Bearking news : Shane Waldron tosses Caleb Williams under the bus with latest mind-boggling comments

Accountability has been the theme of the week for the Chicago Bears as many players were critical of the team’s coaching staff for their decisions during the closing minutes of their Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders

 

Matt Eberflus tried to push the narrative forward on Wednesday, but his tone-deaf answers to the questions plaguing the Bears only left Bears fans more frustrated. In a true hold-my-beer moment, Shane Waldron had just as much tone-deafness when speaking with reporters on Thursday

 

Among the first questions that Waldron was asked was the decision to call for a fullback dive to offensive lineman Doug Kramer. Despite Bears running back Roschon Johnson being perfect on goal-line situations when rushing for a touchdown, Waldron called from Kramer to get the ball. Kramer fumbled in a decision that was mocked across the NFL this week.

Waldron’s defiance on Thursday is a sign that Matt Eberflus does not have control over his coaching staff. It’s also a sign that whatever meetings were held between Waldron and the Bears’ offensive captains this week were not successful.

But not only did Waldron defend the decision to hand the ball to Kramer, he sneakily placed the blame on Caleb Williams for the outcome.
