Standard Score Notation
Scores are noted either one of 3 ways:
- 21-17
- (21-17)
- 21 to 17
Which is preferred? KyuuA4 09:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm recommending the 3rd option: 21 to 17. This will differentiate from win-loss records, denoted like the 1st option. KyuuA4 09:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, use the third option for the scores, and the win-loss records would be denotated as (10–5–1) or (15–1).
Wordyness and Too Much Detail
Reading through some of the material here can be a headache - as trivia tends to dominate the text. KyuuA4 19:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- "Omit Needless Words" - 'nuff said I will go through the article sometime later, and try to consolidate it. Perhaps even add some references too. ;-) -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 03:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- It'll be best to minimize the number of games mentioned where scores are included. Games such as playoff games, Super Bowls, and maybe critical season games should be fine. Critical season games should be those that made an impact on the season as a whole. KyuuA4 07:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Expanding
I think we need to expand more information the Bears decade history. Alakazam has done a wonderful job with the 2000's so far. A goal is to write this history section better. The 1920s-1990's are too shallow. Does anyone agree? --Happyman22 02:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Personally, I am not in favor of the arbitrary division by decade. For example, Ditka's reign from 1982 to 1992 should be all in one section because he took the team to the playoffs in 7 of his 11 seasons as head coach, and made a significant impact on the popular culture of the team. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:59, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly, redivide the Bears history into eras.
- Indeed, Era's make more clear and distinct divisions than decades. KyuuA4 19:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- The 20s are so incomplete there is so much more history of pre Bears-Staley 's era that need to be included. What was the Staley's nick name.it was Trafton's 11 after George [The Brute] Trafton Captained the Team to winning season's before the Bears were named Without it, The roots are missing, the Soldier field Storys of being Frozen & Torn etc
- , what they did for fun turned in to American's favorite Sport s 47.157.177.45 (talk) 17:12, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

I've started an article on Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame and it needs a lot of work tracking down football players and filling in the details (Sport, Position, Local team, Other major team). Any help would be appreciated. Smallbones (talk) 17:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
1919 independent season
I understand the Staleys played football in 1919 should that also be included? ie Cardinals and Packers Smith03 (talk) 18:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Lack of Footnotes/References; Expansion
We might need more references/footnotes. Expansion might also be needed, as the Jauron and Wannstedt eras are awfully short and somewhat bland, in my opinion. We're going to need a lot more info to expand, then.
