We were so. Close.

Coach Bob wrestles with what to do with these feelings of this being his favorite game in his life. Patrick has an hour too many of talking points to commemorate the first PLAYOFF WIN episode. The Bear Weather Fans in-house band has a new intro song for the occasion. Get in here and celebrate how far we've come.

Your beloved hosts take stock of the Bears at the end of the season, note all the many ways we exceeded expectations, and finally, look ahead at what could be.

Your beloved hosts Coach Bob and Patrick discuss the odd peace fans are feeling as NFC North Champions after the loss against one of the best offenses in the NFL. Caleb is clearly A Guy, the Bears are clearly a perennial playoff team, and Collinsworth is clearly in need of taking his Mahomes magazine away from the broadcast booth. Will the loss affect the playoff seeding? Will the offense be healthy going into them? Will your hosts holiday broadcast after a near-lethal amount of eggnog make up for the terrible audio quality? Find out this time on BEAR WEATHER FANS

Your hosts hold a candle in reverie to one of the greatest games you will ever see.

NFL records are being set by our QB. Our coach is prepping us for the postseason with a head of steam. Our DC is cobbling together a top turnover-producing defense every single week with a new rotation of guys off the street. Our OL is earning their place as maybe the best in the NFL. We're not used to this!

Your beloved hosts break down a surprisingly fun episode for such an infuriating loss. Will Ben Johnson learn from his tendency of calling the same pass every 4th down? Will Dennis Allen learn to stop a deep post? Will DJ Moore learn anything at all about player receiver in Ben Johnson's offense? Tune in to find out!

Your revered hosts discuss the 9-3 Chicago Bears. The Super Bowl champ-stomping Chicago Bears. The NFC-leading Chicago Bears.

You read the title. You know what you're getting into. Get in here. Bear Down.

Have you heard the one about the Bears tallying up another unlikely win against a strong defense through some late-game heroics and a game-winning drive to end it in the final seconds? Oh you have? Well ENJOY THE REPLAY
