  • Love Briggs & Brown

    It’s pretty good content until Carm gets the mic. I find myself yelling β€œjust shut up!!” Often when Carm talks. Other hosts need the ability to mute him, often. Carm - Sorry man, I’m sure you are fun to have a beer with, but you are brutal on the mic.

  • Love my bears but Carm is a bitter, cold soled little man with a terrible attitude

    Great podcast but carm is such a vibe killer. He’s rude and mean to the other members, joking or not. It’s not pleasant to listen to him. The rest of the guys are great

RIVALRY TALK: What are Reasonable Expectations for Bears vs Packers in 2026? | CHGO Bears
Q: What is a reasonable expectation for Bears vs Packers this year?

Q: What is the ceiling of the current roster if everything goes right?
The consensus answer among the hosts and Sam is that the ceiling could be winning the Super Bowl, though some argue it may be more tempered due to defensive issues like pass rush.
