Title: Chicago Bears vs (formerly) Chicago Cardinals
Post by: Reacher on October 29, 2024, 09:37:29 AM
This is it. This is a week in which the dam breaks, or Flus plugs the hole (at least temporarily). Lose this game and the Flus era is over at the end of the season. If Flus somehow manages to win 3 in a row he can still save his job. I think he can get the first two, the third will require beating the Packers. At least they are at home for that one. I’d almost rather have the Lions that game as history says the Bears own Jared Goff.

A lot of chatter this week from media and more importantly players. Not necessarily calling out the coaching directly but implying the accountability isn’t there. I guess “the loaf system” got scrapped? Good (I hated it anyway), but the accountability has to be there. This next game should tell us a lot.

Bears get two home games to start off the division schedule. Minnesota comes to town week 4 of the “Will Flus keep his job” tour. Then to Detroit. Win 3-4 in a row and this season is salvageable. I’d rather have Slowik next year, though.
Title: Re: Chicago Bears vs (formerly) Chicago Cardinals
Post by: Reacher on October 29, 2024, 09:43:15 AM
As far as Flus is concerned, he’d probably be better off if that second division game was a road game. He just about has to go 4-0 the next 4 to save his job.

But we are Bearscentric here, not Flus centric. Should be interesting.

Braxton Jones is out for sure. Larry Borom likely to start, his first week back off IR. Sweat did not practice but Mark Grote says he thinks he plays. Brisker still out. Almost certainly won’t play. Very concerning. Kyler Gordon sounds 50/50

The thing is they absolutely blew it in what was supposed to be the lighter part of the schedule. This is where you had to stack wins before the NFC North rumble. They'll probably beat the Pats next week because if there is one thing Eberflus excels at it's bum slaying. After that, I don't see another win on the schedule.

If you are watching the games you would see he takes himself out of the game. This is not on Eberlose. It is obvious you are not watching.
