NFL 2025-2026 season

^^ The Bears were only 3/6 on 4th down, one of those failed attempts was a Rams goal line stand when they ran 3 times & got a pass batted down on 4th down. I'm sure that played on Johnson's mind.

Ah well, my ride is over but what a fantastic ride it was this season as a Bears fan, massively exceeded my expectations and I'm not really down at all as a result after the loss yesterday

Now the work begins to make sure this season is not a one off. I'm already thinking it won't be a one off

^^ The Bears have the best young quarterback in the NFL, the scary thing is he will only get better. No reason why the Bears wont replicate this seasons success. There will be the usual turnover of players, but a good draft should improve a few areas they need to strengthen.
The season after is where they need to be creative with their personnel, Caleb William's will be up for a new contract & he must surely become a top 5 highest paid QB.
Ben Johnson will open up the playbook year on year with Williams, I doubt that he's revealed half his tricks this season, the Bears should be able to win more games comfortably, but it's good to know that they can win close games late.
The Bears will never have it easy the NFC North was the only division where all 4 teams were above .500.

I love the random stat that Brock Purdy ran around in the back field for 413 yards on 33 drop-backs, just crazy.

Surprised with the Bills firing McDermott

Yes they've had repeated playoff failures but I'm not sure there is much more anyone else would have done this season with that roster and things may only get tougher to build around Allen when his contract is going to be taking up so much of the cap

Miami have got there man and it's Jeff Hafley the Packers DC

Hasn't gone down particularly well with the fanbase and isn't the flashy higher people wanted but I guess it's a wait and see how this pans out

The Titans are expected to hire 49ers DC Robert Saleh as Head Coach.

I would say when they have had the season they had, there is no reason why they can't build on this for next season and go one step further.

I'd say the NFC East is probably toughest division of all would not be surprised if Williams features in the all star game for the NFC

Kevin Stefanski is the new Falcons Head Coach.
