   Is This Heaven? (No This is an Elite Quarterback)

   This week the guys are mostly just extremely giddy about how good the Bears (and specifically Caleb Williams) are! They recap an incredible Thursday Nighter against New England which had some insane highs (Caleb to Rome! Luther Burden! Kyler Gordon! DJax!) and some wild, hilarious lows (Caleb to Rome?! Handoffs to Joe Thuney? Doinks??). Let's all enjoy being in a new era of Chicago football together, thanks for listening!

   Returns (of friends, and of victories)

   This week the guys discuss the returns of Caleb Williams and Kyler Gordon, both of whom were instrumental in a dominant win over the Atlanta Falcons, 31-23. How can a 31-23 win be dominant? Well, about that! How good is this offense with Caleb? How good is this defense when Kyler Gordon is on the field? And how far can we take this thing? Thanks for listening!

   The Death of the Bagenda

   This week the guys talk about how they are, for some reason, fairly optimistic about the Bears long term even after the mother of all butt whoopings at the hands of our forever nemeses, the Green Bay Packers. Sometimes you lose with a bad backup quarterback, but not all media outlets would agree that Bagent is Bad-gent and the guys spend a decent bit of time talking about that. How exposed was the defense during this game, and how much worse can it get with Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo out for a couple weeks? Also... I guess we're talking about the state of football analytics for a while on here! Thanks for listening!
