Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! For this 30-day challenge, we are exploring the absolutely worst hot take on the Chicago Bears. There are so many great candidates. The “Caleb is a bust” after his first season. The obsession over Caleb’s completion percentage, trying to take away from his amazing second season spent with Ben Johnson.

But for me, the worst hot take, in my time as a fan of the Chicago Bears, has to be the “Jay Cutler is soft” hot takes from the 2010 NFC Championship game when Cutler was forced to leave the game due to an injury to...

Bears QB Caleb Williams vows to ‘shut everybody up’ by improving completion percentage in 2026

“Stats aren’t always something you should look at,” Williams said on a podcast. “You should look at how they win games.”

Jaylon Johnson back with a vengeance in 2026.

Sounds good to us, vengeance away.

Bears offensive line ranked top-5 in preseason article

Anchored by All-Pros Joe Thuney and Darnell Wright, Chicago’s dominant offensive line looks to become a strength for the team this upcoming season.

Never make the same mistake twice.

In 2018, when the WCG crew did our first all-time Bears draft, I made a whole draft plan based on the notion that I would surely not get the #1 pick and therefore would not get to pick Walter Payton. So of course I got the #1 pick. And I stuck to my plan. And I did not pick Walter Payton.

This was a classic case of philosophical over-thinking. I wanted to go defense first, so even though I landed the #1 pick, I decided to stay defense first, running through our three first-ballot...

Check out BChuk44’s All Bears Historical Fantasy Team – it doesn’t get better than the best.

My strategy was simple in this exercise. Much like the GMs and their salary expenditure across the league today, I focused my attention on QB and rushing the QB.

Everybody knows that Quarterback is not just the most important position in football, but in all of sport. Once I knew I didn’t have a chance on the greatest football player of all time in Sweetness, I pivoted to the QB position and with the quality of QBs pretty dismal for this franchise, securing Caleb...

To me, there is one player who defines what I want from a Chicago Bear, and he happens to be my favorite defensive back of all time–Charles “Peanut” Tillman.

Let’s begin with the obvious, in that Tillman was an absolute technician at cornerback. With 133 defended passes over his 12 years in Chicago, he also has an unquantifiable number of “not worth its,” whereby opposing quarterbacks simply went somewhere else with the football rather than risk an incompletion, a pick (3 per year) or a forced fumble (42 in 12 years) even after the ball was completed. He was one...

Eight of us took part in an All-Chicago Bears Historical Fantasy Draft, and while we want you to determine who picked the best team, the real winner in this exercise is all of us who get to learn a bit more about the rich history of the Bears.

Here are the basic rules of our exercise.

• We each selected 25 players in a snake draft format, with 11 picks on offense, 11 on defense, and 3 on special teams. Anyone who played for the Bears was eligible.

• On offense, we were required to draft a full offensive line,...

My version of an All-Time Historical Chicago Bears team is composed largely of standout players from the Bears’ rich history. With only a few exceptions, each player on my roster is representative of a “special” season for Chicago – be it 2025, 2018, 2010, 2006, 1985, or even 1963. This, along with an emphasis on the 3rd phase of the game, was the inspiration for my team’s name. You may have seen some other teams recently, but allow me to introduce you to an ELITE squad known as the Special Bears Unit, dun dun…

Chicago & Football – Special Bears...

This is my first year participating in the All-Bears Historical Fantasy Draft, and I knew I was up against stiff competition. My fellow competitors had great strategies and approaches that balanced player production and positional value in their drafts. I saw many a coveted player go just before my opportunity to take them. But ultimately, I believe I drafted the best historical fantasy team this year, and in this article, I’ll go over my overall strategic approach to the draft, the amazing players I added to my team, and why you should vote for me when the tournament runs.

It’s been 20 years since the Chicago Bears won back-to-back division titles, and the latest odds from our partners at FanDuel Sportsbook don’t favor that happening this season. They have the Detroit Lions as the favorite to win the NFC North at +145, followed by the Green Bay Packers at +260, then the Bears at +320, with the Minnesota Vikings being the long shot at +500.

We asked you guys earlier this week which team posed the biggest threat to the Bears repeating as division champs, and you agreed with FanDuel, as 66% of you chose Detroit.

The Lions may...

Each day in the month of June, we’ll roll out a fresh topic to get Chicago Bears fans thinking. Be sure to chime in with your answer in the comments so we can all get to know our WCG members a bit better.

What is your most PAINFUL Bears memory?

This one was a bit easier for me simply because it’s more objective than the subjective moment I would change. Meaning, I can pinpoint the moment where the gut punch felt worse than ever before.

Expectations were high after one of the most successful seasons this century thanks in...

My All-Time Historical Chicago Bears team is full of players with accolades galore, but they are also built around a tough style of play that to me defines the history of the Chicago Bears. This in-your-face ethic is to me an essential part of the team’s legacy, and so I present the Bear Essentials.

• By now, you all know the basic rules of our All-Bears Historical Fantasy Draft. We each picked a team consisting of 25 players. We got 11 picks on offense, 11 picks on defense, and three picks on special teams.

The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped!

The Chicago Bears wrapped up their offseason program when minicamp wrapped up and we spoke with The Score’s Mark Grote to talk about it.

Mark discusses Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, the offensive line, the defensive line, and if there is anyone to fill a potential hole in the secondary.

For me, the best part of this offseason program? It was boring! No new coach to watch, no concerns over a developing quarterback, something we haven’t really experienced at all in at least a decade as Bears fans.

To check out the interview and...
