After the 2024 NFL Draft, several of us at Windy City Gridiron participated in a 21st-century all-Chicago Bears fantasy draft.

What does that mean? Well, eight of our staffers got together in a randomized snake draft to build out a roster in all three phases consisting only of Bears players from the year 2000 to the present. Some people will argue the 21st century starts in 2001, but they can go to hell. It was a fun exercise, both in trying to build a...

66% of Chicago Bears fans are confident in Matt Eberflus

David Banks-USA TODAY Sports

Your poll results are in!

Earlier this week, we asked our readers to answer this question: How confident are you in Matt Eberflus heading into his third season?

As the 2023 season wore on, my desire to see ‘Flus flushed grew. Even though he had the defense playing inspired football in the second half of the season, the three historic late-game collapses were too much. He just didn’t seem like the guy to lead this team into the future.

When the...

Ever since the NFL schedule was released on Wednesday night, I have seen several articles, comments, Podcasts, etc, asking why the League scheduled the Tennessee Titans as the Chicago Bears opener.

Ranking the 14 Quarterbacks the Chicago Bears will face in 2024

We know how well Matt Eberflus dominates bad quarterbacks, but how many will he face this year?

Last season, when Matt Eberflus’ defense played a mediocre quarterback, they dominated. But when they played one of the league’s better quarterbacks, they struggled in almost every game — look no further than the Chargers game with Justin Herbert.
