Latest Episodes:

How Chicago Bears can beat Atlanta Falcons, even with Cole Kmet and Darnell Mooney injured Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

Cole Kmet and Darnell Mooney missed practice this week with injuries and aren't likely to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Chicago Bears still have a path to victory without two of their top weapons against a formidable Falcons defense. It helps that the Bears own defense shouldn't have too much trouble with Taylor Heinicke and Atlanta.

Show notes

How Justin Fields performs against the Atlanta Falcons will go a long way toward shaping his future as a starter, either for the Chicago Bears or maybe the Falcons.

It also depends on who the head coach is in Atlanta and Chicago next year, with both Matt Eberflus and Arthur Smith coaching for their job in this game.

How sustainable is Chicago Bears late-season success, if Bears bring back Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields? Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears have been significantly better in the last month or so as Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields fight to keep their jobs, but how much of that success is sustainable in the long term?

If Ryan Poles chooses to bring back his head coach and quarterback, some of their growth would remain, but other aspects of what's working right now isn't likely to carry over into 2024.

Bears lackluster win over Cardinals reaffirms problem of conservative offense for Justin Fields Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

The Chicago Bears beat the Arizona Cardinals as expected, but the game was much closer than it should have been.

Matt Eberflus needed to show that his team could dominate a lesser opponent for four quarters, but as usual, they let up and allowed Kyler Murray to bring his team right back into it.

Luke Getsy's offense went conservative once again and didn't make it easy on Justin Fields.

Holiday Episode: Top 5 MVP Candidates, Brock Purdy's to lose? NFL Top 5 and bottom 5 Teams Dec 25, 2023

Show notes

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is getting a lot of NFL MVP love, but where does he fall on Mike Renner’s top-5 MVP candidates list? Baltimore Ravens passer Lamar Jackson and Dallas Cowboys signal caller Dak Prescott have had phenomenal seasons deserving of high rankings and a potential top spot.

It’s a new era in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs no longer wearing the crown as best team in the league so who now sits atop with the Niners, Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills staking their claim. But it’s about naughty and nice during the holiday season. Just like there are five best teams, there are the five worst. Between the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots, the bottom spot goes to a team that has years of rebuilding ahead of an already bad situation.

Justin Fields, Luke Getsy have big opportunity to prove their progress against Arizona Cardinals Dec 22, 2023

The Arizona Cardinals provide an opportunity for the Chicago Bears to send a message against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

The Chicago Bears are no longer playing for the playoffs, but this team still has a lot to play for and a lot for us to watch for in the final three games of the season.

A lot is on the line for the short and long term future of Matt Eberflus, Luke Getsy, Justin Fields and plenty of key players across the roster with a lot at stake.
