Justin Fields and Josh Dobbs capped a week littered with awful QB play

There are far more important things to be thankful for in this world than being a fan of an NFL team with consistent quarterback play. Beginning with that caveat, many Americans do spend a lot of hours watching football. The product is exponentially better when the quarterbacks are above average....

You think Monday night was bad? I watch these Bears every week

In the end, the Chicago Bears screwed up what could have been something historic. Last week they managed to be the first team to lose while winning the turnover battle by three and holding the ball for 40 minutes. They had the chance to do it two weeks in a row and live forever. Instead, they’re jus...

Firing Frank Reich isn't going to fix the Carolina Panthers

In 1995, the Carolina Panthers had the best season of any expansion franchise in the history of the NFL. They went 7-9 during a year in which they did not have a home stadium, and played those eight games at Clemson. The next season they went 12-4 and played in the NFC Championship Game, and the 200...

A lot of NFL teams tanking for Caleb Williams already have a QB

If you’ve found yourself noticing more bad football than usual in the NFL, you’re not wrong. After five weeks, there are seven teams with one win or fewer, and none of them are the New York Jets, Houston Texans, or Washington Commanders. The New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, ...

Trade talk is the nadir of sports journalism

Imagine being a Chicago Bears fan — I know empathy is hard, but just try — and going through what they did Thursday only to open ESPN on Friday and see a bunch of misguided, braindead analysts talking about trading Justin Fields. Over his past two starts, the Chicago QB is 43-for-64 for 627 yards wi...

Dick Butkus, Bears Hall of Famer, dead at 80

Welcome to Deadspin’s IDIOT OF THE MONTH, beautiful reader! We’ve got a good one for you this time. ...

The Chicago Bears haven’t won a playoff game since Lovie Smith. Their next head coach should be Black

If you pass on an established Black head coach and don’t bring in the best offensive coordinator in the NFL — who also happens to be Black — it means the white guy you hired better be good. Well, Matt Eberflus sucks, Eric Bieniemy is still one of the best play-callers in the game, and Jim Caldwell i...

The Bears and White Sox are studies in how NOT to handle a PR crisis

It’s a rough time to be a fan of Chicago sports. ...

The Chicago Bears are what the Seventh Circle of Hell must feel like

The Chicago Bears will never NOT make the wrong decision (Updated)

The Chicago Bears are 0-4 to start the season. It’s certainly not the first time the “Monsters of the Midway” have started the season with multiple losses. After all, we lived through the John Fox era, but somehow, after several seasons of big expectations, and devastating results, this season’s sta...

Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions won a game that mattered

Sometimes overreactions are appropriate. And in the case of Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions, they’ve earned every hysterical and asinine hot take fans and analysts will make about them Friday morning — and maybe throughout the rest of the season. It’s time to drink the Kool-Aid. The Lions are leg...

Caleb Williams can return to USC instead of playing for the NFL team with the No. 1 overall pick

Caleb Williams’ father is absolutely right. Carl Williams talked to GQ’s Sam Schube for a profile about his son. He said that the NFL Draft system is “completely backwards.” After years of playing and training with the best programs at each level of football, Caleb is now forced to go play for the w...

Nathan Peterman makes Bears roster after all as white mediocrity remains undefeated [Updated]

Update Aug. 31: After cutting Nathan Peterman in favor of undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent out of DII Shepherd University, the Chicago Bears have added the former to the 53-man roster. Both will serve as backups to Justin Fields....

Jordan Love seems a bit confused on Bears-Packers rivalry

The Jordan Love era has begun in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers now playing for the New York Jets, and it might already be off to a lousy start months before any real games are played. Love posted a quick Twitter video wishing Chicago Bears fans a happy Father’s Day. If that isn’t weird enough, it’s u...

So you traded the No. 1 pick — now what, Chicago?

The Chicago Bears failed in the most ideal way possible last season. They finished with the worst record in the NFL, and still found a way to unleash breathtaking athleticism from Justin Fields. ...

Echo Kellum's mixed feelings on Chicago Bears owners & new stadium

Chicago just took everything from Carolina and then asked for Moore

It had been long rumored that the Chicago Bears were going to move off the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. In such a quarterback-heavy class, a team with a solid situation under center was destined for a great haul in exchange for a top draft pick. While most experts assumed the Indianapol...

Here are the most likely suitors for the Chicago Bears' No. 1 overall pick

The NFL belongs to the Chicago Bears for the next two months, regardless of whatever revelation Aaron Rodgers has. They have pocket aces, the Big Joker, Draw Four, whatever your card game of choice is, the Bears have the best hand — the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. It appears likely that the...
