I got so much to unpack with you. Good to see you. That was a horrible loss. Horrible. Did we take some steps with the quarterback? Yeah. I saw some progress there. He can't throw the, especially the pick on the sideline. That can't happen. But we were so horribly coached yesterday. We're going to talk to Coach Eber Flus. We were horribly coached yesterday. Whether it was Shane Waldron with his play calling. Whether it was Matt Eber Flus and his staff not knowing that you've got to go for two. My son is sitting there. He's never played it down to football in his life. But he loves sports. Brett says to be deaf, we score, we got to go for two. Yes, you're correct. We got to get it to a three-point game. We got one coach putting one finger up. We got Eber Flus looking around and putting two fingers up. And then squandering a timeout that you needed like a starving man needs a sandwich. At the end of the game, be nice to have a timeout, wouldn't it? No, we had to use it on a failed two-point conversion. The whole nonsense down at the goal line is a comedy of freaking errors and poor coaching. We'll get into all of it. But I just want to know how many parents out there, fathers especially, but mothers too, every week watch the game with their kids, with their sons and daughters. And every year it's the same crap. Dad, can we watch the game with a good team? No, son, we're Bears fans. So disappointing. I feel bum-fuzzled about this football team. I like that one. Google.com. Because the offense isn't good enough, Cap. The way the Colts played, that was a winnable ball game for the Bears. It's bewildering watching the plate calling from Shane Waldron, shaky Shane Waldron. I don't understand why the Bears lost this game yesterday. There's a lot of reasons why, but I don't understand how the result is 21-16 Colts. To Caleb's interceptions, missing receivers by two miles. The inability to run the football effectively in the first three games of the season. The offensive line not opening enough holes to help the running game. From Caleb Williams throwing the ball cap 52 times. And just 16 points. Does that math, math? That math ain't mathin. 52 throws by Caleb Williams in only 16 points. I watch a ton of college football. If a quarterback throws to 52 times, and again, 33-52, usually that's over 400 yards and four touchdowns. And any other college game. But for the Bears, it just equates to 16 points. That's a pretty damn lousy offense that we've been watching the first three games of the season. And I will go back to what I said before the season, Cap. I said, "It's going to be growing pains. There's no question." Because it's a rookie quarterback and it's Shane Waldron. But I just didn't expect through the first three games of the season for the offensive look so stagnant. I didn't expect to see it looking like this. This is a game in which when I read, when I came in this morning reading Indianapolis papers, they are surprised that they were able to beat the Bears. They were surprised. They were looking staring down at the barrel of an 0-3 record. And it should have been. If you have any semblance of offense early, that is a win for the Bears going into the Rams game. But this is what you are, Cap. Again, I don't like to do the blame game thing of saying it's only this person, it's only this unit. But when you look at the offense, all of it looks like crap. You're not scoring enough. You're not running the ball enough. The head coach told us last week that it's about trying to run the football. And so you run the football 63 yards, 28 carries. And that's not enough. And for whatever reason, as much as I respect DeAndre Swift when he was at Georgia, we're looking at a guy that looks more toward the end, closer to wearing a CBS eye jacket and the booth than being a running back in this league. 13 for 20 against that Colts front. The Colts have given up a ton of runs in the running game, a ton of yardage in the running game. 13 for 20. Cap, that's got to get better. It's got to get better. It's just three games. I'm just telling you, but that's got to get better. So when you get the ball down in the low red zone, we're talking inside the five. Okay, I want to take you through something here and I want your thoughts. You've watched a lot of football like our listeners. Okay. Bears have the ball at basically near the goal line, four yard line, first down. Yep. First play call is a wildcat to Kaleel Herbert. Yes. You know, Herbert is by far the third back on this team in terms of the depth chart. You can argue he should be there ahead of Johnson or Swift. Right now in their world at Lake Forest at Alice Hall, he is the third back, right? That's correct. Okay. Why would you take the ball out of your most talented players hands? His name is Caleb Williams. He's not even involved. Kaleel Herbert, why would you not run Rochon Johnson? If you're going to do that, I wouldn't. I hate the wildcat at the pro level. But if you're going to run it, why is it not your most physical back? Rochon Johnson. Yeah. Okay. Second down. Herbert again. Into