Bears Fans Weigh in on 2006 Squad's Legacy, Lefty Hitters and Playoff Chances

Chicago Bears fans are revisiting the team's storied past, with a question that sparks debate: which Bears squad from since 2006 was best? The answer may surprise some, but it turns out that the 2018 team is the clear winner in terms of scoring differential.

When asked to choose between the 2010, 2018, and 2025 teams, fans were split on their opinions. However, a slight edge was given to the 2018 squad, with one fan commenting, "Recency bias? It shows up here often." Despite this, the 2018 team's impressive performance earns it the top spot.

On another front, baseball enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season of the Chicago Cubs and White Sox. A question posed by the Chicago Sun-Times asked which lefty hitter will have the best 2026, with Colson Montgomery emerging as the fan favorite. The 24-year-old slugger's "amazing, easy power" caught the attention of one fan, who exclaimed, "Montgomery has amazing, easy power and will have [the biggest] year."

The Blackhawks are also looking to make a splash in their upcoming season, with fans speculating which team will be the first to break through with a playoff appearance. While the Bulls are mentioned as a contender, some fans question whether they truly deserve inclusion due to their inconsistent performance.

In conclusion, Bears fans are reevaluating their team's past successes, while baseball enthusiasts are eager to see which lefty hitters will shine in 2026. The Blackhawks' young talent is also generating excitement among fans, who are anticipating a promising season ahead.
 
the 2018 squad actually played before the 2025 season so its kinda weird that its getting more love from current fans 🤔...but i guess recency bias does play a role in this kinda thing...can't deny though that the 2010 and 2018 teams had some awesome games under matt fortner's coaching 💪
 
You know when you look back at your life and think about all the ups and downs, and how some moments just seem so out of this world? Like, for me, that's what it feels like when I see the 2018 Bears squad's legacy being revisited - it's like they're speaking straight to my soul 🤯. It makes me realize that life is all about perspective, right? We tend to focus on what we got wrong in the past and forget about the awesomeness that happened along the way.

And it's funny how our brains work, too. Like, here are these fans who are still debating which Bears squad was best, but they're also saying stuff like "recency bias" - meaning they tend to give more weight to recent events because of how fresh they are in their minds 😂. It's crazy how much our memories shape us, isn't it?
 
The 2018 squad? Really? I mean, it's cool that they were good and all... but have you seen the way they lost to the Packers last year? 🤦‍♂️ Still, I guess recency bias can be strong when it comes to sports nostalgia. But honestly, I'm more concerned about this season's playoff chances than who had the best scoring differential 10 years ago. Can we talk about something else for a sec? Like, what's up with Colson Montgomery and his "amazing, easy power"? Sounds like someone's been hitting too many home runs at the ballpark 🏟️😂
 
idk man, like i'm trying to say that the 2018 squad was definitely better than the others, but then again, they only won one game that year so maybe not... 🤔 and omg colson montgomery is gonna have an amazing year, right? 😎 but hold up, what's with all these recency bias thoughts? shouldnt we be looking at the team's overall performance or something? 🤷‍♂️ and btw, i still think the 2025 squad has a good shot at making it to the playoffs... 💥
 
idk about the bears squad, but i think its weird that theyre giving more attention to teams from 2018 and 10 yrs ago lol 🤔 what about this year's team? didnt they just win somethin'?? 🏈

anywayz, colson montgomery seems like a solid pick for the cubs lol "amazing, easy power" sounds like sum kinda baseball superlativs 🤣
 
Dude I'm totally surprised by the 2018 Bears squad taking the top spot 🤯. I mean, yeah they had a killer defense but what about the offense? Wasn't that team led by Matt Forte or something? 🤔 Anyway, it's all good, can't deny that squad was on fire 🔥. And omg Colson Montgomery is gonna crush it in 2026!!! Easy power, bro! 😎
 
I think it's pretty interesting that the 2018 Bears squad gets top marks from fans. You know, I've been thinking about this a lot and I think it's because that team was so well-rounded. They had an amazing defense, led by guys like Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks, which really set them up for success on both sides of the ball. And let's not forget about their offense, which was fueled by guys like Mitchell Trubisky and Tarik Cohen - they were a real dynamic duo. But what I think really puts the 2018 team over the top is that they had this sense of cohesion and chemistry that just can't be taught. They all seemed to mesh together in a way that makes it hard for opponents to stop them. 🐻💪
 
omg I'm so hyped about the upcoming season of the Chicago Blackhawks!!! 🤩 their young talented players like Kirby Dach and Seth Jones are gonna light up the ice 🔥 and make it to the playoffs for sure! 💪 as a die-hard Bears fan (I know, multiple teams 🙈), I gotta give it up for the 2018 squad tho - they were on FIRE 🌳 those lefty hitters tho Colson Montgomery is gonna crush it in 2026 😎 can't wait to see him swing that bat! ⚾️
 
I'm all about living in the present, but I can totally understand why fans would be nostalgic for past Bears teams 🐻🏈. The 2018 squad's scoring differential was pretty impressive! I think it's cool that fans are giving them some love again. As for the Cubs and White Sox, I'm more of a fan of baseball's unpredictability - you never know what's gonna happen when those guys step up to the plate 🎾💪. And yeah, the Blackhawks have got some talented young players on their team... maybe they'll surprise us this season? ⚡️👍
 
🤔 so the 2018 Bears squad is defo the best tho 🏈 it's crazy how recency bias plays a role here tho some ppl think it's unfair but like the numbers don't lie right? 😅 and btw Colson Montgomery sounds legit 🤩 easy power all day erryday can't wait to see what he does in 2026 💪
 
I gotta disagree with the whole recency bias thing 🤔, think that the 2006 squad was way more clutch than people give 'em credit for 💪. I mean, come on, they made it to the Super Bowl that year! That's no joke 😂. People are all about the 2018 team's scoring differential, but what about the heart and determination of those guys in '06? They may not have been as flashy, but they got the job done 💼. And don't even get me started on the lefty hitters for the Cubs and Sox 🤷‍♂️... Colson Montgomery might be a fan fave, but I think we should be looking out for someone else entirely 🎯. The Bulls not being included in playoff talk? 😂 that's just a joke! They've got some real talent on their roster. And the Blackhawks are gonna blow it all, just you wait and see 🔥.
 
I'm loving the nostalgia vibes going on here, but what's with all these sports teams getting so much attention? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Chicago and all its awesome sports scene 🏈🏒️... but can we talk about something more pressing for a sec? Have you seen how fast climate change is affecting our planet? It's crazy to think the Bears' history is even being debated when the future of our planet is at stake 🌎💚
