Free Agent Frenzy

Start Kyle Orton ·

2025/03/14

This week on the SKOd we talk about how the Bears continued their offseason dominance (back to back to back offseason champs) and solidified both lines in free agency! So what does Drew Dalman bring to the table, and how good IS this line now? Where will Dayo play? Is Grady Jarrett cooked or is that a solid signing? How good is the defensive line and what does this mean for the legendary Zacch Pickens? Thanks for tuning in!

The Bears Start the Draft Early

Start Kyle Orton ·

2025/03/07

Welcome back! This week we discuss the surprising and extremely welcome moves the Bears made for Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney, then look at the barren wasteland that is this free agency period and draft. So how the hell did the Bears manage to turn a 4th round pick in NEXT year's draft into one of the best guards in the NFL? Jackson is certainly worth a 6th rounder, but can he return to his form from two seasons ago? And are the Bears done? Thanks for listening!

2025 Chicago Bears Offseason Preview!

2025/02/25

Hello and welcome back to a seriously boring offseason! The Bears, having already won the offseason with the hire of Ben Johnson (3 time offseason champs, back to back to back babyyyyyy) now stare down one of the most starless free agent classes in recent memory and a draft that stands two tiers below last year's. So, about those free agents: are we getting Trey Smith? And if not... what CAN we spend all this money on? What does a successful FA/Draft look like for the Bears? And what does it look

Oh Wow We Did the Good Thing!

2025/01/24

The Bears did it, they really did it! For the first time in our lives they made the slam dunk, obvious head coach hire in former Lions OC Ben Johnson. So, how excited are we to have the orchestrator of the best offense in the NFKL over the last two years? (Pretty excited folks). How about his rumored coordinator hires? What does this say about the Bears franchise moving forward? Thanks for listening!

Welcome back folks! Come on in while we rip on Matt Eberflus one last time, discuss our interim head coach (and why we should not by god hire him as our full time head coach), debate turkeys and how likely it is that Travis will have to extricate one from his bowels, and even discuss classic literature!

Welcome back! After our 4 week sabbatical we have returned to talk Bears! Except this week we recorded on Wednesday, JUUUUUUST before that Thanksgiving game. We made some predictions for that game in here as a sort of guess at how we would feel after, but no folks that was not on our bingo card! So what DID we predict? How do we feel about the current state of the Bears? Where were we for the last month? And CAN Flus actually get fired midseason?

Bye Week Fun at the SKOd

Start Kyle Orton ·

2024/10/24

This week on the SKOd we take a momentary break from Bears talk to look around the NFL! What tickled us enough to talk about? Well, how about the Panthers? Are these guys completely cooked as a franchise, and for how long? Is it a cosmically screwed competition between them and the Browns? How about the Commies? The Bears have them this week, with or without Jayden Daniels, so how are they looking? And what of Travis' favorite quarterback Anthony Richardson? All this and more as we wile away the

Start Kyle Orton ·

2024/10/15

Welcome back! The Bears are 4-2 after two blowouts and 14 straight quarters of strong offensive play. What does it all mean? We lavish deserved praise on the Bears on both side of the ball, the coaching, and of course whatever dark god we sold our souls to for Caleb Williams! Beyond that, we discuss how sustainable this is, how the Bears' first two awful offensive weeks have completely destroyed DVOA, and the good vibes heading into a bye week. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the most positive Bears podcast on the internet! Thankfully the Bears have rewarded the SKOd's positivity with two straight wins and 6 quarters (plus one drive) of excellent football defensively AND offensively! So what has been working the last two weeks and why? Is what Caleb is doing sustainable, and how does it compare to what Jayden Daniels is doing in Washington? How about Gervon Dexter's massive season so far? Thanks for listening and welcome to the party!

While we understand where it comes from... folks we're here to reel you back in! What did we like about Caleb and the offense on Sunday? Who is to blame for the Bears' struggles? And can we convince you to stick it out just one more time for these guys? Let's find out!

This week on the SKOd, the guys dissect a 13-19 loss to Houston. It looked a mess in the second half, so who's to blame? What did we think of Caleb's performance? Can this offensive line be saved? And hey, let's not forget how incredible the Bears defense played! We also get in some Bryce Young talk and preview next week's game against the Buckner-less Colts. Thanks for listening! (P.S. we know Kyle's voice is a bit scratchy, we are attempting to isolate the problem and resolve it.)

In the first of two episodes this week the guys are talking the HOF game and training camp! The offensive line is a mess, riddled by injuries and poor play, but what's new? The defense sure looks good, especially these youngsters on the defensive line, though! And Caleb looks like the real deal. We're also breaking down a truly meaningless HOF game and handing out the Dane Sanzenbacher Award for best Mike Hass. Thanks for listening!
