The Bears sign Free Agent D'Andre Swift to take over as the starting running back, Jaylon Johnson gets his contract, and Kevin Byard signs two year contract to take over as starting Free Safety.  The Cubs and Sox are getting ready for the season to begin.  The Chicago Bulls have a 5 game stretch where they could win all of them, to get ready for the playoffs.  And the Blackhawks are just ready for the season to end.

Mar 7, 2024

The Chicago Bears made a trade for Ryan Bates to help their offensive line.  As the Bears lose yet another draft pick for Bates, one wonders if the Bears might have a bigger haul in Free Agency this year.  As the new NFL year begins on March 13 at 3:00PM, there are some valuable players that are looking for new homes.  

Feb 28, 2024

Coming off the All-Star break, the Bulls haven't been the best.  They are 1-2, and at the very least should be the opposite.  With inaccurate 3-point shots and bad plays, the Bulls need to forget that loss to the Detroit Pistons.  It is hard to know you lost to the second worst team in the leauge, but they need to get back on track.  With their playoff hopes still alive, they have two tough games coming up including tonight when the Cleveland Cavaliers come to visit.

Feb 22, 2024

The embarrasing Blackhawks are so hard to watch, but the only reason to watch the Hawks just came back on the ice!  The rookie sensation is just three games back from his injury that kept him off the ice for over a month.  Not only was he leading the team in stats before he was injured, but in just three games he has 2 goals, 4 assist, 8 points, and looks to be even better than before.

Feb 15, 2024

Two more Chicago Bears are honored, forever, into the Hall of Fame!  Well deserved and long awaited, both Steve "Mongo" McMichael, and Devin Hester "You Are Ridiculous" made the 2024 Hall of Fame Class.  McMichael played 13 years in the NFL, 12 with Chicago, and Hester played 7 season in the NFL, and 6 with Chicago.

Feb 15, 2024

Until a trade or the draft, no one knows the answer of what the Chicago Bears will choose to do at the Quarterback position.  Caleb Williams most undoubtedly will be the number one overall pick in the draft, the only question will it be, the Bears or someone else?

Feb 8, 2024

I have realized after nearly 10 years, I've never properly introduced myself.  So this one is about me, to connect with you on a more personal side.  So I introduce myself, and things to come in this new chapter of "What's Going on Chicago?"  

Jan 31, 2024

The Chicago Bears have officially hired Erik Washington as Defensive Coordinator!  Washington, who is familiar with the Bears Organization is coming from the Buffalo Bills.  Washington's first NFL job was Chicago Bears Defensive Line Coach back in 2008.  Also, the Bears have hired Kerry Joseph as their Quarterbacks Coach, from the Seahawks who worked under the Bears new Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron.  As the Justin Fields vs Calab Williams saga continues, Joseph might have let somthing slip as to what direction the Bears are thinking.

Jan 25, 2024

Former Seattle Seahawks Offensive Coordinator is now a Chicago Bear!  The biggest question surrouding the Bears search for their OC was, whoever they choose will decide if Justin Fields is staying or will be traded.  However, with Waldron, it is unclear and the question still remains unanswered.  He has worked with notable QBs and has improved their play.  As the most sought out OC and best option, the Bears offense could look better next year no matter who is at QB, and could look much different in their 103 year history!

Jan 10, 2024

The Chicago Bears were awful in their last game of the season as they were embarrased yet again this seaon by the Green Bay Packers.  With questions that need to be answered, two question finally have been.  The Bears are moving forward with Matt Eberflus, and will look for other options at the Offensive Coordinator position.  Now it is a waiting game to see what the Chicago Bears will do to answer all other questions.  Some might not be answered until late April.

Jan 3, 2024

The Chicago Bears win their home finale in great fashion!  Justin Fields played, arguably, his best game of the season, DJ Moore had over 150 yards, and Khalil Herbert had over 100 yards rushing.  The Defense forced four interceptions, two by Tyrique Stevenson, and the defense posting 2.5 sacks.  This season full of up's and downs comes to an end inside Lambeau Field.  The only NFC North team the Bears haven't beaten since 2019, now have a chance to get it done.  The Green Bay Packers are fighting for a playoff spot with a win, but the Bears defense is something to fear.  The Packers QB is having a career season, and is also something not to take lightly, this one won't be easy, and will come down to the final seconds to close the 2023-2024 NFL Regular Season.

Dec 29, 2023

The Chicago Bears win at home against a terrible 3 win Arizona Cardinal team.  The defense did enough to give the offense plenty of opportunity to put up points, but only did so in the first half.  Justin Fields' fan will over analyze his escape ability, but his below average Quarterback Rating, they will ignore.  Now the Bears must continue to win at home as they face the Atlanta Falcons as they come to Soldier Field for the last home game of the season!  Bears face a team that seems to be able to put up some points, and has hopes to sneak into the playoffs.  This one won't be easy!

Dec 21, 2023

The Bears defense can't stop a 38-year-old Joe Flacco in the 4th Quarter allowing them to come back and win.  Not only is the defense failing to play, but so is the offense.  Fields still can't see open recievers, Robert Tonyan dropped a proabable touchdown, Darnell Mooney dropped the go-ahead touchdown for the win, and the coaching staff made some bad calls on 4th down.  The Bears need to lick their wounds in time to host the Arizona Cardinals at home Chirstmas Eve.  The Defense has a chance to dominate, as long as they don't forget to play all 4 quarters.  Justin Fields gets his chance to show he belongs here in Chicago as QB #1 against an obismal Cardinals team!

