REPORT: Chicago Bears GM over the moon at winning 4 more games than 2022 season

Monday, January 15, 2024 13:39

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles recently bragged about the team’s seven-win 2023 season. The Bears’ win total wasn’t enough to get them into the Wild Card round, but Poles are excited about the leap from where they were in 2022 when Chicago won three games.

The Bears opted to keep head coach Matt Eberflus for the 2024 season. Most fans were ready for the Bears to fire Eberflus after getting swept by a much younger Green Bay Packers team with a better head coach.

Chicago Bears GM defends seven-win season

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus and GM Ryan Poles had an interesting meeting following the regular season.

According to Colleen Kane with the Chicago Tribune, Poles defended the decision to keep Eberflus for next season. Poles highlighted the Bears’ seven-win season as a sign of progress:

“The stability was a big piece of it,” Poles said. “The detail that he coaches with. Taking some of the mistakes from the game, bringing them to practice and making sure that we’re doing things the right way, I saw a lot of progress in that.

“There’s a reason why we went from three to seven wins. The player aspect of it is important but also the detail and bringing the team together. Sticking through those hard times allowed us to push through, and you saw a lot of those wins happening toward the back end of the season.

“If it’s not for him, I really don’t think that’s the case. I think it starts to crumble; everyone starts to do their own thing.”

Mediocrity is good enough for Poles and the Bears this offseason. Bears fans watched two NFC North teams, the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, win playoff games this weekend.

A Bears rival is only going to get better–with a better head coach

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur celebrates as the clock winds down during the fourth quarter of their game Sunday, January 7, 2024 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 17-9.

The Packers pantsed Eberflus in Week 18, and they’re only primed to be better as they mature. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has proven himself to be a better coach than Eberflus. Settling for Eberflus when the Bears need to make big gains this offseason with the number one pick could set this team back.

Sure, the Bears got to seven wins this season. Before the season, most in the national media and sober Bears fans predicted Chicago would finish around the 6-9 win mark. However, the Bears had to make a midseason trade for defensive end Montez Sweat at the deadline to reach seven wins.

On that point, Eberflus refused to use Sweat correctly when he first arrived in Chicago. Poles called Eberflus out for not using Sweat late in the game against the Lions when the Bears surrendered a fourth-quarter lead.

Poles knew what was going on then. But he is sticking with Eberflus despite the signs that there are better options out there this offseason. The Bears quickly shut the door on the coaching carousel with Mike Vrabel, Bill Belichick, Jim Harbaugh, and potentially Mike Tomlin being available.
