Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears Post Game Show: Closing the 2025 Season at Soldier Field A Familiar Rivalry to End a Frustrating Year The Detroit Lions closed the 2025 NFL season on the road at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears, a setting that has a way of sharpening emotions regardless of records or standings. This finale came with a different weight. Detroit entered the final week knowing the season had fallen short of expectations, and this game became less about playoff math and more about accountability, pride, and clarity heading into the offseason. On our post game show, we will focus on what this final performance says about the Lions as a whole. Was there urgency from the opening drive, or did the game reflect a team still searching for consistency? Division games against Chicago are never meaningless, and the Bears had plenty of motivation to play spoiler while evaluating their own future pieces. A major lens for this discussion will be Jared Goff. As the quarterback and the face of the offense, Goff's play in this game will spark conversation regardless of the outcome. Did he command the offense cleanly? Was the passing game efficient and decisive? Did Detroit finish drives or settle for missed opportunities that defined much of the season? These questions frame the larger evaluation of where the Lions go next. What We Will Break Down on the Post Game Show Tonight's Detroit Lions post game show will unpack the Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears matchup through several key themes: Offensive execution: How well did Detroit move the ball and sustain drives? Were the Lions balanced, or did the offense struggle with familiar issues in protection and timing? Quarterback performance: Goff's decision making, accuracy, and leadership will be a central topic. This game offers one last data point before offseason conversations begin. Defensive effort: Did the Lions play with physicality and discipline against a Bears offense that thrives on mistakes? How well did Detroit handle third downs and red zone situations? Coaching and game management: End of season games often reveal philosophy. We will discuss play calling tendencies, in game adjustments, and whether Detroit showed signs of cohesion or fatigue. Young players and evaluation: Late season games are about the future as much as the present. Which players used this opportunity to make a case for bigger roles next year? Listener Calls and Detroit Lions Reaction As always, the most important part of the post game show is hearing from the fans. We will open the phone lines and take listener calls to capture the full Detroit Lions reaction to this season finale. Was this game a positive step toward resetting expectations, or did it reinforce frustrations that have lingered all year? The tone of this show will reflect a fan base processing a season that promised more than it delivered. There will be honest discussion, measured analysis, and space for emotion. That is what the final week is for. Join us for the Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears Post Game Show as we close out the 2025 season, break down the final performance, and start the conversation about what must change for Detroit to take the next step forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKiy24mVwPY Get yourself a Classic Detroit t-shirt here!

Patrick Finley and Jason Lieser break down the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions and preview Saturday's playoff game against the Packers.

The Bears often don't start well, but they rarely finish poorly, and in the final regular season game of they year they nearly got their act together at the perfect time. In the end, the walk-off loss to the Lions means nothing, except that the team they play next week isn't even as good as Detroit. The RECRAP brought to you by Victor Auto Wreckers, Andy's books on the Cubs, and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular, delves into Caleb's meaningless pursuit of 4,000 yards, the reason the defense plays the way it does, three smart things that Tom Brady said, the last time the Bears won a playoff game against a winning team, the Sun-Times' nonsensical profile of Jeff Joniak, why Pro Football Focus sucks, Andy's new Chuggo podcast idea and much, much more.

This week, we examine cognitive flexibility and its importance for young writers and learners. Listeners will hear clear, classroom-based examples—such as switching from an outside voice to an inside voice, adapting to new assignments, and seeing disappointing grades as growth opportunities. The discussion links cognitive flexibility to writing, emphasizing how it aids in planning, revising, experimenting with different leads and endings, and responding to teacher feedback productively. Practical strategies like perspective-taking, word play, experimentation, writing within constraints, and goal-setting are shared to help teachers develop this skill. The episode also features picture book mentor texts such as Don't Feed the Bears, Beautiful Oops, The Dot, and One Word from Sophia, using them as springboards to discuss flexible thinking with students.Sources MentionedDr. Nelson CowanPip the Guide DogValerie Boling podcastJess Mazzonne's postMindset by Carol Dweck Beauty of Opinion Writing podcastOne Word From SophiaThanks to our affiliate, Zencastr!

