Here’s what Bears fans think is the team’s biggest problem this season

Chicago Bears fans are in a bit of a tailspin right now. It’s to be expected after losing two straight games in as painful a fashion as the Bears have. Losing to the Commanders on a Hail Mary felt like it couldn’t get any worse, then the Cardinals curb-stomped Chicago in a lopsided defeat.

If you’ve spent any time on social media since the assault in Arizona, then you know Bears fans are enraged. Head coach Matt Eberflus has been the target of most of that fury, but I wanted to make sure that he was really who Bears fans were concerned with the most.

Turns out… he’s not.

More than 1,200 Chicago Bears fans voted in a poll I posted on Twitter, which asked what the team’s biggest problem after eight games has been: The offensive line, quarterback, head coach, or offensive coordinator.

Check out the results:

The offensive line was the popular pick, with 40.9% of Bears fans blaming the big uglies for the team’s disappointing performance. Eberflus was next, with 37.3% of the blame pointed at him.

The good news? Bears fans are being reasonable right now. They are not blaming rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who received only 2.2% of the votes. Call it a hunch, but I think those votes came from Caleb haters, not real Bears fans.

As for Eberflus, his seat is getting hotter with each loss, and with six divisional matchups remaining on the schedule, it’s expected to get worse.
