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.

Sep 22, 2023

Not only do the Bears lose again, but they have even more issues after they get home!  Defensive Coordinator Alan Williams resigns with so many rumors, Fields bashes coaches, coaches see improvements, Bears make roster changes then reverse the changes.  This dysfunctional team needs to refocus because they face the defending Super Bowl Champs as the Chiefs await the Bears arrival at Arrowhead Staduim Sunday afternoon!

Sep 16, 2023

The Chicago Bear were humiliated in primetime to the Green Bay Packers!  They looked as if nothing has changed from last year to this year!  They could be the worst team in the NFL.  Everything, top to bottom, is to blame for that loss.  Unprepared is a nice way of saying how truly emabarrassing this performance was.  Only if there is a 180 degree turn, can the Bears Show up in Tampa, and win agains the Buccaneers!

Sep 7, 2023

There is a lot to unpack here.  The Bears finish their preseason, there are still questions about the O-Line, and the reps Justin Fields took in the preseason.  Also, what will the Bears record be at the end of the season with the hope/evidence, we have thus far!  The Bears Superbowl game is week one against the Green Bay Packers!

Jan 11, 2023

The Chicago Bears lost their final game at home against the playoff bound Minnesota Vikings!  With season over, GM Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus had their "end-of-season" press conference.  With the number 1 pick in the draft the Bears have all the power, can drastically change some things, and maybe the arrow will be pointing up for a long time!

Jan 6, 2023

The Chicago Bears were awful, and it was em-Bear-asing to watch.  The Lion's could do whatever they wanted to, and roared past the Bears.  Now the Bears have 1 more game before they can truly hibernate.  They host the Minnesota Vikings who will be playing most of their starters in the final match of the season.
