The Chicago Bears had an opportunity to show they weren't going to let their disastrous Hail Mary loss define their season. Instead, after an embarrassing first half against the Arizona Cardinals, it sure seems like they've given up on doofus head coach Matt Eberflus altogether.

And after hearing Eberflus' vapid message to his players after they gave up another backbreaking end-of-half touchdown to make the deficit 21-9, it's not hard to see why.

In an interview with CBS's Evan Washburn, Eberflus said he told his players, "This is the score, but we have each other."

I swear, I'm not making that up. It's on video and everything! The Bears really do have a glorified substitute gym teacher coaching a professional football team:

After a week of Bears players openly calling out Eberflus' lack of accountability for their loss to the Washington Commanders, it's really easy to see that they don't believe in him at all if these are his halftime "motivational speeches."

Think about it.

If I'm rolling my eyes seeing that video of Eberflus (remember that I'm just a football writer on the internet), what are talented, multimillionaire professionals like Caleb Williams and Jaylon Johnson doing?

In case you didn't think this before, the Bears' once-promising 2024 season is quickly spiraling down the drain.
