One week after firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears were in a position to defeat the Green Bay Packers. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams set up the game-winning kick with three seconds remaining. Once veteran kicker Cairo Santos nailed the 46-yarder, the Bears would improve to 5-5 on the season with a statement win […]

The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Chargers were both in need of a cultural rejuvenation last offseason. The former banked on Caleb Williams and an influx of offensive talent as being a sufficient remedy, given that the squad ended the 2023-24 season on a 5-3 run. Meanwhile, the latter chose to make a definitive change […]

The Chicago Bears just keep finding ways to lose. After a couple of disastrous losses over the last month, the Bears found another way to fall just short on Sunday in a 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. After a late touchdown by the Packers put them in the lead, Caleb Williams led the […]

It was American author Kurt Vonnegut who once said, “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” Perhaps this is why after the Chicago Bears’ second gut-wrenching defeat in the last four weeks, cornerback Jaylon Johnson is describing Sunday’s […]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before… the Chicago Bears lost in gut-wrenching fashion on Sunday afternoon, in large part due to a crucial miscalculation by head coach Matt Eberflus, who has just as many heart-breaking, logic-defying losses on his resume than he does wins. Even less surprisingly, after the game, Eberflus is unwilling […]

It’s wild what one play can do to the trajectory of a season. Think about it… with just seconds to play against the Washington Commanders, it looked like the Chicago Bears were on the verge of improving to 5-2 on the season with what looked to be very winnable games against the Arizona Cardinals and […]

As Week 11 approaches, the Chicago Bears look to do something they haven’t done since Dec. 16, 2018: Beating the Packers and breaking their 10-game losing streak.

Bears safety Jaquan Brisker will miss his fifth consecutive contest with a concussion on Sunday. This news comes just ahead of Sunday’s clash against the Green Bay Packers. It has been a long time since the Bears defensive back has been in concussion protocol, originally entering it on Oct. 7. He reported his symptoms himself […]

The Chicago Bears have not had the 2024 season they hoped for during the offseason. Chicago is 4-5 heading into the Week 11 and sits at the bottom of a very competitive NFC North division. The Bears are on a three-game losing streak and recently made a change by firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. It […]

Heading into their Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots, the Chicago Bears had a prime opportunity to capitalize on facing one of the NFL’s worst teams and get back in the win column after two consecutive losses. However, the Bears and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams turned in one of their poorest performances of […]

Many have assumed that the Chicago Bears would be firing their coach for a while but ended up being wrong about the first man released. Instead of head coach Matt Eberflus, it was reported on Nov. 12 that the team relieved offensive coordinator Shane Waldron of his duties. The action drew a series of reactions […]

The Chicago Bears fired Shane Waldron on Tuesday and since then, the rumor train is in full operation.

The Chicago Bears and head coach Matt Eberflus have fired their offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron after a grueling 4-5 start to the season, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Under Waldron, the offense has underperformed compared to what expectations were. They’re 24th in the league in points per game with 19.4. Mind you, they have […]

In Week 10, the Chicago Bears looked rough.

The Chicago Bears haven’t surpassed 15 points scored in a game since their London matchup against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars on October 13, and it’s time for heads to roll.

Come on, join the fun with the Pat McAfee Show as Belichick, whose […]

If it isn’t the Dallas Cowboys, the Chicago Bears have the worst head coaching situation in the NFL midway through the 2024 season. All signs point to the team completely losing faith in Matt Eberflus as the current leader with fans pressuring the front office to fire him. However, if Chicago obliges and ends Eberflus’ […]

It’s fitting that on an “Overreaction Monday” episode of the Pat McAfee Show, NFL insider Adam Schefter would come on and drop one of the hottest overreaction takes of the first half of the season. Of course, with the Chicago Bears offense, nothing is off the table when it comes to ineptitude, even if it […]

The Chicago Bears season has officially gone off the rails. After a pair of inexplicable loses, Chicago one-upped itself on Sunday with a disastrous performance, as the lowly New England Patriots embarrassed Matt Eberflus and the Bears 19-3 on Sunday in Chicago.

