Found this August 2006 FA at FLC talk, of all places. It was mentioned there how this was a likely candidate for an FAR, and I agree 100% after looking at it. There are major problems regarding references (both lack of them and dead links) and prose, among other things; this gives a good summary of several issues. In addition, the non-free images require a check, as standards are different now than they were in 2006 (or so I'm told), and I see a few sources of questionable reliability. Unfortunately, this is a long way from meeting 2010 FA criteria.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 20:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I endorse this summary, per my comments on the talk page and at FLC. I think it's worth repeating that on top of the technical issues and sourcing, this could do with a copyedit. WFCforLife (talk) 21:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delist per issues raised above. In addition, I see WP:ACCESS issues in the table and unsourced POV statements/paragraphs littered throughout the article (e.g. "The Bears dominated the league in the early years"), and the "2004–present: Lovie Smith era" section of the article degenerates into proseline, with no real flow.