Dec 14, 2023

The Chicago Bears defense doesn't allow a point in the second half, and the offense keeps putting points on the score board, as they stun the falling Loins.  With the defense playing at a high level, and Justin Fields improving, the Bears have a chance to win in Cleveland.  The Browns are hanging on to their playoffs hopes, and with a red hot, 38-year-old, Joe Falco at QB, it will be a true test for the Chicago Bears to show who they are.  The Browns have a tough defense, and the Bears offense will be put to the test. 

Dec 6, 2023

The Chicago Bears should be well rested after coming off a tough win in Minnesota and a Bye Week.  Now, the Bears will get a rematch against the Detroit Lions, at home who are playing for the NFC North Title, and looking to secure their spot in the Playoffs.  Justin Fields is playing for his future, whether in Chicago or elsewhere, and will have to be on his game against a very tough Lions team.  The Lions seemed to fix their turnover troubles, but still allow late points for teams to come back and keep it close.

Dec 1, 2023

The Chicago Bears defense was stout!  They have shown massive improvment with players coming back healthy, and are #1 against the run.  The offense does not play well, cannot score a touchdown, but Cario Santos was able to score the go ahead Field Goal, along with 3 others, to win the game.  Justin Fields future is still in question, but the remaining 5 games of the season has a chance to finish with more wins than losses.

Nov 24, 2023

Justin Fields has a good return to football, but the coaches took the ball away from Fields and lose.  They played too conservative, and not smart for half a quarter and they end up costing the game.  Now dejected after they had the game in the bag with just over 4 minutes left in the game still end up with another "L" this season.  Bears head to the Minnesota Vikings, who have something to play for as they are sitting in the 7th and last spot in the Playoff race.  With the Vikings season on the line and Fields' career in question this could be another close game.

Nov 16, 2023

Tyson Bagent wins his fourth game as a starter this year against a very poor Carolina Panthers team.  The offense played well enough to win, but the defense played their best game of the season!  Montez Sweat was a big factor in this game, but will need to get some tackles in Detroit.  Ford Field will be the scene for the St. Brown Brothers and David Montgomery show down.  Justin Fields is back at starting QB after his thumb sidelined him.  With a tough all around team in the Detroit Lions, the Bears defense needs to keep the momentum and Justin Fields needs to play a nearly perfect game!

Nov 9, 2023

The Chicago Bears not only lose to the Saints in New Orleans, but also loose the ball 5 times in an offensive blunder.  The defense held their own only allowing 7 points in the 4th quarter after Saints had 22 snaps in the Bears side of the field.  Newly accquired DE Montez Sweat had little to no impact in the game and is looking to change that at his home debut against Carolina.  The Panthers 1st overall pick in the draft belongs to Chicago so the Bears must win in hopes to maintain a top 5 pick next season.  The Bears can get back in the win column when they host the Carolina Panthers kicking off week 10 on Thursday Night Fotoball at Solider Field!

Nov 3, 2023

The Chicago Bears defense can't stop the Chargers, Tyson Bagent and the offense can't get anything going, and the Chargers win in L.A.  Another coach in fired in Chicago, a trade is made for a player that doesn't seem to want to be here, a player is seeks a trade but stays and still isn't paid, and dysfunction seems to keep crippling the Bears.  As the Bears take on the Saint, win would certainly help to minimize the Bears incredible dysfunctional organization.

Oct 26, 2023

Tyson Bagent wins at home and displays he can handle playing in the NFL.  With great poise and quick decisions, Bagent brings the Bears home game losing streak to an end.  The defense is playing better and this week scored on a pick 6.  Fields is out this week so Bagent will get his 2nd NFL start in a much tougher enviroment and more talented team vs. the L.A. Chargers!  Will Bagent keep fans on the Bagent-train or will people be jumping off to get back on the Fields-train?

Oct 21, 2023

The Chicago Bears get back to losing and let one slip away from the Minnesota Vikings.  The Bears defense was good enough to hold them to 12 points.  However, back up Tyson Bagent loses the ball and was brought back for a Touchdown.  Now with Justin Fields out, Bagent will make his first NFL debut as a starting QB in the NFL.  The former division two, Shepeard University star, will have a challenge as the Las Vegas Raiders come to town to face off in Soilder Field.  It will be a battle of the back ups as the Raiders QB, Jimmy Garoppolo, will be out with an injury.

Oct 13, 2023

D.J. Moore who won NFC Player of the Week was the reason for the Bears win.  Justin Fields lit up his #1 target for 3 TDs and one more when to Cole Kmet!  Defense stopped another comeback win from their oppenate and the offense seemed to move the ball.  With some defensive players possibly coming back to the line up and the Bears offense loosing 3 running backs, this one won't be easy.  Kirk Cousin and the Vikings offense is going to look for an oppourtunity to get back in the win collum at Soilder Field.  Consistancy and building off the win last week will be key for the Chicago Bears!

Oct 3, 2023

Bears cannot stop 24 consecutive points against a bad Broncos team.  The Bears only know how to loose.  Even, after arguable Justin Feilds best game in his career, they still fall.  The best thing for them is they get to focus on their next appoinent and don't have to dwell on that terrible loss for long.  Thursday night the Bear will head the the Capital to face the Comanders.  It won't be so easy because even the Commanders, though a bad team, have won two games, and almost beat the Philadelphia Eagles.  Even though the Commanders lost last week, they look pretty hot, and now are excited to face the Bears, who, when they do things right, still do it wrong.

Sep 29, 2023

How the Bears can show their faces is amazing.  To allow 34 points in the first half, and not put up any points until the 4th quarter against the backups is amazing!  Nothing has changed from the coaching, or the play.  Justin Fields is running out of time, and many are calling for head coach Matt Eberflus to be fired.  The Bears now host another terrible team with the same issues.  The Denver Broncos let up 70 points to the Miami Dolphins last week and are looking to get their first win against the Bears at Soldier Field and they have a chance.
