Comments From Viking Players Reveal Appalling Truth About Matt Eberflus

The Chicago Bears found yet another brutal way to lose. This time, it was after forcing overtime with 11 points in 22 seconds. Everybody remembers them falling apart after that. What they likely forgot is it never should’ve gotten to that point had they hit a field goal earlier in the game. Unfortunately, for the second straight week, it was blocked. That should be a gigantic red flag that something is seriously wrong with the Bears’ operation, pointing the finger again at Matt Eberflus and his staff.

Sure enough, comments from Minnesota Vikings players after the game revealed the inexplicable truth. According to them, the Bears had done nothing to change their protection scheme after what happened last week against Green Bay. It was the same guys protecting and the same kicker with a dangerously low trajectory on longer kicks. They knew they could duplicate the result.

Matt Eberflus keeps proving he can’t learn from his mistakes.

He hired the exact same type of offensive coordinator as the one he fired before. Luke Getsy and Shane Waldron were incredibly similar. His stubborn unwillingness to blitz once again cost the team despite it being clear they couldn’t get home with four. Yet it’s the failure to recognize a weakness and make adjustments to correct it that might be the biggest sin of all. Matt Eberflus should’ve known something was wrong with the Bears’ protection if it happened once. For him to do absolutely nothing to change it tells you everything you need to know. He expects things to get better because they happened once. No way the players let it happen again, right? It is this kind of naivete that makes him so easy to exploit late in games.

There isn’t anything else to say at this point. We’ve seen who Eberflus is. He won’t change. It is time to find somebody who can do the job better.
