Obviously, we won this game because our Defense played amazing. D-line, Linebackers, and secondary all played lights out. Eberflus is an idiot, but didn’t cower in the final minutes of the game like he did against detriot and called a good defense.

My question is, if Eberflus gets fired, what do we do with the coordination of the defense? I know some people have thrown the idea of demoting Flus to DC but has that ever happened in the history of the league? To me its either he stays or goes with no in between.

Do you think we keep the Tampa 2 style since it’s worked out the past couple weeks? Who would you want as our DC if we do switch to a new staff, and what scheme do you want them to call?

If we do move on from Eberflus, I personally would want an Offensive Minded Coach. If we keep Justin, then hey, let’s give the guy a full coaching staff that can help unlock what Getsy has clearly failed to do, with the guy at the top having a clear idea of how offenses are created. If we draft a new Qb, all the more reason to. But that leaves the DC spot all the more interesting, especially with how good they’ve played recently.

    That’s funny I was just looking at some defensive rankings through 12 games.

    • Bears are 3rd in the NFL now in interceptions
    • 1st in rushing yards allowed per game
    • 1st in yards per carry allowed at 3.4 ypg
    • Top 5 in rushing TDs allowed
    • 12th in forced fumbles
    • 10th in total yards allowed per game
    • Still bottom 5 in points allowed per game
    • Also last in the NFL in sacks despite not having a bye week yet.
    • Bears have recorded 2 or more sacks in every game sweat has started so far outside of the Saints game. Also were top 10 in pressure generated against Lions and Vikings OLs which are both considered top 5-10 groups.

    Players signed next year. (or assumed)

    • Edge Sweat, Walker, DRob
    • DT Billings, Dexter, Pickens
    • LB Edwards, Edmunds, Sanborn, Sewell
    • CB Jaylon, Stevenson, Gordon, Smith
    • Safety Brisker Jackson Hicks.

    I think we could easily pay a Danielle Hunter or Chase Young or even. Bryce Huff, draft or pay another DT for the rotation, cut Eddie, sign a Geno Stone type and draft a guy and have a top 10 defense. Easy to see foundations being built on both sides with key pieces at premium positions.

      Yeah man, tons of people don’t realize this is a long term rebuild and we’re still sowing seeds.

      And holy shit, I just realized that our defense is structured to capitalize on the weakness of the QB position league wide.
