The Bears, Matt Eberflus continue to step all over themselves (Full episode) Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

You'd think a press conference for a head coach the day after his team blew a 21 point lead and fell to 0-4 would be more about what happened to lose the game. Alas, that was not the case for Matt Eberflus and the Beas the day after their loss to the Broncos. David Haugh and Dan Wiederer discuss the horrible job Eberflus did explaining why Chase Claypool was inactive for the game, when he was told he'd be inactive, and what his status with the team is. GET IT TOGETHER, MATT! Also this episode, the guys fully breakdown Justin Fields' game. It was a great day statistically for Fields, but it came with some costly mistakes. Plus, we get a good ole' rant from producer Adam Studzinski about the status of his favorite team.

Show notes

David Haugh and Dan Wiederer fully preview Bears vs. Broncos in this one. It's a matchup of winless teams!
