Chicago Bears fans deserve better. George McCaskey doesn't get it and doesn't look like he's ever going to get it. It was a rough press conference to listen to today and McCaskey lectured the fan base, didn't show any growth as an owner in terms of learning from past mistakes, and genuinely gave the fan base little hope that they would get this hire correct.

In a rare Sunday night recap, Bears Over Beers host Jeff Berckes is joined by Bears Banter host Bill Zimmerman to talk recap and commiserate. They tried their best to cover the following without overheating:
Javon Wims, searching for a new career in boxing?
No Daniels, no Whitehair, and losing Bobbie Massie early left the Bears with three backup offensive linemen. Results were... predictable.
The Follercoaster returns.
Brees gave the Bears chances with two throws in overtime - one to Roquan, one to Eddie - with three Saints fumbles all getting recovered by NOLA.
Alvin Kamara had a big day - Derrick Henry and Dalvin Cook on the docket next.
Allen Robinson is still amazing, and Miller and Mooney played as well as they have all season.
On the other hand... Jimmy Graham shouldn’t be on the field between the 20s, Cole Kmet still not making much of an impact.
