Jaquan Brisker Openly Criticized Bears Game Plan Vs. Packers

The Green Bay Packers game last Sunday was another frustrating affair for the Chicago Bears. Their rivals once again dictated the tempo, controlled the line of scrimmage, and always seemed one step ahead. Players weren’t happy about it. Most of the anger centered around the offense, which only scored nine points. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy drew most of the heat. Guys were unhappy with his playcalling. D.J. Moore had a chance to support him after the game and brushed it off. However, Getsy wasn’t alone. It seems head coach Matt Eberflus had some critics of his own. One of them was Jaquan Brisker.

Green Bay had a lot of success throwing the ball throughout the game. The young safety believes it was because the Bears ran soft coverages most of the game, allowing Jordan Love to get the ball out fast before the pass rush set in. Chicago never adjusted, and the Packers were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Eberflus’ unwillingness to get up and challenge their receivers with more man coverage didn’t sit well with Brisker. He made that clear on Bernstein & Holmes for 670 The Score.

Jaquan Brisker isn’t the only one unhappy with the situation.

Multiple players have expressed frustration with how several of the games have gone this year. They know they should be a playoff team instead of 7-10. Too many winnable games were squandered because the team didn’t make the right calls down the stretch. Chicago was in the game against Green Bay. They held big leads over Detroit, Denver, and Cleveland. While players share some of the blame for letting things like that happen, a lot of it comes from coaches not putting them in the best position to succeed.

Discontent might be building in some pockets of the locker room. Jaquan Brisker isn’t shy about venting his feelings on certain subjects. He’s always been outspoken. While there is no animosity with Eberflus, this is at least a sign that people aren’t happy with his conservative nature at times. It will be interesting to see if others feel the same way. That could impact the Bears’ decision on what to do with the head coach. Players venting frustration like this, even if it’s minor, is normally a bad sign.
