There was a lot of ugly in the Bears loss to the Colts, even though Caleb Williams took more steps forward. The head coach continues to be a major concern. The offensive line remains a problem. Shane Waldron seems ill-prepared and does not know his personnel. We discuss and try to walk away with some positives.

We discuss the bad, the ugly, and some good from the Bears loss to Houston last Sunday night. Then, on to previewing tomorrow's game against the Colts. We discuss what we hope to see, especially from the offense, as well as what we expect to see, especially from the defense.

We start this episode by taking one final look back at the Bears wins over Titans. The injury to Rome Odunze is frustrating, but could've been worse. And, the Bears can't expect to win many games like that, with no offensive touchdowns. Then we look ahead to the Texans, and what we hope to see in the Sunday night battle.

The Bears get the win, but it was ugly. Lots to talk about, including how much we attribute to game one sloppiness and jitters, and how much is indicative of larger problems. The pro debut of Caleb Williams was underwhelming, to say the least! But, they won.

The Bears finish the 2024 pre-season with a 4-0 record, and an impressive point differential. Even though success doesn't transfer to the regular season, it did make for an enjoyable pre-season.
We discuss the final roster, look ahead to regular season from the perspective of QB matchups, and make our post-season predictions. Next week starts our regular season routine of pre-game and post-game shows, so stay tuned for those!

We finally got to see Caleb Williams on the field last week, in the Bears pre-season game against Buffalo. Granted, it was a pre-season game, but Bears fans have to be thrilled with what we saw in the brief time Caleb was on the field!
We also talk about the first two episodes of Hard Knocks.

After months of conjecture, debates, arguments, fights, it has happened: The Chicago Bears select Caleb Williams with the 1st pick in the 2024 draft. The Bears then followed it up with selecting WR Rome Odunze with the 9th pick. So after 2 years of Ryan Poles building the defense, he goes all in on building blocks for the next decade of Bears offense. This is an exciting day, Bears fans, and we discuss! Thanks for watching!!Twitch, Twitter, Threads, Instagram: @Bearly_Educated buymeacoffee.com/Bearly_Educated
OK, so it's a foregone conclusion that the Bears are taking QB Caleb Williams with the first pick in the draft. The more intriguing question now is what they will do with the 9th pick that they also have. Draft a WR? DE? Trade down for more picks? We discuss.

The Bears have hired Shane Waldron to be their new offensive coordinator. We discuss the hire, his performance in the same role with the Seattle Seahawks, and how this move impacts whoever is QB next year.
While the Packers were eliminated last weekend, we lament the fact that the Bears are still a ways off from "taking the north;" not to mention the Lions playing for a chance at the Super Bowl!

The Bears did make some coaching changes after the season was over, but limited to offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and members of his staff. Matt Eberflus will return, which seems, to us, the wrong thing to do. We discuss.

The 2023 season is almost over for the Chicago Bears. It's been a roller coaster, for sure. The Bears end their season up in Green Bay, hoping to play Spoiler for the Packers playoff hopes. Then, the offseason begins, which may be more eventful than the regular season!

For the 3rd time this season, the Bears lost a game with a double digit lead in the 4th. We spend a lot of time discussing Justin Fields, and the fact that it's time to move on. No, it's not all on him, and his teammates and coaches have certainly done him no favors (and actually hurt his development), but we have enough to weigh against having the 1st pick in the upcoming draft. We also discuss how this should put an end to the Eberflus era as well.Thanks for watching! @Bearly_Educated bearlyeducatedpod@gmail.com. Join our Honor Roll and we'll send you a free tshirt!

It's hard to escape talking about Justin Fields, his future and the draft, since the Bears are looking very likely to have the #1 pick via the Panthers. So, what would we need to see to say definitively keep him or move on? We discuss. We also preview the upcoming Lions game at Soldier Field.

Yes, the Bears beat the Vikings, but it was not a good game for the offense. More inexplicable screen passes from Luke Getsy, Fields fumbling in the 4th quarter, not once, but twice- although he did make a game winning throw on his third attempt to seal the game. Bears fans, it's going to be a tumultuous five games until we reach the finish line! At least we've got the bye this week to rest and get ready!

In Justin Fields' return, the Bears had a win waiting for them. All they had to do was maintain a 12 point lead with 4:15 left in the game. Well, they lost by 5. An incredible and demoralizing defeat to the Lions, and it lies solely at the feet of the incompetent and cowardly head coach, Matt Eberflus. Mark chimes in from O'Hare Airport in Chicago to discuss the game, the Flus, Fields and more.

