Hour 2:  Kap & J. Hood discussed if you had magic wand and can wave it and fix one key issue with the Bears this weekend — what issue makes the game end in a win? Is it penalties? Is it the play of the quarterback? Is it defensive line pressure? What flaw is going to contribute the most to winning games?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed what's most important for the Bears on Sunday: Winning by any means necessary, or Caleb looking good against a bad defense? This is more about what outcome would make you feel better as a fan: a shootout loss where Caleb is dominant, or another grind out victory like we got against New Orleans, Washington, and Las Vegas? I'm not presenting these as mutually exclusive, rather:  Is Caleb looking good the most important aspect for Sunday's game?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams, are fans lowering the bar as far as expectations?  It seems to me like a lot of fans are more than happy to be patient with him and allow him a lot of grace in the face of great play from other 2nd year players, which begs the question: Would you accept if Caleb were merely a good NFL QB? Not great, certainly not generational, but just good? Maybe a different framing: Would you be okay if he were a guy, you can win a Super Bowl with, instead of because of?
