00:02:51
Bhupen

00:02:55
Trio of Positivity
Oh, God.
00:02:56
Mike
The fact that you watched a 15 minute video makes me well aware that you were on a 14 hour flight.
00:02:59
Bhupen
It's actually pretty fascinating.
00:03:03
Bhupen
i was at a 14 hour flight.
00:03:04
Trio of Positivity
Boys, listen, before we get started, we start talking about the NFL. There's one thing I want to
NBA Nostalgia and Theme Song Excitement
00:03:08
Trio of Positivity
talk about. I don't know if it matters to you guys. It matters a lot to me. But for the first time in 23 years, the NBA returned on NBC.
00:03:19
Bhupen
Oh.
00:03:19
Trio of Positivity
I got to hear the greatest theme song today when the Rockets played Oklahoma City Thunder.
00:03:26
Trio of Positivity
The introductions are back on television. which hasn't been seen in quite some time, but I heard the original jingle, the...
00:03:29
Bhupen
oh
00:03:33
Trio of Positivity
pump and and and and and ah na na and
00:03:35
Mike
Oh, God.
00:03:37
Trio of Positivity
I heard that. I was done. i don't need to hear it again. um Brought back some great memories, but I just wanted to bring that up. It is Bears Victory Tuesday. We're going to jump right into week seven of the NFL.
NFL Week Seven Highlights
00:03:51
Trio of Positivity
Boys, what's one thing that you guys want to talk about in regards to week seven? Let's start with our boy who has not returned. I want to hear his lovely voice. Boopin, what do you think about week seven?
00:04:02
Bhupen
Oh, it was good to just be back in the States and just follow. Because it was like such a time difference that it was like Sunday night football to Monday morning football. And it was Tuesday morning football and Friday morning football. It was like all over the place.
00:04:17
Bhupen
It was just good to follow some football back. But. um it's been a lot of upsets too. I feel like last couple of weeks, survival pools are decimated, I think. was good to see a week where like the people that are supposed to win won, you know, like Denver came back magically won against the Giants where they're supposed to Packers, like, I don't know, some people might have called it upset.
00:04:41
Bhupen
They were like losing for a while. They came back won. So it was like a week where like think Things went back to normal. Favorites covered one for the most part. That was good to see. I didn't i didn't get my bets right. Miller would yell at me for that. But for the most part, like some normalcy was back in the NFL.
00:04:57
Bhupen
And in in my week too, my schedule was back to normal. That was good too.
00:05:03
Mike
Very nice. Yes, the parody in the NFL is nice. think the only big upset was Pittsburgh losing on Thursday night
International NFL Games Critique
00:05:11
Mike
to the Bengals.
00:05:11
Trio of Positivity
The Icy Hot Bowl was really good.
00:05:15
Bhupen
I like that.
00:05:15
Trio of Positivity
Let's call it what it was a great game.
00:05:15
Bhupen
I like that. I like that. I like that.
00:05:17
Mike
The icy hot bowl.
00:05:17
Bhupen
I like that.
00:05:18
Mike
I like that.
00:05:19
Bhupen
like that
00:05:19
Trio of Positivity
The Icy Hot Bowl. um It was a great game. um I'll be honest with you guys. I felt like Week seven is helping me get used to the fact that international games are here to stay. um It's now Thursday football. And then you got the early game on Sunday, which if you don't pay attention, your fantasy team could just be on the up and up.
00:05:43
Trio of Positivity
um And I think in the next.
00:05:44
Bhupen
ah London is done, right? London is done.
00:05:46
Trio of Positivity
We're going to Germany next and then it's Spain next.
00:05:49
Bhupen
that
00:05:50
Mike
When?
00:05:50
Bhupen
still 8 8 a.m.
00:05:51
Mike
Still?
00:05:52
Bhupen
still?
00:05:53
Trio of Positivity
Still 8 a.m. Yeah.
00:05:54
Mike
This week?
00:05:54
Bhupen
Oh, no, no.
00:05:55
Trio of Positivity
This week, it's Germany, I believe. Yeah.
00:05:57
Bhupen
Oh, wow. It's already.
00:05:58
Mike
We still have to deal with this bullshit? You're completely wrong.
00:06:00
Trio of Positivity
Did you not hear what I said to start there?
00:06:01
Mike
You're completely wrong. It's every day i think of this and I'm like, this is so fucking stupid.
00:06:07
Trio of Positivity
But listen, the NFL is there's a reason why Bad Bunny is performing at halftime.
00:06:12
Mike
But they're all bad games.
00:06:12
Trio of Positivity
We're trying to grow the sport. and They're supposed to be. The Bears were bad for Internet.
00:06:18
Mike
No, they're supposed to be good games. They're all bad.
00:06:20
Trio of Positivity
No, it's bad teams.
