The Chicago Bears have won the NFC North championship three times since their last Super Bowl victory in 2006 – in 2010, 2018, and this past season. However, opinions on which team was best varied among fans.

Some argue that the 2025 squad had an edge over its predecessors due to recent performance, while others, such as @tribeoc, believe that the 2010 team, which featured a stout defense, took home the top spot. Meanwhile, @JMacchitelli23 is in agreement with @tribeoc, but the most votes went to this year's Bears.

Recency bias seems to be at play here, as fans who follow recent performances tend to favor the latest iteration of the team. However, when scoring differential is taken into account, it appears that the 2018 Bears had a significant margin over their competitors.

Moving on to another poll, Cubs and White Sox lefty hitters are set to take center stage in 2026. Fans were asked which player would have the best year, with Colson Montgomery emerging as the top choice among respondents, citing his impressive power and ease of hitting.

In other news, fans expressed skepticism about the possibility of a Bulls playoff season this year, particularly after their disappointing performance last season. However, with a strong young talent roster, expectations for the Blackhawks are high in 2026.
 
I'm not buying it 🤔. People are giving way more love to the current squad just because they played well recently? That's recency bias at its finest! 😂 And what about stats? The 2018 Bears actually had a better scoring differential than their contemporaries. Don't get me wrong, Colson Montgomery looks like he could be a beast, but let's not forget to look at the bigger picture here 📊. Those Cubs and White Sox lefties are gonna put up some good numbers, no doubt, but which one is gonna dominate? ⚾️
 
I mean I'm not surprised that people are all divided on who's the best Bears team ever 🤔. It's like fans are expecting everyone to have an opinion and it's kinda cool that there are so many passionate folks out there, even if they don't always agree 👊. Recency bias is a thing, yeah I get it, but sometimes those recent wins do give you a boost of confidence 💪. And for the Cubs and White Sox, Colson Montgomery sounds like he could be a game-changer! He's gotta live up to all that hype though 🤯. The Bulls fanbase can be pretty rough on their team though 😩, I feel bad for 'em. But with the Blackhawks looking strong this year, maybe they'll have something to cheer about after all 😎
 
omg can we just be real here?! 🤦‍♂️ the bears are never gonna live up to their super bowl hype lol they're always so close but never quite there 🏈 meanwhile the cubs and white sox are like total underdogs I'm so lowkey rooting for colson montgomery btw he's got that power 💥
 
the bears being champs is cool i guess, but let's not forget that the 2018 team had some crazy stats 🤯. recency bias can be real though, people tend to wanna see what they just saw and love it ❤️. colson montgomery tho seems like a solid pick, power hitter is always gonna make you go 🚀
 
idk why people keep saying that the '10 Bears squad was the best... I mean, i've seen some videos of them and they actually looked kinda slow lol what about the D? didn't they give up a lot of points?! Colson Montgomery is gonna be sick to hit tho can't wait to see him in action 🤩
 
man... i feel like we're so caught up in the now that we forget what made us love the game in the first place 🤯 the bears' recent wins got me thinking about how our perception of greatness can shift over time... it's easy to get swept up in recency bias and assume the latest team is the best, but what if the 2018 squad had more going for them than just a few stats? 📊 it's like, we need to take a step back and appreciate the journey, not just the destination. and btw, colson montgomery sounds like an awesome player... i hope he lives up to the hype! 🤞
 
i feel like people are overreacting to colson montgomery's skills lol he had a solid season but i've seen other lefties do it too 🤷‍♂️ and yeah, cubs fans can be a bit biased towards anyone who hits well... that being said, colson does seem like the real deal 💪
 
I'm so done with recency bias 😩🏈, you know? People are always gonna favor the new team, but sometimes the old guard has some solid stuff too 🤔. Like, yeah, I get it, the '18 Bears had a sick defense, but they also lost to the Packers in the playoffs that year... still not bad, though! 💯 And what's up with all these Cubs and Sox fans hyping up Colson Montgomery? The dude is alright, I guess 😐, but I don't think he's gonna break Barry Bonds' power records just yet... 😉
 
I'm low-key surprised that recency bias is so strong when it comes to the Bears fans 🤔. I mean, sure, the '25 squad had some sick performances this year, but I think the '18 team was more impressive overall, considering they went up against tougher opponents in the postseason 💪. And can we talk about how Colson Montgomery is going to be a beast next season? He's got that whole power and finesse combo 🔥. On the other hand, the Bulls are gonna need some serious work if they wanna make a deep playoff run this year... and I'm not entirely sold on the Blackhawks being contenders just yet 🤷‍♂️.
 
lolol what's up with these polls tho? like i know recency bias is real but come on bears fans u can't just say ur squad was the best cuz they won this year lolol @tribeoc and @JMacchitelli23 got a point tho, that 2010 team had some solid D.

and omg colson montgomery is gonna crush it in 2026 i mean who cares about recency bias when u got power and hitting skills like that 🤯👍

btw Bulls fans are hating hard rn expecting them to make a deep playoff run but they've been so inconsistent lmao. & Blackhawks are lookin good tho, high expectations all the way 💪
 
🤔 I think people can get too caught up in what's happening right now and forget to look at the bigger picture. The 2018 Bears might not have gotten as much love because they were seen as the "older team" compared to their younger counterparts, but they actually did some things really well and had a great season. And who knows, maybe Colson Montgomery isn't going to be able to repeat his impressive form in '26... the Cubs and Sox fans would do well to remember that just because someone has a hot streak doesn't mean it's going to last all year round 🙃.
 
The perpetual conundrum of evaluating team performances over time is a classic case of recency bias 🤔. On one hand, it's natural to favor recent achievements, as they often serve as a benchmark of current capabilities. However, when considering the bigger picture, metrics like scoring differential can provide a more nuanced understanding of a team's strengths and weaknesses.

I find it intriguing that fans are giving some serious love to Colson Montgomery in the Cubs-White Sox poll 🤓. His impressive power and hitting ease make him an attractive prospect for fans looking forward to 2026. On the other hand, the skepticism surrounding the Bulls' playoff chances this year is a bit puzzling 😐. With a talented young roster, it's hard not to be optimistic about their prospects.

As we move towards the 2026 season, I'm excited to see how these teams will pan out. The Blackhawks, in particular, seem like they're on the cusp of something special 🔥. Can't wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds! 💥
 
I think the whole "who was the best Bears team" thing is kinda silly lol 😂 I mean, don't get me wrong, the 2010 squad was straight fire 🔥, their defense was crazy solid! And the 2018 team had some amazing players too... but let's be real, the current squad has been looking pretty sharp lately 🤩. Maybe recency bias is at play, but I think that's what makes it so interesting, you know? The whole "oh they're not as good as the ones before" vibe is just part of the fandom, and we can't help but love 'em either way 😊