the line down to the one. You got a second goal at the one. You picked up two on the wildcat picked up one with Herbert. I'm sure he's a little winded from the two plays getting pounded on. Guess what? You run him again, again, no gain, maybe lost half a yard. Now we're going to go to fourth down and we're going to run a speed option. You lose 12. Now again, DeAndre Swift was not good. That play was not on him. Oh my God. Did you see the screenshot? There's like four bears offensive lineman laying on the ground and the entire state of Indiana has DeAndre Swift faced in. You're right. Oh my God, horrific, but here's my question. Was that not? I've watched it a hundred times. I've made calls. I've asked people who know people who played this game. Is that not when you run the speed option? You're telling me that was not a check with me where Caleb looks and goes that front. We can't run that play and run it to the other side or hand it off or take a time out or do something other than lose 12 F in yards. I put that one again. I don't like the play call, but I'm going to ask Eber Flus when he's on with us at 8.20. I'll bet you a million dollars Caleb misdiagnosed the front of that play. I'm sure he did. And also because he's a rookie, doesn't have the autonomy to check out of that play or call a timeout. I disagree. He's got cap. You may be right. But if that's true, that's insanity. Hold on a second. Now I walk to the line and I look, they got this cold. What do I do? I either on a check with, I'm checking out of that play and I'm going to run to the right side where their defense isn't overloaded or timeout. And if he wants to yell at me for taking a timeout, coach, they had it stop cold. It's fourth in goal, right? I mean, come on. Now, what are we doing here? No, no, I understand what I understand your point and you're right. However, the only reason why I bring that up is because if you listen to Caleb Williams, he's been saying, he says, whatever the coach thinks is right, he's going along with Waldron and what Eber Flus wants as he's said it himself. I'm only going by his quotes. Yeah. And so, but again, a veteran quarterback, a second year quarterback will look at that and say, okay, you want me to run this, but I got to call a timeout because look at the front they have, we got to come up with something different. Or I have another play that I can call that's not that one. I'm going to ask Eber Flus, I am. I've got to know, coach, when you guys get down there and you're going to run speed option and they've overloaded one side, does Caleb not have a check to get out of that? Did he misdiagnose the front and should have gone to the other side? Can he take a timeout there? That's a fair question. That's going to be my first question. That's a fair question. You're going to have the first one. That's my first coach. I got to get to the goal line because Johnny, that is a, that last week, you lost to a good team in their building, you're young, okay, whatever. That's a horrible loss. That Colts team stinks, Anthony Richardson, he's a wonderfully gifted athlete. That dude, not a very good quarterback, he's not. But let me tell you something. That's a horrible loss, an awful loss. Yes. And it goes, again, I have a lot of questions about Shane Waldron and some of those play calls. Again, when you have the inability to run the football effectively cap, that's why that wildcat play didn't make sense to me. It just didn't, it didn't make sense to me because again, I like to Lille Herbert and I like Roshan Johnson and I respect Yandray Swift for what he's been able to do in the league, not with the Bears, but in the league, but that play, that just didn't make sense to me. It's that front. May I ask you a question? Why are we so averse to getting the quarterback under center and we're going to run the ball at you. You got to stop us. And if you stop us four straight times, God bless you, then we got to go back to work and get better. But the gimmick in this thinking you're too cute and throw the ball to DJ Moore with nobody out in front blocking him, me, what are we doing? And then I texted you, did I not? Go back everybody, here's your homework assignment before Iberfuse. Go back and just pull up the broadcast, you can find it all over YouTube and everywhere. Pull it up and go watch on, I believe it's third down. And here comes Big 94 for the Colts. He's like six, five, he's like 280 pounds, and he's jacked. Guess who they, these rocket scientists asked to block him coming off the edge. DeAndre Carter, who was completely lost on the play, he like, what am I doing out here? He got blown up. He did try to get into the chest of the oncoming rusher. Go watch the play and he goes backwards, of course, because he weighs like 180. And the other guy weighs like 285, you're not going to win that. I mean, come on, what are we doing here? Colcomette's a good blocker for a tight end. He's supposed to block a lot too. That led to the fumble. Yeah. Okay, Caleb's got to step up, climb the pocket, but it happened so quickly. Col got beat by a