Everybody said the Bears hadn't beaten anybody, and apparently, they took that personally, so when they went to Philadelphia to play the "somebodies" who just happen to be the defending Super Bowl champions, the Bears beat the shit out of them. The RECRAP of the Bears 24-15 pounding of the Eagles is brought to you by Buick of Chicagoland, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and the brand new books "The Immortals" and "Great Until It Wasn't." The Bears ran the ball all over the Eagles for three hours and it was glorious. And the much maligned defense, reinforced by the returns of Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon didn't let the Eagles do much of anything. It was a sight to behold. Let's bask in the memory.

Jed's back to rebuilding his bullpen and his first spare part is actually more accomplished than the guys he normally drags off the scrap heap. Praz and Oleg drop by to talk about the bullpen, about the Cardinals trade of Sonny Gray and whether they'll also try to move Willson Contreras. The guys find an interesting new home for Pete Alonso and think the Marlins being pressured to add payroll would make a Sandy Alcantara trade easier for them, not harder. They also try to guess which Cub will settle for one of Jed's extensions. And they come up with a ridiculous new pinch runner rule. All that, and more.

The RECRAP of the Bears gritty 31-28 win over the Steelers is brought to you by Mr. Submarine (twice), the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and the brand new books "The Immortals" and "Great Until It Wasn't." The Bears played a game without any of their starting linebackers and quickly were down to none of their projected starting cornerbacks, and somehow they did more than enough to beat Pissburgh. DJ Moore had a big game, Caleb Williams threw three touchdown passes and the Bears head to their Black Friday game with Philly alone in first place in the NFC North. What a world.

The Bears apparently think they need to let other teams get a fourth quarter lead before they can actually come back and win it, but for now, who cares? It's working. The RECRAP of the Bears' 19-17 walkoff win over the Vikings is brought to you by Mr. Submarine, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and the award-winning, best selling book on the 2016 Cubs titled "The Immortals." Ben Johnson's doing a great job, but he nearly got a little too geniusy late in the game. Cairo Santos is the most accurate kicker in Bears' history but even he misses once and a while. And the Bears' defense isn't good, but it is opportunistic, but trying to hang it on them to close it out is unwise. What is that shit on JJ McCarthy's face. Why does he remind us of Tom Brady cloning his dog, and much more.

The offseason is underway. Shōta might be on the way out, the Cubs are being connected to free agents the aren't likely to actually try to sign, and Oleg and Praz are here to talk about what Jed's plan is, and why that plan sucks. And, Praz wants to make the case that it's the Brewers now, not the Cardinals who are the Cubs' biggest rivals. As you can imagine, we have some thoughts. All that, and more.

For more than three quarters the Bears looked incapable of beating a pretty lousy Giants team, but when the Giants eschewed two chances to try to make it a 14 point game Caleb Williams decided he'd seen enough of this shit. It's the RECRAP brought to you by a Marc Trestman reference from "30 Rock", the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular and my new book, "The Immortals" which goes on sale Friday, November 14. Come for a breakdown of why what Daboll did should have worked, stay for my Ray Ray McCloud III breakdown. But if Olamide Zaccheus asks to borrow your phone to listen, don't throw it to him. He'll drop it.

The Bears offense was great, especially in the second half, and the defense was so bad that Chauncey CJ Gardner-Johnson has become a big part of trying to make it work, but in the end of a crazy game that felt like a gut punch loss, the Bears made the last big play and won it by the very un-Bears like score of 47-42. Colston Loveland had a huge day and the game winning play, Kyle Monangai ran wild in his first chance to be the lead back, and for all of Adam Archuleta's bitching, Caleb Williams had a game unlike any NFL player, ever. The RECRAP, brought to you by Todd Green Toyota of Springfield, and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular breaks it all down.

Things are getting World Seri-ous (clever), and David Brown is back to talk about it. But we also get into some really important stuff, like how to fix the now passive four finger intentional walk into something fun and exciting! Does anybody need that? Of course not, but it'll be fun. Does Dave Roberts know what he's doing? Why are the Blue Jays pinch runners all so slow? How tired did Shohei really get from getting walked nine times in game three and how did it affect his pitching? When will he pitch again? So many questions. Better listen for the answers.

Are the Cubs the best run professional franchise in town? Oleg and Praz are here to discuss that, and what the Cubs offseason look realistically is. Will they go after Dylan Cease or somebody better? What happens to Kyle Tucker's market if the Dodgers don't swoop in with a luxurious basket of deferred cash? If the Cubs DFA'd Ian Happ would any team take his contract? Why wouldn't the Cubs pick up Shōta's option? And why don't the Cubs do a better job of honoring players who played for them before 1969? All that, and more.

The Bears four game losing streak is over, and it's not completely due to their mysterious clock management, but it's not NOT completely due to that. Today's RECRAP is brought to you by Mr. Submarine and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular. The defense is running out of players, the offense forgot to run the ball for a very long time and the Bears are really, really good at self sabotage. But how are you supposed to beat a team QB'd by the grandson and son of Cubs' all-time greats?
