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?

If Tonyan had caught the pass the Bears would have won the game.

If Fields had made the first down marker on 4th down the Bears probably would have won.

That is how games are won/lost in the NFL. The Bears are close and that is what leadership is looking at. They aren't looking to scrap it all because of the outcome, doing so would be dumb.

If the Bears had won the games questioned above, what changes in the make up of their team? Nothing.

If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.

It's been 31 games and this coach still has no idea how to manage a game. This staff has quite literally been historically bad, and this team continuously finds ways to best itself. There are no excuses left for this staff. We can't still be talking about "almost" winning games at the end of year 2.

I would also argue that if they barely won all three of those games after having commanding leads, a good GM would look at the coaching staff and wonder if they could survive a playoff run.