really, really good player who's a first round pick for a reason. Well, I mean, what some of the decision making we make just makes me puke, just say, I'm just so perplexed on again, a team that's not very good in the Colts. And the bears, if they just do the little things, cap, if they could just have common sense of some of these plays, then that's a win. I don't care if it's a three, three point, seven points, ten, whatever it is, that's a one of a ball game. And the bears allowed that to happen again, these are supposed to be layups cap at every game's difficult. I understand that because it's a national football league. But the game is in your hands and you find a way to turn it over or bad play calling or bad execution. It's all there on a day in which Roma Dunes A gets his first touchdown. It takes three games for Caleb Williams to throw his first touchdown, 52 passes to the point where Caleb Williams didn't even realize that he threw 52 passes. That's way too much for a rookie and a loss now as way too much. So I called our guy. We always have Tommy on Wednesdays, Waddle Wednesday. You'll get in this afternoon with Sylvie and Waddle's eye to understand football is outstanding. And I call them last. I said, can I ask you a couple of questions and we got into the whole Shane Waldron thing. And Waddle said to me, go back prior to the two minute drive or two minute drive at the end, a two minute drill. And look at the run pass ratio. It was 21 passes to 15 runs. Not bad. I could live with that. And then you threw seven consecutive passes because it's a two minute drill. So it skews it to 28 to 15 until you get down there and then try run a football game. The look, I'm not a huge Shane Waldron guy. I'm not. Caleb's rookie. He's going to make mistakes. He did throw up for 363 yards, 11th highest total in the history of the Bears organization. There will be better days, but I thought we were out coached on multiple levels yesterday. Out coached. All right. Get your phone calls in here coming up 3 1 2 3 3 2 ESPN 3 3 2 3 7 7 6 is our telephone number. You're going to hear from Caleb Williams, a quarterback for the Bears about some of the issues for this team. They're one and two. The Bears lose to the Colts 21 to 16. We're talking about it right here on the home of the Bears. ESPN 1,000. Captain Jay Hood. We're putting the band back together. The nerve center of a great rhythm and blues band on Chicago's home for sports ESPN Chicago. And it's Richardson on the fake keeps now slinging in the end center and it is intercepted. Jermaine Edmonds, he threw it right to him in the end zone, an unthinkable throw by Richardson in heavy coverage and the Bears make a cool line stand here in the second quarter with the 11 0 3 to play in it. Wow. Jermaine has been sinking in coverage with the swipe. Shout out to the Bears defense, but the Bears lose to the Colts 21 to 16. It's a Bears Monday on the cap and Jay Hood morning show 3 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 7 7 6 is our phone number. Hit us up. Give us your thoughts about the Bears now 1 and 2. The defense held up as well as it could cap is a thing. It's like big chunks of yardage for Jonathan Taylor toward the end 110 yards on 23 carries. The rushing attack was solid for the Colts 1 50 on the ground for Indianapolis. But overall, I thought the defense once again held the Bears in there long enough for them to win the ball game and they did not. Yeah, the defense competed man. They battled. I'm not a huge, as I said earlier to you, huge Anthony Richardson fan. Great athlete, just not a really good quarterback. It's got like, if you built somebody in a lab, you're like, wow, big, strong, fast, big arm. It just it's not there yet. Maybe it'll get there someday. It was too spider man means pointing out one another. It's Caleb Williams and Anthony Richardson pointing at each other because of the ineptitude. Both of them both guys were over shooting wide receivers by 15 yards. You're right. It was not it was ugly, especially in the first half now. I thought again, I thought Caleb took steps, I did 363 yards passing. We haven't seen that around here in a long time. Can he be better? Yes. Will he be better? I believe that he will, but boy, oh boy, the offensive line, not moving people. Ryan polls was on the pregame show and said it's more of a communication issue than a talent issue. First from Caleb Williams, though, as promised, we talked about him. You want to talk about the fourth in goal play? Yes. All right, so here's Caleb Williams talking about that fourth in goal play with DeAndre Swift. Yeah, that was a tough one. Been right there in the inside yard line or so one yard line and then not get that. So, you know, seeing it, things like that is a play we practice all week. Something, you know, understanding that, you know, they, you know, when they get around the five yard line to one yard line, you know, their defense changes and they get into those six-one defense and things like that and, you know, they normally, you know, crash and things like that, you know, I