Watching Chicago's play selection in the red zone then watching our play selection is beyond frustrating. No imagination or anything with this offense.

did you guys like going for it on 4th down? the announcers disagreed

but i think you have to go for it, have a chance to take the lead and with how bad the offense is there isn't a good chance you make it back here

Absolutely. I've always thought coaches should be way, way more aggressive inside the 5. Chances are decent that you're going to convert anyway, and if you don't you've got them pinned down on their own goal line. I do that 100 times out of 100. Just need better execution.

that spot! Conklin was never even down. How do you not give him the first there?

I personally wasn't a fan of it. We have been beyond horrible in short distances tonight. Add in the super basic play calling. Thought there was no chance we would get it. With the way the defense has been playing, I felt like we would get at least a couple more tries to get in range for a FG again to tie it.

4 receiver targets, 3 of them are within 4 yards.

I think it's probably a good time to expel the special teams coach. Let's not wait. Absolutely no kick has a chance here anymore for whatever the reasons now.

Is there a backup QB we can use? Is there a backup OC we can use? Is there a backup HC we can use?

I'm not even upset with this defensive possession. They have held this team to 6 points with a couple minutes left in the game. The offense has just completely crapped the bed

I can't give a hard grade to Cousins this year because he's been dealt a crap card. This team needs a complete overhaul. New GM and a completely new coaching staff.

This is exactly the type of games Zimmer wants. Ultra low scoring defensive games and then he wants his offense to score late. This is the garbage he creates and you lose games based on missed kicks and lack of precisiion that is needed to win this way.

Same as playing the Seahawks in 2015. It's like the same team with the same useless offense. We just have worse runningbacks these days.

That's probably the only thing that will save his career while here. Replace the GM/HC and bring in some offensive minds and Oline capable talent evaluators that believe it's important.
