Monday, December 15th, 2025, ho, ho, ho, hum, it's a ho-hum kind of wind. If you listened to the audio last week that I did, for the first time in a long time, I predicted the Bears to blow out a football team. I did not think that game would be competitive yesterday, and for the most part, it was not. The Chicago Bears did at Soldier Field yesterday what good teams do at home when they face bad teams late in the season. They blew them out. This is a good team, and this is objectively, inarguably now, a great season. Not only in the win column, not only getting to 10 wins, not only leading the division on December the 15th, but now coming to this point of the year and knowing we have a great head coach who is an exceptional play caller, and we have a great young quarterback. We have never, as a franchise, had those two things at the same time. That is why the future is objectively so high for this organization. But now we stare at the gauntlet of the final three games, Packers, Niners, Lions at home if the game is needed. These three games will define whether this season is just an objectively great first step for a rebuilding organization, or whether this season can be one of the more memorable ones in the history of the organization. That starts with Green Bay coming into Soldier Field-Hobbled Saturday night. These three games and how they perform in them are what will alter the expectations of this fan base over the next few months, because I'm going to tell you right now, have you watched a whole lot of football yesterday and seen all these teams multiple times now? There is nobody in the NFC this Bears team can't line up with and play their game. There is nobody in this conference who they can't step onto a field with and be in the game in the fourth quarter. Nobody. I could not have said that in October. I don't think I could have said that in most of November, but as we sit here now on December the 15th, this team can play with and beat every other team in the conference. But now they've got to show it. Starts with Green Bay, go to San Francisco, home to the Lions in a game that I do think will matter. How they perform in the next three weeks will dramatically alter our expectations for what they can achieve this year, not next year or the year after. That's solidified. We know what they can achieve in 26 and what they can achieve in 27, but now we're fixated on what can they achieve in 25. Because I will not rule out for this team playing in that last football game in California in February. And I won't rule it out because there's no reason to. This is a good football team. And now they're going to face some other good football teams. Let's see if they can consistently deliver against some of the league's best. If they can, we're going to remember this season for a long time.
