The Chicago Bears are one of the most historic and winningest franchises in NFL history. Da Bears are tied with the Arizona Cardinals for the NFL's two oldest teams. Both teams' first NFL season happened in 1920. Coincidentally, the Cardinals started in Chicago. The Bears currently have the most regular season wins of any NFL franchise. By win percentage, they're only bested by three other storied franchises (in order): the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers, and the New England Patriots. Elite company. That said, something that sets the aforementioned teams apart from the Bears are the number of Super Bowl championships won. Since the first Super Bowl was played in 1967, the Bears have only won one: Super Bowl XX in 1986 (1985 season). In contrast, the Cowboys have won five Super Bowls, the Packers four, and the Patriots six. Before the Super Bowl era in the NFL (1920-1969), the Bears won the second-most championships in the league. They won eight NFL titles from 1921 to 1963, second only to the Packers' 11 titles. Super Bowl XX was a rout with the 15-1 Bears defeating the 11-5 Patriots, 46-10. The Bears more-than-covered the 10-point spread they were favored by. Their 46 defense, which they popularized, stifled the Pats. That game featured several future Hall of Famers, most notably Bears head coach Mike Ditka and Bears running back Walter Payton. Ditka not only led Chicago to the Super Bowl championship in 1986, but he was also the tight end on the Bears team that won the 1963 NFL championship. Walter Payton, considered one of the greatest running backs of all time, was the offensive star of the Super Bowl XX team. After winning the championship, he had just completed the 11th of what would be 13 productive seasons for the Bears (1975-1987). Linebacker Mike Singletary was the defensive star and was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year that season. However, it was Bears defensive end Richard Dent (from Atlanta, Georgia) who was named Super Bowl MVP for the several key defensive plays he made during the game. Since Ditka's last season in 1992, playoff appearances for the Bears have been few and far between. They've only made it to the NFC Championship Game twice (2006, 2010). 2006 was the team's best season in recent memory. Chicago went 13-3 in the regular season and were led by head coach Lovie Smith, quarterback Rex Grossman, running back Thomas Jones, wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad, and linebacker Brian Urlacher. Like Ditka and Payton, Urlacher had a long and successful career with the Bears and was also inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Bears are currently led by head coach Matt Nagy. His first year at the helm in Chicago was promising with a 12-4 regular season (2018). Unfortunately, since losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wild Card Game that year, his win-loss record has been mediocre at best. read more

This team is finally going somewhere. Caleb looks like a great QB and they have a decent line to protect him. Strong backfield and recievers. Finally things are looking up! read more

I have to say the last three years for the Bears have been the worst. They changed to LEVy food choices this year and I am in different because you don't find local Chicago concession stands like in years past . I would improve restrooms - concession lines and the over all the teams performance! It's way too expensive to pay to see them lose game after game. read more

It's been at least 10 years since I've watched a game at Soldier Field but I have to admit that I like watching them from the comfort of my home. With my snacks, food, warmth, beers, remote control - but don't get me wrong, if I was able to land good tickets - I'd go for sure!! As for the Bears, there's just so much goodness from this team. So many great memories. Here are a few: - we actually spend big dollars for talent (Khalil), that wasn't the case before - we've been basking in the 1985 glow since...well since 1985. The Packers have only won two Super Bowls under Favre and Rodgers - let that sink in for a minute - our defense has always been a strength - even when people move out of IL, they remain loyal Bears fans - the 2006 Super Bowl team was spectacular and Urlacher has hair now Here are a few missed opportunities: - MCMahon's body didn't match his machismo - so we never had that dynasty in the 80s - we've had like 90 QBs in the past 22 years, the Packers have had only the aforementioned two - we didn't come close to coming back to the big game after 2006 All in all, I always look forward to Sunday and watching our Bears. I predict a victory against the Saints by the way. :) Bear down!! read more

I have ben a Bears fan for many years going back to the 40's/50's. There were so many great players too numerous to mention all but there were a few that stand out in my memory, like Blanda, Luckman, Lujack, Butkus and Ditka. And then there is the famous coach Halas. It has been painful to watch the team struggle for many years. Sundays game with the Saints was a real heartbreaker. One field goal early and one touchdown late was exasperating. I really hope that someday they will get somebody in management that knows what they are doing and get some quality players that will help rebuild the team to respectability. read more

