00:00The Chicago Bears are a team that's been mired in mediocrity for far too long.
00:04After seasons of ups and downs, with brief glimpses of hope followed by crushing disappointments,
00:09Bears fans have been left asking, when will it end?
00:13They've watched a team with incredible potential struggle year after year,
00:18unable to find consistency, leadership, or success. But now, something is changing.
00:24The winds of change are blowing through Hallis Hall, and it's all thanks to a brutal but honest
00:28admission by one of the team's star players, tight end Cole Kmet.
00:32In recent months, Kmet pulled no punches when reflecting on the state of the Chicago Bears.
00:37Speaking candidly, he pointed out something that fans and analysts alike have suspected for years.
00:42The Bears have a loser culture that has been deeply ingrained in the team for far too long.
00:47That's a tough pill to swallow for any fan of the franchise,
00:50especially considering the rich history the Bears boast.
00:54But it's something that needed to be said.
00:56Admission is tough, it's honest, and it's exactly what this team needed to hear.
01:00But the question is, how did it get to this point?
01:04What does it mean for the Bears moving forward?
01:06And can they really change their fortunes in 2025?
01:12To truly understand the weight of Kmet's comments,
01:15we need to take a look back at the Bears' recent seasons and what led up to this moment.
01:20Since 2018, the Bears have been in a continuous state of rebuilding,
01:24from the firing of head coach John Fox to the hiring of Matt Nagy,
01:28then to the latest shift in leadership.
01:30There has been little consistency or clarity on what the Bears stand for as a franchise.
01:36Sure, the team has had some bright spots along the way, but they have been few and far between.
01:41In the past six seasons, the Bears have failed to post a winning record.
01:45That is a staggering statistic for a franchise that once
01:49prided itself on being one of the most storied teams in NFL history.
01:52Now in 2025, the Bears are at a crossroads.
01:56With the hiring of Ben Johnson as head coach, a fresh perspective has arrived at Hollis Hall.
02:02Johnson, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions,
02:07comes to the Bears with a reputation for being a dynamic offensive mind.
02:12The hope is that he will not only turn around the Bears' offensive struggles,
02:16but also change the culture that has held this team back.
02:20But let's be real here.
02:22Changing the culture of a franchise isn't something that happens overnight.
02:26It takes time, it takes commitment, and it takes the right people in the right positions.
02:32Before we dive deeper into what K-Met's admission means and how Ben Johnson fits
02:36into the bigger picture, let's take a moment to understand the significance of the situation.
02:42The Bears have been stuck in a vicious cycle for years now.
02:46They've experienced brief moments of success, but those moments have always been fleeting.
02:51In 2018, they made the playoffs, but a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia
02:55Eagles in the wildcard round still stings to this day.
02:59Then in 2020, they managed to make it back to the postseason,
03:03only to get trounced by the New Orleans Saints in the first round.
03:09The team has had talent, both offensively and defensively,
03:13but it has failed to translate into consistent, meaningful success.
03:20The Bears are stuck in this never-ending loop of rebuilding and searching for answers.
03:25Enter Cole Komet.
03:27The young tight end has been with the Bears since 2020 and has quickly emerged as one
03:32of the team's most reliable playmakers.
03:35He's someone who has seen firsthand the struggles this team has gone through,
03:39and in his candid admission about the team's loser culture,
03:43Komet wasn't just speaking out of frustration.
03:46He was speaking from a place of understanding.
03:49He knows that the Bears have a roster full of talented players,
03:53but that talent has been wasted because the culture hasn't been right.
03:58The term loser culture is a harsh one.
04:00It's not something anyone wants to hear about their team,
04:03especially when that team has a passionate fan base like the Bears do.
04:06But Komet wasn't calling out his teammates.
04:08He was calling out the environment that has held them back.
04:11He's admitting that the team has, at times, gotten used to losing.
04:15Losing has become the norm.
04:17And when losing becomes the norm, it's hard to break free from that cycle.
04:22It's not just about individual performances.
04:25It's about the mentality that permeates the locker room.
04:28But Komet's comments shouldn't be seen as a death sentence for the Bears.
04:33In fact, they're a rallying cry.
04:35They're a call to arms for both the players
04:37and the coaches to take ownership of their futures.
