    11/3 6AM: Reaction To The Bears Victory Over The Seahawks 34-17

    Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood reacted to the Bears beating the Seahawks 34-17 on Monday Night Football. From the moment Jeffery Simmons stepped onto the field Monday night, his impact provided the Chicago Bears an immediate return on their investment after trading two first-round picks and a fourth-rounder for the All-Pro defensive tackle last week. The move signaled the Bears are all-in on contending for a Super Bowl, and it paid off Simmons elevated everyone around him on defense, and his impact was felt throughout. Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed less than 50% of his passes with Simmons on the field and was a perfect 5-of-5 with a TD when he was off.

    11/2 6AM: Monday Night Football: Bears vs Seahawks Preview

    Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood previewed Bears vs Seahawks on Monday Night Football, the biggest checkpoint of the Ben Johnson era so far. A win, and the Bears cement themselves as deserving of being called the best team in the NFC. What is the most important thing the Bears must do to beat the Seahawks? This is sneaky for a critical game for the playoffs... A win obviously maintains pace with Green Bay and Detroit and also helps with conference record tiebreakers down the road. A loss would muddy the waters quite a bit. The Bears would be out of the playoffs without a division win, and a 3-3 conference record. Is it fair to call this an early "must win"?

    10/28 6AM: NFL Trade Deadline: The Bears Missed Out On Deforest Buckner!

    Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Bears and the NFL Trade Deadline; can they afford to wait until the deadline to make moves if other teams are starting things off? Partly this was the Colts getting their players to their desired locations, but is the pressure despite the deadline still 2 weeks away? The Colts started their fire sale, and the league trade deadline, moving Quenton Nelson and Deforest Buckner, and it was the Seahawks and 49ers (usual suspects) reaping the early rewards. What is the confidence level that Ryan Poles will join the NFC's elite in making a move to win a Super Bowl?

    10/27 7AM: The Bears Need Depth ASAP!!!!

    Hour 2: Kap & J. Hood discussed some fans would prefer to keep draft capital rather than mortgage the future. Do we agree the Bears are beyond the "sustained success" strategy, and it's time go in for a Super Bowl? Do you believe the Bears need to make a trade, or are they good enough as is to win it all? Are the Bears entering a point where it is fair to view their expectations as Super Bowl or Bust? Per Jordan Schultz, the Bears are connected to Josh Sweat, DeForest Buckner, and Khalil Mack as the trade deadline approaches. I'd most want Josh Sweat from this crop.
