They've won 8 of their last 9 and Caleb has a respectable 13 passing TDs to 4 INTs. They've got Philly up next and two games against the Packers but this looks to be a playoff team right now.

They’ve played the easiest schedule in the league (by a significant margin) and 6 of those 8 wins have been by one score. Negative point differential

Today they got their first win over a team with a winning record. A convincing 3-point victory against a team with a backup QB

@PHI
@GB
CLE
GB
@SF
DET

The final stretch should fix that record. At least if you’re a Bears fan that’s what you should hope for, because they are way, way too mediocre to be picking closer to #20 than #10

They have played a VERY soft schedule, and the rate at which the defense is getting TOs is probably not sustainable.

I will admit that Caleb has played A LITTLE better than I expected. But the team is still “winning with him” and not “winning because of him”. That’s not what I want from a #1 pick.

There is still 6 games left in the regular season, so I am kind of curious to see what he does with the rest of it. There is definitely still time for him to continue to develop. I still think he will be a bust….. It’s hard for me to see someone that feminine making it as a franchise QB

Typically they've been on the other side of these one score games

I think they can split the series with GB and pick up a W against CLE and that is good enough for 10 wins which I would consider to be a great season for the Bears.

Kind of pulling for him because of the sheer amount of hate that he is getting and Chicago has been bad for a very long time. He has yet to put up a 300+ yard passing game this season so he will likely continue the trend of no Bears QB throwing for more than 4k yards in a season.

I'd check the Patriot's schedule before saying something this incorrect.

Ya let’s talk, if and big if they make playoffs with what the schedule they have left, will be an easy win for whoever they draw first round.

Friday shoulda be a litmus test for them.

35% < 38%

At least be right with attempted fact checks

Just getting to the playoffs will be a massive win for the Bears since they've been in a playoff-drought since 2020.

That sub 3% number does not represent a significant margin. I'd check the English language, baw.

Is drafting after #19 in the best interest of a mediocre team? It would be the definition of a false sense of security

I’m not sure the 2025 Bears are better than the 2023 Bears that went 7-10 in a loaded NFC North

You don’t need to gape every time someone points out obvious mediocrity. It’s nothing personal. Promise

There is no such thing as an "easy" schedule in the NFL. Every game you win is a good win.

This isn't college football.

Just win baby.

If they go 10-7 in a still loaded NFC North, yes

Well that’s just bullshite

When every win is against bad teams and/or it’s all squeaking out, there’s only one way it ends in January

It absolutely can be

Mediocre can even be 13-4, like the 2022 Vikings that finished with a negative point differential before the predictable first round home loss to a 9-7-1 NYG team

It's the NFL. Professional football. Every win is a good win.
