Twitter reacts to the Bears not firing Matt Eberflus (yet)

The Chicago Bears fell to 4-8 after their most embarrassing loss of the 2024 season on Thanksgiving to the Detroit Lions.

The Bears ran another play, the clock ran out of time, and Chicago collected another loss.

Understandably, Bears fans and NFL media assumed Eberflus would be terminated Friday morning. He wasn’t. In fact, Eberflus said it’s business as usual inside Halas Hall.

Nauseating, right?

As a Chicago Bears fan I usually calm down the next day after a bad loss. Today? Nope.

Waking up to Matt Eberflus still the Bears coach makes me more angry than I was yesterday. pic.twitter.com/6mgDUPCHZe
