Chicago Shuffle: A Chicago Bears Pod

WEEK 8: BEARS 23 - SAINTS 26 - In the weirdest game of the year, the Bears were exposed once again.

Episode Notes

Host Zach Lee is joined by SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell to break down the Bears' 26-23 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Overtime. We discuss:

• The incredible opening series on offense where everything went right
• The momentum-shifting end of half sequence where the Bears fail in the red zone, kick a field goal, call a timeout during the Saints drive to get the ball back, and then give up a touchdown while in a soft prevent defense to totally shift the tenor of the game.
• The myriad injuries on both sides of the football, including a now-decimated offensive line. How bad can worse get? We're about to find out.
• The Javon Wims Captain Insane-o necklace rip and double punch. What in the entire hell
• The margin of error for this bears team
• The road ahead and how likely the playoffs are now.
• Many inappropriate references and mumbled curses
