Monday September 29th 2025 and four games into the 2025 NFL season we can safely say we can safely say the Bears are here the Bears have announced their arrival on the stage that is the 2025 NFL season that does not mean I'm telling you today they are Super Bowl contenders they are not they do not rush the passer and they have a carousel of players now at both tackle positions on the offensive line they are not I repeat they are not going to win a title this year but they started this season about as badly as you can they gave a game away against the Minnesota Vikings they were humiliated against the Detroit Lions their coach for the first time in his professional coaching career I would say was starting to have the magnifying glass put on and say who is this guy and how have they responded to that very simply they blew out the Dallas Cowboys and for those of you out there who are saying well that doesn't count how the Packers do 40-40 tie then they go on the road this week in what was going to be a tricky game was going to be a hard-fought game Max Crosby as you've seen it's just a hell of a player they're undermanned in the secondary they're undermanned of the tackle position on offense they grit the game out yesterday was about guts and yesterday because of the blocked field goal is about the coach and the quarterback getting the ball five six minutes to go taking it right down the field for a game-winning drive we're not used to that in Chicago we're not used to the coach and the quarterback getting the ball with an opportunity to win the game and then winning the game what we have seen now from this organization over these two weeks is what we had hoped to see when Caleb Williams was taken number one overall is what we were hope to see when Ben Johnson was hired to be the head coach this is different and now they go into the bye week at 2 and 2 and it's very fair for every Bears fan to say get this thing sorted fix the problems and have a real season this schedule is not as difficult as it looked at the start of the year some of these teams that we expected to be good are either injured or they're not that good and this Bears team has guts they have guts how long have we waited for this team to have guts they've got and another thing I'm gonna add because I've harped on this for years they're fun to watch while social media was bemoaning that first half yesterday that first half made sense to me they couldn't block him but as soon as Ben Johnson figured out a way to get him blocked even in the slightest way look at how Caleb was chucking it around getting people involved this is going to be it's very obvious by the end of this season this is going to be a highly entertaining highly productive football team but in order for this season to have meaning they had to get to the bye week two and two they had to instill in this roster a sense that the program was working it's working they have they have two weeks now to get some of these roster problems sorted they're not going to get them all sorted but in two weeks I expect a big effort in Washington because right now if you're asking me are the Bears gonna play meaningful football games after Christmas into January I think they are that's what winning does it instills hope in the fans it instills the sense you know what I did last night that's what we're seeing and as they head into the bye four weeks in the Bears have a season and I can't tell you how excited that makes me bear down