Yeah, they lost to the Chargers; but that was overshadowed by so much that wasn't related to the game. We discuss another Bears assistant firing, the SNF crew and the over-the-top Tyson Bagent hype, the head coach who can't put a complete sentence together, and more!

In this episode we discuss the Bears hosting Minnesota this Sunday. The Vikings are also 1-4 and missing their best weapon, Justin Jefferson, so the Bears have a great opportunity here to move up to 3rd in the division.
In our "Upon Further Review" segment, we discuss a few things from the Washington game, as games from around the league last week, including the Packers loss behind 3 Love interceptions.
Thanks for listening!!
@Bearly_Educated
Hey! The Bears get their first win of the year! D.J. Moore accounted for over half the Bears offense, along with 3 TD's. Justin Fields had another 4 TD's passing, and they dropped 40 points on Washington on the road. No big picture conclusions after this one, but we sure enjoyed it! We also take a few minutes to remember Dick Butkus, Bears and NFL legend, who passed away at the age of 80.

The offense was clicking (granted, against a bad defense) but the Bears find a way to lose to Denver, giving the Broncos their 1st win of the season, and dropping the Bears to 0-4. Justin Fields was great in this game, and it's a shame that the Bears still found a way to lose.Thanks for listening! @Bearly_Educated www.buymeacoffee.com/Bearly_Educated

The Bears are underdogs at home to the Broncos, who just allowed 70 points to the Dolphins. It's hard to believe that the high expectations of this season have so quickly spiraled to already thinking about the 2024 draft.

Ryan Poles plan works to perfection, as the Bears fall to the Vikings and the Texans beat the Colts, to give the Bears the first overall pick in the 2023 draft. A lot of fans feel differently about this, but we are ecstatic because the Bears have their QB in Fields, the #1 pick to play with, and the most salary cap space in the league. So far, Poles has this working to perfection, and we've got all offseason to predict what will happen.

The Bears lose on the road to the Atlanta Falcons. The offensive line had their worst performance of the season, and questionable play-calling by Getsy in the 4th quarter contributed to Fields hurt by game's end. Some are arguing that Fields should be shut down the rest of the season, we discuss.

A disastrous 4th quarter leads to a Bears loss to the Lions. We discuss what turned an almost dominating win into a crushing defeat. But long term, is this loss better? Also, Justin Fields continues his string of great efforts and solidifying himself as not only the best player on the Bears, but maybe one of the best in the league. We just hope these losses don't damage his confidence.

The Bears fall to the Dolphins 35-32, but Justin Fields continues to demonstrate that the Bears finally have their franchise quarterback. Cole Kmet continues to grow, Claypool is a welcome addition to a receiving corps which still needs at least one more true receiver. Yes, the defense now stinks; yes, the officials cost the Bears a legitimate shot at winning this game; but the big story going forward is that Fields is the guy.

Thanks for listening to this emergency episode!
@Bearly_Educated
Normally, fans wouldn't be happy after their team gave up 49 points in a game. But, Bears fans, we continue to watch the growth and development of Justin Fields, who looks more and more like the franchise QB we've never had. Yes, the defense was atrocious, but in a season of rebuilding and evaluating young players, there was a lot to be happy about in this game.

Always finding ways to lose, the Bears drop an infuriating one again. GM Ryan Poles is going to have the most to prove going forward, because he has not helped his young QB succeed. Fields continues to show signs that he is the guy. We discuss this, and more.
Thanks for listening!
@Bearly_Educated
Yes, the Bears lose to the Vikings, and the defense took all first half to get it's act together, but Justin Fields looked confident and calm like we haven't seen much this year. We discuss.

Another frustrating loss. Coaching concerns, mistakes in all three phases, roster deficiencies becoming more noticeable. There's a lot to unpack in this one!
Thanks for listening!
@Bearly_Educated
Both 2-1 and neither very good, the Bears head to Jersey to take on the New York Football Giants. Mark and Chris talk about how the Bears can win this game, but wonder if it will give Justin Fields an opportunity to bounce back from his recent performances.
Thanks for listening!
@Bearly_Educated
The Bears squeak by Lovie Smith and the Texans, but Justin Fields had a terrible game. While the passing game isn't working, the running game is firing on all cylinders; also great defensive performances from Eddie Jackson and Roquan Smith. How to best evaluate this team?
Thanks for listening!
@Bearly_Educated
With the pain of the Packers loss behind us, we look ahead to the upcoming game vs Love and the Texans. We also talk about Justin Fields development and how the Bears have made it a difficult journey so far.

