Following the December 20 win over the Green Bay Packers, our results hit a season high 98%, and last week\u2019s loss in San Francisco barely dented our faith, as it fell to just 97%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">When the Bears were (0-2), our fans\u2019 confidence in the franchise was a season low 23%, but it has been over 92% each week since the Bears beat the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s how our confidence results were each week since Week 9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">92% after Bengals win<br \/>97% after Giants win<br \/>97% after Vikings win<br \/>99% after Steelers win<br \/>97% after Eagles win<br \/>96% after Packers loss<br \/>97% after Browns win<br \/>98% after Packers win<br \/>97% after 49ers loss<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We believe in our NFC North Champion Chicago Bears, head coach Ben Johnson, quarterback Caleb Williams, and I know some of you are fighting it, but there\u2019s even some belief in general manager Ryan Poles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You have to admit that Poles had more hits than misses this offseason. He\u2019s also likely to receive some votes for the 2025 Sporting News Executive of the Year Award. If he can keep getting the types of players that Johnson and his coaching staff can work with, Poles is going to be at Halas Hall for a long time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The other sites around SB Nation have their own version of the Reacts confidence survey, so a quick check around the results for the other NFC North teams has Green Bay fans at 21% confident in the direction of their franchise, Detroit fans at 28%, and Minnesota fans at 59%, with only 21% of Vikings fans hoping for a loss to improve their draft position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There are also emailed surveys to go to fans of all 32 teams, and this week\u2019s set asked fans to vote on how they see each Conference shaking out in Week 18.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fans think the Bears are going to beat the Detroit Lions on Sunday and clinch the second seed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You can<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/6Q70N2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed Reacts surveys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a week\u2019s hiatus for the holidays, the Reacts results have returned, and Chicago Bears fans are still&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[374,692,391,85235,741,2493,7,6,12015],"class_list":{"0":"post-649834","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-bears","8":"tag-bears","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-bears","11":"tag-chicago-bears-discussion","12":"tag-chicago-bears-news","13":"tag-chicagobears","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-poll"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115829354300225054","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