Chicago Bears is such a likable team. Why would a New York Girl love the Bears? I loved Dick Butkus the American former professional football player, sports commentator, and actor. He played football as a linebacker for the Chicago Bears from 1965 to 1973. Through those nine seasons he was invited to eight Pro Bowls, named a first-team All-Pro six times, and was twice recognized by his peers as the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year. There's the team and then there's the members of the team. I'm of the opinion you can't have one without the other. Everyone calls them "players". It's a job and a hard one and it's for our pleasure of watching a sport. Players have a lifetime of injuries. They have short careers in the job they love. The Chicago Bears of today hopefully will live up to older roll models like Dick Butkus. I'm rooting for them individually and as a team. Plus they're part of a city that I love! read more

The criticism being directed at Justin Fields should be redirected at the Chicago Bear leadership team. They are failing Justin Fields. Justin Fields lacks and is experiencing: 1. Incompetent offensive line coaching and college draft player selection process 2. Questionable prior strategies and attempts at team improvement 3. Improper Board of Director Leadership 4. No offensive line blocking 5. Lack of a skilled receivers The McCaskey's are a solid Chicago family providing/making great contributions to the greater Chicago area helping improve the lives of many people and Illinois area organizations. However the Chicago Bears will not improve until there is an ownership change. The McCaskey's need to begin thinking how they should transition from team ownership and devote their energies to improving the lives of other people including those around the worldT read more

Chicago Bears "Bear Down" NFC North Division. Yelp Challenge 50/100. Alright I'm at the halfway mark of the yelp challenge for writing a 100 reviews in a year. Whoop whoop Damn, I remember the super shuffle like it was the other day. I was 9 and was moving and grooving at the time. The Bears had a Nasty D that Super Bowl year. Buddy Ryan's 46 defense was the shiznit. Richard Dent was the Super Bowl MVP. I love seeing non quarterback's win the Super bowl MVP award. They kicked the Pats ass, that's what I love to see. It's cool that I got to watch on Tv the Great Walter Payton. Jim McMahon was something else, dude wearing sunglasses looking cool with his headbands. The defense during that era was straight kicking ass and taking names type of D. Michael Singletary and his crazy eyes freaking the opposing teams out. The Fridge, just reminded me of a big ole teddy bear. Who else besides me, liked Mike Ditka always going bananas on the sidelines?. Coach has passion for the game. This year there's a whole new coaching staff. I really like Vic Fangio, he was my teams DC for the past several years. Before that idiot Jed York, tore apart my team. Okay, rant over. Just know this Bears Nation, your defense will definitely be better this year. Your main worry should be Jay Cutler, it's like he plays with no love for the game second who's going to step up now that Brandon Marshall has been traded?. You guys need someone else besides Jeffrey. Do you guys really think Eddie Royal is going to be lights out? Draft a Wr in the first round, that's my take. Then add depth all the way around for the whole team. If the players buy into Fangio's coaching style, then you should be able to hold your own amongst your division rivals. Take care of the division first and everything else falls into place. Good luck Bears Nation, it's going to be a dogfight with the Packers, Vikings and Lions.

Who can get tired of that old "Saturday Night Live" skit? You know the one. Where three 1985 era Bears fans are dressed in jerseys and sun glasses debate the merits of who would win, if the Bears played, say.. fill-in the blank. The one I liked the best was: "God, and his Heaven Choir" playing the '85 Bears. "Who would win? "God... but only by a kick after!" The new Soldier Field is great! But, in many ways I still miss the old place, though I wouldn't want to give up all the modern amenities. LOL Let's Go Bears! read more

I've decided to Bear all and write reviews of all 32 NFL teams, but I can't Bear to do them all at once so I'm going to do it a division at a time. Bear with me. First-Hand Experience: I've seen the Bears beat the Vikings at home and then beat the Lions away, so I think I'm a lucky fan for them or something. I prefer the Packers, but I do love the city and spirit and passion of the Bears fans a lot. They score a solid 4 from me. If they could learn how to capitalize on their past success and bring in the kind of players these fans deserve then I'd give them 5. Their stadium is fun but a little odd, too. Not sure if it completely works. However seeing them live in person is a real pleasure and privilege. Now that I've seen every NFL team play live & been to every NFL stadium (current and former), time to review them on Yelp! I love stadiums! I've been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I've toured America as a musician for 7 years. In that time, I've seen sports games at (or visited when empty, or both) almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I'll upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space! ***back to regular review*** Chicago is freezing and windy. It's also one of the best food cities, like, ever. Srsly. It can be friendlier than your average megalopolis, and it's definitely very much into sports, and a little gentler with its sports teams than, say, NY, and a little more into its sports teams than, say, California or Florida. the Bears are a fantastic team, with a cool looking (but surprisingly low capacity) stadium right by the beautiful lake. We all loved Lovie Smith and we all loved Brian Urlacher (and by we all, I mean Paris Hilton), and we are all grateful that the Bears were able to give Peyton Manning his much needed Floridian Superbowl win in the rain. Even if it had to be to your local rivals down the road. By the way best Pizza in town if not Lou Malnati's is Art Of Pizza. And you have one of the best taco places in America so go and eat there, it's called L'Patron. Go there like now, like, hurry it's that good. And then there's Mario's Italian Lemonade which is the best of its kind I have ever had ANYWHERRRRRE. Also try a Gyro from Central Gyros, and a sandwich from El Cubanito. I think that covers my highlights. Oh if you're up in Milwaukee, try Leon's. Banana Shake and the custard, wow. The only reason Da Bears lose a star is because it has been a long long time since they've been really exciting in my opinion. We'd have to go all the way back and open up the refrigerator to get to a time when the Bears were something to really talk about. But I always like the Bears, and always will. I can't decide which is my fave team in this division, it's a three way tie, and the Bears share the honours. Now my own refrigerator is looking a little Bear so I have to get going. read more