00:06:21
Mike
Every international game is shit.
00:06:24
Trio of Positivity
Because it's bad teams that don't sell out their stadiums. That's what it used to be before.
00:06:28
Mike
It's not anymore. Now you have the high-profile games going over there.
00:06:32
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, but not their home game because you have their away game.
00:06:32
Mike
And it's still shit.
00:06:34
Trio of Positivity
That's the difference. The good team is usually the away game.
00:06:35
Mike
One team is home and one team is away. Minnesota got two.
00:06:38
Trio of Positivity
Right.
00:06:40
Mike
Both the games sucked.
00:06:41
Trio of Positivity
That is true.
00:06:43
Mike
They're trash.
00:06:43
Trio of Positivity
All right. Well,
00:06:44
Bhupen
i mean i I mean, they would have sucked here too. Carson Wentz. It's not it's a Minnesota.
00:06:48
Trio of Positivity
he's not wrong.
00:06:49
Bhupen
It's not Minnesota's fault.
00:06:50
Trio of Positivity
He's not wrong.
00:06:51
Bhupen
Come
00:06:52
Trio of Positivity
You got to remember, though, with Carson Wentz, though, it's up and down. This was his down. And so his next game is going to be up.
00:06:59
Bhupen
Oh, God. um Wait, is it really 8am? Did someone verify this?
00:07:05
Mike
let's play 8 30 yeah so do you just ignore me now i'm just fucking chopped liver he's freaking back and i'm chopped liver that's fine go ask your fucking question
00:07:05
Trio of Positivity
I'm pretty sure miller Miller can look into it. But while we look into it I have a question for the group since we're kind of done talking about it.
00:07:13
Bhupen
you
00:07:15
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:07:18
Trio of Positivity
Boys, it is week seven.

00:07:28
Trio of Positivity
It's the same thing. Just answer the question.
00:07:29

00:07:52
Bhupen
Come on, man.
00:07:54
Mike
Yeah, it's probably Jonathan Taylor.
00:07:57
Bhupen
I mean...
00:07:57
Trio of Positivity
You guys keep saying Jonathan Taylor, but please show some love to Baker Mayfield. Come on guys.
00:08:02
Bhupen
He lost this week.
00:08:02
Mike
Yeah, yeah if you if you would have ted this asked this question on Sunday, we would agree with you.
00:08:06
Bhupen
Yeah.
00:08:07
Mike
Not anymore. That was an embarrassing that was embarrassing performance by Baker Mayfield on Sunday.
00:08:08
Trio of Positivity
Bro, I feel bad for Evans, too.
00:08:13
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, but Evans was out. like it It was just a lot, dude.
00:08:14
Mike
Or Monday. No. it what Oh, my God. You and these fucking excuses for these quarterbacks. Did you even watch the game? Did you watch him miss Ted Johnson wide open on a slant right in front of the end zone?
00:08:25
Trio of Positivity
Also, wait.
00:08:25
Bhupen
Twice.
00:08:25
Trio of Positivity
so before we go into the bears game So before we go into the Bears game and we talk about that certain QB, you're saying that I make excuses for quarterbacks, and unlike some other people here?
00:08:28
Mike
end zone
00:08:35
Bhupen
Oh my god.
00:08:36
Mike
Yeah.
00:08:36
Trio of Positivity
ah we Are we going to really go around this circle?
00:08:38
Mike
Yeah. I'm just saying.
00:08:39
Trio of Positivity
I'm ready. I'm just asking. i didn't know were going to start this early.
00:08:42
Mike
Just saying all I hear is excuses for quarterbacks and, you know, I'm just kind of sick of it.
00:08:46
Trio of Positivity
Got it. I'm waiting for someone to say like in our in our group, oh, you can have one bad game.
00:08:46
Mike
And for you to say Baker after.
00:08:51
Trio of Positivity
Everyone has bad game.
00:08:53
Mike
After that performance by Baker Mayfield yesterday, like he's pretty much I think he dropped from like a favorite to like fourth or fifth now.
00:09:01
Bhupen
I mean, to be fair, like, he was living on the goddamn edge. Like, just insane play after insane play, converting third and 14 on his legs. Like, he was just living on the knife's edge the whole time, and the magic ran out, you know? Like, nothing against him.
00:09:20
Bhupen
Like, when you have your O-line go down, your wide receiver go down, it's hard to play, but... That man was carrying the team on his fucking back. He deserves to be up there. Like, you know, props.
00:09:29
Trio of Positivity
yeah
00:09:30
Bhupen
i'm sure I'm sure it'll bounce back too. But, yeah, no. Those are my picks.
00:09:34
Trio of Positivity
Yesterday, yeah yesterday there was an article on Sports Illustrated that talked about the odds on DraftKings.
