Chicago Bears opponents are a combined 12-22 this season, with only the Houston Texans having a winning record. After defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, the Bears have now won 3-straight and are 4-2 heading into their bye week. So are the Bears contenders or pretenders as they near the season’s halfway point? Later we analyze Caleb Williams’ progression through 6 games to determine whether or no he has already officially arrived. Join Mark Carman and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Podcast.

Contender all the way
Pretender
BEAT THE CHEESE WIZ OUT OF THE PACKERS LOL
Contenders
I said Bears will win 13 games this season before you all did your predictions lol BOOK IT
Drinking game: Do a shot every time Braggs says "At the end of the day…" Don't try this if you like walking.
Pretenders until further notice. Our wins have been against patsies. The O-line is still terrible and will probably be exposed against good teams.We are not getting consistent pressure from our Front 4 on the D-line. We've also been relying on turnovers and other teams making penalties at the worst possible time. Playoff teams, which will be all over our schedule from here on out, do not do these things…
Great coverage in London guys. Show has leveled up this year
Don’t forget, Bears almost swept Lions last season, and was playing till the last quarter without Johnson at Lambour !
Bears almost beat Texans at Houston on Caleb’s very 2nd game, and had ball in fourth quarter down less than 7 points on the road in his 3rd game! So the Bears is legit!
Just enjoy things as they come. Best way to maintain sanity. Bears are a young squad. On the rise. See how they do against stiffer competition.
Great job boys! I hope you have a smooth trip home!
Maybe I am the very few don’t think Texans is SB contender. At least they have not proved me they can beat elite teams(top 10), reasons:
1. They had last place schedule last season and did not beat any top 10 teams (Browns and Steelers are not dominate teams).
2. They only took one year to turn a bottom team around which the depth should not be that deep. No one can build an elite team in a year or two.
3. They scored only 3 points in the 2nd half against Bears, that’s not an elite offense by any means!
4. The only top team they beat was a beat up Bills , and barely beat them.
5. They lost big to top teams (Ravens Vikings). And they barely beat average and bad teams!
I really don’t see their overall talent is that good.
Seeing this Don Bur clown in the live chat replay is getting old. Like, we aren't the Packers you fool. We hate the Packers in the midwest, not the other loveable losers. My Army buddy who I served in literal trenches with is from Detroit and also named Don. He thinks Don Bur is a joke. Comes at us like we are the Packers. Whoever taught him to hate the Bears failed Midwest 101.
greg looked so hungover like we just celebrated our 3rd Super Bowl in a row lol
Just busting your chops greg Mr Meatball if you even read these comments.. Great job guys get back home and get some rest you guys deserve it job well done tally ho chaps LOL
Let’s see what happens when Caleb and this o lin face teams that blitz and bring pressure like tha colts titans and Texans did. These past 3 weeks have been a glorified 7 on 7 drill out there for Caleb and this o-line. Washington doesn’t have a great defense but they will blitz at a high rate and bring pressure.
Sam will turn into a pumpkin hopefully
Big shoutout to truefan travel and CHGO. Thought about doing the Arizona game since my mom got a condo down there last year and tickets were way too much. Checked out true fan travel and you can’t beat $225 for the tailgate and game. My mom just changed up her flight and I got me one booked. Time to check out Arizona for the first time and a Bears game for the first time in probably 10 years
Carm, some of us may give you hell but this is your Jordan flu game. You buckled down and lead the team to a W. Hair was wild but focus was dialed in. CHG🐐 🐻 🔽 boys
CHASING ORORKE! HAD ME DYING WE NEED CHASING ORORKE SHIRTS ON CHGO. REFERENCE OF LEGEND BY A NON LEGEND!
Good take Braggs. If the improvements stopped now, we’d all be very disappointed. We have to keep getting better.
Can't blame anyone for Aiden Hutchinson. This is NFL football and everybody plays. Because all it takes is one Dallas drive and the game could change.
We had a chance to play some reserves against the Jaguars earlier than we did, but they scored and tightened it up a bit. Players play the whole game, that's just the way it is.
On another note about playing reserves, I would have liked to see more of Kiran Amagajdie (sp). When are we going to find out what he brings to the table?
28-3 was Pigeons aka Falcons vs Tom Brady and his deflated football
Justin fields beat Detroit for 7 quarters with a lesser team, i like my chances with Caleb.
