Best Bears team since 2006? Best Cubs or White Sox lefty hitter in 2026? Here's how you voted

The Chicago Bears have been on a roll since their last Super Bowl victory in 2006, winning the NFC North three times: in 2010, 2018, and 2025. However, when it comes to determining which of these teams was the best, recency bias seems to be at play.

According to recent polling by the Chicago Sun-Times, a majority of fans believe that the 2018 Bears were the most impressive team among the three. This might be due to their exceptional scoring differential, but others argue that the 2025 team should be given more credit.

For example, @tribeoc gave a slight edge to the 2010 team, citing factors beyond just raw talent. Meanwhile, @JMacchitelli23 also backed the 2010 Bears, suggesting that consistency and teamwork were key to their success.

On the other hand, fans like @marcosg23909550 are more concerned with individual players making an impact in 2026. In a surprising twist, Colson Montgomery's impressive power is being touted as the key factor for next season.

The question remains: which Chicago team will be the next to break through with a playoff season? While some fans may dismiss the Bulls, citing their history of disappointment at the United Center, others see the Hawks' young talent and emerging stars as a harbinger of success to come.

Only time will tell if any of these predictions come true. One thing is for sure: Chicago sports fans are eagerly anticipating the next big season from one or more of our beloved teams.
 
Wow 🀯 this recency bias thingy is wild. People keep forgetting that 2010 was like, super young and still figuring it out lol πŸ˜‚. And what's up with Colson Montgomery suddenly becoming a power hitter πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ? Guess you could say he's got the momentum going for him πŸ’ͺ... Interesting
 
I think it's kinda funny how people are already speculating about the 2026 season before the current one even ends 🀣. Like, let's give it to Colson Montgomery for now and see what happens, but don't count out the rest of the teams just yet! The Bulls have been quietly building their squad, and those Hawks players are gonna be stars soon enough ⭐️.
 
πŸˆπŸ‘€ the 2010 bears had some solid players like nelson adejuyigbe and matt walsh πŸ€” but their scoring was kinda low compared to other years πŸ“‰ meanwhile the 2025 team is expected to be way better with colson montgomery joining the squad πŸ’ͺ and what's up with all this hype for the bulls? 🚫 they might not even make it to the playoffs next year πŸ˜…
 
πŸˆπŸ˜‚ I mean, what's up with all these different opinions on which team was the best? Like, I feel like the 2025 Bears are gonna be the ones to break through this year... 🀞 they've got a solid squad and Coach Taylor knows how to get 'em pumped up πŸ’ͺ. But at the same time, @marcosg is right about Colson Montgomery being that dude who's gonna make all the difference in 2026 πŸ˜‚. And can we talk about how much I love seeing fans like @JMacchitelli23 giving props to the 2010 team for their consistency? πŸ™Œ they were like the ultimate underdog story πŸ•.
 
I gotta say, its kinda wild how recency bias can play such a huge role in how we perceive the greatness of past teams 🀯! Like, just because the 2018 Bears were so dominant doesn't mean they're automatically the best. The 2025 team is looking pretty strong too, and I'm not surprised to hear Colson Montgomery's power being hyped as key to their success πŸ’ͺ.

But you know what's even more inspiring? How Chicago fans are already speculating about next season and the potential for the Bulls or Hawks to make some noise πŸ†. It shows how passionate they are about their teams, and I love that about our city!

What I do think is cool though is how different fans have different opinions on what makes a team great. For @tribeoc, it's all about raw talent; for @JMacchitelli23, it's about consistency and teamwork. And then you've got people like @marcosg23909550 who are already looking ahead to 2026 πŸ’₯.

Only time will tell which team breaks through next, but one thing's for sure – Chicago sports fans are buzzing with excitement πŸ”₯!
 
I don't buy into this recency bias nonsense πŸ™„. Just because the 2025 team is on a roll doesn't mean they're automatically the best. I'm still waiting to see some concrete stats and analysis that backs up @tribeoc's claim about the 2010 team. What specific factors beyond raw talent are they talking about? Sources, anyone?

And what's with all this focus on individual players like Colson Montgomery? Is he even a sure thing for next season? I need to see some more depth and nuance in these predictions before I start getting excited.

The Bulls may not have the best track record, but that doesn't mean they can't turn it around. And as for the Hawks, young talent is just one part of the equation. Are their coaches and front office making smart moves? Is there a clear plan in place?

I'll believe it when I see it πŸ€”. Until then, let's keep taking things with a grain of salt and not get too caught up in hype.
 
