With a little more than 75% of the season in the rearview mirror, it’s time to take a long, hard look at the power rankings I’ve done to this date and say it’s time to face some truths. I gave too much credit for past success to the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. […]

All good things must come to an end. But even if they do, there are good things to glean from those things that come to an end. At least that will be my stances after the Chicago Bears’ 5 game winning streak came to a halt at a frigid Lambeau Field. A game that saw […]

The Chicago Bears only allowed one sack against the Green Bay Packers, and Green Bay’s 186 million dollar man didn’t get it. But don’t think that Micah Parsons didn’t have his fingerprints all over the game. The 26-year-old Parsons is going to be a problem the Bears have to deal with for a while, but […]

The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers… again. The feelings coming off the loss on Sunday were tough, no doubt about it. When Caleb Williams’ pass floated into the hands of Keisean Nixon and ended the Bears’ final drive, there’s no other way to slice it, it was deflating. The Bears kept finding […]

1. I must admit, I’m a little shocked at how much everyone is praising the Chicago Bears for losing so competitively to the Green Bay Packers. Of course, I agree the Bears played well, especially in the second half. But eventually, we have to get to a point where we expect the Bears to win […]

The Bears’ five-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday with their 28-21 loss to the Packers. Though Chicago stills sit at 9-4, they are no longer in first place of the NFC North and find themselves a game away from being on the outside looking in on the playoff race. That goes to […]

Another loss to the Green Bay Packers for the Chicago Bears, but it didn’t feel like a typical loss. Chicago lost by a touchdown on the second-to-last play of the game. Somehow though, it wasn’t a gut-wrenching, nut punch of a loss like so many that came before. Is it because the Bears get a […]

A split with the Green Bay Packers always seemed likely heading into the 2025 season, so the good news for the Chicago Bears is that it’s still a plausible outcome despite the team’s loss on Sunday in Green Bay. Heck, the Bears might still have a chance to emerge 2-1 against Green Bay this year. […]

The Chicago Bears fell behind against the Green Bay Packers, but they kept chipping away until they eventually tied it up at 21. But Green Bay answered, and while the Bears managed to drive down to the red zone, they ultimately couldn’t find a way to earn a sixth come-from-behind win on the season. The […]
