Romeo Doubs did what you expect a professional to do. He took the blame for the Green Bay Packers’ heartbreaking loss to the Chicago Bears this past weekend.

In a bubble, it makes sense, too. The Packers had a seven point lead with under two minutes to go. All they had to do was secure an onside kick, which they knew was coming, and they basically would have won the game.

In fact, the odds were incredibly in their favor until Dobbs muffed the football.

“S—, I missed it. That’s just this game, bro. I rep this s— all week and, yeah, bro, somebody got to be responsible, and I’m willing to take on 1,000% of it,” Doubs said after the game, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.

Again, that’s what you expect from a pro in the NFL. Doubs did make a mistake, and it was extremely costly for the Packers. In fact, it may have cost them the NFC North.

The thing is, Doubs should have never been in the position to make that mistake, though. He’s taking the blame for how it went down, but ultimately, the finger must be pointed at special teams coach Rich Bisaccia.

He’s the highest-paid special teams coach in the NFL, yet he couldn’t put two-and-two together in that moment. In Doubs, you’ve got a player who has suffered multiple concussions in his NFL career. He’s so concerned about his long-term health, as he should be, that he’s one of the few players in the NFL who wears a Guardian Cap full-time.

He’s a good wide receiver, but he’s not necessarily known for his physicality.

This is the guy Bisaccia put in one of the few vital positions where you know the ball is going to on an onside kick?

It’s called the “hands team” because you want players with good hands in that position, so on the surface, it makes sense why you’d have a wide receiver there. Jayden Reed and Bo Melton were also out there, though they were on the other side of the formation.

And therein lies the coaching malpractice. Not only did the Bears have to call out the fact that they were doing an onside kick, but it was clear which direction they were going — right to Doubs.

Head coach Matt LaFleur had three timeouts in this pocket at that point. If his special teams coordinator was any good, he’d be alerted to the fact that the guy with the pillow on his head was in direct fire of the kick, and perhaps, if they were paying attention, the Packers could have called a timeout and moved some players around.

Perhaps the same thing happens after the timeout. Perhaps the Bears find Doubs on the other side of the field and kick it to him anyway.

More than likely, though, in that scenario, anyone from Reed to Melton to running back Josh Jacobs to tight end Luke Musgrave would have been a better option in that position than Doubs.

The fact that Bisaccia couldn’t see that, again, was coaching malpractice. To make matters worse, you can look at each of Green Bay’s five losses this season and see where special teams breakdowns directly correlated to the loss.

Whether it was blocked field goals or a bevy of flags, Green Bay’s specials teams has been abysmal this season and that all comes back to Bisaccia.

Ultimately, though, it all comes back to LaFleur, because unlike his mentor Sean McVay, who just fired his special teams coordinator in Week 16 after a loss, LaFleur doesn’t have the stones to do what must be done.

Doubs can take all the blame he wants, but he’s not the culprit here.
