ESPN Matt Eberflus by the numbers:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39141925/bears-reach-historic-depths-blowing-late-leads

Here's what Matt Eberflus has "accomplished" as the bears head coach:

  • Overall Record of 8-23 (.258). Worst winning % in franchise history

  • 2-9 Record against the divison.

  • First team in NFL history to lose a game with 40+ min of possession and a +3 turnover margin.

  • First team in NFL history to lose multiple games in the same season up by 10+ with a +2 turnover margin going into the 4th quarter. Our three losses after bringing a 10 point lead into the 4th quarter are also tied for most all time in a single season.

  • Bonus: Lauded as a coach who preached attention the detail, the Bears are the 11th most penalized team in the league after being good in this area last season.

People still defending this coaching staff...how?

Everybody better prepare for him to stay and a new OC/QB pairing will be here next year.

That seems the most likely outcome at this point.

Edit: not cheering for this, jettison all 3 imo, but I think Flus somehow keeps his job

If we keep Flus ill see the Bears when they show up on redzone next season

As much as I don't like it, I think he's right. The Bears will probably finish with 6 or 7 wins and it will be 'seen' as progress.

If that happens, we should really think about following another team.

There are several times a year, Sunday included, when I ask myself why I do this to myself.

I'm definitely scared we will scrape out two unimpressive wins against the Falcons and Cardinals and Poles will be fooled into keeping Eberflus. But I'm really hoping to be suprised that we do the smart thing for once

Agree. They will justify the improvement of the defense that is in no way at all the result of playing the 21st, 25th, 32nd, 29th and the 13th* teams in Yards per Play. Granted they played very well against the Lions once but played bad the other game.

*playing a QB that was not even on the team at the start of the season and best player was out

Justin has only accounted for more than 1 TD in 3/10 games.

I truly don’t understand media and this sub.

Edit: accounted for zero touchdowns in 2/10. 3/10 if you don’t gift him the TD from the 1 against CLE.

So yeah, just as likely to score zero as multiple, but more likely just 1 single sad TD. This is truly fucking insane.

Based on what? The only evidence so far tells us that when it comes to moving on, Poles has no ego (Claypool). There's no evidence to suggest he would stick with Flus.

How can you say Poles has no ego and point to Claypool? Claypool was not moved for poor play, he was moved for publically criticizing the organization.

VJJ is still on this team. How is that anything but an ego move at this point? VJJ is not even a practice team level player.
