I’ve been in preseason mode for too long, so I fully intend to get back to more weighty written content in the next coming weeks. For now though, one last lightweight review of Saturday’s game as told through tweets and a podcast.

Your Turn: What are you looking for from today’s joint practice session with Cincinnati?

Your Turn: What do you think about the recent offensive reports?

Traditionally, the Bear With Us podcast is a grounded, analysis-focused take on the Chicago Bears.

That’s great for the middle of the season, but right now it’s June. Theoretically we could always talk more about OTAs, or maybe talk about the Haason Reddick and Aaron Rodgers drama, but now that we’re into the dead of the offseason I had a better idea — for one week, Nick and I allowed ourselves to be as recklessly positive as we felt like. The episode that resulted is an absolute firecracker.

Tune into this week’s episode for:

• My theory on how the Bears may be coincidentally positioned to catch the NFL in a 2-3 year downswing
• Nick’s theory on Caleb Williams’ potential 2024 season results
• A short discussion on whether Rome Odunze will end his career holding Chicago’s career WR yardage record… as well as whether he’ll be the first current Bear to claim it
• And much, much more…

Your Turn: How are you feeling about the 2024 Chicago Bears?

Due to JW’s (fabulous) series from last week, we left a Bear With Us episode off the site.

If you’re looking for content today, Nick & I predicted the 2024 Bears’ record by reviewing the schedule game by game. Check it out below!

Your Turn: What do you think the Bears’ record will be in 2024?

Last Friday saw the latest Bear With Us launch, covering Caleb Williams and the #9 overall pick…

And then over the weekend, Jeff and I caught up on what he’s hearing about #9 overall (plus a full mock of the craziness that may lead up to Chicago’s pick.

More Nine at #9 tomorrow.

Your Turn: Does the draft still feel far away? Or does it finally feel around the corner?

It’s been a busy week for me in real life, so thanks for putting up with two audio posts back to back. Hoping to dig into some film by the end of the week.

Nick and I had a blast recording this last one — we talk through…

• Where Vegas has the Bears’ current Over/Under (8.5 wins) and what we think about that
• Caleb Williams’ Pro Day
• The Keenan Allen addition & how he fits into the Bears’ puzzle
• What to do at #9 Overall
• What to expect from Caleb Williams as a rookie
• And much, much more
