I don't think it's ever happened. not with the same team.
the best case scenario would be stringing together all the skills and powers to actually defeat the Packers to squash their playoff hopes. I don't see it happening, but stranger things have happened. finishing against the Lions would also be a step in the right direction.
did you ever think you'd see the Bears finish 3-3 in the division again?

Unless you can get Jim Harbaugh, yes.
Let's not conflate that as an endorsement of Eberflus, which all signs and performance so far points to being fired, but winning out puts them at 9-8 and only the second winning season for the Bears since Lovie, and most likely a wildcard berth, and you're not going to trade that in for another unknown head coach.
That basically means he's pulled the opposite of a Trestman, and he'd get a shot to follow it up with season 3.

At that point, I would definitely pay closer attention to bears games. Or at least the sidelines

Of course not - Flus is under contract that states Flus is the HC - If the Bears break the contract by firing him as HC - The Bears are still on the hook for the salary. If they wanted to bring him back as DC it would have to be under a new HC and a different contract as a DC-
There is no demoting in contracts - Very specific in duties and responsibilities- Who in the fk would sign something that says;“Yea I’m good if you all want to demote me”?

This is how it works.
The Bears blow a few games in a row and make unforgiveable mistakes (both players & coaches), and everyone calls for mid-season firings.
The Bears win ONE game, and let's bring everyone back.
Remind me. In two seasons, has Eberflus ever had a winning streak?
Remind me. How has Getsy's offense looked?
1-9 against NFC North teams. That's taking the North and never giving it back, baby!
Seriously, if these guys had to re-interview for their jobs, who's coming out of that saying, "Yes! That's the guy who's taking us to a Super Bowl!"

TO me if they win out it means the coaches and Fields improved a lot. It would also be a higher win result than what was expected.

Eberflus has never had back to back wins as a Bears coach.
Last time the Bears won 4 or more in a row was 2018. So the concept of "winning out" is hilarious at this point.

We sure as shit aren't winning out, but I could see us beating for instance the Browns without Watson and the Vikings without Cousins (again) and the coaching staff trying to say that the needle is pointing up. I just hope Poles/Warren doesn't buy that.

Seeing that the last time that the Honey Bears were on the field was Super Bowl XX, Ginny might decide that it is a good idea, after watching The Golden Bachelor, for 60+ year old women to find love in their golden years.
What I found interesting is the The Honey Bears became the Lovabulls, making them one of very few groups of people who were involved in, as the Honey Bear director Cathy Core said,
"Not many people can say they've been involved with two franchises in different sports where both teams won a world championship," Core told the Tribune back in 1997. "That's something I'm very proud of."

I agree with almost everything, but this one.
To me, he represents the team perfectly.
How can a mediocre Flus represent a mediocre team any better?

God no. It would be so Bears to do that but you dont let a handful of wins at the end of the season against dregs and teams that have given up on the year change what was a blown season/disaster when the games mattered.

Can the Bears be innovators?

My favorite teams
I want the coaches gone.
I'm honestly tired of playing the "well, since the Bears are stupid, what OC could we get?" game.
I want the Bears to get the coaching and staff right for once in my lifetime.

How many times do you think the Bears will get to play the Vikings again this season? They’ve already faced them twice. I doubt the nfl is going to let the Bears be an exception, shuffle the schedule, and let the vikes and bears duke it out in a field goal competition more than the divisional requisite two times a season.

That's like asking if a 300 lb chick lost 150 lbs would she be attractive. It's so unlikely that I will address that when it happens.

You really aren't following the semaglutide craze overtaking the nation these days.

I'm out on Flus and have been for awhile now. We need an offensive minded HC to help develop either Fields or his replacement. It's time to move on.
