Players are starting to give up. DJ Moore literally walked off the field mid play with no signs of a bad ankle. Poles is losing the locker room the long Flus is HC and Waldron is OC.
It will be interesting to watch what actually does happen over these next 10 games. I've gotta believe this Patriots game is a must-win game. But even if they do win it, people will write it off as a powderpuff opponent that we beat.
well, it IS a soft opponent. The kind we have been able to win against. People will say that because it's true

I am seeing the same here. Poles is saying Flus will stay no matter what. If that is the case, then for the first time, I am ok with letting Poles go and allowing him to protect Flus somewhere else
I'm not sure CW will be ok after this season. For sure he won't survive two. At some point Flus will have to be fired and then we will be having to find another QB. The franchise will be on life support at that time.
Sounds like Poles and Flus might be getting ready to scapegoat Waldron and other coaches. They just did that and nothing changed. Hello? Anybody home and paying attention? How many times do you do that?

Must win games are over. Flus has to go after this season. Same with Shane.

You might be right but that won't fly. No one is going to accept that as an excuse. It will widely seen for what it is--a cop-out and CYA move.
I think it will come down to whether they win 9 games or 8 games. If it is 9, they can get away with just scapegoating Waldron. If it is 8, Eberflus is fired also. If it’s 7, Warren should fire them all, but I’m not predicting that.

Flus pretty much has to win the next 3 to get back seriously into the playoff race.
Can you come up with a scenario whereby the team is not doing that well but Caleb is looking good and ascending so Flus gets to stay? I suppose you can.
Beyond that, I can't see how Flus survives without a miracle like I said above (winning the next 3, finishing 4-2 or better in division, Caleb improving well). I don't care if he has 2 years left on his contract or 1. If in January it still looks like Caleb Williams is being screwed up, Flus and Waldron are dead men walking.
I wouldn't be shocked if Waldron got canned in-season if this continues as Flus is gonna get increasingly desperate to save his own ass. That might be his last-ditch move. If we lose to NE Sunday, especially if Maye outplays Williams that game, Waldron might be gone in short order.
These guys, both of them, have been a total disaster the first half of this season. Remember its a miracle we aren't 3-5 right now. We only beat Tennessee by sheer luck and a great defense. The offense was terrible.

It is going to be very interesting. I could see one (just one) possibility where the team is so embarrassing they HAVE to fire Eberflus and eat some serious money (not just 'Flus but this fairly large coaching staff... more than two dozen coaches). Consequently the team could go cheap on the new coaching staff. I'm not saying the Bears are cheap. I'm saying there may be enough of a financial hit here (two remaining seasons on 'Flus contract alone) that they go cheap and get a crap coaching staff again. They will be throwing the fans a bone to shut them up for a couple years that way and not break the bank.
This is why I'm not worried about firing everyone, but VERY worried about the hiring of the new guys. That is the cycle of failure here, the failure to hire good coaches. Doesn't mean you don't fire 'Flus. Just saying I'm not getting my hopes up that anything really changes after he's fired.
