The Bear Weather Fans Podcast

We were so. Close. Your beloved hosts have an Irish wake for maybe the greatest season of their lives, while never forgetting that we were so. Close.

Coach Bob wrestles with what to do with these feelings of this being his favorite game in his life. Patrick has an hour too many of talking points to commemorate the first PLAYOFF WIN episode. The Bear Weather Fans in-house band has a new intro song for the occasion. Get in here and celebrate how far we've come.

Your beloved hosts take stock of the Bears at the end of the season, note all the many ways we exceeded expectations, and finally, look ahead at what could be.

Your beloved hosts Coach Bob and Patrick discuss the odd peace fans are feeling as NFC North Champions after the loss against one of the best offenses in the NFL. Caleb is clearly A Guy, the Bears are clearly a perennial playoff team, and Collinsworth is clearly in need of taking his Mahomes magazine away from the broadcast booth. Will the loss affect the playoff seeding? Will the offense be healthy going into them? Will your hosts holiday broadcast after a near-lethal amount of eggnog make up for the terrible audio quality? Find out this time on BEAR WEATHER FANS

Your hosts hold a candle in reverie to one of the greatest games you will ever see.

NFL records are being set by our QB. Our coach is prepping us for the postseason with a head of steam. Our DC is cobbling together a top turnover-producing defense every single week with a new rotation of guys off the street. Our OL is earning their place as maybe the best in the NFL. We're not used to this! oh yeah listen to your hosts talk about it

Your beloved hosts break down a surprisingly fun episode for such an infuriating loss. Will Ben Johnson learn from his tendency of calling the same pass every 4th down? Will Dennis Allen learn to stop a deep post? Will DJ Moore learn anything at all about player receiver in Ben Johnson's offense? Tune in to find out!

Your revered hosts discuss the 9-3 Chicago Bears. The Super Bowl champ-stomping Chicago Bears. The NFC-leading Chicago Bears.

You read the title. You know what you're getting into. Get in here. Bear Down.

Have you heard the one about the Bears tallying up another unlikely win against a strong defense through some late-game heroics and a game-winning drive to end it in the final seconds? Oh you have? Well ENJOY THE REPLAY

Your gallant hosts point out how ahead of the curve we all were, and celebrate yet another win. What a miraculous season! What a miraculous QB! What a miraculous team!

Oh just one of those days where a 7th round rookie RB makes his first career start and puts up 170+ yards on the ground while the QB throws 280+ 3TD 0INTs. Just one of those days. In the words of America's favorite co-host and esteemed coach: This. Is. Different.

Losses happen, but man there's lots to talk about. Tune in.

Incredible defensive play with crazy turnovers! Phenomenal run game! QB play also happened! Tune in!

Yet another incredible nail-biting Bears win! Another weird vendetta against Caleb by the color commentator! Another botch job courtesy of clearly partisan refs! 

The season is a 1/4 through! Your frankly saintly hosts look back at all the storylines of concern going into the season - "can Caleb play on time?" "Can Caleb stop taking sacks?" "Is Ben Johnson a spreadsheet nerd who belongs not on an NFL field, but instead stuffed in a locker?" - and check in to see if we've gotten answers (we have! It's frankly crazy how many we already have answers to!). Stats are here - stats like you've never seen! There's words about Ben Johnson, the offensive playcaller, the situational coach, and the rah-rah maniac. There's a look around the NFL, and which teams are emerging as flawless and unbeatable (none!). There's a look at who's coming back onto the roster next week and beyond. Finally, the whole thing ends with a frankly uncomfortably heartfelt speech on the specialness of this moment in time from two fans who, at the end of the day, care about this kind of thing a whole lot. It's sincere! It's hopeful! It's honestly unlike us! Listen in for the whole thing!

Your hosts celebrate a win, question why the general media coverage is frowning on it, and note the difference between this team and last, this line and others, and Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels

Join your esteemed hosts and cohosts alike as they revel in Bob's comment last episode - you can see it, and this week, you did. Trivia, excessive game recapping that's essentially just foaming at the mouth over our own highlights, and of course everybody's favorite new minigame "Real Or Fake Tyler Dunne Quote?".

52 points guys. We all know the solution - put in Bagent. In lieu of that, your celebrated hosts look at other routes going forward, reasons for optimism, and play one of the dumbest minigames in podcast history.

Your revered co-hosts recap the outrageous fourth-quarter collapse against a division rival, look at the Ben Johnson era's first game, contemplate the death of Cairo Santos' leg, and try not to lose sanity over the mysterious case of the Caleb Williams scattershot problem

Bust? Prima donna? Uncoachable? Media distraction? Your celebrated co-hosts take on the great debate of Caleb Williams which, it turns out, is actually pretty dumb and is pretty one-sided. 

Your exhaulted hosts review all the Ryan Poles moves he's made so far, along with how the team's shaping up going into the season.

It's the preseason Coach Episode spectacular! No depth chart talk, no schedule talk, no Tyson Bagent talk (alright that's a lie, there's a little), just one very special episode about the new coaching staff. Join in as your intrepid hosts evaluate the merits of Ben Johnson and his coaching staff, and both independently come to the realization that we should be more embarassed of the past.

