 Summary
In this double-duty episode of The Shawn Mackey Show, Shawn breaks down the Bears’ heartbreaking loss to the Packers and their gritty win over the Browns. The conversation centers on Caleb Williams’ accuracy, decision-making, and long-term potential as a franchise quarterback. Shawn questions whether Bears fans—and organizations in general—know how to properly evaluate quarterbacks, critiques coaching decisions, highlights standout performances, and reflects honestly on the challenges of building a growing podcast.


10 Key Takeaways
The Bears’ slow starts continue to be a major issue, especially against elite teams.

  • Caleb Williams’ accuracy problems may be intentional risk management, not recklessness.
  • Interception avoidance is one of Caleb’s biggest strengths.
  • The Packers loss came down to preparation, execution, and missed opportunities.
  • The Browns game showed real progression from Caleb Williams.
  • Running the ball kept the Bears stable but limited offensive explosiveness.
  • Defensive pressure against rookie quarterbacks should be more aggressive.
  • Jaylon Johnson’s end zone interception was a momentum-shifting play.
  • DJ Moore remains a vital piece of the Bears’ offensive future.
  • Consistency and development matter more than short-term panic.
