Our beloved Seahawks just took a gut punch at Lumen Field, falling 34-17 to the Chicago Bears on November 2, 2026. This wasn’t just another loss, Seattle, it felt like we ran headfirst into a team that truly believes they’ve turned a corner, and they brought that swagger right into our house.
Chicago’s Confidence Is Sky High, And We Felt Every Bit of It
The talk around the league for the Chicago Bears has been their big trade for Jeffery Simmons. Everyone’s been comparing it to their 2018 move for Khalil Mack, but the Bears faithful are screaming that this time, it’s different. The source says this team knows exactly who they are with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, unlike the uncertainty of the Matt Nagy and Mitchell Trubisky era back in 2018. Back then, it was just a bunch of hopeful thinking that Trubisky would make a leap and Nagy was the guy. This time? Johnson and Williams have had a full year, plus part of 2026, to gel and show improvement. And guess what? They did. This Bears team was already firmly in the postseason mix, thanks to their offense. So adding a game-wrecker like Simmons to a well-coached Dennis Allen defense wasn’t some wild gamble, it was a calculated move that made perfect sense. And we, the 12s, just watched them prove it on our own turf.
A New QB/HC Dynasty Brewing? They Brought the Heat to Seattle
The Bears aren’t just feeling good, they’re talking big. The source says this Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams combo has the potential to lead them to greatness, to be mentioned in the same breath as legendary duos like Walsh and Montana, or Reid and Mahomes. Yeah, you read that right. And honestly, after what we saw at Lumen, it’s hard to argue too much with that kind of confidence. The analysts can pull out their spreadsheets, the haters can try to poke holes, but the Bears believe this time it’s different, and they know it. When a team comes into Lumen Field and drops 34 points on us, it’s a stark reminder of the competition out there in the league.
This early season loss stings, especially at home in front of the 12s. Our Hawks have got to regroup fast after this one. We’ll be watching closely to see how they respond.