This is our year!!! Ok, it's only about 35 minutes into the first game of the 2006 season, but hey, this is the time when ALL of Chicago unites into one sports team!

Oh, and who can forget "DAAA COACH" Mike Ditka--great player, fabulous coach! We're all in this together now! **EDIT** 1/22/07 We're BOWL BOUND BABY!!! :-) See ya in Miami! read more

I won't lie, I only started to watch DA BEARS and football in general during the '05-'06 playoffs when they got into the Superbowl. However, since then, I have grown to love the sport, and I am an absolute die-hard fan of the Bears, win or loose. There is something about our city and the vibe that football gives off that it makes it the best place to be a fan! Chicago Bears have a great history that will forever live in this city, and no one can deny that, even the haters. Attending a regular season game is one of my most favorite activities, and regardless of where you sit, it's a guaranteed a good time. I've had a privilege of sitting in the second row of the first section, where I was so close to the Vikings, that our booing made Jared Allen turn around and look at us. I've also sat in much worse seats, but it didn't make the experience any worse. Granted, Soldier Field is one of the smaller stadiums in NFL, it has one of the best views of the city and having really cold weather makes it that much more exciting. With our new head coach, there is a much higher probability of getting into the playoffs. Hopefully that will be the case, but if not, it's still a hell of a good time to watch them every week. The only thing I can't stand are the actual fans at times - when I hear booing in the stadium to our own team, I find that incredibly embarrassing. Bear Down! read more

I just finished watching a Walter Payton video on YouTube and for some odd reason updating my Yelp review for the organization popped into my head. I'm still a Bears fan, but I can't give the Bears a 5 star review. I want to fill this review with the most devilish expletives known to man, but I'm not. I just want you guys to win. Bring back the winning ways that I was accustomed to growing up as a kid. Every Bear fan is living in the past and not the future. There is nothing to cheer for. It's sucks watching the first game every season and already know it's going to be a rough year. Just win and do it consistently... Born in Illinois and raised in California. I still cheer for my Bears. Bear down! "Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory. Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.

The Chicago Bears was one of my favorite team growing up. It's not because of Monsters of Midway or Walter Payton and such. Definitely not because of Brian Urlacher and the current Chicago Bears. The name itself sounded cool. The countless years of disappointments and lackluster seasons wasted on the team made me given up on the team. Almost was going to pull for a new team, but I digress. After all, with so much time and energy investing on them, might as well give them another chance. Lo and behold at 1993, I was so excited because they drafted someone I have seen on TV many times. The commissioner went up on stage and announced..."with the fifth pick of the 1993 NFL draft, the Chicago Bears selects..Curtis Conway, WR of USC", I was elated! Of course only to find out that Curtis Conway never really panned out, but it did made me stay with the Bears alot longer. Over the years, the ho hum performances never really matured into the season I had hoped for the Bears. Last season was the start of a brand new era. Win or lose on Feb. 4, 2006... I still love the Bears. The team from up and down seasons I had to endure. My favorite players are Jim McMahon, Willie Gault, Brian Urlacher, Neal Anderson, and Mike Singletary. Of course..Walter Payton. If they can beat the Colts, I'll add Rex Grossman to that list....ONLY if the team beats the Colts. read more

A bit of an odd stadium but nice none the less. The upper level seats go up really high and the views from all the way at the top are pretty bad, so try to not be above the middle of the top section. The food is pretty standard stadium food, although the fried cheese curds are delicious. You get a generous size portion as well. read more

