Bears fans, would you be good with this front office and coaching staff next year?

If you haven’t read Dan Wiederer’s article at the Chicago Tribune — ‘Why does he get to save his job?’ Ryan Poles is in line to hire another Chicago Bears coach. But should he be? — you should go check that out. I’d normally share a few passages and quotes here, but it was such a deep and well-sourced article that I don’t want to take away the tone of his piece.

The Cliff Notes version is him laying out several mistakes made by Ryan...

Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel? Bears Banter discusses!

The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped!

It was an ugly Chicago Bears loss last Sunday to the San Francisco 49ers, and with Bill Zimmerman’s podcast out a little late this week, rather than focus on what went wrong in San Francisco, Zimmerman looks at the big picture at Halas Hall. He looks at Kevin Warren’s role, Ryan Poles’ misses, and whether he should be dismissed. He also looks at the coaching search and how much that loss hurts Thomas Brown’s chances.

This is going to be a wild six to eight...

Our crew is begging the Bears to just put some kind of effort into this game.

The Chicago Bears play a nationally televised game against a Minnesota Vikings team on a six-game winning streak that is looking to clinch a postseason berth.

What could go wrong?

It’s not like we’ve seen the Bears get embarrassed in similar spots numerous times in the last decade.

It’s not like this team, fresh off firing the coach that allegedly the entire team wanted gone, laid a gigantic egg just last week.

Let’s get to this week’s keys. There’s a theme here if you...

Our Reacts results are depressing.

A season that began with so much excitement and promise, which had a 4-2 start highlighted by this franchise's first three-game winning streak since 2020, has soured with two coach firings and a seven-game losing streak.

This isn’t what the Chicago Bears should be in year three of a rebuild.

They shouldn’t have taken a step back after revamping most of the offensive coaching staff.

Our continued hope and support should have finally been rewarded.

There’s plenty of blame to go around, but the old saying, the fish rots at the head, fits the Bears...

We check in on the rookie punter with updated tracking on his last four games

Welcome back to the Tory Taylor Tracker as we talk punting for the third time this year. We will come back at the end of the season and wrap things up, but let’s talk about the third quarter of Taylor’s rookie season.

If you’re new to the series, check out the original article where I lay out my methodology. In an attempt to make it easy to understand, I’d suggest looking at the charts below this way:

The Chicago Bears in prime time, how poorly will this go?

The Chicago Bears are once again hitting the road for a big game with little expectations.

It’s what happens when you lose seven games in a row.

And unfortunately, I’m not seeing a lot in the way of hope from the fanbase either.

The team appeared to pack it in last week against the 49ers. If that’s the kind of effort that fans can expect to see, there isn’t anything to get up for this week.

It’s all just a slog and a countdown to the end of the...

Of the two early front runners for the Bears’ head coach job, what’s your preference?

The Chicago Bears season has been flushed down the drain thanks to their current 7-game losing streak. Thanks to this dead-end season and the dismissal of Matt Eberflus, the next head coach is all the fans can talk about. It’s not just the fans, the media can’t stop talking about it. It’s early, but two names keep bubbling up to the surface in every conversation.

**Question of the Day: Would you rather have Mike Vrabel or Ben Johnson as the Bears head coach in...

The Bears try to be offensive minded, in which meaning of the word?

WE WANT YOU!

Would you like to show your Chicago Bears spirit to the world? I’m starting a feature where Windy City Gridiron readers can share pictures of themselves and their families and friends in Bears attire. Simply email a picture to me at the following address: denmasterken at aol dot com. The pictures need to be clear, and full resolution (i.e. full size from your phone if that’s how you take them). Include any description information you like along with the photo!

All our preview and postgame Bears vs Lions stuff is right here.

The last time the Chicago Bears played the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, they pulled out a close win, 12 to 10, behind four Cairo Santos field goals, including a 55-yarder and a game-winning field goal from 30 yards out with 10 seconds left.

Here’s a fun Santos fact: this season, only five kickers have made more from 50+ than Cairo has. He’s 7 for 8 from that distance this season, which ties his career-best, which he set last year when he was also 7 for 8....

Talk about the TNF game here!

The Los Angeles Rams will travel up the coast to face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:15 Central on Amazon Prime Video, and you can discuss it with us in this open thread.

The (6-7) 49ers are coming off a dominating win against the Bears, while the (7-6) Rams just beat the Bills in one of the best games of the season. This is a big divisional contest as both teams are looking up at the (8-5) Seahawks, and with the NFC being stronger than anticipated, winning...

Join our Bear Bones LIVE at FIVE (CT) to discuss all the latest about the Bears!

The Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings meet up on Monday Night Football in four days, and the last time these two teams faced off was an exciting overtime contest that saw the Bears fall short, 30 to 27. Chicago’s offense did a lot of good things that day, including racking up 17 fourth-quarter points to get into OT.

Join Dr. Mason West’s latest Bear Bones as he, Danny Meehan, and Khari Thompson discuss all the latest rumors about the head coaching search, tackle other...
