Bears Bonanza: Recent Episodes
Sameer Deshmukh
A couple friends use the Chicago Bears to keep in touch and generally rant and rave about what we love and some times hate about our favorite sports team
We come back from our break to examine what we think of the new Regime so far along with doing a quick and somewhat sad reflection on the state of the roster
The Guys reflect on the Poles/Flus hirings and find reason to hope despite some of the quirks
We avoid the culture wars but take a quick look at the finances involved in building and NFL stadium, also amazingly we end the show with optimism
Part 1 of our look at the bears presser, warning if your looking for good vibes this one isnt the one for you (but part 2 might be!!)
What could George be thinking apart from the fact that wins dont matter? We take a quick look into the rather disheartening news that Pace is going to stick around
Just a quick show while we wait for the more interesting elements of the bears story to begin opening up, we react to the bears game and try to link it to the broader picture
Was that the last time we see a home game with Nagy/Pace as the main drivers of the bears destiny? Sure felt like it we talk about that and our affection for Big Tev
We vomit in our mouths a little as we touch on the latest humiliating loss to the packers and wonder what happened to Arob and if Trace is the guy to lead this franchise to the future
After a lackluster 2 weeks the bears community welcomes back JF1, but we begin to wonder if we are at the beginning of another Trubisky War. Packers talk in the second half
PSA here: even when fields comes back we are in full on big picture mode, most likely till next season, we begin the process of sorting out next steps for the team we love
After yet another disappointing loss in yet another lost season the boys try to pick up the pieces and vent a little (actually we vent for most of the show, because all the other podcasts have talked about what we wanted to talk about)
We try to figure out what is the destiny of Monty and Roq on this team, what a good WR/TE room looks like, and if Big Tev can be a difference maker in 2021
We dont linger too long on taunting-gate as we try to figure out what this team can be if fields keeps playing like this
Explicit Warning: we take a step back and try to answer some of the questions rumbling around the mean streets of twitter, is this team talented? And shockingly is this a playoff team?
The title describes the bears starting to figure things out on offense and also the timeliness of our podcast this week
We briefly touch on the “Nagy Element” before diving into the actual fun stuff of the plays and take a look into the future of this team
We reflect on an exceptionally terrible bears loss and ponder what needs to change and who is to blame…
Seriously what else do you think we are talking about this week? We start off giving props to the defense before we begin what we hope is our weekly Justin fields gush fest
Perhaps not the most positive show, we react to the bears week one “performance” and look ahead to the rest of the schedule
On the eve of the season we wrap up our off season of forecasting as we gear up for the regular season, Bear the F down!!!
Does a plan from one team translate to another? The guys try to make sense of some of the bears “plans” at QB and wonder if the current situation has been properly positioned
The guys cover our thoughts on fan fest and how what we saw changed our opinions, we dive into the rest of the offense in the second half and ponder the insane idea of “would Charles leno actually be a game changer right now?”
The guys get back from their break to discuss the departure of Anthony Miller, the madness of Aaron Rodgers and preview the defense.
We welcome our good friend Chikuan to talk (aka gush his brains out) about Justin fields, what should we expect and how many rings is a reasonable expectation?
The guys are busy with the summer but take a minute to talk about some of the key story lines around the bears universe. Aaron Rodgers is kind of a punk, the bears should be more creative with their stadium options and has anyone seen Eddie Goldman?
The short answer is yes, we try to unpack the emotional impact of what it means to have a franchise QB in the house, also is there anything that could possibly undermine this?
Justin Fields is a Bear.....cmon on what else do you think we are going to be talking about???
What would we give up for Watson? Are there other options available? We share some thoughts on the upcoming QB revolving doors conversation
We cover the bears “press conference” warning this is not going to be collaborative or solution oriented, it is going to be a lot of negative venting, we tried to spin it but just dont want to lie to you guys......this is a rough moment
After a very brief moment around the sad state of affairs in Washington we dive into our feelings on the packers game as we look ahead to playoff football, and dare to dream about the future
We celebrate a convincing win, and go through what we think the keys to winning are going to be. Refreshing not to think about the off season the future of QB for one week as we get hyped for Bears V Packers, a rare moment were we can unite as fans
Another week another bears win, Twitter is getting polarized, Danny probes Sameer’s hate of all good things and holy.
A bears win, redemption for mitch, the growing shadow of the truthers, we cover all and more
WTF doesn’t begin to describe this chaos, Danny and sameer pretend to be pace do a quick history lesson, examine the mystery of trutherism
After sameer freaks out about Ted Philipps the guys look into Jonathan Woods rebuild plan for the bears, rough sad but probably the way forward
Yeah not an awesome time to be a bears fan, the boys try to use some comedy to mask their depression....they fail like they always do(that was a joke, but was it? )
Danny and Sameer share their frustrations with the offense, get a little rowdy and wonder what the plan is with the offense and if we have the capability as a franchise and the patience as a fan base to see this thing through
As the 5-1 Bears continue to slog through the season with their brand of uninspiring offense and earth shattering defense, Danny and Sameer try to figure out why we are stuck in this painful cycle and are their some inevitably’s that we need to start preparing for?
We hate getting grades but love giving them, the guys grade out the position groups and take a look ahead
Ah god damn, bears had a golden opportunity not to get their butts kicked but they did, can they step up and react and are the problems here much deeper than we originally thought? Ghost of Mitch only makes a small appearance i promise!
We try (and Fail) to calm down as we welcome the foles era. The bears are in for a dose of reality with a tough team in the colts coming to town. Hicks vs Nelson, Rhodes vs Robinson, the story lines straight from WWE give your life a break and listen to us geek out
Honestly....what do you think we are going to talk about? We try not to explode with joy and excitement, we try to be reasonable and knowledgeable but today is not that day bears fans....biggest regular season win of the last 20 years period!
Sameer tries to use stats to explain something and fails, Danny though translates and explains. Are we as good as we think we are? Why is it that we are hypercritical of the Defense yet so hyped about a pretty average offense.....we discuss
Has their ever been a more polarizing, thrilling or amazing win in the Nagy era....Danny T we love you but please run faster
The boys talk about (briefly) their reaction to the QB announcement and shift their energy to look toward what we hope is an eventful Bears season, will the bears inefficiencies at key spots hold them back? Or are we at the beginning of a super special story?
Joined by our very special friend Gregg Braggs from Braggs in the Stands to talk about the ever shifting fan experience and thoughts on the QB Battle
Were back for our long hibernation (yes that was a terrible joke) were connecting on all the craziness of the bears camp and of course talking about the QB battle and how we see our Bears going forward. Come for the casual get together and feel free to leave us a message on twitter
First show of the new year, working out some technical kinks so bear with us a little bit, we give our takes on what to do with the bears qb situation, covid and we look for Gau
