    With the 9th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Bears select...

    Just curious where CCS is leaning. I could see valid arguments for each scenario. including a trade back. But let's assume Poles stays at #9 and the following players are somehow still available. Joe Alt Rome Odunze Jered Verse / Dallas Turner / Laiatu Latu

    First Mock Post

    I've simulated many mock drafts but haven't shared until now. This stuff can really be beat to death but it's all part of the off-season fun, and we haven't had an off-season as fun as this one in.... forever. I love the idea of trading down from #9 to pick up an early 2nd rnd pick while also...

    Any Cap Gurus out there?

    Where does the Bears cap situation stand after each signing? Anyone know a good link that tracks that and updated in near-real-time?

    My wish list (Mock)

    First time messing around with Draft Sims. Figured I'd give it a shot for kicks. Assuming no trades this is what I wouldn't mind seeing the Bears do:

    Who is the Bears' HC?

    Matt Eberflus? Am I even spelling that right? Don't care and doesn't matter anyway. Find it funny how people were losing their minds over that hire, both in here and on YouTube. How could the Bears hire a defensive minded coach when we need someone to guide/mold Fields? [Bill Belichick!]...

    Hope this is a good sign

    Spotted this guy "shuffling" through our neighborhood today. A good omen?

    When you know the season is over...

    Last season was fun and offered reasons for optimism that never materialized in 2019. This season has been such a huge disappointment that the only thing we have to appreciate was the beatdown of the Vikings with a bunch of back-ups in the mix. Last Sunday I opted for yard work over watching...

    NFCN Standings after week 5

    IMO, The Bears should be alone atop the division after Sunday. Cowboys are a much more complete team and, playing at home, should handle the Packers. Vikings may even still be sore from the beatdown in Chicago and could be surprised by NYG. On paper the Vikings should win but I wouldn't be...

    2019/20 Reasonable Expectations

    W/L Record aside, I was thinking about the difference heading into the upcoming season from the prior season. There was a lot of excitement surrounding a new coaching staff and new weapons but we weren't sure yet to what degree win% would be immediately affected. This season the Bears aren't...

    How would you grade the season?

    I'd say the Bears exceeded my expectations and I'm guessing that's the consensus feeling for most Bears fans so I give them an A. I was expecting slower growth and maybe a 9-7 finish with a possible, but unlikely, wild card birth. Looking back at their 4 losses I can say this: No blowout...

    Wasn't pretty but Bears are 11-4

    Trap game is out of the way. Now it's time to put pride on the line. 1st Round bye could still be on the line, maybe even home field advantage. Fortunately no injuries today.

    Another W and 8-3 leading the division. Enjoy the win, food and time with family all! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Soldier Field Crowd

    I haven't been to a game in Soldier Field since the late 90's (before the renovation), For those who have been, and particularly those who have been to other NFL stadiums, what are the noticeable differences in terms of crowd noise? I've been to many games in Seattle and when the opposing team...

    Assuming the Bears aren't bound for the Superbowl...

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves. This isn't the year the Bears go to the Promised Land. If we happen to catch lightening in a bottle at the right time, great, but it's a long shot. What match-up would you like to see and why? I'm tired of seeing the Pats in the big game and would rather...

    2018 Bears / 2017 Chiefs

    I admit I didn't follow the Chiefs too closely last year but I know it was a big growth year for that team and this year they are reaping the rewards. Seems like the Bears are following the same story line. Chiefs finished last season at 10-6 so the Bears would need to go 7-3 from here on out...

    Player Jerseys for fans...

    Fans should unionize to help control things like ticket and concession prices, but also to motivate the team regarding what jerseys they wear to games. Now this is all tongue-n-cheeck, but... How about fans who wear jerseys to the games only wear those of either HOF Bears players or those with...

    I'll start... Haters can suck it!

    I was just gonna let the game play out and not overreact but this is what many of us anticipated. Some chose not to see it coming but this is the dawn of a new era in Bear Football my friends. I raise a glass to you! :smug2:

    Most Intriguing: Players or Scheme?

    For the upcoming season are you more excited to watch specific players or the new schemes, particularly on the offensive side of the ball? In a typical season players would be the easy answer and there would be new pieces added through draft and FA while the coaching staff would remain...