We ended the season by beating the Packers, tying the playoff wins of every NFCN team, and poaching the reason for the Lions' historic season. Your beloved hosts break down the meaning of the end-of-season beating of the Packers, then wax poetic for an hour on just how good of a head coach prospect Ben Johnson really is. It's going to be an exciting season, and a bright future. Until then, see you next season, and Bear Down.

We are bad. Our offense is bad. Our defense is bad. We are bad.

what else is there to even say

The obituary for the Eberflus era, and looking at what it all means, and who's truly at fault for what in god's name we just witnessed

The best game of Caleb's career. Thomas Brown scheming up guys against the best defense in the NFL. The OL playing their best game. The defense playing 3.8 fantastic quarters. OVERTIME AGAINST A DEEP PLAYOFF CONTENDER Anyways give it a listen

We lost. Against the Packers. Thanks to Eberflus' inane decisions despite a solid effort from the whole team. No, this isn't a rerun, this technically was a new game, even if it was also every other Bears game you've ever seen.

Join your renowned cohosts as they go over the woeful offensive performance, the Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron's firing, and the smoke around the insidious problem that can't be ignored (it's not what you think! It's worse! Somehow!).

This loss is, without a doubt, the worst event that could possibly happen this week.

So the Bears went on the road against a very good team, held them to 18 points, and were winning as the clock ticked down to zero.   BUT   Anyways you know. Consider this a group therapy session. It's cathartic. It's healthy. Ignore why Pat's blood pressure is so high. It's fine. IT'S FINE

We won and we won because the whole team crushed it. Get in here for some frothing meatball ranting

This is just an hour of high-fiving and flexing. Get in here.

Your beloved hosts break down the steady ascent of the offense, the steadfast pressure of the defense, and of course the most impressive rookie punting game any of us has ever seen. Tune in! 

The Bears lost. It's true. Hopefully that's not a spoiler. Sorry if it was (why are you here if you didn't know that?) BUT There was some great improvement! Personnel useage! Roschon Johnson! Oh and CALEB THREW FOR 363 YARDS AND 2 TDS! Live through the pain, the triumph, the highs, the lows, as we break down this painful loss.

Good news! The Bears Defense played lights out! Like, maybe the best game of the Eberflus era! But there is other stuff. Anyways listen.

Your esteemed hosts go over the first win of the season! Caleb Williams has never lost an NFL game! He may never! Ignore the stat sheet and tune in and celebrate this ridiculous, hilarious, memorable win.

Your historically notable hosts Patrick and Coach Bob look at the passing and receiving records for the Bears and, after they're done weeping, go on to see how this offense stacks up at taking a crack at those. They celebrate an upcoming season! Look at the positional groups! Plan the super bowl parade! It's all here, now! Or whenever you press play! Hit it multiple times for that matter, it makes our stats look better! I don't know how to end this episode description, should i just trai

Join your award-winning* hosts as they digest an offense that started cold for 3 straight drives before flashing greatness, Tory Taylor the Greatest Punter to Ever Exist, and a secondary that's starting to look like one of the best in the game. *Being awarded "most hatemail" is still technically an award

Defensive lineman playing lights out! A wide receiver corps that's knocking on the door of best in the league! Oh and the BEST QB in the draft (for the past several years?) Join your revered hosts Patrick and Coach Bob as they salivate over what we have in front of us for an hour. Heck, play it on loop, this is the good life.

There's so much going on! There's so much to talk about! Hall of fame game! Hard Knocks! Jaylon Johnson contract extension! DJ Moore contract extension! Every lineman's injured!  And your beloved hosts discuss... none of that. Sit back, and relive the joys of how outrageously historic this point is Bears history is.

A super quick breakdown of what the Bears most likely WILL do vs what they probably SHOULD do. Super quick. Ignore the episode runtime, that's a typo.  Super quick.

It was snowing. It was New Years Eve. It was maybe Justin Fields' last game at soldier field(?) And we dominated. Holy Ditka we dominated. "But we're not even in the playoffs anymore, technically we—" PUT A SAUSAGE IN IT. THIS GAME WAS AWESOME

No time to recap, listen to the episode. Merry Christmas.

The Bears won. That's good. The Bears offense failed to score a touchdown. That's bad. The Bears defense forced 4 turnovers. That's good. The Bears offense attempted 5 of 37 passes beyond 10 yards. That's bad.

THE ULTIMATE BATTLE OF BEARS VS FORMER BEARS KICKERS REACHES ITS FINAL CONCLUSION WHO WILL HANDLE AUGUSTA SILENCE WITH MORE POISE? WHO WILL BE SET UP WORSE BY THEIR HEAD COACH? FIND OUT THIS TIME, ON BEAR WEATHER FANS

Pat shoves an inordinant amount of trivia down Coach Bob's throat as the duo wrestles with the idea how much there is left to the season and how little of it matters. Coach Bob waxes poetic about Tyson Bagent, as is his right, while Pat willingly leaves coach Bob in denial since it'll be funnier down the line.

So, yes, the Bears are bad. And, yes, there is some Bear Weather Fans Trivia that will shock you to your core (assuming your core believes the Bears are actually Super Bowl contenders). But on the positives, Darnell Wright. Also [other entries in list]