guess maybe I didn't get on the edge fast enough or whatever case may have been, but they didn't crash pretty, you know, how they normally do, how we saw him film and, you know, they made a good play, had an extra overhang player over there and it may have been, you know, because in a pistol or whatever case may have been. You ever flew with more brevity? You know, we have to be better. We have to be better there. First of all, it wasn't as good as it should be in terms of our communication there, but we wanted to get a good play on there as well and we like to play, you know, it just didn't work out on that particular one, but again, we have to be better. Stay ahead of it better. Be better there. Thoughts there for Mattie? Reflow's on the same play. Yeah. The whole be better. I want to hear more accountability. I do, first of all, go back because am I lying? Do I not have the game broadcast up right here? And I've got those plays right here on my phone and watching them at break again. And I think I speak for a lot of fans out there, something, and again, I know the people up there getting paid handsomely, but that is their life and they've committed their life to the end of it, but we take it just as hard now. I was pissed off after that game yesterday. It's not just entertainment watching with my son. It's the freaking bears, man. I look forward to those games, even when we stink. And I think there's talent on this team. But when I see us get out coached, not know that we've got to go for two with, what, eight minutes to go in the game, you're down 14 to three. Anybody who watches any amount of football goes, well, we've got to go for two here. Not two to get it to a three point game. So if heaven forbid, you get a chance, kick a field goal. We got a pretty good kicker. Guess what? We got a chance to tie the football game up then. And we got one coach putting one finger up, then either of us putting two fingers up and then burning a timeout because we can't get our people together. Oh, no, we suck again. We do. And that falls at the feet of one person. That's the guy who gets handsomely paid to be the head coach. He has mismanaged timeouts here now multiple times in the first last two weeks. I mean, that sense has got to get cleaned up. How was that decision not made well in advance of it? The situation actually coming up, you know, you're driving the ball, you know, you need to if you score the play should already be in. You should already know exactly what you're going to. The idea there's ever a timeout. And people want to bitch about Waldron and calling the speed option fourth and one. But if you're Eberflus and you hear that go through the headset and you see Caleb getting laid out of the hot out of the huddle, how are you not at that point going, hey, let's in timeout. Can we get this right? Right. Now, Caleb said we practice that play all week long because the Colts were susceptible to it in a previous game this season. But for my research and from me watching a lot of football, and I think other people would agree, when you come to the line and you look and you don't get the front that you thought you were going to get in practice, doesn't a rational person, whether you're the head coach, the OC, somebody in the eye in the sky up in the booth or the quarterback go timeout or kill, kill, kill, we're going to run something else. And I know he's got the ability to do that. Like all of it drove me nuts. I asked this question, Coleman Shelton is very pedestrian, but you get what you pay for one year for three million. If they had an accomplished center there, if Creed Humphrey was the center or Jason Kelsey does a accomplished center identify the front better. Okay. Not to defend the rookie quarterback, but what I would say is is that even with the experience that's in the sky and on the sidelines, someone has to make a call. If it's not going to be on the rookie quarterback, it's got to be on somebody, so everybody gets blamed for that. You see the front in front of you, somebody from upstairs to downstairs and on the field should be able to identify and say, if we run this play, we're going to run into a wall. Correct. That's not the front we practice against. It's not what they ran against whoever they lost to the last time. So there you have it, three, one, two, three, two, three, seven, seven, six is our phone and we'll see all the phone lines to talk to you here on this bears Monday. Maurice is in bellwood on cap and J hood. Maurice good morning. Oh, I don't know the media, y'all guys have said that a chain that was a generational quarterback going to change. You guys must have been in hell and that nail polish he was putting on to make that ridiculous statement. I don't know why you guys just didn't take Harrison Jr. who was a real generational player. Maurice. Maurice went out in the front office. I don't know what you know. I don't know why you said we're right. No, I said the media hyped up this boy is the same. Yeah. And I think he's going to be that guy, Maurice. I'll have that fight with you all day