This is going to sound crazy but I’m dead serious.
I believe Matt Eberflus is the right man to lead the Bears.
I truly believe that.
It happened yesterday, deep into the 2nd half of yet another hopeless Bears' loss.
I didn’t even want or expect it to happen.
But it happened and I’ve been left with no choice.
I have fully converted to a full-fledged Matt Eberflus supporter.
I’ve been back and forth on him since Day 1.
Since I first saw the headshot and that creepy smirk.
In other words, the exact man I want dialing blitzes and making adjustments: a creature.
moist hair is healthy hair
Fast forward to his 2nd season where my opinion’s changed multiple times.
Then a hard effort and good cover wins me back.
Then I’m out the next week.
Then back with the #1 pick and all the roster capital for Ryan Poles to get better.
He just needs his guys.
Steady optimism this offseason gradually turns into downright stupid, arrogant confidence.
45-1 to win the Super Bowl??
I’m currently holding that ticket in shame.
Turns out the 2023 Bears stink, and that’s for a lot of reasons.
But yesterday I decided Matt Eberflus is not one of those reasons.
In fact, I decided yesterday to support Eberflus unequivocally as the right guy to lead the Bears.
The evaluation period is over.
Dropping to 2-7 with a road loss in New Orleans sealed it for me.
The Bears are playing their butt cheeks off and quite frankly, that’s enough for me right now.
Yesterday’s game should’ve been a blowout based on the 2nd half turnover margin alone.
The Saints started 7 of 8 2nd-half drives on the Bears' side of the 50.
I can’t emphasize that word enough.Competition.
It’s one of the critical distinguishing characteristics when talking about World Class athletes.
The sumbitches that WANT IT are the ones that generally get it.
you’ve got the option to’t watch them stay in that game and say the effort sucked.
And you definitely can’t trash their adjustments.
All the stuff I can credit to the Head Coach went well yesterday.
So I said this.
And now I stand by it again.
Even if he’s already on the way out and this is a complete unmitigated disaster of inevitable failure.
It’s the kind of bad that actually gets better.
I saw it yesterday with my own 2 eyes.
They surrendered just 10 points when 13+ would’ve ended it at any time.
Statistically speaking, it could have/should have been so much worse.
This isn’t a contract extension.
Just reminding you guys = everyone since Lovie has lost that locker room.
So until it does, I’m drinking the Flus Juice.
It tastes like Malort
And like Malort, you don’t drink Flus Juice for taste.
You drink it for the feel.