The Chicago Bears have now gone eight consecutive quarters without scoring a touchdown. Even in the darkest days of Bears football, this isn’t common.

The Chicago Bears managed to put up a measly three points in their Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots.

A Chicago Bears season that looked extremely promising just a few weeks ago has quickly turned sour. After a heartbreaking loss to the Washington Commanders on a last-second Hail Mary, the Bears were blown out by the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. The team hit rock bottom on defense when they allowed a 53-yard touchdown […]

While the Chicago Bears fans pine away for Ben Johnson to become their next head coach, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and his star receiver are having chemistry issues on the field.

We’ve officially reached a point in the NFL season that fans of the Chicago Bears have gotten to be all too familiar with — hoping and praying that a new head coach will soon be on the way. It happened with Marc Trestman. It happened with John Fox. It happened with Matt Nagy. And oh-so-predictably, […]

Following a disappointing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has seemingly become the embodiment of the frustration and disappointment that surrounds this team. Not only did Moore make very telling comments about whether Bears coach Matt Eberflus had lost the locker room, his commitment has been called […]

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus clarified on Monday that wide receiver DJ Moore’s unexpected mid-play exit in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals was due to an ankle injury, putting to rest speculation about the team’s morale. Eberflus confirmed through NFL reporter Ari Meirov that Moore rolled his ankle, forcing him to leave the […]

The Chicago Bears have dropped their last two games and might have dropped Matt Eberflus’s impact as head coach, according to DJ Moore.

The Chicago Bears are coming off their worst performance of the 2024 season in Week 9, suffering a demoralizing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in yet another road defeat for head coach Matt Eberflus. At least in Week 10, the Bears will be back at home to face the New England Patriots. Just a […]

The Chicago Bears came into the 2024 season with a new sense of life. They seemed to luck out in the NFL Draft, thanks to a pick swap in the previous year’s event, which allowed them to draft one of the best quarterback prospects in years, USC’s Caleb Williams, at No. 1 overall, as well […]

On the very same day that former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was relieved of his duties as the offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders, most Bears fans found themselves hopeful were that Matt Eberflus would make a similar decision regarding current offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. It didn’t take long for Waldron to come under […]

There was no holding back from Matt Eberflus on why he kept Caleb Williams in the game during the final stages of the Chicago Bears’ 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. In the fourth quarter, Williams limped off with an ankle injury, but played out the final drive despite the huge deficit. […]

During the closing seconds of the Chicago Bears game against the Arizona Cardinals, Caleb Williams limped off the field after already being down 29-9.

Just a little heads up coming right out of the gate… as a Chicago Bears fan myself, I can promise you, this Most to Blame column is going to be a little unhinged, not only because that’s exactly how I’m feeling after an embarrassing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but also because I’m positive that’s […]

The Chicago Bears were hoping to go into the locker room at halftime of their Week 9 game vs. the Arizona Cardinals with a 14-9 deficit, hoping they could find their stride and reverse their deficit in the final 30 minutes. But just before halftime, when it appeared the Cardinals were content to run out […]

For the last week, the buzzword inside of the Chicago Bears organization has been ‘accountability.’ In fact, a quick Google search of ‘Chicago Bears accountability,’ will yield all sorts of results, ranging from whether Tyrique Stevenson has taken enough accountability for his blunder on the soul-crushing Hail Mary loss to the Commanders, or whether Doug […]

One week after Tyrique Stevenson infamously played a big part in the Chicago Bears Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders, the cornerback will not be on the field to start the game with his team. Head coach Matt Eberflus made the decision to bench the 24-year-old for one game, per Ian Rapoport. “Sources say […]

The Chicago Bears were feeling good — really good — as they appeared to be improving to 5-2 with a low-scoring win over the Washington Commanders. And then Jayden Daniels hurled a hail mary as time expired, elating Commanders fans, depressing Bears fans, and potentially angering rookie quarterback Caleb Williams’ father. Since the loss, Bears […]
