Bears in the Neighborhood is a podcast by Samir Patel and Chirag Rathod, following the Chicago Bears through the 2024 NFL season.

This week we talk about Game 2, which left us feeling both of the “-mistics” (pessi- and opti-), and discuss how to navigate the dichotomy of having patience with a new team vs the frustration of seeing the same old Bears!