long. Well, one thing he got that he doesn't say this, Trent Rich is just really a dead boy. That's a big boy quarterback. He's he has something to back up play who body in his eyes who Trent Trent Trent the Indianapolis court to my Anthony, Anthony Richardson. That's who you're talking about. Anthony Richardson. Yeah. Trent is the running back from about 15 years ago. Well, you know what I'm talking about. No, we didn't. That's why we don't want to clarify. Go ahead. Like you should do for a tailor. The quarterback for any lap is he has something to back up his poor decision making. He has a big body. I don't know what you're going to back up with that boy you got except that you know how to paint his nails. Oh, you know, stop with the nails and that that's just dumb talk over three hundred and sixty three yards. He's going to be a really good player. And if you don't see any growth in him, that's on you, Maurice. Was he great yesterday? No, obviously he made mistakes. Paintmanic through 28 interceptions is a rookie. Come on, man. Be better. Don't let me have to go through your your dresser drawers, Maurice. I don't know what's in it. May not be. Not be a nail podge, but it might be something else three one two three three two ESPN three two three seven seven six is our phone number. Indianapolis, Minnesota, listening on the ESPN Chicago app. Here's Pat on Captain Jay Hood. Pat, good morning. Hey, guys. How are you? Good. What's up, buddy? Hey, so we can all admit the bears did not have a good offense last year, right? Yeah. So what what made polls want to go and get an offensive coordinator who had a worse offense than the bears did last year. It doesn't make sense. Well, first of all, there are a lot of people in the league and the kid himself, Gino Smith or man said that guy resurrected my career. In addition, he works for the quarterback collective, which is what Caleb is a part of. And so they had history. They run the same type of offense. So there were a lot of things to like and there were other teams after Shane Waldron as well. I don't see it, man, a three games through and I'm already wondering what the heck we're going to do next year as an offensive coordinator. And if he was even keeps his job, well, he's not going to get to pick another OC. If he if they get rid of this guy, he believes won't be here. Yeah, it's awful, man. I just don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me. I get I get he's got the quarterback connection, but it's not showing through through three games. No, it's not. No, it's it's brutal, Pat. And just so we're clear, like Shane Waldron is not going to get fired today because the offense is inept through the first three games of the season. That's not how it works. Now, again, I will tell you what I said before the season is that this is a big season for Matt Eberflus. If this if this team under achieves there is going to be changed, you can't just keep going on the same treadmill of mediocrity and think that it's going to get better. At some point, you have to do right by the talent. Again, it is the most talent that we've seen on a roster in a long time talking about not just guys, not just bodies. I'm talking about quality talent. Someone's got to coach them and also the players have to be able to execute. But when you take a look at something as egregious as what we saw yesterday, as far as some of those play calls, it's just it was just again, I'm not mad this morning. I'm just confused of how the Bears cannot beat the Colts yesterday. I just I don't understand when you got a game plan there, you played you played well enough to win against the Texans. And then this game here, the crowds on your side, because it was playing Bears fans, there was there. It's packed. No friends of mine that went to the game. That's one. But to cap like a defense again, swarming, doing enough to keep you in the ball game and then offensively, you're scoring at the end when it's too late. You get shut out in the first half. You can't run the football. The obvious thing to do is to try to run the football as much as possible to set up the pass to make the rookie quarterback comfortable and they couldn't do that. I'm watching the oven flow of the game, just like you are. And I'm like, well, that ball is near a lot. What happened? Did they abandon the running game? It wasn't like we were down 21 nothing and that you got to exclusively throw the football. It just kind of the running game just kind of just went away. It just disappeared. And it just went away. Just like, what happened to the running game? Even if you're down, was it caps seven to three? You still have to be able to run the football some. No question about it. I don't may take you back another play. We've been talking about what went out of the goal line. So I just watched it two seconds ago. Okay, it's fourth and inches just inside the five. You remember that? Yeah. Okay. Who did we hand the ball off to on fourth down and inches? That would be 23. That would be Roshan Johnson. Yeah. He's your hardest running guy. Is that fair? Yes. Shea, am