The 2022 pre-season has begun, and the Bears are at camp. We talk about things that have happened so far, who looks good, and what needs are still needing to be addressed. It definitely has a different feel than training camp from the last regime. We also talk a bit about the baseball trade deadline, and some interesting stats regarding the best NFL scoring defenses and offenses of all-time.
Thanks for listening!
@Bearly_Educated
After a brief summer break, we're back! We talk Bears summer happenings, including rookie Jaquan Brisker not having signed yet, as well as what we'd like to see in training camp.

Rather than looking at specific players, we discuss the Bears possible directions in the draft. There are so many holes and lack of depth, that there are several possibilities. Will Poles trade back for more picks? Are there any current Bears on the roster that still may get traded? We discuss.
Thanks for listening!!
@Bearly_Educated
www.buymeacoffee.com/bearly_educated
With the Bears still in kind of a holding pattern in regards to free agents, we discuss what we like and don't like about what they have done (and haven't done). With the draft a few weeks away, we should get a better picture of what Ryan Poles is thinking.
We also discuss the 2022 Major League Baseball season that starts this week! We make our predictions for our Cardinals (Mark) and Cubs (Chris), as well as our post-season predictions (which is meaningless, but still fun to talk about!).

The Bears have made some free agency moves, but not much seems to be focused around helping Justin Fields yet. Does Poles have a plan?
Also, there were massive, balance-shifting moves made across the NFL this week, particularly in regards to quarterbacks. The AFC is looking to be the stronger conference by a mile.

General Manager Ryan Poles is starting to make the Chicago Bears into his image, and he starts with a doozy: trading Khalil Mack to the Chargers for 2 draft picks. We discuss the positives and negatives to this move. Poles also releases Eddie Goldman and Tarik Cohen.
There were several big moves across the league this week, like Rodgers getting a massive contract from the Packers, Russell Wilson traded to the Broncos and thus making the AFC West the best QB division in football. Also, Carson Wants traded to the Commanders.

Matt Eberflus continues to fill his Bears coaching staff, with a mix of guys following him from Indy as well as the rest of the league. In league wide news, Brian Flores is suing the NFL and several teams over hiring practices; Lovie Smith has a new head coaching gig; and we share our Super Bowl predictions.
Thanks for listening! Please give us a rating and recommendation to help others find our show!

The Bears have a new head coach! Matt Eberflus was hired by new GM Ryan Poles. For some reason, the Chicago sports media outlets are already convinced this will not work out, and for unfounded reasons (aka, not a down has been played yet!). We discuss.
Also, a look at last weekends conference championship games, and what stood out.
Thanks for listening!
@Bearly_Educated
The Bears have hired Ryan Poles as their new general manager. Poles comes from the Chiefs organization; his next move is to hire the new head coach. We discuss the three leading candidates.

Then, we recap the Wild Card weekend games, followed by a look ahead to the divisional round.

@Bearly_Educated
Almost a week since Pace and Nagy were fired, the Bears have begun the search for their replacements. There are long candidate lists for both, which is encouraging!
We also talk about the story from the Athletic that reveals some behind closed doors stories about Nagy and his players.
Thanks for listening!
@Bearly_Educated
It happened. The Bears have moved on from General Manager Ryan Pace and Head Coach Matt Nagy. After a few hours of optimism, George McCaskey held another bad and frustrating press conference, killing most of the optimism. However, early names floating for filling the GM and HC positions have produced some intriguing possibilities. We discuss.
Thanks for listening!

After leading the Vikings 14-0 at the half, the Bears lose 31-17. This game was a microcosm of the 2021 season, even the Nagy era as a whole. We discuss.

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.

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.

Bear Down, friends!
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?

Not only did the Bears get the Fields pick, they managed to beef up the O-line and add depth where needed. On paper, an outstanding draft for the Bears. Also, the Packers are in disarray which makes us happy.
In a stunning turn of events, the Bears have landed Justin Fields of Ohio State. The Bears trade up from 20 to the 11th pick and select Fields, and it's a new day in Chicago! Mark and Chris discuss the pick.