00:09:34
Bhupen
like
00:09:41
Trio of Positivity
So Pat Mahomes was at plus 150, Mayfield 320, Allen plus 400. Who'd you guys pick?
00:09:50
Bhupen
Jonathan Taylor.
00:09:50
Trio of Positivity
Jonathan Taylor?
00:09:51
Mike
Jonathan Taylor.
00:09:51
Trio of Positivity
He's plus 6,000, according Hmm.
00:09:51
Bhupen
he's probably not He's probably not up there.
00:09:56
Bhupen
It's usually a quarterback award. You know what's annoying me? Drake May is being talked about as a dark horse.
00:09:56
Trio of Positivity
according
00:10:03
Trio of Positivity
Drake May is third on or fourth on the list, I believe. Yeah.
00:10:06
Bhupen
I'm just like, to be fair, I haven't seen him play.
00:10:06
Trio of Positivity
Fourth at plus nine 50.
00:10:09
Bhupen
But, like, man, every week, like, the news and media is just, like, giving him flowers every week.
00:10:15
Trio of Positivity
It's warranted though. Miller, would you, would, would you say that it's warranted though?
00:10:17
Bhupen
I haven haven't seen him play, so can't comment.
00:10:20
Trio of Positivity
What he's been hearing? I think so.
00:10:23
Mike
It's been pretty warranted. I mean, the schedule's been a bit soft, but yes, it's been warranted.
00:10:29
Bhupen
I gotta watch him closely.
00:10:29
Mike
he played He's played the Saints, and he's played the Titans, and he pretty much went off against both of them.
00:10:34
Bhupen
Okay.
00:10:34
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:10:36
Mike
and And I mean, the team's five and two They beat Buffalo, so I mean, it's warranted.
00:10:36
Trio of Positivity
All right, boys.
00:10:40
Trio of Positivity
Yeah. Yeah.
Bears vs. Saints Defense Analysis
00:10:42
Trio of Positivity
Boys, and enough of about that. Let's get to the main course. The Chicago Bears beat the New Orleans Saints 26-14. They are currently riding a four-game win streak.
00:10:53
Bhupen
Yeah, um um i mean I mean, boys, i but i want to apologize right now. I came back this week. If we lose, it'll be on me. I may not be on the podcast next week.
00:10:53
Trio of Positivity
We're going to start with the defense, though.
00:11:04
Bhupen
Just throwing it out there.
00:11:04
Trio of Positivity
You heard it here first.
00:11:05
Mike
Yep, you did.
00:11:07
Bhupen
ah a
00:11:07
Trio of Positivity
Boys, I want to start this a little bit differently. I want to talk about the defense. Miller, what stood out for you on the defensive side of the game today?
00:11:17
Mike
wasn't today. was Sunday. But hey.
00:11:19
Trio of Positivity
Literally, we're having the conversation today, Miller.
00:11:23
Mike
So to me, one of the biggest
00:11:23
Bhupen
well Okay, okay. Are mom and dad fighting? What's going on? I just got back. so hopefully to
00:11:28
Trio of Positivity
miller gets in this Miller gets in this crappy mood every time because we criticize CW.
00:11:33
Bhupen
Okay.
00:11:34
Mike
It's called an It's called an argumentative mood because we're on a podcast together.
00:11:36
Trio of Positivity
And then...
00:11:42
Bhupen
Wait, you don't agree on every point we say? we said that's a good point. You don't say that?
00:11:47
Mike
Exactly.
00:11:47
Trio of Positivity
God forbid we agree on things.
00:11:49
Mike
i mean, God forbid that we're just a ah podcast that just agrees all the time.
00:11:54
Bhupen
That's a good point, Miller.
00:11:57
Trio of Positivity
because we don't want to be fake or anything.
00:11:59
Mike
Exactly. um For me, the biggest takeaway was like the play of the defensive back, specifically Kyler Gordon Jaquan Brisker, like both of those, just the impact they had on the game and the pressure that they put on um the quarterback was just outstanding.
00:12:01
Bhupen
All right, Miller.
00:12:19
Mike
We haven't seen that type of pressure and in many, many weeks. And it it really shows that the impact that Kyler Gordon truly has on this team. He's not just a nickel cornerback.
00:12:29
Mike
He offers another tool in the tool belt for Dennis Allen when it comes to blitzing.
00:12:35
Bhupen
Like similarly to, um I think the defense like got healthier. It's got his swagger back, man. Like, like, you know, like when the good memories of the Bears teams I have is like, we are having takeaways. They are scoring touchdowns. They are like playing inspired. They are playing, you know, they're like all running towards the ball, celebrating together. I think the defense got its swagger back.
00:12:58
Bhupen
Four takeaways. Like, four sacks. Like, it was, like, incredible to see. um You know, Montez Sweat. Like, we give him a lot of shit for, like, how much money he makes and not showing up.
