Five straight days of football for Christmas 🎁

My 10 favorite games of the 2026 NFL schedule ⬇️⬇️

The #Bears have 7 standalone games, play on a short week 6 times, but also play 5 games with more than 7 days to prepare, so the inconsistent schedule is something they'll need to navigate. But they also don't face any teams coming off a bye and have the 3rd fewest travel miles.

The Joy of Schedule Release 😂

.@BradBiggs predicts the Bears will go 9-8 amid a challenging schedule in 2026.

Seriously guys, whatever happened to: • the DOGE checks • tariff checks • the Greenland hospital boat • 10% APR on credit cards • my meds being 1500% cheaper • $2 gas • the Epstein files • reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open • cheaper groceries • ending wars in 24 hours • the “privately funded” ballroom Any updates?

@HGrahamNFL I muted and block so many of them and a lot of “podcasters” or content creators, they know who they are now have Caleb jerseys, Caleb avatars .. a lot of them really thought “I know ball more than you”

Found a couple of old tweets and it’s amazing how many Bears fans thought they were trading back from the #1 pick in 2024. Like mid-March, still thinking Caleb wasn’t going to be the pick. Pretty wild.

The Positives highly outweigh the negatives for rest advantages, bye weeks, and warm-weather teams coming to CHI during potential cold games.

@AzBobbyl @JustAnthrSean @SharpFootball How many flukey wins they have 1?

@JustAnthrSean @SharpFootball I think the Bears will have regression only in the sense of how many "flukey" wins happened last year.

thoughts on the Bears 2026 schedule? 7 primetime/standalone games the Bears have arrived and the NFL is clearly banking on them taking another step forward in 2026
