9/12 7AM: Courtney Cronin

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Bears still have an outside chance at being rescued this season. They're favored at home against Dallas and will likely be short underdogs in a winnable game in Vegas. Do you have any confidence the Bears will be 2-2 going into the bye?  Caleb Williams improved on Sunday relative to the MNF opener.  Are you willing to be more patient with Caleb when you see late bloomers across the league? What does that mean for patience with coaching/front office?  How much does Jaylon Johnson's injury factor into this, with it sounding like he's done for the year? Injuries are brutal. Seems unlikely Kyler Gordon will be ready for week 3.

The roster that he assembled over 3 years got it's ass handed to it in Ford Field. .  Abysmal draft record, zero splashy free agents. What has he even done well? Anyone can tear a roster down.
