Bears fans are begging for Matt Eberflus to be fired after loss vs. Patriots
Just when you think the bar can't get much lower, the Chicago Bears always find a way to prove their fans wrong in the most excruciating way possible.
With the Bears riding a two-game losing streak since the bye week, which started with a brutal Hail Mary collapse against the Washington Commanders, head coach Matt Eberflus had an opportunity to get his team a much-needed win against a New England Patriots team that held the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft heading into Week 10.
Instead, Chicago had another embarrassing outing that resulted in a 19-3 loss to arguably the worst team in the NFL (before this game). Since the bye week, the Bears have lost three straight games, been outscored 66-27 and gotten rookie quarterback Caleb Williams beaten up behind a makeshift and injury-riddled offensive line.
You can make the argument that Chicago should've fired Eberflus following last season, especially knowing they were starting over with a rookie quarterback. Instead, a brutal cycle continues as the Bears find a way to ruin a promising young quarterback.
The Bears have never fired a head coach midseason -- and that's unlikely to change -- but the product on the field has shown you that Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron aren't the answer. Something must be done to right the ship before this current coaching staff ruins Caleb Williams. And Bears fans are begging general manager Ryan Poles and president Kevin Warren to rip the band-aid off as soon as Monday.
Bears fans, local media and national media are all calling for Eberflus' job after this embarrassing loss to the Patriots
I just don’t know how Ryan Poles could watch this & think staying the course is the right way to go.

No chance Eberflus makes it out of this week. Screw Bears traditions. This is disaster level failure.

Ryan Poles lauded the culture of the football team he’s spent 3 years building.
It took one Hail Mary for a 4-2 team to completely collapse.
We saw better effort in a Year 1 from a 3-14 team.
What else needs to be seen before changes are made? #Bears— Aaron Leming (@AaronLemingNFL) November 10, 2024
We’re done here. Who let Matt Eberflus cook?
I’m a pretty rational guy, but something has to change after that. Only reason you don’t is if you think things’ll change next game… when they welcome Green Bay 😬 pic.twitter.com/xslX1MEw3Y— Robert Schmitz (@robertkschmitz) November 10, 2024
Caleb Williams was drafted ahead of Daniels, Maye and Nix because of his talent.
He is playing worse than any of them because of his coaching.
The #Bears are doing it again to another young quarterback. So predictable, so frustrating.— Mike Greenberg (@Espngreeny) November 10, 2024
Fire this @bears 🤡 tonight. pic.twitter.com/p0et7oE7TB

If the Bears have any pride at all, you fire Matt Eberflus and Shane Waldron by Monday morning. pic.twitter.com/ojaWsVb5WU

The #Bears will never be good while this guy owns the team
Ryan Poles wasn’t given authority to hire the coach he wanted and isn’t given the authority to fire him either
The same goes for Kevin Warren, who was brought in to build a stadium that’ll never be built
Sell the team pic.twitter.com/iWjkGSUJOd— Michael Valenzano (@mvalenzano2202) November 10, 2024
Bears need to fire Eberflus after game. Needed to terminate him after week 17 last year. This is coaching malpractice. Bears fans deserve so much more. Total embarrassment.

This #Bears roster isn't as bad as the coaching is making it out to be.
If GM Ryan Poles doesn't fire his head coach, he'll be admitting that in his third year on the job, he built another awful team.
In which case, Kevin Warren should fire Poles for incompetence.— Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. (@wiltfongjr) November 10, 2024
The Bears 100% should fire everyone after this game. There is zero reason to wait. Everyone knows it’s coming. Get the fresh start going ASAP
— Kevin Walsh Jr. (@TheKevinWalsh) November 10, 2024
If the #Bears don't fire Matt Eberflus and Shane Waldron within the next 24 hours, they will never fire a head coach midseason for the rest of time.
There's never been an easier decision for this franchise to make.— Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) November 10, 2024
Bears need to fire Eberflus and Waldron before Caleb is broken for good. Hard to cheer for this team when they keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. It’s literally insanity.
— Bryan Perez (@BryanPerezNFL) November 10, 2024
How do you not fire someone after this game? Waldron and/or Eberflus.
This cannot continue for 8 more games.
Destroying the development of another first round QB with an incompetent coaching staff. #Bears— Aaron Leming (@AaronLemingNFL) November 10, 2024
I’ve seen the Bears ignore some bad losses & not fire a coach shit we just saw it with Nagy but man how can you ignore this?
— 79th & Halas Podcast (@79thAndHalas) November 10, 2024
Bears just lost by 2 TDs. At home. To the 2 win Pats. They gave up 9 sacks (almost impossible) and gained 130 yards.
How does Eberflus have a job in the morning. WHO CARES ABOUT THE STUPID WE’VE NEVER FIRED A COACH MIDSEASON THING. FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING. FIRE THIS BUM— Joey Knish (@JoeyKnish22) November 10, 2024
The #Bears will fire Shane Waldron tomorrow and they will think that’s enough. Just watch. This team is broken beyond belief & Caleb may be another name added to the long list of young QBs ruined by this organization. Everyone has to go.
— Miguel Flores (@THE_MFLORES) November 10, 2024
Ryan Poles on down should be fired. He gave you this crappy coach, failed to fire Flus when he lost winnable games last year, built this dreadful OL and bragged about OL depth. Hired this fraud of an OC. Let’s clean house GM, HC, OC. Fire them all and make a statement.
— BearsBlitz (@BearsBlitznet) November 10, 2024
So, the whole "they never fire a coach during the season..." thing. Whether is Eberflus, Waldron or both somebody has to go. Now! #Bears
— Ryan Baker (@RyanBakerMedia) November 10, 2024
If the Bears don’t fire Eberflus after this game I am legitimately #done
— Dean (@Cool_Deans) November 10, 2024
I’m serious, I’ve never said we needed to make changes mid season, but if the @ChicagoBears don’t fire, AT LEAST Waldron, but should fire Eberflus as well, I think I’m done as a Bears fan after 44 years of my life.
— Chris Schiele (@SCHIELE1532) November 10, 2024
The #Bears just look defeated, tired, and uninterested. Fire Flus & Waldron tomorrow after this loss. It’s over. Get rid of them now. You’re not making the playoffs so try to bandaid the o-line, & commit to the run before you ruin Caleb for good.
— Kevin (@KTRedbirds) November 10, 2024
The most infuriating part about this is once the game is over the bears coaching staff and FO will blame injuries as their get out free card. It’s so bears…just fire both your head coach and OC. Be normal for once. pic.twitter.com/y3Fa8sHnA3

I’m a broken record when saying the #Bears need to fire someone.
Two whole games without scoring a TD is a feat that gets 99% of coaches fired.
It’s a waiting game at this point. How long the wait, nobody knows.— Erik Duerrwaechter (@EDuerrwaechter) November 10, 2024
Tomorrow will really be the biggest test in the "would they fire a coach in-season" that we've ever seen with the Bears.
