The Bearly Educated Podcast

Recorded internationally, as Mark is on his dig in Egypt! The Bears were soundly defeated by the NFC's best Cardinals; there's not much to discuss about this one, just more of the same! Justin Fields was cleared to play and will be the starting QB against the Packers. Chris is more excited to watch the game now, Mark fears the inevitable meatball reaction to a Fields loss. 

Thanks for listening!

This Sunday the Bears will face the NFC leading Arizona Cardinals, we discuss. We also mention a twitter user who created a QB metric that factors in help from the players around him, and the results are intriguing. And, we talk about Mark's upcoming trip!

The Bears squeak by the winless Lions after a last second field, struggling to score 16 points. We discuss this meaningless victory, as well as the odd chain of events at Halas Hall over whether Nagy would be fired after Thursday's game, or not. Then, we have fun talking about potential head coach candidates.

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.
