While Cubs and White Sox fans may never agree on baseball, one thing is certain: both sides of the city can rally behind the Bears. And nothing screams “Chicago is a football town” quite like a loud “Green Bay sucks!” chant echoing through a baseball stadium.

Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down the latest Brad Biggs mailbag from the Chicago Tribune — and one response about the Bears’ defensive line raises some serious eyebrows.

Biggs suggests that improved coaching could be the key to unlocking better play up front, but Bernstein and Abbatacola aren’t buying it. The guys explain why that answer feels like organizational spin and why it could come back to bite the Bears if expectations don’t match reality in 2026.

Plus, the NFL drops its international game schedule, and there’s good news for Bears fans — Chicago won’t be losing a home game (or heading overseas) this season. The guys react to the scheduling break and what it means for the team.

Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down comments from Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen at rookie minicamp, where Allen took responsibility for a lack of focus on sound defensive fundamentals. Dan and Matt aren’t fully buying it.

To them, the explanation sounds a little too much like coach speak, leaving some important follow-up questions unanswered. It’s something we’ll be watching closely as the offseason progresses.

The guys also discuss which Bears rookies could make an immediate impact in the 2026 season and why certain roles may be available sooner than expected.

Bears rookie Jeremiah Love drew attention with his comments about his rookie contract, offering a refreshing perspective from a young player who could become a future NFL star.

We wrap up the show with some quarterback trivia to close things out.
