Its HARD being a Bears Fan
Since winning the super bowl in 1985 the Chicago Bears have had great teams and chances to win another one but one time when the team got there in 2006 but lost to Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. This organization has been around as long as the league has been but have only won one super bowl.
The team has been known for all of their fantastic defense of teams and all of the hall of fame players they have had. But this team has never been known for having great offenses; it's always been mediocre. They have had great players that have come and gone, especially the skills of Walter Payton to the likes of Allen Robinson in today's game. The Bears quarterback position has been a scrape by every year in which they are okay but never been elite to stand out.
During the 16 game league schedule which just changed this year to 17 games the bears are the only franchise to never have a Quarterback throw for more than 4,000 Yards. The team in most recent years have tried to develop Quarterbacks from Jay Cutler to Mitch Trubuski to now even Justin Fields when he is officially given the reins to be the true starter.
Over the last 10 years the Bears are 84-84 in wins and losses which is not a good way to be if you want to be a super bowl team year in year out. They have had 4 different head coaches in that span in which that has a lot to do with players,coaches, and even financial deals. The one thing that can be said is over the last 100 plus years of the team being around they have been owned by the same family the entire time.
This year's team has high hopes with players looking promising on paper with a few new names to the team and a possible revamped defense along with Matt Nagy who, in his third year as coach, is heralded as an Offensive guru.
