Matt Eberflus isn’t around to shield Ryan Poles from public scrutiny anymore. Now, the focus of anger from fans and the media is directly on the Chicago Bears’ GM.

He built this porous offensive line protecting Caleb Williams. For all the talk about not repeating the same mistakes made by previous GMs, Poles has fallen into the exact same traps.
