It has a "too long" yellow banner since Feb 2024. I agree with this, as the article goes into unnecessary detail about every game in the season. Meanwhile, there is no information about the legacy of this season, including how it impacted future seasons (did the team try to rebuild after losing? Did they continue a trajectory to build a competitive team? Was this part of a stagnation period?) Z1720 (talk) 17:27, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- Agree that it's too long (the GA reviewed version was already 17K words). I'm wary of getting into "legacy" turning into a WP:COATRACK, when History of the Chicago Bears or subsequent season pages (e.g. 2015 Chicago Bears season) would be better options.—Bagumba (talk) 17:42, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Bagumba: Regarding legacy: I think the article should link to History of the Chicago Bears, but should also put this season in the context of the team's history. This article can go into more detail on that aspect than the history article. I would not consider it a coatrack to add that information to this article, as long as it stays focused on this season's legacy. Z1720 (talk) 18:02, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- As long as such "legacy" is based on secondary reliable sources making the connection. I've seen too many championship season (not applicable here) articles that go on and on about subsequent seasons. A lot of seasons are just "plain" seasons and not a catalyst.—Bagumba (talk) 18:07, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
