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. Thanks for listening!

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. Thanks for listening!

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. Thanks for listening! @Bearly_Educated Support our show by joining our Honor Roll!

The 2024 NFL season is underway! We look at the upcoming Bears opener vs the Titans, as well as recap the end of the Bears "Hard Knocks" series.

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-gam...

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 a 3-month summer break, we're back to talk Bears! We discuss summer Bears happenings, what we would like to see in the pre-season, and where we may still have roster concerns.

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 di...

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. Thanks for listening!

Emergency Pod!! Mark checks in from Egypt while Chris is in Kansas to discuss the Bears acquiring one of the best wideouts in the game in Keenan Allen, swapping a 4th pick with the Chargers. We all talk about other moves the Bears have made in free agency so far.

We discuss news from the NFL combine, as it pertains to Caleb Williams and the Bears, as well as where this leaves Justin Fields. It seems like there is an inevitability to the team trading Fields and picking Williams with the first pick in the draft this April. Thanks for listening!

Congrats to Steve McMichael and Devin Hester for making the Hall of Fame! We discuss these players and their impact on the teams they played on as well as the history of the franchise. We also make our Super Bowl picks, and the latest Bears/Caleb Williams rumors. Thanks for listening! @Bearly_Educated BuyMeACoffee.com/Bearly_Educated bearlyeducatedpod@gmail.com

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 Sup...

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. We also make Wild Card weekend predictions. Thanks for listening! @Bearly_Educated BuyMeACoffee.com/Bearly_Educated bearlyeducatedpod@gmail.com

Another year goes by, a 5th since the Bears have beaten their oldest rival, the Green Bay Packers. The Bears looked slow, unprepared, and overmatched. Jordan Love looked fantastic again, and Justin Fields did not. What changes are coming this offseason? We dicuss.

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! Thanks for listening! Support our show and we'll send you a Bearly Educated T-Shirt!

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 d...

It seems like we discuss Justin Fields' and Matt Eberflus' future every week, but every week there is also a different angle or insight that sheds a new light on the discussion. This week is no different! Plus, we preview the upcoming game in Cleveland and what to expect. Thanks for listening! @Bearly_Educated buymeacoffee.com/Bearly_Educated bearlyeducatedpod@gmail.com

The Bears seemed control the entire game; we don't get to say that very often. We discuss the Bears win over the 1st place Lions, and our takeaways. Thanks for watching and listening! @Bearly_Educated buymeacoffee.com/bearly_educated

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. Thanks for listening!

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 res...

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...

Justin Fields is back from injury, and his first game is against the division leading Lions. We discuss our expectations of Fields for the rest of the season, and what he needs to do in order to convince the Bears that he is the franchise quarterback.
