More baffling was on 2nd down they snapped the ball with about 5.5 play clock seconds left on a running clock. It would have negated the whole sequence at the end.
At this point hoping New England wins and they at least have to earn it. Because beating Jason Statham or whatever would be the most Bears way to win it imaginable.
Yikes. I do not get that sequence at all. The two minute warning is stopping the clock anyway so I don't quite get why you don't throw and try to end the game.
And I could have been seeing things but did the Rams snap the ball with 5-6 seconds left to run off on 2nd down?
This is what happens when a coach starts reading his own clippings and must win his way, not the way the game dictates. He is going to throw all over the Bears damnit, because that's what this offense does.
For all his brilliance, McVay isn't showing it. Stafford has been getting killed and they are so reluctant to just run boring run plays. They've been successful the entire night.
There was no reason to stop going up the gut, but they did. McVay is overthinking this. Stafford is uncomfortable and it's awful weather. Just run inside until they can stop it and get the play action going.
I can't shake the feeling that the Bears are beating a backup QB to win the Super Bowl.
Maybe that's why MLF got an extension. Super Bowl winning coach for the Bears.