Week 2 Rerun, January Jolt The Detroit Lions Podcast opened with a shot of adrenaline from September. The NFL Network replayed the Week 2 demolition of the Chicago Bears. Detroit 52, Chicago 21. Jared Goff threw for 334 yards and five touchdowns with zero interceptions. Jahmyr Gibbs ripped 94 yards on the ground. David Montgomery added 57. Jameson Williams cleared 100 receiving yards and turned short catches into three touchdowns under 15 yards. The defense took the ball away twice and rang up four sacks. Tyson Bagent mopped up in garbage time. Jack Campbell flashed. Aidan Hutchinson collected a pair. Brian Branch made plays. It felt like a statement. After a flat Week 1 in Green Bay, that win reset the temperature on the season. For a minute, Detroit sat atop NFL power polls and looked like the class of the NFC. That broadcast stung a little. It reminded everyone what this roster looked like at full strength and how quickly it turned. Promise met attrition. Confidence met slippage on both sides of the ball. The Week 2 tape is still proof of concept. It is also a measuring stick for what has been lost. From Firepower to Triage The current injury sheet is brutal. Alex Anzalone is out with a concussion after a failed midweek push. Penei Sewell is out. Alim McNeill is out with an abdominal injury. Kerby Joseph is out. Brian Branch is out. Sam LaPorta is out. S C.J. Moore's replacement depth has thinned, and even “Harper” snaps matter now because the room is down three safeties. Avonte Maddox will play, but the secondary is patched together. Up front, the tackle plan is a guess. Giovanni Manu was not activated. Miles Frazier could be forced into a spot. Dan Skipper likely logs heavy work. Maybe “Yode” slides outside. Taylor Decker is fighting through it and has earned the benefit of the doubt. None of that stabilizes protection. It raises a real question about whether Goff should finish the season finale behind a compromised line. The idea of Kyle Allen getting meaningful snaps has merit. It is evaluation and preservation rolled into one. Season Finale Math The finale arrives tomorrow with little on the line for the Detroit Lions in the NFL standings. The Bears, the team Detroit roasted in September, have since won the division and are chasing the two seed. They get Green Bay next week. That development colors the mood. Detroit once ran away from Chicago. Now the roster is a shell of that September juggernaut. The calculus is simple. Health over hollow pride. Avoid new long-term injuries to Goff, Montgomery, Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and anyone already managing pain. Every sprain and strain now steals offseason recovery time. There is value in a winning record. There is much more value in a healthy spring. Use the finale to protect core pieces, test depth, and get out clean. The Week 2 blowout still matters. It shows what the Detroit Lions can be when whole. The job now is to make sure the next chance to look like that arrives with the roster intact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvnuoB40it8 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #offensiveline #injuries #schedule #draft #quarterback #jaredgoff #taylordecker #offensivelineinjuries #offensivelinedepth #quarterbackplay Learn more about your ad choices.

As the 2025 NFL regular season reaches its final weekend, Missing the Point breaks down Week 18 of the NFL season, the finalized playoff picture, and the quarterbacks who defined the year. Hosted by Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly, this episode delivers a full NFL playoff preview along with in-depth 2025 NFL quarterback power rankings based on what actually happened on the field. This is not a preseason projection episode. This is about who earned it. Dave and Bob analyze the top teams heading into the postseason, including the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and Philadelphia Eagles. They break down matchups, seeding implications, and which teams look built to survive January football. A major focus of the episode is the 2025 NFL quarterback power rankings, where Dave and Bob rank quarterbacks based on full-season performance, not reputation. They evaluate efficiency, consistency, decision-making, durability, supporting cast impact, and how much each quarterback elevated his team. Quarterbacks discussed include Drake Maye of the Patriots, Caleb Williams of the Bears, Josh Allen of the Bills, Lamar Jackson of the Ravens, Brock Purdy of the 49ers, Matthew Stafford of the Rams, Jalen Hurts of the Eagles, Bo Nix of the Broncos, Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars, and Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs. Dave explains why some quarterbacks who entered the season with MVP expectations failed to meet the moment, while others quietly established themselves as legitimate franchise leaders. Bob adds context around coaching stability, offensive scheme, and how late-season performance often tells the real story heading into the playoffs. The episode also previews Wild Card Weekend, discussing which teams are dangerous lower seeds, which favorites feel vulnerable, and which quarterbacks are under the most pressure once the postseason begins. The conversation highlights how Week 18 results, recent trends, and injury context shape expectations far more than early-season narratives. Key topics covered in this episode include: NFL Week 18 playoff seeding scenarios 2025 NFL playoff preview and Wild Card matchups Full NFL quarterback power rankings Patriots and Bears postseason expectations Which quarterbacks can win playoff games Teams built for January football Late-season trends that matter in the playoffs If you’re searching for NFL Week 18 analysis, 2025 NFL playoff preview, NFL quarterback rankings, Patriots playoff breakdown, Bears postseason outlook, or who the best quarterbacks in the NFL were this season, this episode delivers detailed, opinion-driven analysis without hot takes or manufactured controversy.

