The Green Bay Packers game last Sunday was another frustrating affair for the Chicago Bears. Their rivals once again dictated the tempo, controlled the line of scrimmage, and always seemed one step ahead. Players weren’t happy about it. Most of the anger centered around the offense, which only scored nine points. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy drew most of the heat. Guys were unhappy with his playcalling. D.J. Moore had a chance to support him after the game and brushed it off. However, Getsy wasn’t alone. It seems head coach Matt Eberflus had some critics of his own. One of them was Jaquan Brisker.
Green Bay had a lot of success throwing the ball throughout the game. The young safety believes it was because the Bears ran soft coverages most of the game, allowing Jordan Love to get the ball out fast before the pass rush set in. Chicago never adjusted, and the Packers were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Eberflus’ unwillingness to get up and challenge their receivers with more man coverage didn’t sit well with Brisker. He made that clear on Bernstein & Holmes for 670 The Score.
Jaquan Brisker isn’t the only one unhappy with the situation.
Multiple players have expressed frustration with how several of the games have gone this year. They know they should be a playoff team instead of 7-10. Too many winnable games were squandered because the team didn’t make the right calls down the stretch. Chicago was in the game against Green Bay. They held big leads over Detroit, Denver, and Cleveland. While players share some of the blame for letting things like that happen, a lot of it comes from coaches not putting them in the best position to succeed.
Discontent might be building in some pockets of the locker room. Jaquan Brisker isn’t shy about venting his feelings on certain subjects. He’s always been outspoken. While there is no animosity with Eberflus, this is at least a sign that people aren’t happy with his conservative nature at times. It will be interesting to see if others feel the same way. That could impact the Bears’ decision on what to do with the head coach. Players venting frustration like this, even if it’s minor, is normally a bad sign.

younger qb have a tendency to stick by their coaches, said earlier thank you, so this means we are with ME and JF. But it does not have to mean we can’t pick a new qb does it and give JF something like competition for the slot

I agree with Brisker – the Bears looked like 4th graders against college. We have good players who are smart. Can’t we get something more sophisticated out there? Like another comment stated even when it was close it felt like 30 to 3.
The problem with our coaching is relatively simple. Adjustments are not planned well-enough or soon enough and at times, not at all. It actually is that simple. If something isn’t working and you have a decent idea of what they are doing to you, try something. Anything. It looked like a boxer who refused to avoid the uppercut time and time again by moving his head. Instead taking the punch eventually gave the opponent the edge they needed whether it was happy feet and inaccurate throws or abandoning the pass completely. The blocking for Fields was atrocious and so was… Read more »
I don’t know what’s going on behind the closed doors at Halas Hall, I do know 2 years ago the team was one of the oldest overpaid team in the NFL, with Nagy and Pace leading the way. Oh yeah with no money or draft picks. Now the Bears have money, picks and choices out the ass with the arrow pointing up, think they have about the same record as they did when the rebuild started. I guess I’m slightly optimistic.
