The Bears are a mystery to me.

A). Incredibly passionate fanbase
B). Great facilities
C). One of the NFL's founding franchises
D). Clear identity - Run the ball and play good defense


And they constantly screw it up. I imagine really poor coaching is the root of the problem but I have no idea how to fix it.
I would assume if they fire Eberflus - they go after Bill Belichek in the off season

Similar to the Clowns, the issue starts at the very top of the org.

My football fandom came of age in the mid-late 80's. Back then, the Bears were a freaking force. From 1984-88, they were 62-17. Ultimate ground and pound team. Payton, McMahon, Jumbo Covert, Dent, Singletary, Hampton, McMichael, Fencik, Duerson, Wilber Marshall. Seemed like they had the foundation of a dynasty, but they never realized it. That 1985 defense is still the most wicked defense I've ever seen. Now, they're a laughingstock. They've spent most of the last 30 years wandering in the wilderness. Just 6 playoff appearances in that span. Sure, they've bubbled up to be semi-competitive from time-to-time, but they've never been able to put together any sustained success. That's what happens when you have piss-poor ownership and management.

Ditka was an arrogant jackass who couldn't handle Buddy Ryan getting any credit for 1985. Never won a thing without him.

Eberflus: Final seconds handled 'the right way'

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said he didn't call Chicago's last timeout in the final seconds of Thursday's game because he was conserving it to set up a field goal attempt.

Eberflus opted not to call a timeout with the Bears in position to kick a game-tying field goal or take the lead outright in the final moments of a second-half comeback. The Bears' coach defended his game management, saying it was "handled the right way."

Just sayin': Apparently the Bear ownership didn't agree with him..... :lol:

Bears fire Eberflus after 6th straight loss, name Brown interim​

The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Friday, choosing to go in a "different direction" one day after a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions that ended with the Bears' furious comeback attempt falling short thanks to clock mismanagement.

"This morning, after meeting with [chairman] George [H. McCaskey] and [President and CEO] Kevin [Warren], we informed Matt of our decision to move in a different direction with the leadership of our football team and the head-coaching position," said Bears general manager Ryan Poles in a statement released Friday afternoon. "I thank Matt for his hard work, professionalism and dedication to our organization. We extend our gratitude for his commitment to the Chicago Bears and wish him and his family the best moving forward."

It is perplexing, but sometimes it's as simple as drafting the wrong QBs.
The Bengals are every bit as pathetic as the Bears (more so) but they drafted Laura Palmer, Andy Dullton, and Joe Burrow. All 3 are light years ahead of Mitchell Tribisky and Justin Fields who both failed spectacularly in Chicago.

If Caleb Williams is as bad as Fields, it won't matter who is the next HC.

Just sayin': Two points...
1) Joe Burrow is just 4 or 5 decent offensive linemen away from being an outstanding NFL QB with the Bengals.
2) You left off a few more Bengals loser NFL 1st round QB picks, i.e. Jack Thompson, Wayne Peace*, David Klingler, and Akili Smith (all of them actually were worse than Palmer or Dalton).

* 1984 NFL Supplemental Draft

Well, I was just talking about recent (i.e. 20 year history). Bengals also drafted Ken Anderson.
