The Bears play on Turkey Day, so we decided to have some fun with this question.
The Chicago Bears face the Detroit Lions today on Thanksgiving. A matchup that has happened frequently over the last several years. So that got us thinking: if Matt Eberflus is coaching on Thanksgiving, let’s have a Matt Eberflus-Thanksgiving-themed question. Have some fun with this one, everyone!
Question of the Day: If Matt Eberflus was a Thanksgiving food, what food would he be?
Thanksgiving is a glorious day of food. There are so many great options here, but there are always some duds. Some people love cranberries, other people would send it to the trash. Green Bean Casserole seems to be one of the most polarizing dishes on the table.
But there are so many options to try to decide what food Eberflus would be. What about the rolls that are forgotten and someone at dinner goes “Is something burning?” And the cook of the day runs to the kitchen and pulls out the charred rolls.
I once had a relative make mashed potatoes where they just boiled the potatoes, threw them in a stand mixer, put in a splash (and I mean splash) of skim milk with 5 lbs out of potatoes, and added no salt, no cream, nothing. I never knew mashed potatoes could be bad, but here they were.
There are plenty of options. So take a minute, have some fun, and tell us, what Thanksgiving food Matt Eberflus would be.
My answer: He’s a turkey. No, I don’t think Eberflus is the centerpiece of a glorious Thanksgiving feast, he’s a turkey in the term of calling someone a turkey as an insult. But when you look at it as a food, I look at him as the turkey from Christmas Vacation, now of course, that’s a Christmas Eve turkey but the thought holds.
In the movie, the turkey is presented on the table. It’s glorious and golden brown (the Flus glow up). Everyone is excited, and Chevy Chase says, “If this turkey is half as good as it looks…” He goes to carve it, and the turkey breaks open. It’s dry, disgusting, and the worst turkey anyone has ever had.

“If Matt Eberflus can coach half as good as he looks…” Matt Eberflus is a turkey. Not just any turkey. A dried-out, tasteless bird that deserves to be fed to the raccoons rather than served at Thanksgiving dinner.
