Bears' Keenan Allen Calls Out Eberflus After Absurd Explanation On Lions Loss
Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen has publicly criticized head coach Matt Eberflus after the team's embarrassing 41-10 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Allen's Criticism
"His explanation after the game was absurd," said Allen. "He said we didn't execute, but we ran the same plays we've been running for weeks. The problem is not with the players; it's with the coaching."
Allen went on to say that Eberflus's play-calling was predictable and unimaginative, allowing the Lions defense to dominate the game.
Eberflus's Response
In response to Allen's comments, Eberflus defended his coaching style, saying that the players need to execute better.
"I understand Keenan's frustration," said Eberflus. "But we need to stick together as a team and find a way to win."
However, many within the organization believe that Eberflus is out of his depth and that his coaching style is not suited for the NFL.
Ownership's View
The Bears' ownership has not yet publicly commented on Allen's criticism, but it is believed that they are concerned about the team's performance under Eberflus.
The Bears have lost six of their first eight games, and there is growing pressure on Eberflus to turn things around or face the possibility of being fired.
Potential Outcomes
If the Bears continue to struggle, it is possible that ownership will fire Eberflus and hire a new head coach.
However, it is also possible that the Bears will give Eberflus more time to prove himself. The team has a difficult schedule remaining, but if they can manage to win a few games, it may be enough to save Eberflus's job.
