The Halas Huddle: A Chicago Bears show

The 2024 NFL Combine has come to a close. Many thought Justin Fields would be traded by now. That isn't the case, but it does seem like it is just a matter of time as multiple reports have the Chicago Bears trading Fields and drafting Caleb Williams or another high-end quarterback prospect. Rob and Justin put their GM hats on and ran a full seven-round mock draft. After trading Justin Fields to th...

We are less than a month away from the start of free agency. In this mock offseason, the Chicago Bears find a way to bring back Jaylon Johnson before he explores free agency. It might be on the franchise tag but a deal is on the horizon. Rob, Justin, and Bob rank every position on the Chicago Bears roster and determine which areas are considered must-fill positions in either free agency, the 2024...

The writing has been on the wall for the last two years, but it appears that Eddie Jackson is officially done in Chicago. The Chicago Bears free safety went to social media and posted a couple of cryptic tweets that insinuated he was not going to be on the Bears' roster in 2024. For the last two years, Eddie Jackson was considered a possible cap casualty. He is now going to be owed $18 million in...

The quarterback debate continues among analysts and fans as the Chicago Bears continue their evaluations of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and others ahead of the NFL Combine. Ryan Poles loves to run through offseason mock drafts and other offseason scenarios. He now needs to start considering hypothetical 2024 NFL Draft trade scenarios and determine what trade packages he'd actually accept to move do...

The Chicago Bears have announced that they are hiring Shane Waldron to be their next offensive coordinator. This news broke AFTER our recording, but was he one of the top candidates? Did Ryan Pace and Matt Eberflus make the right hire? SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel if you agree with "F the Packers!" Hit the LIKE button if you enjoyed that Jordan Love interception vs SF!

This is Part 2 of a Chicago Bears mini mock offseason. The Bears are facing the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17 with less than a 1% chance at making the playoffs. With help, the Bears could sneak into the playoffs this year or at least have something to play for in Week 18. Ryan Poles needs to make a decision about Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields. They are not necessarily connected but in this mock off...

The Chicago Bears are likely to keep Ryan Poles as their general manager heading into the 2024 offseason. However, Poles has some serious decisions to make about the future of the Bears organization. Poles needs to decide if the recent wins are enough to keep Matt Eberflus around beyond 2023. As it stands, he's only won nine games in just less than two years. However, the team's recent success on...

Do not look now, but the Chicago Bears are officially in the hunt for the 2023 NFL playoffs. Matt Eberflus has helped rally the team to a 5-4 record over the last nine weeks. This includes the team's first back-to-back wins under Eberflus and two wins over the NFC North. Ryan Poles has helped turn things around with his trade for Montez Sweat. Sweat has helped transform this defense from a bottom-...

One of the main arguments I hear from anyone discussing Justin Fields as the Chicago Bears quarterback is that he fumbles the ball too much. Although he has proven to have an issue with holding onto the ball, that doesn't mean anything without the full context. Rob tracked all of Fields' fumbles to find out just how negative of an impact they had on the game. I knew there would be some misrepresen...

The Chicago Bears found a way to beat the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football despite not scoring a single touchdown. What kind of win is that? The Bears need to learn how to win, but this was so ugly that it's hard to get too excited. The positive is that Justin Fields finally found a way to lead a fourth-quarter winning drive, but Luke Getsy definitely had him handcuffed in this game. The...

The Chicago Bears collapsed and allowed the Lions to creep back in and win 31-26 on Sunday. The loss helps in the Bears' hopes for two high draft picks, but it continues to show how far this team is from competing. From 2022 to 2023, the Chicago Bears had plenty of turnover. Roughly 50% of the roster changed and we can expect a large number of players moving on with new faces arriving in 2024 too....

The Chicago Bears found a way to win against the Carolina Panthers in Week 10. The win was ugly, but Tyson Bagent did just enough to help the Bears come out on top. Truly, the Bears' defense was the main reason for the win. The team is now 3-3 over its last six games, but just how good can this team be by the end of the 2023 season? Rob and Justin look at the chances of Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflu...