04:40Komet's willingness to speak out could very well serve as the catalyst for change.
04:47It's a sign that the team is ready to acknowledge the problem
04:51and begin the difficult work of fixing it.
04:54So what exactly does this mean for the Bears in 2025?
04:57Can they turn things around and break free from the culture of losing
05:02that has plagued them for so long?
05:04First and foremost, the Bears need a change in leadership.
05:07And that's exactly what they're getting with Ben Johnson.
05:10The hiring of Johnson was a bold move,
05:13but it was one that showed the Bears' commitment to turning things around.
05:17Johnson's success as the offensive coordinator in Detroit was no fluke.
05:20Under his leadership, the Lions' offense transformed from one of the worst in the league
05:25to one of the most dynamic and explosive units in the NFL.
05:31Hey, that kind of turnaround doesn't happen by accident.
05:33And it's the kind of change the Bears desperately need.
05:37When Johnson was introduced as the new head coach of the Bears,
05:40he didn't shy away from the challenge.
05:42In fact, he embraced it.
05:43In his first press conference, he said,
05:45I felt like this place was a sleeping giant.
05:48I was more concerned about the Chicago Bears than anyone else in this division.
05:52That's a powerful statement.
05:54Johnson sees the potential in this team.
05:57He sees a team that with the right leadership
06:00could be a force to be reckoned with in the NFC North.
06:04But he also knows that there is a lot of work to be done.
06:07The culture has to change.
06:08The mindset has to shift.
06:10And it all starts with accountability.
06:13Ben Johnson's offensive system will play a crucial role in this transformation.
06:18The Bears' offense has been one of the weakest in the league for years,
06:21and Johnson's task is to turn that around.
06:23But it's not just about putting together a flashy offense.
06:26It's about developing a culture of trust, discipline, and accountability within the unit.
06:31Johnson will have to work with young players like Justin Fields,
06:34who has shown flashes of brilliance, but needs to become more consistent.
06:39He'll need to build a system that maximizes Fields' strengths
06:42and helps him develop into the quarterback the Bears need him to be.
06:46Speaking of Fields, the young quarterback will be one of the
06:48most important players in this cultural shift.
06:51Fields has shown the ability to make incredible plays,
06:53but he's also struggled with consistency.
06:56As the Bears' franchise quarterback, Fields has to step up not only on the field,
07:00but also as a leader.
07:02He needs to set the tone for the rest of the team
07:04and show them what it means to compete at the highest level.
07:08The Bears also have a strong group of players who could help turn things around,
07:13including Kemet himself, Darnell Mooney, and Jaquan Brisker.
07:17These players need to buy into the new culture Johnson is trying to build,
07:21and they need to lead by example.
07:24It's not just about talent.
07:26It's about creating an environment where everyone is held to the highest standard,
07:30and where losing is no longer an acceptable outcome.
07:34But the culture change can't be confined to the players.
07:38The front office, led by general manager Ryan Poles,
07:41needs to take ownership of the team's failures as well.
07:45Poles has been with the Bears since 2022, and while he's made some solid moves,
07:50the results on the field haven't been there.
07:54Poles recently took responsibility for the Bears' disappointing 2024 season,
07:58saying,
07:59Looking back at the season, we're not happy with the results.
08:02I have to take responsibility as the leader of the football operation for that.
08:08That kind of accountability is important.
08:10The front office plays a huge role in shaping the culture of the team.
08:14They are the ones who make the decisions on personnel,
08:16who sign the players, and who put the resources in place to make sure the team is successful.
08:22If the Bears are going to break free from their losing ways,
08:25it's going to take a collective effort from both the players and the front office.
08:30But all of this starts with the culture.
08:32Command's admission about the Bears' loser culture wasn't just a statement.
08:37It was a wake-up call.
08:38The Bears are in a position where they can either continue to spiral into mediocrity,
08:43or they can make the necessary changes to turn things around.
08:47The hiring of Ben Johnson was the first step in the right direction.
08:50Now it's up to the players, coaches, and front office to follow through
08:55and make the 2025 season one that Bears fans will remember for all the right reasons.
09:02So what do you think, Bears fans?
09:04Can this team finally break free from the culture of losing
09:08and become the contenders we all know they can be?
09:10Or will it be another season of disappointment?
