I’m happy they won. I’m glad Carolina lost. But part of me is irked that the same group of people feel this game was somehow a vindication for what Poles has done, how Eberflus has coached, and the way Bagent has played. They won this game because the opponent is bad, the QB was a panicky rookie and they had zero weapons.
the best player on the offensive line is still the guy that was a holdover from the previous regime. Bagent did nothing in that game, and the offense left a lot of points on the field directly because of all the things Bagent can’t do.
they won a game, yay. It’s good to win games, but they might only have 2 more of those left this season. Partially because Eberflus is not a good in game decision maker, and apparently not a post game explanation giver. Eberflus is the reason the Bears lost to the Giants last year and he will directly lose them another game this year too. He’s a clown (go back and watch that halftime interview and his uncomfortable smile) and yet a lot of Bears media thinks Poles wants to keep him here and would be justified in doing so.
Ebeflus and Poles have been good at one thing, putting the Bears in position to draft high in the first round (but not the 2nd). Eventually you need to be good at beating good NFL teams, not just the bottom dwellers and teams about to fire their head coach. These two have not shown anything that indicates they are capable of leading the team to multiple wins over good teams.
