Expert Claims Bears’ Passing Schemes Are Fundamentally Flawed

In recent weeks, the Chicago Bears’ offense has taken a noticeable downturn. Caleb Williams has not appeared as the promising quarterback he showed signs of being earlier in the season, though his team’s struggles have certainly not helped his cause.

Recent issues with the Bears’ passing game have been largely due to ineffective play-calling, according to former quarterback Dan Orlovsky. Speaking on ESPN, Orlovsky analyzed film from their loss to the Arizona Cardinals, identifying three key factors contributing to the Bears’ current offensive woes.

He began by criticizing the team’s offensive concepts, claiming they are poorly designed. Orlovsky pointed to several clips where all the wide receivers are clustered together in tight spaces, making it difficult for Williams to assess who is open.

Next, he noted that Williams’ timing with his receivers has been off, with the quarterback preparing to throw before the wideouts have even turned or gotten into position to catch the ball. Finally, Orlovsky pointed out that Williams often seems fixated on making deep throws, missing easier completions to open receivers running shorter routes.

While he believes this tendency could be coached out of Williams’ game, it remains an ongoing problem for the offense. With the Bears’ coaching staff facing growing criticism, it wouldn’t be surprising if Matt Eberflus is let go at the end of the season based on how things have revealed.
