Ultimate Chicago Bears Fan Page

It’s all too familiar to us Chicago hopefuls. After each emotional rollercoaster, we tell ourselves it couldn’t possibly get any worse, but somehow, it always does. I went into the Thanksgiving game hoping the Bears could at least make it a good show. They did for a moment, and they reeled me in, only to leave me beside myself.

The Lions dominated the first half, taking a 16-0 lead into halftime. Lead by the best offensive line in the NFL , it seemed certain a blow out was in store as they’ve done to all of their opponents. They’re boasting a crazy +180 in point differential with 74 points between the next closest team.

Then, right on queue, the Bears teased us. Caleb Williams led a great touchdown drive, bringing the score to 16-7, and if only for a moment, we dared to believe a comeback was possible. But in true Bears fashion, when it’s crunch time, they crumble. (Pun intended) The nail in the coffin came in those final 30 seconds. With the game, and season on the line, the Bears failed to execute.

It’s a painful, all-too-familiar trend for the Bears. Every time we think they’ve turned a corner, they throw us off the cliff at the precipice of hope. This loss adds to the long list of gut-wrenching defeats that have defined the past few seasons. At this point, it feels like every time we think we’re in it, we’re just being set up for another fall. The rollercoaster keeps going, and I’m not sure how much more I can take.

It finally happened. The Bears have fired Matt Eberflus, a move that was painfully overdue before the season even started. Watching this team slowly fall to irrelevancy after that crushing loss to the Commanders has made it Eberflus couldn’t work long term. This latest collapse against the Lions was just the icing on the cake—a meltdown so complete that it demanded action.

Let’s be real—this move should have happened months ago. It’s no surprise that the Bears found themself in this position after ignoring the obvious signs of dysfunction. Thomas Brown has been named interim head coach, and his work as offensive coordinator has been a breath of fresh air. Compared to the stagnant play calling of his predecessor, Brown has shown the ability to get the right plays on the field.

It’s going to be interesting to see what Brown does with this opportunity. The remainder of the season gives him a chance to showcase his coaching abilities to the Bears and other organizations.

The firing was overdue, the meltdown was inevitable. Are the Bears finally on the right path or are they repeating the same mistakes they have been for the past few years.
