Chicago Bears fans have descended from Cloud 9. The hype has subsided and the panic is here.

Ah, now, this is familiar territory for the franchise.

Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron was fired on Tuesday and more changes could be on the horizon. The playcalling has been bad. The offensive line is battered and struggling. But how worried should the Bears be about No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams? Is starting Tyson Bagent a possibility? We get into everything here on the latest episode of the “Ty & Bob Pod” — your NFC North-centric podcast — with Hall of Fame scribe Bob McGinn.

Chicago’s depravity at the quarterback position was explored in our two-part series over the offseason. Williams was supposed to be different, and he still can be.

What a fragile time for Chicago.

Also on this episode, the Minnesota Vikings squeaked out an ugly 12-7 win over Jacksonville. This team has far exceeded expectations and enters the cupcake portion of its schedule, but Sam Darnold’s three picks are a concern.

The Detroit Lions found a way to win vs. Houston despite five interceptions from Jared Goff. We shouldn’t be surprised. The real question is whether or not James Houston relieved himself during the game. We investigate.

And, somehow, we meander into some Aaron Rodgers talk.