I right? That's on the roster. Yes. The guys on the roster, fourth and inches, you give it to Roshan Johnson. He picks up the first down. So why do you take him out and put Khalil Herbert in there? When the yards are the hardest to get. Why do you put in the guy who's the slightest of your three backs? Roshan was also just straight up your best runner yesterday. He would know not about it. No, not about it. You ask him on fourth and inches. Can you get that for us kid? Yes. How's it? First in golf Chicago at the four. All right. Come on out. What? Why pull him out? He's cooking. And if he needed one play to catch his breath, okay, Herbert ran from the four to the two. All right. Come on out, Khalil. Get back in there, Roshan. We got to get in the end zone here. Wasn't like he was winded. He's still a young man. You went to Roshan Johnson a lot early, okay? He's passed on fourth down to get the first down to DJ Moore. They kept the line moving. You get to third and sixth is a lot of pressure is incomplete. That's just a complete missed opportunity. Then the missed field goal too. That's how that's the start of all of this cap, the missed field goal. Your third and sixth, there's a lot of pressure on him because the offensive line collapsed is incomplete. There was a complete missed opportunity. You think, okay, Lisa can get three. Nope. Don't even get that. Could Caleb not have to go back or pull the tape up again? Could Caleb not on that play rather than the incomplete run for maybe not the first down? Close. But pick up three or four yards because then the field goes good. Yeah. Now you're close. And it shouldn't have been Santos. Well, when everyone's kicking the ball, well, I was just surprised that Santos couldn't get that ball. Couldn't kick that ball. But then the one he made it soared through by six yards. So he has the leg. Yes. He just didn't hit it right. Strange. I mean, I'm just confused, Cap, about what we saw yesterday, the missed opportunity. The whole game was a missed opportunity for the Bears to win. No question. All these things we're talking about. And there's more as we move forward here.

Carmine Yurko at 12, Oneland Silvia, 230, black enough dollar at 6.30 right here, on the home of the Chicago Bears, ESPN-1000. 3-1-2-3-3-2-3-7-7-6 is our full number, like to remind you, we'll hear from Matt Eber Fluse, the head coach for the Bears coming your way at 8-20, but the Bears lose to the Colts by the score of 21-16. I'm just really disappointed in the effort because the Colts fans and Colts media, they're surprised. Anthony Richardson had a rough day passing, but Indianapolis stopped the run, Cap, and then Jonathan Taylor, when he had to, just went off because of his running prowess, Trey Sermon with the Tush push, and then, of course, Jalen Jones with two picks. That was big against Caleb Williams, and then Lotu Seals the deal. That really was the microcosm of what the Colts were able to do yesterday, but again, a winnable ball game, but again, it's just only a few things that the Colts were able to do well, enough to beat the Bears. So I just gave Shay my phone because I'm technically challenged on some of these things with the newer iPhones. I just went back and watched the third down play again, and I would like some rocket scientists up there, Shane Waldron, the running backs coach, the wide receivers coach, the whoever coach, somebody please explain to me how you're trying to ask DeAndre Carter to block Big 94, because he literally gets broken in two. He gets bent backwards, and that guy not only has him for breakfast, he eats up a Khalil Herbert for lunch, all in one play. I'm going to post the video, you won't believe it, and that is not on DeAndre Carter. That is on the idiot that designed that blocking scheme. If that's Chris Morgan, or whoever it is, that's idiotic. Hey, you see that big animal over there, you go blocking, not going to happen. This has happened several times, by the way, this season where there's an athlete, somebody on the Bears, that's not on the offensive line, asked to block one of the best defenders on the team. We saw this before with Cole Comette. We just saw that this year, like Cole Comette can block, but he's not an offensive lineman. He can get in the way of guys, but he's not an offensive lineman. We've already saw that this year. I think it was against the Texans. Correct. So this is, again, you have the talent here. Don't squander this talent, because you're trying to be too cute or clueless when it comes to play calling. Lyle and Lewis is on cap and J-hood. Lewis, good morning. Hey, good morning, guys. I wish I could say it was a happy Monday, but I think we're all in pretty bad shape here. Don't let them affect your day, Lewis. The choice is yours, baby. Oh, I'll do my best. Just got to deal with some Packers fans rubbing this in my face. But I got to say, I mean, I'm blaming Shane Walden for this, and when he was hired, personally, I wanted Clint Kubiak. I mean, we saw what he did those first two weeks in New Orleans, granted yesterday wasn't the best, but his