Matt Eberflus left Bears players speechless after latest embarrassing loss

Still fuming about Matt Eberflus? Still trying to find the words to describe what happened in the final moments of the Bears' third straight comically-insulting last-second loss?

Reader, you're not alone. Because not only are you mad about the Bears' process in the dying moments of their 23-20 Thanksgiving loss to the Lions, but so are the actual players! Pro football players: they're just like us! And if Thursday's postgame locker room media session was any indication, they're no longer remotely worried about criticizing their head coach on the record.

"I don't think we huddled," DJ Moore said. "We just got right back on the ball and ran a play. Like I said, I don't know why we didn't call a timeout. We just got back on the ball so fast."

"You got to talk to the people who control those things," Keenan Allen added. "I hear the play, line up and run the play. I don’t know.”

"Honestly, I don't even know," Cole Kmet said. "All of a sudden, I saw everyone come on the field and the game's over. I was kinda, like, what the f--- happened? ... We've just got to find a way to not take a sack there, and unfortunately the clock keeps running. I'm sure the thought process was to be able to get some yardage, then take the timeout, and then kick the field goal. But we were just too late on that. And that ended up being the final play."

I actually don't think this is a big deal – which NFL coach hasn't had multiple team captains go on record with criticisms of decision-making? This is simply iron sharpening iron. When everyone keeps everyone accountable, only good things can happen. And at some point, the Bears won't lose a game in the final seconds because of a boneheaded decision, and it'll be because, like, half the starting offense openly doubted their head coach. Mock them all you want, but that's a unified locker room if I've ever seen one.
