I love Jahns’ practicality and putting first things first mentality. It’s definitely more muted than the overhyped schedule release shows that get so superfluous after a while.

[@NewToneProducer]

What he said at 14:08 about being 7-10 makes zero sense.

[@JojoTheMongol]

I think people are still confused since we had the number 1 pick again and think we barely won any games.

[@NewToneProducer]

@@JojoTheMongol I wish they corrected him

[@JojoTheMongol]

​@NewToneProducer they rarely if ever challenge guests. I get it, you do not want to be a combative podcast but they should call out just flat out wrong takes. Clearly this guy did zero research on the Bears before going on a Bears pod.

[@vague2263]

This guy's a dope.

[@johnkramer2896]

Was just thinking the same thing. He clearly doesn’t know anything about the bears. We went 7-10 last year 😂

[@conciliopuella]

Don't really understand this conversation. The Bears will have 5 games (potentially 6) where they will be the only game on TV. That actually seems like a lot to me. Also, they do have a 3:25 game scheduled.

[@teddysurdyk928]

This guy mentions percentage of households in KC and Buffalo, but the reality is that Chicago can afford to have a smaller percentage of households watching just due to the shear population size difference between The Chicagoland area population being SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than either of those areas. In fact, if you combine the metro areas of KC and Buffalo, its barely a THIRD of the Chicago Metro area, so the percentage of households would need to be over 3 times more than Chicago.

[@sNNNNNable]

I don't understand the schedule says the Bears play the cards and 9ers at 3:05 and 3:25 why do we keep saying they don't have any?

[@StewMain6]

The moment he said 7-10. 🫠 tell me more about you know football and the Chicago Bears so well. Bears were 7-10 last year. Barring injury, the bears should have a better record given they improved at qb, rb, offensive coordinator, wr, te, safety.. shoot even punter. So a 7-10 record would not be a good thing for ratings for the bears going into 2025

[@robvoase]

Give me as many sunday midday and afternoon games as possible given I live in the UK!

[@acbc2001]

The ball should be spread around more due to the added weapons alone! The added weapons without pads should look great!

[@alexamerling79]

Yes we are

[@biggblack5]

I'm with Jahns, I pay no attention to the schedule release, it don't mean 💩 to me. I'm also with him on Thursday games as well, most of those games suck because the players bodies haven't even recovered for the game they just played 4 days before.

[@Hiphiphooray490]

Yet a deeper dive into how TV schedules are created? Maybe interesting to podcasters but not football fans.

[@jameswhite6674]

I’m with Jahns, don’t understand the schedule release hype 🤔

[@user-bi8wq5jg8l]

By 5:35

[@lonniealonzo5203]

If no serious injuries, Da Bears can win at the least 10 games!!!...That will put them at 10-7🫣🤔🙄🫣

[@racecar90]

The panthers have five 4 o’clock games. Two of them in the 4:25 slot. Do networks think they are a big draw? Doesn’t make much sense.

[@johnkramer2896]

Don’t have that guest on again. Seems like a nice guy but just a horrible take on the bears going 7-10 this year lol. Did he do any research before coming on the show?

[@SVdreamin]

If Caleb stumbles out of the gate and Flus doesn’t meet expectations they easily could.

[@johnkramer2896]

@@SVdreamin That’s not the point of what he was saying. Listen to it again to understand the context

[@Curtis.Dimes.]

Tell yoy what Jahns.. for the Bears TNF how about you can stay home and make my sales and ill travel and deal with the traffic to watch The Bears in the press box. Deal?

[@danielcarroll3ify]

Here's a bet: Which Bears game gets moved to prime time (if, any)?

[@conciliopuella]

Week 16 or Week 18

[@YoungDrizzy23]

Hoge went viral?😂

[@bk138gt6]

No, they aren't. They won 7 games last year and the Vegas line on wins and losses hasn't moved from 8.5 in months.
All this hyperbole is based on nothing more than hype. And I'm exhausted and nauseated by it.

[@MikeMike-qb6oy]

Go touch some grass, jeez

[@jarrodschobert9763]

Idgaf about the schedule it's irrelevant just go play and win

[@user-ij7xv5xi4n]

Who cares ??

[@Fergz34]

Then don’t watch?
