Matt Eberflus suffered yet another humiliation. No, we're not talking about Sunday when his team fell at home to the 2-7 New England Patriots. It was another crap show, with the offense managing just three points and Caleb Williams getting sacked nine times. Whatever confidence this team had going into the bye week is long gone. Eberflus is getting almost all of the blame for it. He's the head coach of the Chicago Bears. He is supposed to be the one with solutions to these problems. Instead, his presence only seems to make things worse.
People want him fired. Bears ownership won't do that until after the season. That means Eberflus must carry on as if everything is normal. It started with his weekly phone call with ESPN 1000. Unfortunately, problems started immediately as the connection was clearly bad. It went out multiple times. Host David Kaplan, already irate over the state of the team, finally exploded with one of the best lines you'll ever hear.
To make it even better, Eberflus canceled the interview once the call went out a third time, putting a perfect cap on the dumpster fire.
Matt Eberflus has become a joke.
That is the last thing the organization wanted. This was supposed to be the year the Bears got serious about winning. Kevin Warren keeps talking about winning championships. Ryan Poles plans to take the North and never give it back. Now, they are faced with the reality that the head coach they elected to keep is driving the team straight into a nosedive. Chicago is 4-5, losers of three straight, with the hardest remaining schedule of any team in the NFL. Does anybody believe Matt Eberflus is capable of pulling the nose up? Remember, this is the same guy who owns the longest losing streak in franchise history. There is a very real possibility they go from 4-2 to 4-13. That would be easily the biggest collapse in Bears history. Eberflus is out of people to blame for it.