The Chicago Bears just lost to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. It was another one-score game that Matt Eberflus and the Bears could not overcome. Statistically, the Chicago Bears outplayed the Saints in many ways, but five turnovers (three interceptions and two fumbles) are difficult to overcome. With only two wins this season, the Chicago Bears made a move for the now and the future. Ryan Poles...

The trade deadline is on Halloween this year. Will Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears look for some trick-or-treating of their own or will they turn the lights off and go to bed early? As of now, Jaylon Johnson is the hot name as the NFL trade deadline draws near. After recording this podcast, it was reported that Johnson is requesting a trade and the Chicago Bears gave him permission to seek a trad...

The Chicago Bears found a way to win their second game this season. Luke Getsy kept things relatively simple as Tyson Bagent got the football out quickly, dinking and dunking to a 30-12 victory. How did Justin Fields handle the performance? Did D'Onta Foreman do enough to prove he should be on the active roster going forward? Will the Chicago Bears move Justin Fields along slowly after seeing Tyso...

The Chicago Bears are in a tough spot now that Justin Fields looks to be missing some serious time. Before we recorded, the report was that Fields could be back as soon as next week to out for the season. Now, it's more likely that he is going to miss at least 4 weeks due to a dislocated thumb, but could still be lost for the year. We await an MRI on Monday. Tyson Bagent time is upon us as he came...

The Chicago Bears came out strong once again in Week 5. This time they kept their foot on the gas and finished with a 40-20 win over the Commanders. The Chicago Bears have had back-to-back strong performances by the offense. In Week 5, most of that came from Justin Fields and DJ Moore. Can they keep that connection going vs. the Vikings in Week 6? Don't look now, but Justin Fields is on pace for a...

Rob and Justin discuss the Week 4 collapse by the Chicago Bears to the Denver Broncos. They discuss poor coaching decisions, poor play, and the now 14-game losing streak of the Chicago Bears. Although Justin Fields had probably his best game statistically as a passer, he still failed to come through in the clutch. Rob and Justin discuss whether the Bears should be preparing to move on from Justin...

The Chicago Bears were embarrassed in Week 3. The team was unprepared to play and allowed the Chiefs to take a 34-0 lead into halftime. The game was 41-0 quickly into the third quarter and if Patrick Mahomes wasn't pulled, who knows what the final score would have been. Justin Fields finished with less than 100 yards passing. The offense looked flat. The play-calling was once again questionable —...

The Chicago Bears have struggled early in the 2023 NFL season. Justin Fields and company are 0-2 on the year and things have not looked good on either side of the football. This week will be tough for the Bears as they face off against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Will the Chicago Bears find a way to bounce back or will they remain without a victory? Rob and Justin go over the injur...

The Chicago Bears are now 0-2 on the season and headed to Kansas City to face the reigning Super Bowl champions. We can expect a 0-3 start to the season for the Bears and Justin Fields. After two games, the Chicago Bears have looked bad all around minus a few players here and there. Justin Fields looks pedestrian and does not seem like he took that next step. He looks broken and has only won 5 gam...

Justin Fields will have an opportunity to restart the rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers. Recent history has not been friendly to the Chicago Bears as the Packers have dominated the matchup. However, Aaron Rodgers is now gone and Jordan Love is the new face in Green Bay. The Chicago Bears should win this game and take an early lead in the division. Justin and Rob discuss the k...

Note: This episode was recorded prior to the PJ Walker and Alex Leatherwood news. The Chicago Bears lost to the Buffalo Bills in their final preseason game. Justin Fields did not look sharp, more injuries to the offensive line and Tyson Bagent gets the nod as QB2. Who stood out in this game? Now that the preseason is over, Rob and Justin go through the roster and predict which players will be stic...

The Chicago Bears are preparing for Week 3 of the preseason vs the Bills. Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus have made some key moves this offseason. Now, it is time for the Bears to make a change at the quarterback position. P.J. Walker must be moved behind Tyson Bagent — making Bagent QB2. Terrell Lewis and Trevis Gipson need to be moved up too. Neither belong where they are and Lewis deserves to be t...
