Bears fans are fed up with Matt Eberflus after brutal loss vs. Commanders

The Chicago Bears suffered a heartbreaking defeat to the Washington Commanders, 18-15, where a last-second Hail Mary touchdown set the stage for one of the worst losses in franchise history.

With Chicago coming off a bye week, the expectation is they'd be prepared to face this Washington squad -- especially after having two weeks to get ready. But, for the third time under Eberflus, the team was unprepared and sloppy coming off the bye week, where they're now 0-3 under Eberflus.

Jayden Daniels' improbable Hail Mary touchdown -- and the overall handling of that final drive by Eberflus -- was a gut punch to Bears fans.

“When you lose a game like that, that’s a tough one to swallow,” Eberflus said postgame, although he stuck to moral victories in his postgame presser, where he brought a positive light to a brutal loss.

“I think it’s having a strong mind and a strong conviction of who you are,” Eberflus said. “This is one game, right? I know when you lose on the last play, it’s going to hurt, right? But let’s go back and look at the tape and then get better from this. That’s what we always do. That’s what we’re going to do here.”

With Eberflus failing to take accountability -- again -- and another gut wrenching, avoidable loss to add to his collection, Bears fans made it clear that their patience with Eberflus is wearing thin -- and some are even calling for his job.
