The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped!

The Chicago Bears lost another tough one this week, and now you can make it 11 straight losses to the Green Bay Packers after a potential game-winning field goal was blocked as time expired.

Did Matt Eberflus mismanage the end of the game (Yes)? We asked Adam Jahns of The Athletic and we talked to Adam about several different aspects of the Bears' season including the development of Caleb Williams, the job security of Matt Eberflus and what led to the post bye collapse and Jahns...

Chicago Bears Sackwatch 2024: Week 11 vs Green Bay Packers

Chicago Bears Sackwatch 2024: Week 11 vs Green Bay Packers

Only three Chicago sacks to look at this week.

For most of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, I felt pretty good about the Chicago Bears' pass protection. The ball was coming out quickly, there were some nice easy throws schemed up, and Caleb Williams was handling the blitz well.

They ended up allowing three sacks, but all things considered, it was a positive step forward for the offense under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown.

Getting Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright back at tackle was a plus, and yes, Jones wasn’t perfect, and his anchor issue popped up, but...

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Chicago Bears fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

That’s four losses in a row for our beloved Bears, but the silver lining is the change to Thomas Brown at offensive coordinator provided a mini spark, and Caleb Williams flashed for much of the afternoon.

Unfortunately, head coach Matt Eberflus continued to make a clusterflus out of his late-game...

Report: Chicago Bears bring back veteran safety Adrian Colbert

Report: Chicago Bears bring back veteran safety Adrian Colbert

The popular Colbert gets a round three in the Windy City.

The Chicago Bears were looking at some reinforcements for safety earlier today at Halas Hall as they worked out Adrian Colbert, Johnathan Abram, Terrell Edmunds, Jason Taylor, and Tracy Walker, according to the Tribune’s Brad Biggs.

Late this afternoon, the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Bears were bringing Colbert back to the Navy and Orange.

With Jaquan Brisker on injured reserve and Elijah Hicks nursing an ankle injury, Colbert will provide some veteran depth at the position.

This will be Colbert’s third go-round with the Bears, and...

Hot Take Tuesday: Why must we suffer?

Hot Take Tuesday: Why must we suffer?

The incoherent ramblings of a belligerent Bears fan.

To quote Bill Murray, no, not the Bears’ Bill Murray, the Bill Murray, “Well, it’s Groundhog Day, again.”

Here we are, making it through another week with a Chicago Bears’ L on our shoulders. And yet again, it’s another loss that was avoidable with better coaching, and to rub salt in the wounds, it was to the Green Bay Packers.

Here we are, another game, another loss, and more poor coaching decisions.

How much more do Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles need to see?

Matt Eberflus is 5-17 in one-score games. That...
