Bears Over Beers S2E20: Missed Opportunities Sink the Bears in OT Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

In a rare Sunday night recap, Bears Over Beers host Jeff Berckes is joined by Bears Banter host Bill Zimmerman to talk recap and commiserate. They tried their best to cover the following without overheating:

Javon Wims, searching for a new career in boxing?
No Daniels, no Whitehair, and losing Bobbie Massie early left the Bears with three backup offensive linemen. Results were... predictable.
The Follercoaster returns.
Brees gave the Bears chances with two throws in overtime - one to Roquan, one to Eddie - with three Saints fumbles all getting recovered by NOLA.
Alvin Kamara had a big day - Derrick Henry and Dalvin Cook on the docket next.
Allen Robinson is still amazing, and Miller and Mooney played as well as they have all season.
On the other hand... Jimmy Graham shouldn’t be on the field between the 20s, Cole Kmet still not making much of an impact.

Show notes

There's no way around it: the Chicago Bears' game against the Los Angeles Rams was a classic "burn the tape" game. So where does that leave a film-based podcast? The guys switch things up and invite team-building expert and cap analyst Brad Spielberger to join the show as they dive into a complex question: how much of the Rams game is on Matt Nagy... and how much is on GM Ryan Pace?

Bears Banter: Ep. 82- Kevin Fishbain joins! Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

How do you fix this Chicago Bears' offense? Fire Matt Nagy! Of course not. But Nagy certainly shoulders blame, as does the offensive line, running game, quarterback and lack of playmakers at the skill positions. Fix that and you're in good shape. But seriously, Kevin Fishbain joins and looks at what can be done on the offensive side of the football to make that unit a little more cohesive and see if they can perform better.
