Wow, quite a day for the Chicago Bears: they are firing Matt Nagy after the Lions game. Or are they? No one knows, except one story from a non-sports writer in a suburban newspaper, or something like that...More Bears ineptitude on display. We discuss.

The Bears announced Khalil Mack has been placed on IR and will have season-ending surgery on his foot. We discuss what this means going forward, including the fact that it, ironically, happened over the BYE week. Then we preview the Bears/ Ravens game, and how the Bears best shot of winning is by a shoot-out?? Crazy Bears times.

We discuss the Bears loss to the Steelers, and Justin Fields took a giant leap, giving Bears fans a glimpse of what might be the franchise quarterback we've been lacking for decades. We briefly touch on the horrible officiating and how the game was handed to Pittsburgh by the refs, but that's not the big story: the big story is Justin Fields.

The biggest story this week is that Aaron Rodgers lied about his COVID vaccination. How will the NFL respond? Will they respond at all? Also, Bears players dropping more comments about the lack of familiarity between Justin Fields and the receivers: some not-so-subtle jabs at Matt Nagy. We also look ahead to the Bears and Steelers Monday Night contest.

Justin Fields had moments that made him look like the QB of the future, and this should excite every Bears fan! The defense, however, was abysmal, unable to force a punt all game, and the 49ers win 33 - 22 over the Bears. We discuss.

A lot of Bears news to breakdown: Nagy is sidelined with covid, and suddenly the players start opening up a lot more. A LOT more. We discuss.

We both predicted a Bears loss against Tampa, but it was even worse than we expected. Top to bottom, system failure. We discuss.

Welcome to Bearly Educated! We still have some things to vent about the loss to the Packers, then we look ahead to the Bears visit to Tampa to take on the defending champs. We also look at other matchups this week, and more!!

Once again, the Bears fall to the arch nemesis Green Bay Packers. There is a lot to talk about with this game, both on a single game as well as a macro level. Have we learned enough about Matt Nagy the coach to say definitively that he's not the guy to bring the Bears to a perennial contender level? And how did Justin Fields look today?

A lot to talk about! We start with the Jon Gruden news, then go over more of the Bears win over the Raiders. Then we look ahead to the Packers game, other divisional games, and early Super Bowl contenders.
