Spiegel & Holmes Show

In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel continued to break down the Bears' 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Danny is really on one today regarding this being the best game in the history of the Bears franchise since the day they drafted quarterback Justin Fields. It was a loss, bro. And, is Fields really better off without coach Matt Nagy?

In the third hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by Score analyst Patrick Mannelly, the best special teams player in Bears history. He discussed Bears special teams coordinator Chris Tabor getting his shot at head coaching in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday as Matt Nagy was in COVID-19 isolation. And that’s it. We're definitely not talking about the actual game at all. Also, our very own Bears reporter (and all-around sweetheart) Mark Grote joined us in studio to share the hottest audio from Halas Hall on Monday.

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by NFL on CBS analyst and WFAN host Boomer Esiason. For the first time all season, we got Boomer to see what we see when it comes to Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields -- promise. But then there was negativity too. Boomer doesn’t think it’s great to let your quarterback run for more than 100 yards -- even out of necessity. But could he be wrong? Maybe we’re disagreeing with him solely because it doesn’t match up with our local narrative. Also, Danny faced quite a bit of adversity Sunday when the Bears were playing at the same time he should've been taking his child trick-or-treating.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show with Bears conversation. The easiest way to avoid having to open "Club Dub" in the middle of a pandemic? Lose the game. Accomplished. On the other hand Sunday, you might have seen the best performance from a Bears quarterback since a Jay Cutler start in 2015. Try to keep yourself together. And then again, with this team’s draft pick and salary cap situation, how can you even be excited for the future?
