With complains Chicago Bears have come to realise that the downfall of team is caused 85% by HC Matt Eberflus, and if care is not taking…
The Chicago Bears’ once-promising future has been marred by an ongoing downfall, and after years of disappointment, the franchise has finally come to the painful realization that the root cause of its struggles lies largely with Head Coach Matt Eberflus. While the team has faced numerous challenges over the years, it’s become clear that Eberflus’ leadership is responsible for at least 85% of the Bears’ current woes. If things don’t change soon, the team could be staring down another wasted season and possibly even a lost decade of football.
When the Bears hired Eberflus in 2022, the hope was that his background as a defensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts would translate into a solid defensive identity for Chicago. Unfortunately, the defense under Eberflus has been a disaster. Instead of the aggressive, disciplined unit many expected, the Bears have fielded a defense that has been wildly inconsistent, unable to generate pressure, and prone to giving up big plays. The defensive gameplans are often flat, and the lack of in-game adjustments is glaring. Whether it’s missed tackles, blown coverages, or an inability to stop the run, the defense has consistently failed to meet expectations, putting more pressure on an already struggling offense.
On the other side of the ball, Eberflus’ failure to cultivate a strong offensive system has been just as damaging. Despite having a quarterback with immense upside in Justin Fields, the Bears’ offense has stagnated under Eberflus’ watch. Fields’ development has been stunted by unimaginative play-calling, poor offensive line play, and a lack of clear direction. Rather than tailoring an offensive scheme that plays to Fields’ strengths—such as his mobility and deep-ball accuracy—Eberflus has seemed content to allow the offense to flounder in a scheme that doesn’t fit. The result has been an offense that can’t get into a rhythm, leaving the Bears in constant catch-up mode.
Perhaps most alarming is Eberflus’ stubbornness. Despite a consistent pattern of failure, there has been no substantial change to his coaching staff or his approach. His inability to adapt or adjust in-game has become a major issue, leaving fans and analysts questioning whether he’s the right man for the job. If this continues, the Bears risk wasting another year of young talent, particularly Fields, who could become another promising quarterback lost to poor coaching.
The Bears are at a crossroads. If the front office does not intervene soon, the damage done by Matt Eberflus will have lasting effects on the franchise, and the team’s rebuild could set back even further. It’s clear that, without change, the Bears are doomed to remain a mediocre franchise under his leadership.
