Kmet tin opportunity these are small things that guys conscionable person to return individual work for. That’s his prerogative. However, nan truth of nan matter is that if a squad is losing its attraction and separator connected a supposedly expansive scale, that is simply a coaching issue. That falls squarely connected Eberflus and his unit for allowing a civilization of complacency to settee successful aft nan Bears’ caller three-game winning streak.

The Bears person now mislaid 4 games wherever they had a winning percent of astatine slightest 90 percent successful nan closing moments making love backmost to 2023. Mix that up pinch a franchise subordinate for illustration Kmet saying everyone was being lazy, and you’ve sewage nan look for a caput coach to beryllium connected nan basking seat.

The Bears person 1 of nan NFL’s astir difficult schedules complete their 10 adjacent games. Eberflus amended dream this full gettable Commanders fiasco doesn’t costs him his job.