I may be disowned by my family (hardcore Miami Dolphin fans) for giving the Chicago Bears 5 stars, but I guess it's OK since the Dolphins did beat them this year. :) I'm not a football fan, but I've more than enjoyed watching the last few Bears games. Looking forward to see what they can do in Miami....GO BEARS! read more

As history goes there is not much better, but as a Vikings fan I choose games in DOMED weather. I must admit I loved going to Soldier Field way back when... I saw the Refrigerator Perry break his arm then. You were playing my team, the Purple and Gold. We beat you that game, and boy was I sold! You have won it all, and the Vikings have not. So for that you get 4 stars and thats good cause your fan, I am not! But your legacy lives on, and your fan base does too. I forever will remember 85, and some remember 1932. read more

Can't say enough about this franchise. The monsters of the midway rule. Been a fan since 1989 (I was, I dunno, 14?). I even wore #35 as my high school football number, because at the time Neal Anderson (Bears RB) was my favorite player. And I didn't even play the same position. I've been rooting for the team ever since, even in public when nobody else cared. So I feel like a true diehard, since I never knew anyone else who even liked the Bears! One more thing, there's a story that just went national a lady didn't want to miss the NFC Championship game with the Bears against the Saints, when she was in the hospital to have a child so she induced labor early to be able to watch the game. That's because Bears fans rule!! GO Bears!!!!!!!!!!! Super Bowl XLI Miami Bound!! By the way, the Bears convention is coming up in a few months in Chi-town.

The Bears are a storied franchise but this is less a review of the Bears and more of a review of their fans. I was here for RG3s first game at Soldier Field during pre-season. You're an awesome bunch, staying at a pre-season game until the end even though you were crushing the Redskins until the 4th quarter. Most other stadiums I've seen leave those games much earlier. The place was loud, the fans were into every play and being there for Da Bears game was very fun. I'd definitely come back. PS - I love the hate the Bears fans have for Cutler. Hilarious! read more

I have an unmistakable Chicago accent - it even comes across in my text messages. Commuting to my hospital job in a blue-collar suburb only amplifies things.

You're a good team, Bears. I like Lovie. With a name like Lovie- how could you not like the guy (imagine the taunting he experienced in elementary school...). For your sake let's hope a few things happen a little differently than the yawn that was the early game on Sunday: 1) Let's hope that the Bears defense we heard so much about at the onset of the season comes back for the BIG game... 2) Let's hope Rex Grossman actually shows up ready to play this one... 3) Let's hope you get lucky... Or on second thought, let's hope those don't happen and Peyton finally gets a ring! GO COLTS!! read more

I was instant-messaging my group of fantasy football friends and we were talking about Snoop Dogg doing a verse where he compares himself to Dallas QB Tony Romo.

Bears rule. Those big furry creatures that come in assorted colors, including black, brown, white, and orange (as is the case with Winnie the Pooh). The Chicago Bears rule, also. Those big, potentially furry creatures that come in assorted colors, including Vasher, Jones, Gould, and Urlacher (whom I think should really have his own Crayola color -- perhaps a rough, burnt orange misted with a pink hue, to show his softer side). On a serious note: Kristina B. (that's ME!) = Long time Bears fan, even when they're losing. Football is my favorite of all sports and I've been following the Bears ever since I was little. I've always shown my love and support to them, no matter what. It's just really, really, really nice that they made it all the way this time (06-07). Really nice. :) Serious note ended.

I want to apologize. This is important. My friend and I have watched every game so far this year. Hell, all the games last year too. We love us some Bears and we have -faith- in our Bears. We really do. But that faith faltered this past Monday versus the Arizona Cardinals and in our darkest moment we abandoned hope and lost our faith. And we were wrong to do so and so I want to apologize to the Bears because of this. I'm sorry I thought 13 points and 10 minutes was insurmountable. I'm sorry I didn't have enough confidence in you as a team and that I treated you like last year's Bears, unable to overcome even a 7 point deficit let alone 13. I'm sorry I left the bar and went home, only to watch online as you defied every doubter and won the game through sheer willpower, and defense, alone. And I'm sorry for being a shitty fan and abandoning you when you most needed diehards like me. It will. Not. Happen. Again. It can't and it won't. Every game from here out will be watched, at no point will I give up and declare everything lost. The Bears can come back from anything to save the day for us despondent Cubs, Sox and Bulls fans. And the three Blackhawk fans still alive. They can deliver us from desperation and we owe it to them to stay loyal and true. Have faith in our Bears, Chicagoland. This is truly the year of destiny and I'm going to stand by them until the very end. read more