father's sometime was watching film with Gary Kubiak. We're seeing with Kyle Shanahan, he has revolutionized his father's old system and has made it his own. He's modernized it. Shane Walden, I was concerned that Dave Kanellis was the reason that their offense took off in that first week. Like, truly, that's what concerned me, and he's starting to justify those fears. And I don't know about you guys, but it seems like Shane's, you've said it correctly. He's trying to be too cute. Instead of just playing to his offensive strength, instead of doing like the logical thing, like, "Hey, let's run a Rochelle Johnson on fourth and one," he's going to run a speed option with the Andre Swift on fourth and when they get blown up, they're making a 12. I couldn't, my jaw dropped when that play happened. Lewis, Taylor Williams went 33 for 52 for three years, 63 yards, 52 passes, and 16 points does not math, does not work. That's supposed to be, over 25 points. That's what it's supposed to be. M4 sacks. Yeah. I mean, yeah. We attempted nearly 60 passes. It's ridiculous. Exactly. That's the other thing. You should not be throwing the ball that freak, or that much with the rookie quarterback and his third starter. I shouldn't be throwing that much with anybody. You got to have balance in your offense. Now again, I told you, I talked to Tommy, he said, "Prior to the two minute drill at the end of the half, you were you through seven consecutive passes, you were 15 to 21 run to pass ratio." Not horrible. But guess what? Those plays down at the goal line, what are we doing here in the freaking wildcat? I hate the wildcat. But, I mean, no matter what Tommy's math is, Cap, none of it is effective enough. Agree? Whatever it is. Ultimately, that tells me that when you get the ball in the air that much, that means you cannot run the football effectively enough, 63 yards, 28 carries for the Bears. That just can't be, Cap. And keep in mind, the reason why it was paramount for the Bears to run the football, not just this game, but all three games, but in particular, the Colts game. After giving up 474 yards rushing through the first two games this season, as the most any team has surrendered in the first two games since the 1978 Colts, 474 yards. Oh, so the end should be open for you to be able to run the football, not the Bears. That's a problem. 478 yards against that front. They haven't been that bad since '78, but yet you couldn't run the football against them. 237 yards per game. And the second game was Malik Willis, who threw, I don't know, 15 passes. They said, "We're running it. You can't stop it." Guess what? That's why Green Bay keeps winning, and we don't. Michigan City here, Zach on Captain Jay Hood, Zach, good morning. Good morning, boy. Thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir. You have a great question that I think you should ask the audience. Yeah. When you have the opportunity to speak with Eber Flus, can you ask him why we continue to run the ball as Cap alluded to earlier? We're not running forward. We're running this draw or this dive out of the shotgun. Meanwhile, our pedestrian offensive line is getting moved into the backfield. So now we're looking at second and 11, maybe second and eight if we're lucky. We're not picking up anything. We're not giving Caleb Williams any momentum to move the ball forward. The best thing for a rookie quarterback is a good, sustained ground attack, which we don't have, and a good offensive line to protect him, to give him some confidence, which we also don't have. I had another thought also, have you ever thought that maybe we don't run the ball because we can't run the ball? Think about when Maggie said about fields. He ain't ready. I can't do it. I can't put him in. He's not ready. Maybe we can't run the ball because we can't run the ball. Well, that's a guy. Well, that's a case, Zach, then we should just shut the door on the bear season. If you can't run the football, you can't win in this league. Correct. That went up against a guy that are a team that had given up over 500 yards through two weeks and you managed 78. Not once did you think to yourself, man, we really should go out there and just punch them in the piece right up the middle a few times and let's soften them up. Yeah. They're two biggest defensive stars. They're already banged up. I don't even know if the fourth Buckner play. No, he's on injury reserve. Yeah. He was that, but it was 63 yards on 28 carries for the Bears. I'm saying, like, if, if you can't run the football, here's the thing. It's not my opinion. It's opinion of Matt Ira flus. He said that to us last week. He did. We got to run the football. When we get back to work, when we work, I run on the football. Kiss what? We didn't. It's just, so most egregious of all the things, yeah, of all of them. You had to take a time out because your sideline and I can grab screen grabs of that too, where you got a coach holding up one finger. Yeah. An assistant. What same person that works in the NFL and collects a paycheck is asking for one there. If you told me