Bears Veteran Should Be Booted Alongside Matt Eberflus on Monday
Matt Eberflus isn’t the only person whose job Chicago Bears fans should be calling for after Thursday’s disastrous loss.
To say Matt Eberflus is on the hot seat after Thursday’s loss to the Detroit Lions is an understatement. If most Bears fans had his way he’d be fired today. And as things stand, there’s a decent chance he ends up finding himself fired on Monday as the team begins preparation for Week 14.
But Eberflus isn’t the only one who’s gotta go on Monday. One Bears veteran’s absurd gaffe played almost as big a role in the loss as Eberflus’. And he’s someone whose job should already have been on the line too.
The play that set up the clock management disaster from Eberflus was a sack on 2nd and 20, and it wasn’t some run-of-the-mill sack either. It was a sack that came so fast that Caleb Williams had literally no options to get the ball away or avoid the pressure. And that was thanks to one of the worst plays of the game coming from Larry Borom at right tackle.
Borom already looked like he probably shouldn’t be on the roster before the game. His 48.7 offensive grade from PFF was the fifth-worst on the team, and lined right up with his 48.0 in 2023. He hasn’t played enough snaps to qualify for the leaderboard this year, but in 2023 that grade had him ranked 74th among 81 graded tackles in the NFL.
