as a target there.  You can't design every throw to go exclusively to DJ Moore -- the defense is keying on him.  

It was a perfect throw.  The Bears have practiced that play "plenty" per Jahns.  No excuses for any receiver, rookie or not, to give up on a route and slow walk it there.  If he just keeps running instead of getting lazy, the ball lands in his hands for a game-winning first down, if not an easy TD.  

Scott had a game yesterday very reminiscent of Velus' fuckup games last year.  He was a liability rather than an asset to his team and his QB.  Is it too much to ask for a mid-round rookie WR to actually track the ball in flight and secure a perfect throw?  If it is, then you drafted yet another track athlete who sucks at actual football.  And that's my main concern, not that Scott "lost the game" by himself.

[Note:  None of the above excuses in any way the coaching screwups which were far more serious and pervasive in the 4th Q yesterday.  Getsy & Flus turtled up and blew a big lead in an inexcusably pathetic way.]

Classic Bears here --  the coaches suck at their job of putting players in the best positions to succeed and, when they do happen to be in position, too often the players **** up and fail to make the play.  Welcome to a 6-21 football organization.

Can ANYONE do ANYTHING right around here?  

Thats the going rate for #3 receivers in the league. I already showed you that.

I have seen veteran QBs call timeouts when a play is called in that obviously can’t work.  Better than just wasting a play.
