What's Going On Chicago?

Bears Offense is still not in sync, the Offensive line is still terrible, the Coaching staff is not in sync, and the Defense can't make a stop when they need to.  This "dominant" Bears defense could not stop the run and the Colts get their first win of the season.  There were some improvments, but even then the Bears couldn't come up with a win.  The Rams are struggling with injuries and come to town to face off against this disoraganized team.

The Bears have so many problems, but the biggest is the offensive line.  Caleb Williams was sacked 7 times, and the Bears couldn't do anything on offense.  As the Bears lick their wounds they simply need to do better to have a chance.  If they don't they will come home with the imprint of a horseshoe on their face. 

The Chicago Bears offense did absolutely nothing.  That won't work out well in Houston if they can't improve immensely this weekend.  The Defense & Special teams played extremely well, especially in the second half.  Can that momentum continue against a high-powered Texans offense?  If there is any hope to take a win in Houston, the defense will need to, as well as the offense takes a big step forward.

The time is now!  The season literally kicks-off today!  I took some time to go through my predictions for the season and went through the Titans game.  The Caleb Williams era begins today.  He has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, but will the jitters get to him finally is the answer.  If the pressure does get to him will the defense be able to answer and help the Bears seal a win in the season and home opener!  There are a lot of question marks, excitement, and anticipation! 

The NFL has released the schedule for the upcoming season!  With all the major changes the Bears have made, can they make the playoffs?  Training camp hasn't happened, and final acquisitions have yet to come, but everyone is making their own predictions for this very tough NFC North Division. 

The Chicago White Sox have a long season ahead of themselves.  However, the Northside Cubs are sitting at number 1 in the division, and might be in the perfect spot for when the All-Star break comes in July.  With over a month until that time, both teams have some things to work on.  The season is so long that even the last place White Sox could make a push for the playoffs, but if you consider making that bet you might want to wait.

Not a lot of surprises in the NFL Draft, but a lot of excitment.  Ryan Poles, and the Bears organization, might have altered the course of this 100+ years-old football team!  Let's break it all down!

Chicago has finally answered the great Justin Fields question, and sent him to Pittsburg!  The Bears did the right thing to make him a Steeler, and give him a home where he wanted to go.  GM Ryan Poles might have been able to get more, however, it seemed he did what was best for Fields, and not for draft capital.  Now the only question is, who will the Bears draft?  With the number one pick in the draft, there are plethra of QB's available.  When QB's are drafted, they walk into a tough situtation.  The Bears look like they are set up to start winning off the bat.  Will it be Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, or someone else?  Most seem to think it will be Williams the Bears choose, but if Poles has taught us anything, he is not the most predictable GM in the NFL.

The Bears sign Free Agent D'Andre Swift to take over as the starting running back, Jaylon Johnson gets his contract, and Kevin Byard signs two year contract to take over as starting Free Safety.  The Cubs and Sox are getting ready for the season to begin.  The Chicago Bulls have a 5 game stretch where they could win all of them, to get ready for the playoffs.  And the Blackhawks are just ready for the season to end.

The Chicago Bears made a trade for Ryan Bates to help their offensive line.  As the Bears lose yet another draft pick for Bates, one wonders if the Bears might have a bigger haul in Free Agency this year.  As the new NFL year begins on March 13 at 3:00PM, there are some valuable players that are looking for new homes.  

Coming off the All-Star break, the Bulls haven't been the best.  They are 1-2, and at the very least should be the opposite.  With inaccurate 3-point shots and bad plays, the Bulls need to forget that loss to the Detroit Pistons.  It is hard to know you lost to the second worst team in the leauge, but they need to get back on track.  With their playoff hopes still alive, they have two tough games coming up including tonight when the Cleveland Cavaliers come to visit.

The embarrasing Blackhawks are so hard to watch, but the only reason to watch the Hawks just came back on the ice!  The rookie sensation is just three games back from his injury that kept him off the ice for over a month.  Not only was he leading the team in stats before he was injured, but in just three games he has 2 goals, 4 assist, 8 points, and looks to be even better than before.

Until a trade or the draft, no one knows the answer of what the Chicago Bears will choose to do at the Quarterback position.  Caleb Williams most undoubtedly will be the number one overall pick in the draft, the only question will it be, the Bears or someone else?

Two more Chicago Bears are honored, forever, into the Hall of Fame!  Well deserved and long awaited, both Steve "Mongo" McMichael, and Devin Hester "You Are Ridiculous" made the 2024 Hall of Fame Class.  McMichael played 13 years in the NFL, 12 with Chicago, and Hester played 7 season in the NFL, and 6 with Chicago.

I have realized after nearly 10 years, I've never properly introduced myself.  So this one is about me, to connect with you on a more personal side.  So I introduce myself, and things to come in this new chapter of "What's Going on Chicago?"  

The Chicago Bears have officially hired Erik Washington as Defensive Coordinator!  Washington, who is familiar with the Bears Organization is coming from the Buffalo Bills.  Washington's first NFL job was Chicago Bears Defensive Line Coach back in 2008.  Also, the Bears have hired Kerry Joseph as their Quarterbacks Coach, from the Seahawks who worked under the Bears new Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron.  As the Justin Fields vs Calab Williams saga continues, Joseph might have let somthing slip as to what direction the Bears are thinking.

Former Seattle Seahawks Offensive Coordinator is now a Chicago Bear!  The biggest question surrouding the Bears search for their OC was, whoever they choose will decide if Justin Fields is staying or will be traded.  However, with Waldron, it is unclear and the question still remains unanswered.  He has worked with notable QBs and has improved their play.  As the most sought out OC and best option, the Bears offense could look better next year no matter who is at QB, and could look much different in their 103 year history!

The Chicago Bears were awful in their last game of the season as they were embarrased yet again this seaon by the Green Bay Packers.  With questions that need to be answered, two question finally have been.  The Bears are moving forward with Matt Eberflus, and will look for other options at the Offensive Coordinator position.  Now it is a waiting game to see what the Chicago Bears will do to answer all other questions.  Some might not be answered until late April.

The Chicago Bears win their home finale in great fashion!  Justin Fields played, arguably, his best game of the season, DJ Moore had over 150 yards, and Khalil Herbert had over 100 yards rushing.  The Defense forced four interceptions, two by Tyrique Stevenson, and the defense posting 2.5 sacks.  This season full of up's and downs comes to an end inside Lambeau Field.  The only NFC North team the Bears haven't beaten since 2019, now have a chance to get it done.  The Green Bay Packers are fighting for a playoff spot with a win, but the Bears defense is something to fear.  The Packers QB is having a career season, and is also something not to take lightly, this one won't be easy, and will come down to the final seconds to close the 2023-2024 NFL Regular Season.

The Chicago Bears win at home against a terrible 3 win Arizona Cardinal team.  The defense did enough to give the offense plenty of opportunity to put up points, but only did so in the first half.  Justin Fields' fan will over analyze his escape ability, but his below average Quarterback Rating, they will ignore.  Now the Bears must continue to win at home as they face the Atlanta Falcons as they come to Soldier Field for the last home game of the season!  Bears face a team that seems to be able to put up some points, and has hopes to sneak into the playoffs.  This one won't be easy!
