The Green Bay Packers special team snatches an unexpected victory, which with 3 seconds left was completely unexpected. After the madness of Washington, the Bears manage to commit suicide once again, thanks to the choices of a coaching staff that does not think deeply about the dynamics of a delicate match and luck does not help Caleb Williams this time either.
But luck, bad luck and chance are not elements with which to deal in the NFL, because matches are won on strategies and episodes that turn the field on its head.
Overall Chicago plays better than Green Bay, but Matt LaFleur he is smarter and more prepared than Matt “Everlose”. The Bears head coach’s big mistake is to look for a 2-point conversion, which failed miserably, when it wasn’t yet time to strategize about the score. Especially in such a tight game that still has to be played. The Extra Point

Every point is precious, vital. The Bears give a huge gift to their rivals Wisconsin who are good at taking advantage of it by escaping from Soldier Field with a victory that revives the Packers’ playoff hopes. For both teams this match represents a fundamental crossroads for the season because Green Bay could find rhythm and a record with a divisional victory, on the other hand Chicago could have regained the enthusiasm that had been lost for a month.
Wisconsin’s special team is the real hero of the game, the Bears’ sideline is the real tragedy. Caleb Williams the real loser.
Late kick aside, the Bears’ choices were questionable because before sending the Brazilian kicker to the pitch for glory the home team still had enough seconds for a final Down
Each offensive team has four downs to travel the 10 yards needed to stay on the field. Depending on the field position, a punt or a field goal can usually be kicked on fourth down.

No defense on the field manages to put more pressure on the QBs, Love works quickly, often relying on an overflowing Jacobs. Williams eats the clock, his great friend yesterday, and finds safety in Allen and Odunze. But history repeats itself and never tires of repeating itself, the Packers win their eleventh consecutive game against the Bears and condemn them to yet another next year.
One play is controversial, that 60-yard throw by Love to Watson in the final period. The play is an exciting big play but the possession on Watson’s reception is not clear and it is quite clear that the WR helps himself with the ground to adjust the ball in his hands (the left in particular barely holds the spheroid with a couple of fingers ). The ball hits the ground and he gets up and runs. The referees give the complete, Chicago calls the challenge and loses it because the referees do not have a shot in which the ball can clearly be seen sliding on the grass, although it is visible to everyone that the ball touches the field. According to the rules, however, there are no elements to modify the initial call and an easy touchdown follows
When an offensive player crosses the imaginary perpendicular plane that cuts the field into the goal line after a run (in this case it is sufficient that the ball, and not the entire body of the ball carrier, crosses the demarcation line of the scoring area , called the end zone), or an offensive and eligible player receives the ball in the opponent’s end zone after a passing action and touches the playing field with both feet. A touchdown awards 6 points and gives the possibility of carrying out a conversion action with a kick (extra point, 1 additional point, more frequent because it is almost certain) or with the hand (2 additional points, less frequent because more difficult, but sometimes necessary to impact or win the game).(Wikipedia)

There is also a doubt about the mass alignment of the Packers’ special team which positions three men in front of the Bears’ center, by regulation it should not be allowed by creating the “leaping” penalty, but this went completely unnoticed and little change.
The last time Chicago beat Green Bay, Caleb Williams was a high school sophomore, an embarrassing fact to consider, and yesterday Caleb played clean and did everything he could to put the Bears in a position to win. It’s more sorry for him than anything else because now his psychological stability is at great risk after two disappointments that were too bitter to swallow.
Eberflus’ Bears won 14 games and lost 30 during his tenure. Today the only certain thing is that this coach will no longer be part of the project from 2025; regarding everything else however, given the trend, it would be better to avoid gratuitous puzzles because it doesn’t make sense anyway.
Love and patience are all the poor Bears fan base has left.