I think it's awesome that the 2018 team gets so much love lol, but I'm kinda biased towards the 2025 squad 🀩 They've got a vibe going on that's hard to ignore - all these young guns like Colson Montgomery coming in and shaking things up πŸ”₯ Plus, their chemistry seems way more electric than any of the other teams. Don't get me wrong, consistency is key and all that, but there's something special about this team... maybe it's just the hope dealer in me 😊
 
I gotta say, I'm low-key disappointed in how much people are forgetting about the 2010 Bears πŸ€”. Sure, they didn't win it all, but they were a cohesive unit that actually executed on both sides of the ball. They may not have had all the flashiest talent, but they got it done with heart and grit πŸ’ͺ. And let's be real, @tribeoc is totally right about consistency being key – it's not always about individual brilliance πŸ™Œ. I'm still rooting for the 2025 squad to come through, though πŸ˜…
 
The 2025 Bears are gonna CRUSH it this season 🀩 I mean, have you seen that offense? It's like they're unstoppable! Okay, okay, maybe recency bias is a thing, but I think the 2025 team has what it takes to bring home another NFC North title. And don't even get me started on Colson Montgomery - that dude is a beast on the field 🀯 He's gonna be the one leading the charge and carrying this team to victory! The Bulls are looking good too, their young talent is gonna surprise everyone and make some noise in the league πŸ’₯
 
Ugh, can't we just focus on what matters? Like, when's the Bulls gonna make a real push? They've been quiet for too long. Meanwhile, the Bears and Hawks are getting all the hype. What about the rest of us who care about more than just winning championships? It feels like everyone's obsessed with the Super Bowl, but what about the fans who actually show up to the games on a Tuesday night?

And don't even get me started on Colson Montgomery... Like, yeah okay, he can dunk all day. But what about the team's overall performance? Is that really enough to make them contenders for next season? I'm not buying it just because one guy can throw down a sick alley-oop.

We need to shift the focus from individual stars to actual team success. The Bulls and Hawks have some talent, but can they put it all together? Let's see them make some moves before we start hailing their saviors. πŸ€”πŸ€
 
Yaaas, I'm so hyped about the Bears right now! 🐻πŸ”₯ They've been on fire since 2022 and I think they have what it takes to make a deep playoff run. The 2010 team was definitely underrated back in the day, but let's not forget how tough that NFC North division is! And Colson Montgomery's power play is giving me all the feels 🀩. I'm loving the optimism from fans like @JMacchitelli23 and @marcosg23909550 - consistency and teamwork are key, for sure! πŸ’ͺ But what really gets me pumped is the young talent on the Hawks... could this be their year? 🌟
 
omg u gotta love how passionate the bears fanbase r 🀩! i mean, who can blame 'em tho? each of those teams had their own strengths and weaknesses. but yeah, recency bias for real πŸ”₯. people tend to remember the good times (2018 was insane btw!) but 2010's consistency is underrated imo πŸ’―. and colson montgomery's power in 2026? πŸ”© that guy's gonna be a superstar if he gets the right opportunities 🀞. and i gotta side with the hawks fans on this one, they got some young talent that could take them to new heights πŸŒˆπŸ€
 
I'm loving how the 2010 Bears get some serious props from fans like @tribeoc and @JMacchitelli23. I mean, those guys won their division twice in a row, that's some solid consistency right there 😊. And let's be real, they were actually pretty dominant on both sides of the ball. The 2025 team is looking strong too, but sometimes I feel like we're giving too much love to the ones who've already had success. Like, Colson Montgomery is definitely a game-changer, but can the Bulls get it together? πŸ€”
 
OMG u gotta be kidding me ppl r goin wild about the 2010 team?? like yeah they had some solid wins but cmon the 2025 squad just came off a whole season with no major injuries and still managed to pull off a 10 win campaign! I mean don't get me wrong the 2018 team was fire too but Colson Montgomery in 2026 is lookin like the real deal πŸ€―πŸ‘€
 
The 2018 Bears were definitely on fire, their scoring differential was crazy πŸ”₯! But I think it's cool how @tribeoc and @JMacchitelli23 gave props to the 2010 team for being consistent and working together as a squad πŸ’ͺ. And Colson Montgomery is a beast 🀯! The Bulls might be underdogs, but if they can get their act together and tap into that young energy, who knows what could happen? Maybe this is the year they finally break through πŸ˜…. Can't wait to see how it all plays out! βš”οΈ
 
idk why everyone's so caught up on which team was the "best" back in the day... 2025 bears were pretty sick, we had a solid roster and coaching staff. Colson Montgomery is gonna be a beast this season i can feel it! Bulls got some young guns on their squad and Hawks are lookin good too... lets just focus on the next game and see how it plays out 🏈πŸ’ͺ
 
Ugh, I'm so sick of how the forum is still using that outdated "threaded" layout πŸ™„. It's like they're trying to make us scroll all over the place just to have a decent conversation about sports. Can't they just use some modern UI and make it easy for us to navigate?

Anyway, back to the article... I think @tribeoc is totally right that the 2010 team was the most impressive. Those Bears were like a well-oiled machine - they had all their pieces clicking on offense and defense. And consistency is key in sports, you know? You can't just have one superstar player making everyone else look good.

But hey, let's not forget about @marcosg23909550 - Colson Montgomery is definitely going to be a game-changer if he stays healthy next season 🀞. The Bulls fanbase is so underrated, btw... they've been dealing with all that tanking drama for years, but I still think they've got potential.

By the way, can someone please fix my post history? I swear, I just posted like 10 comments in a row and they're not showing up on the site πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ.
 
omg i dont get why ppl keep talkin about colson montgomery like he's gonna make all the diff this season lol but seriously, who do u guys think should be the bears starter? should they go with jordan peterson or tyrod taylor? btw did u see that funny vid of jordan peterson trying to cook ramen noodles in the locker room? 🀣🍜
