Kaleb got greedy in O.T.

2nd and 8. Didn't have to launch it that far, specially when  the receiver had double coverage. His magic got the best of him. Anything but that would have been less risky.

Dumb play.  Had a good drive going.    Just take what defense gives you.  All the needed was another 20 yards. 

No doubt...he wanted to go short to Burden, but he was held. Probably best throwing it away and live for 3rd down. Even if you punt, you pin L.A. back.

Greedy? Not sure if that is the correct word or term. Young and inexperience might be a better word, he just keep playing football, the same brand of football he was playing all year, except in a playoff game maybe he should have switched up. This will be an excellent learning curve for him. I am excited for the Chicago, Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams year 2 will be fun to watch!

I think bears regress next year. They played out of their minds to finish off this season with all these miraculous comebacks. I just wish I jumped on the train to make money off their magic while it lasted

Greedy yes. Every dropback he looked  dead right. There was a rb or wr to the left wide open at times for 10-15 open yds. He didn't even look.  Easy short passes in middle he shuddered, or delayed pass by 1-4 sec before  release.  Gotta be more confident, quicker with decisions.  Take short easy passes over home runs. 

He’s just not that good 

Wait to see if they get any additions on defense. Even though they played lights out vs the Rams, this was a horrible defense for most of the year. Particularly on the d line.

The offense could regress I suppose. Especially if the o line gets injured. That unit has been solid and healthy ALL year.

I just can't see that defense regressing worse than it is. There's too many areas to address, and the Bears should do so.

Again it comes down to coaching. Why that play was called is crazy. 20 yds is all you need to kick a fg. Play it accordingly.. 

@miact

 He is better than good. He is a great athlete with a great coach. Receiver quit on the play, but still a throw that shouldn't have been made.

Coach should have just kept it simple and got in field goal range for the kick. 

They will be back.

@WilliamMunny

All they had to do was dink and dunk it to move the chains a couple times, maybe even aim for like a 4th & 1 so you can decide if you wanna risk going for it or not.

A simple FG was their ticket to the next round.

Most definitely and I wouldn't even call that regression. A team just can't count on 7 comebacks (4Q and OT) in regular season alone every year.

Most definitely correct.

But it begs the question, what if the Bears get a lot better than they were this year? Then they won't have to rely on comebacks to win.

Who?? 

Oh....Caleb, got it now   

Maybe if that bum DJ didn't give up on that play and kept running his route that pass wouldn't have been "greedy".
