Olin Kreuts, "Bears find a way to lose..."

Yep, that was 100% on the coaches.

They practiced that play all week for goaline vs an anticipated 6-1 front by the Colts.  First off, WHY?  That's a play used mostly against low level college defenses who lack the speed to cover the edge.  2nd, the only NFL QBs who should run it are maybe Lamar and Josh Allen.  Caleb isn't big or fast enough to be successful there.  3rd, he hasn't run that play since high school.  Bottom line:  that play even being in the playbook is coaching malpractice.  Rip that page out and burn it.

On top of all that, they didn't have the defensive look that was hoped for (Colts were in 5-2) and Caleb knew it.  But the play clock was running out and he didn't feel he had the time audible out of it especially in a loud road stadium deep in the red zone where its hard to hear.  Even if you were dumb enough to practice and call that garbage play, it had no chance there even if blocked properly.  Swift still would have had to break a tackle (we did not have numbers) and he's shown zero ability to do that.  

Flus had 3 TOs for crying out loud too!  This was the end of the 1st half in the most critical play of the game so far yet he didn't use one to reset the play even after it had no chance of success.  

From top to bottom, that whole series of 4 plays was a film study of how to be a bad coaching staff and how to misuse your personnel in the worst way.  I bet the Bears win that game easily in the 2nd half if they punch it in there.  

I repeat, FLUS IS IN YEAR 3 AS A HC.  THERE'S ZERO EXCUSES FOR THIS.
