Welcome back to the Charter podcast, brought to you by St. Xavier University of Ruthie Polinsky, alongside Clay Harbor, my co-host on the Big Pro Football Show on Chicago Sports Network, and we are here to talk more about the Chicago Bears.

And Clay, I guess we'll start here because after having a few days to think about

this game in Arizona, I am more disappointed by what happened in Arizona than I am and what

happened in Washington. And I don't, I think it's obviously because we're looking at the response

Mary as it's now been labeled.

And it was just exactly what I think all Bears fans didn't want to see.

They lacked energy from the get go.

They lacked effort throughout the whole game.

They were unprepared.

They didn't have a good game plan.

the half is what really took the air out of the balloon. But I think they weren't in that game really from the

start. And I think that's really what is so frustrating and disappointing because it was an

opportunity in front of them to get right after that Washington loss. And they couldn't capitalize on

it. And I know a lot of Bears fans are sitting there and they're saying, man, same old bears.
