For new fans, getting excited about the Chicago Bears can be confusing, especially with all the nostalgia and history. Let's keep it real - no, this isn't the best team ever. The '85 Bears were something special, known for their "Super Bowl Shuffle" music video and dominating defense.
This year's 2025 Bears are more of a young, inexperienced team that relies on late heroics to win games. They've had some dramatic comebacks in the regular season but struggle to dominate opponents. Their offense has averaged just 26.6 points per game, ranking them ninth in the NFL.
The main reason fans are hyped about the Bears right now is their quarterback Caleb Williams and new head coach Ben Johnson's success. The team finished with an 11-6 record and won their division, a first since 2018. Williams led many comeback wins as the first overall pick of the 2024 draft.
One standout game was against the Packers on December 20, where the Bears came back from a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win in overtime. This is just one example of their ability to perform under pressure, but it's worth noting that they don't often dominate games.
When discussing this season, some fans might get caught up in the rivalry between the Bears and Packers or talk about famous figures like Refrigerator Perry from the '85 team. They also use phrases like "Good, Better, Best," which seems to be a motivational chant for Coach Johnson.
Another fun fact is that when Cubs Hall of Famer Billy Williams heard the phrase as a kid, it became important to him and was even referenced in his 1987 induction speech. But this isn't about the Cubs - just a weird connection.
Lastly, there's "Bear Down, Chicago Bears," the team's fight song since 1941, which is sung at games and in bars wherever you find a Bears fan.
As for the future of the team, there have been rumors of the Bears potentially leaving Soldier Field, their current stadium, to move to a new location in Arlington Heights or even Indiana. This is all part of the complex economics and politics surrounding professional sports stadiums.

The excitement around the Chicago Bears can be overwhelming, especially with all that history and nostalgia. It's cool to see young fans getting hyped about Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson's success, but let's keep things real - it's not like they're the dominant team of old 
... 26.6 points per game is pretty average, if you ask me 
.
. And can we talk about Caleb Williams for a sec? The guy's got some serious skills 
... but, yeah, let's not put too much pressure on him just yet 
.
! Who knows what the future holds for the team and their stadium situation? One thing's for sure, though - Chicago Bears fans will always be there to support them, no matter what 
.
.
. The stadium situation for the Bears is super complicated and I don't think it's anyone's fault but the fans' for being so invested in their team 
.
. The '85 team was iconic, I get it, but this year's squad is more about heart and grit than dominance 
. Still, I'll give them credit - they've got spirit! 
... whats with the "Good, Better, Best" chant tho? is it really that deep or is just Coach Johnson trying to motivate his team 
️. The '85 squad was on another level, but that's hard to replicate 
. And yeah, the '85 Bears were legendary, but that was one of those special seasons where everything came together 
. Still, as long as they can bring home wins and entertain us with their heroics, I'll be rooting for them 
. And can you blame them for getting hyped about comebacks? It's like watching a thriller movie – you never know what's gonna happen next 
. Now, the talk of leaving Soldier Field is interesting... I hope it doesn't affect their team morale 
The '85 crew was on another level, you know? 
️ It's like they're always one step behind 
I'm not gonna lie, that game against the Packers was insane though 
The Cubs connection is just wild 
That's not gonna sit well with me. I love that stadium, it's iconic 
Can't they just make some changes instead of uprooting the whole team? 
... I'm hyped for next season, can't wait to see how they do under Coach Johnson 
. But yeah, it's a bit weird seeing all these old legends and rivalries, it feels like a whole different team 
. And yeah, Caleb Williams and Coach Ben Johnson are cool, but they had some pretty big comebacks in the regular season - what's new about that? 
.
.
and the whole "good, better, best" thing is actually kinda infectious 
And now there's rumors about them leaving Soldier Field... that's some crazy stuff. What do you think about the Bears' chances for the playoffs this season?
those of you who say "bear down, chicago bears" are just too extra 
, you know? They've got some young guns like Caleb Williams who's doing alright for himself, but let's be real, their offense isn't exactly lighting it up 
but let's not forget they dont even dominate games its like they need a rocket fuel to make a comeback
, I don't get why ppl r so hyped about da Bears this yr 
.
. "Good, Better, Best" chant? please 
. Cubs guy Billy Williams' thing? weird 
Arlington Heights or Indiana? so many questions
