Bill and Rick are back with a really fun episode where we disagreed a lot. We had to dig into the defensive coordinator candidates (2:12) before we took a look at free agents the Bears still need to decide on. (14:39). This inevitably led to some draft and other free agents talk, but we'll deep dive into that in a later episode. We can't take you into the weekend without getting into these conference matchups (36:55), but stick around because Bill thinks he has the trade that wins the Bears a Superbowl (48:10). I hope this episode is as fun for you as it was for us.

Bill and Rick are back with a special wildcard week recap episode. Rick and Bill recap the Wildcard games (2:25) and how we feel about the results, the play, and what we can take away from them. Then we do our end-of-the-year Rookie Recap (22:30), where we reevaluate the post-draft grades we gave and decide if a rookie performed to what we expected or if a player that was taken after our pick is the one that got away. Then, finally, we have ourselves a nice debate on whether or not it's really down to Caleb or Justin (48:55) or if trading back is still a realistic possibility.

Bill and Rick have a long one for you this week, so I took the time to help you get to what you want. Bill and Rick discuss the Green Bay loss, and have not much good left to say (3:15) then they quickly transition to the press conference and the news shared there.