it's the second quarter, early third, we're just going to take the point of say Andy Reed do that once. We take the point. We just get the point. But you eight minutes to go in the game. What we saw yesterday is kind of a microcosm of what we've seen in the Ureflus era. That's not new. That's not new. And you've been all over that. It's not new because you want to get better as a head coach, then you have to have control of your sideline and you have to make that call. You have to make the call. That's the thing that holds me back from being all in with Matt Ira flus as far as for the long haul for this team because of stuff like that. Stuff like that. And more than fair because by my count, Sylvie and I were texting yesterday. He said multiple time out time outs being botched over the last what do we hear three games in? Yes. All they'll all they'll say is we got to clean that up. And that's just be us. That's just moving as they get cleaned up was it's kicking the can down the road every time they say it. That's all that any any time an NFL coach or a player says we got to clean it up is just kicking the can down the road. We screwed up here, but we'll just kick the can down the road. Why? Because you make the same mistake next week and then week after that and week after that, that's all that is is just sports speak of like, Oh, we'll just have to clean that up. But what if it doesn't get clean up, Cap? What the spill's still there? Right. 312-332-ESPN-332-3776 is our phone number. Shire no shot at eight o'clock, more of your phone calls next on the home of the Bears. Kevin J. Hood, our back get ready, we are tour and we're doing it better than anybody else. Chicago's home for sports, ESPN Chicago, the formation of back behind Richardson who takes and fakes and steps up and going to launch the ball, but it's intercepted first throw and it's picked Jalen Johnson overthrows his man and the Bears have a takeaway after the 48 yard line of Chicago, second interception of the day taking advantage of a quarterback that's a little off in terms of his accuracy. Bears lose to the Colts 21-16 here at every Bears game right here on the home of the Bears. ESPN went down with Jeff Joniakka and Tom Thayer got shot or no shot coming away at eight o'clock. But first, Nick and Justice weighs in on the Bears and our loss against the Colts. Nick, good morning. Nick. Nick. Yeah, this is big injustice, not nicking just. I got a little bit to say, and I know Captain J. Little job got a propensity to interrupt people. Please give me 90 seconds. I'm gonna say what I got to say. Y'all call me. You're not getting 90 seconds. You're not getting it. Give me. Well, let's go. Let's get to it. All right. Now, first of all, you can't run the bar because you got a proven four and a half yards per carry. Sitting on your bench. Next, the blame for this debacle that is now the Chicago Bears and my opinion goes to the National Clown Show that is the media with Chicago being first and foremost, because I'll hype this dude up like he was a generational town. Okay, DJ Moore had the best year of his career with Justin Field throwing him the bar. He went throwing the bar to his cell, call, commit, benefit it from that as well. So the blame rests with you guys. Thank you. Good bye. Damn. Okay. You know, can I just tell you how why that is dumb. Next time, just tweet us. It's just be easier for you to patrol us. Right. So here's the thing that why that's dumb. So if you're a Chicago Bears fan, you want was best for every Chicago bear, whether it's a rookie, a veteran or in between. It doesn't matter. You're rooting for the Chicago Bears as a team to call into a sports radio show to say the reason why the Bears are one and two is because of cap and Jhood or waddling, Sylvia, or blacking up, dollar, carbonate, your go is dumb. It's not about hype. It's about appreciation and the hope. That's all we have in sports fans is the hope. Again, you can listen to what you want. You can turn on the radio, but I would suggest you should listen to it when you do turn it on. And if you turn it on, you would hear me say that he's a rookie quarterback. He's going to go through growing pains. Nothing's a given. That's what I said on this side of the desk. But again, when you paint with a broad brush, it would be like saying, hey, dick from justice. It would be like you say, let me say it. Hey, I hear that someone in your neighborhood sleeps with sheep. So you sleep with sheep too, right? It's the same dumb conversation. Correct. So, so the idea that we wouldn't root for the Chicago Bears as a whole is nonsense. You blame us for the loss? Yeah, because they have to have a scapegoat. That's how this works. They have to. First of all, let's hold the players accountable, which we try to do. Fairs fair. They lost, made some bad plays. I can also tell you that I think that we're seeing growth from Caleb Williams, and he's going to be a hell of a football player. True for 363 yards yesterday. Come on, man. Don't be a dick in justice. We have shot or no shot in two minutes on cap and J-hood.
