Buccaneers at Cowboys Open Thread!
Yes, it’s back like it never left! An open thread to discuss the Thursday Night Football game tailored specifically for our Windy City Gridiron members! The NFL Feed still has its own discussion post if you want to chop it up with fans of the other 31 teams, but if you only want to talk […]
Should the Chicago Bears Trade for a Defensive Player?
The Chicago Bears have opened the season with a shocking degree of balance. Instead of looking like a struggling defense being carried by an overpowered offense, Dennis Allen’s unit has held its own. Nonetheless, the Bears continue to be mentioned among teams that might make a move before the November 10th trade deadline—especially when it […]
Bears-Packers: Can Tyson Bagent keep the ball away from Xavier McKinney?
Never in my life have I thought of the Chicago Bears entering Lambeau Field as a trap game — but a lot of things in 2026 don’t quite make sense. So here we are, with the Bears on the road in Green Bay as favorites with their backup QB starting. A combination of sloppy play […]
Tyson Bagent Week 4 QB Grade: Jets @ Bears Film Breakdown
Well, Ben Johnson got us again. After spending the entire week refusing to publicly name his starting quarterback, Johnson decided to take things one step further Sunday afternoon. Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent both trotted onto the field for Chicago’s first offensive snap, with Bagent split out wide while Keenum took the snap, handed the […]
Week 5 game preview: Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Shifting expectations are difficult. For years, I dreaded when the Chicago Bears would face the Green Bay Packers. Even in the years when Chicago was good, it still felt like an uphill climb to beat the team up north. In the down years, of which there have been far too many, I was resigned to […]
Bears’ Tyson Bagent looking to build on Jets’ performance against Packers
The Chicago Bears will head to Green Bay this week without their starting quarterback, as Tyson Bagent is set to start in place of Caleb Williams, who continues to work through a hamstring injury. Bagent stepped in for Williams last week against the New York Jets, leading the Bears to a 23-12 victory. He completed […]
Chicago Bears Swift and Monangai Tracker Week 4
At no point in the first 106 seasons of Chicago Bears football have they had two different rushers top 1,000 yards. They came close in 1978, when Roland Harper’ 992 yards finished second to Sweetness. With D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai off to hot starts, I thought tracking a potential first in team history would […]
Chicago Bears News: Bears prepare for Green Bay Packers on Sunday
The Chicago Bears offense had a lot of players on the injury report, and missing Wednesday’s light practice following the two-games worth of offensive snaps they had against the New York Jets, as Chicago gets ready for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Chicago should have the advantage on Sunday, but with a rivalry game, […]

Reviewing the Bears’ PFN grades from Week 4 vs. Jets
Though Case Keenum technically started at quarterback for the Bears in their Week 4 victory over the Jets, Tyson Bagent was the one who led them to 23-12 win on Sunday. The win brought Chicago up to a 3-1 record to begin the 2026 season, and it was a pretty decisive win which saw them […]
Matt Spiegel: The Bears are unequivocally better than the Packers
The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped! It’s Packers week! Not only is it Packers week, but it comes at a time when the Packers are searching for answers, and the Chicago Bears are on a roll. The Bears have won two straight with two different backup quarterbacks and are coming off a dominant performance […]

Chicago Bears Pass Protection Analysis on the Sack Allowed vs Jets
The New York Jets pressured Tyson Bagent 13 times, according to Next Gen Stats, but the Chicago Bears allowed only one sack and two quarterback hits. While head coach Ben Johnson did dial up a few more longer developing plays than in the Week 3 game plan for Case Keenum, Bagent’s average air yards per […]

Chicago Bears Stock Watch: Monangai rising as Swift falls
Sunday morning, I found myself getting nervous. As the Chicago Bears game approached, I found myself doubting the optimism and enthusiasm I saw online from fellow Bears fans. I’ve seen the Bears start backup quarterbacks so many times, I thought. And Tyson Bagent is far less experienced than Case Keenum. Surely, there was a chance […]
Bears-Jets Upon Further Review: A Closer Look at the Referees
Hello Chicago Bears fans! This one is a fun one, as the Chicago Bears dominated the New York Jets and the laundry was one-sided in our favor. Tyson Bagent started for Caleb Williams and threw four interceptions – only one of which counted as a result of Jets penalties. Kyle Monangai ran for 146 and […]
Chicago Bears Midweek Musings: Dennis Allen, Magician
Some random thoughts about the Chicago Bears and other things, mostly football-related as we count down the hours until we get to watch this team play football again: I had to chuckle just a bit at the Dennis Allen love this week – not that he doesn’t deserve it, just how some Bears fans and […]
Chicago Bears News: How the Chicago Bears prepare for the Green Bay Packers
It’s interesting how much fan debate their is about whether Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum should start against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. Ben Johnson is having none of it, having already named Bagent the starter. On another note, it was brought up in Yesterday’s Den, Denmasters Ken & Jack do […]
Kyle Monangai wins his 3rd Angry Runs Scepter!
Following his 30-carry, 146-yard, 2-touchdown performance against the New York Jets, Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai was the Week 4 winner of the vaunted Angry Runs Scepter. If you’re unfamiliar with Angry Runs, it’s the brainchild of Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt, who picks one player each week for physically running the ball while […]

Hot Take Tuesday: Chicago Bears Have Best Coaching Staff in the League
The Chicago Bears dominated the New York Jets like Michael Jordan playing pick-up ball against a toddler. It was impressive to watch. The numbers don’t even seem real. The Bears had more first downs than the Jets ran plays. The Jets didn’t convert one third down. The Bears dominated them on both sides of the […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bears fans and fans across the country.