Season 7, Episode 17 kicks off with Dan Fox and Frank Knight ringing in the New Year with a special guest appearance from Tyler, plus the usual basement-studio banter and word-policing: it's “Happy New Year,” not “Happy New Year's,” and Frank is prepared to die on that hill. With Allen Action Jackson out for the night, the crew leans into a lighter opening, Raiders misery, owner jokes, and a quick check-in on the Colts' season collapse, including how offensive line injuries can turn a contender into a cautionary tale.From there, Frank unveils a mini trivia game that instantly becomes an on-air struggle for Dan, until Tyler and Brian (in the background) step in as lifelines. Highlights include the revelation that there are seven NFL officials on the field, old-school quarterback history featuring Terry Bradshaw, a “slow 40-yard dash” trick question that lands on Tom Brady, and the ultimate completions milestone: Brett Favre as the lone member of the 6,000-completion club. The group caps trivia with a bonus stumper: which current head coach rushed for more yards than Bo Jackson? (Jim Harbaugh—quarterback legs count too.)Then the show turns serious with a full recap of Week 17, starting with the Christmas Day slate and rolling through the weekend's games, playoff implications, and draft-position drama:Key Week 17 takeaways:Cowboys over Washington (30–23), a win Dan will take, even if it doesn't prove much.Vikings shock Lions (23–10), officially knocking Detroit out of playoff contention and forcing a full offseason reset.Broncos handle the broken Chiefs (20–13), but Dan remains skeptical that Bo Nix can carry them beyond the AFC Championship tier.Texans over Chargers (20–16), another defensive showcase that reinforces Houston as a legitimate January problem.Browns upset Steelers (13–6) in a game that exposed Pittsburgh's offensive limitations—especially without DK Metcalf.Patriots crush Jets (42–10), as New England continues to look like a real contender.Saints beat Titans (34–26), with New Orleans' quarterback trendline still pointing up.Jaguars stay hot at Colts (23–17), while Indy's year continues to unravel.Dolphins upset Bucs (20–17), leading to a blunt discussion of Todd Bowles and Tampa's lack of consistency.Seahawks take care of Panthers (27–10), with the group agreeing Seattle's ceiling depends entirely on whether “Bad Sam Darnold” shows up at the wrong moment.Bengals torch Cardinals (37–14), followed by more pointed commentary on Joe Burrow's public frustration and what responsibility looks like when you're the face of the franchise.Giants destroy Raiders (34–10) in the “draft-position bowl,” flipping the spotlight to how teams behave when the No. 1 pick is on the line—and how ugly it can look in real time.Eagles edge Bills (13–12) in a messy, rain-soaked game that felt like a potential Super Bowl preview.49ers survive Bears in a late shootout, with Chicago nearly stealing it on the final play.As always, the episode balances serious football analysis with the crew's trademark sarcasm, plus a running thread of frustration about teams that look like they're “managing outcomes” late in the season, whether for seeding, health, or draft position.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

(The Center Square) – A new Chicago budget is set to take effect, even though the city's mayor refused to sign it. Flanked by Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates and several aldermanic allies, Mayor Brandon Johnson said Tuesday he would not sign or veto the budget passed by the city council last Saturday, but he would let it take effect to avoid risk or speculation of a government shutdown. The $16.7 billion spending plan includes higher taxes on cloud computing, liquor and plastic bags, along with rideshare surcharges and a roughly $1 billion sweep of tax-increment financing funds to Chicago Public Schools.Read more:Chicago mayor refuses to sign or veto budget at 'not a campaign event'Chicago council, 'starting to legislate,' sends $16.7 billion budget to mayorIL rep: As if Bears 'had a plan to rob the bank' before considering IndianaGas prices drop, but taxes make Illinois pricier than Midwest neighborsDOJ lawsuit against Illinois draws support from election integrity advocates  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
