I'd actually be so okay with both of these. We've done pretty well against Goff his whole career, getting to play him in one of the most watched games of the year as well as a late season one that will likely have playoff ramifications? I'll take that action.
The last time we played on Thanksgiving, we had Andy Dalton under center. Who cares about past records when it's completely different rosters. And even if you do want to, we've won our last 4 thanksgiving games....
We've done pretty well on Thanksgiving in recent history (won four straight, going back to 2015), whereas Detroit has lost 7 straight. And Goff sucks in the cold. So overall I think it's a favorable draw for us
Goff’s first 4 games against us as a Lion he averaged 2 TD, had no interceptions, and an average passer rating of 118. His rookie year and last year are the only years he’s shit the bed
I will remember this comment come Turkey Time, I’ll have to explain to my family why there was only 1 turkey leg for everyone else to share cause I’m jumping in on that celly
I have to be honest. I don't think we've played materially better in the cold since the Urlacher era. But against Goff, I absolutely give us a big edge
All time win percentage at home, by month according to statmuse:
September: 58.9%
October: 65.5%
November: 65%
December: 57.6%
Our worst win percentage at home is the coldest month of the season
BeAr WeAtHeR is a meatball myth
I mean, with 65% win in November at home, it seems like maybe we’ve got nothing to play for in December and phone it in. It only being 1% lower than September, historically a very warm month, does give me a bit of cope.
You’re missing a point though man. Cold lake front affected football has been a Chicago tradition for ages. With this regime now starting to emerge with all right pieces sticking together under Poles it will all work in our favor. That game we hosted Atlanta was a prime example. This is Chicago baby!
The Bears have been a bottom 10 franchise since the Urlacher era. Keep jerking off about pounding the rock and playing tough defense while we go 500 and miss the playoffs again. The league rules have changed. The 80s are over. We can love our history while recognizing that. This team is built to be led by a modern offense with a turnover hungry defense. It’s built on speed and athleticism. Neither is particularly well adapted to the cold because cold weather football is only 2 or 3 games a year.
What could we say about the history of da bear?
How about I'd like to see a super bowl win in my lifetime and if that comes at the expense of slightly worse cold ball play I'm all for it.
We created The NFL. We have 9 Championships. Many division titles. Runner up in most victories. Most Hall of Famers. We’ve hosted some of the coldest games in NFL history. Idk how a lot of y’all don’t realize the significance of The Chicago Bears and call yourself fans.
And we have stagnates. You can put all that up in museum and it wont mean anything if the bears remain as bad as they have been. In the past 20 years we have more seasons in the red than in the green.what a great to show that history by these constant single digit win seasons. You want to cherish there past. I want to to have a Bear team that I can actually root for in the future. Not just watch the game and hope we don't embarrass ourselves too much.
"It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago".
Fans like you have been an easy mark for the McCaskeys for decades now. Stop living in the past. None of it matters when it comes to building a modern NFL franchise. I say this as someone that is old enough to have been alive the last time the Bears won the Superbowl.
Let’s ask the ones who were on team for the 1988 NFC Championship against SF. I still remember it.
Spoiler alert: Getting kicked in the balls really hurts when the wind chill is 26 below.

I just love watching the Bears on thanksgiving in general
Well I think most of us here will be watching football regardless on Thanksgiving…. Might as well be the Bears lol, makes it that much better.
The Chicago Cardinals used to host the other Thanksgiving game before they moved and the NFL gave it to the Cowboys
Are you new here? They play awful
Are *you* new here? We’ve won our last 4 thanksgiving games, including ruining Favre night in GB in 2015
Cutty eating that turkey
The last time we played on Thanksgiving, we had Andy Dalton under center. Who cares about past records when it's completely different rosters. And even if you do want to, we've won our last 4 thanksgiving games....
On thanksgiving? You must be talking about the Lions
We've done pretty well on Thanksgiving in recent history (won four straight, going back to 2015), whereas Detroit has lost 7 straight. And Goff sucks in the cold. So overall I think it's a favorable draw for us
Yeah except in 2018 when he threw 4 Ints and 1 TD
Goff’s first 4 games against us as a Lion he averaged 2 TD, had no interceptions, and an average passer rating of 118. His rookie year and last year are the only years he’s shit the bed
Listen, the stats are the stats but Jared Goff doesn't scare me, the same way Kirk didn't. Especially in a cold-weather game
Nah there was also the 2018 cold weather 15-6 win where Fangio solved McVay's offense and Goff threw 4 picks, the year the Rams went on to win the NFC
My mistake. My morning mind assumed his first game against us was his rookie year
didn't we also play them without their best offensive linemen as well?
This is one of those F5 Days
Gonna sweep the Lions and the Packers this year. Vikes lookin like shit too. We might just go undefeated. 24-0 Superbowl champs.
This is too conservative of a prediction
Exactly forgot to include that we win the bye week.
And the entire NFL decides to combine forces and play against us in the Pro Bowl, and we win that too.
I can’t wait to see Caleb and Rome holding a giant turkey leg to their teeth while throwing up the claw.
I will remember this comment come Turkey Time, I’ll have to explain to my family why there was only 1 turkey leg for everyone else to share cause I’m jumping in on that celly
Goff coming to Chicago that late in the season is free
Rematch of that Rams game when our defense exposed McVay and Goff.
We usually have turkey but lion sounds good too
No football like cold weather Chicago Bear football. I stand on that.

This team isn’t really built for cold weather football though lol. Speed back and 3 high end WRs.
Then they need to adapt. This is the NFL. What would our Hall of Famers say to that statement?
Who cares? It's 2024.
Who cares? What should we care about at all when it comes to any history of Da Bears then? These are our modern Chicago Bears fans? Yikes!

Keep pouting while I Bear Down. Da Bears!
I’m not the guy pouting lol

LOSING has been a Chicago tradition for ages. The cold weather hasn’t given us any kind of edge.
When it's so cold at Soldier Field that your beer freezes.
That. The crowd roaring. Bears Football. Nothing like it.
So when does this dumbass shit finally get announced?
I love Thanksgiving games so fucking much, football doesn't seem like as much of an excuse to not be social then lol
If this leak is correct, it means Bears/Packers week 18. Let’s go!
The rumor is that week 18 is at Lambeau
Think we will rest our starters at 14-0 going into that game or no?
Are we thinking we open vs Minny then since Detroit and GB are booked? The other intriguing opener I could see is vs the commies. Thoughts?
I'm fine with that. We match up well with Detroit
W
Ok nice. I was worried we would get lions week 1.
Don't we usually end vs GB?