00:13:09
Bhupen
Like, s sack fumble. Like, you know, like, damn, like, Up and down, like defense, very inspired. um You know, Dennis Allen, rivalry game. I have to go there.
00:13:20
Bhupen
i don't know if that paid a factor, but man, the defense was on fire. Has been. We are leading the league in takeaways, I believe. So like, you know, we we it's been playing inspired. It's been good. um that That's really good to see. I know there's some opportunities. We'll probably talk about that. But defense, hats off to them.
Bears Defense Potential Discussion
00:13:40
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, I think you brought up opportunities, and that's kind of where I'm going. It doesn't feel like the Bears should be this good on defense because we still don't have s sacks on the team. I think we're still on the bottom end of sacks in general, but we're still getting these takeaways, and we're still we still seem to be defending third down fairly well.
00:13:58
Trio of Positivity
um I think this team can become... I think if... You guys can probably correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like if we seem to get more pressure, more sacks, everyone will start looking at this defense in a more dominant fashion. I think right now we're just good.
00:14:15
Trio of Positivity
Our turnover numbers are are high. We're leading the league in turnovers. But sacks and stuff like that, QB pressure, if if that goes a little bit higher in these next couple games, I think this is going to be one of the better defenses in the league.
00:14:27
Mike
But don't you think that's the problem? Like we can sit here and say, if we get more pressure, how are we going to get more pressure?
00:14:29
Trio of Positivity
In what sense?
00:14:34
Mike
This is like the first game where we actually had pressure on the quarterback.
00:14:35
Trio of Positivity
That's...
00:14:39
Mike
And realistically, the last few games, we've gotten a lot of turnovers without getting that pressure.
00:14:39
Bhupen
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:14:43
Mike
It's not lucky.
00:14:44
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:14:45
Mike
I'm not calling it lucky because they're making the plays. But it's like eventually that could run out. You look at the Jaguars and they had a so ah three game span very similar to the Bears where they were turning the ball over a lot.
00:14:57
Mike
And they were winning those games. And then when the droughts came, when they started not getting turnovers, then you had to rely on other facets of the game. And then when it doesn't deliver, those wins turned into losses.
00:15:11
Trio of Positivity
You brought up Jackson.
00:15:11
Bhupen
like did this no Like, this is fascinating, too, right?
00:15:12
Trio of Positivity
ah go ahead. Sorry, Boobin.
00:15:15
Bhupen
like So it's if you're not getting pressures but getting takeaways, like, are is the DBs more opportunistic? Are they, like, just bad bad throws from the quarterback?
00:15:22
Trio of Positivity
I think so. I think this is an opportunistic defense.
00:15:25
Bhupen
Like, no, I was going to say the pressure thing is interesting, right? you Like, the quarterback is not just going to throw the ball in harm's way if he doesn't, like, you know, like ah average quarterback who's not going to throw in the arms way so like that's like interesting right what's pressure like pressure is meant to either get sacks or takeaways we're getting takeaways so like mean maybe like by nfl standard there's not a pressure but like there is something that's like generating the takeaways right so like i i don't want to like not answer the question but i feel like there may be something there too like what are we looking at are we looking at the right thing kind of a thing
00:15:52
Trio of Positivity
you
00:15:58
Trio of Positivity
See, my thing is when I look at that, I agree with Miller, but I feel like this defense takes advantages of certain opportunities. ah There was a play ah where the Saints quarterback was rolling to the left, was telling the player to keep going, keep going, and he throws it.
00:16:14
Trio of Positivity
I guess you could say it was a little bit overthrown, but in that kind of instance, he's running away from pressure. It forces an error on the quarterback's end, and we get that turnover.
00:16:23
Bhupen
Mm-hmm.
00:16:23
Trio of Positivity
Um, now for me, if you, you, uh, Miller brought up Jacksonville, Jacksonville right now is currently tied for last in sacks with eight bears currently have 12.
00:16:34
Trio of Positivity
You guys want to know who's leading the league in sacks right now?
00:16:38
Mike
Denver.
00:16:38
Trio of Positivity
If you guys had to guess.
00:16:40
Mike
Denver.
00:16:40
Bhupen
Yeah, nine gets it. Yeah.
00:16:42
Trio of Positivity
Denver is overwhelmingly leading.
00:16:43
Bhupen
yeah
00:16:45
Trio of Positivity
They're the only team with 30 plus. They have 34. Second in line is the Rams with 26. So I think if they just, if the Bears just kind of get down to the quarterback, I think this defense will be almost a complete package. But I'm happy with how they played.
00:16:58
Trio of Positivity
I think it was very much a... ah A great overall performance by the defense. um I Hope to see that in the next couple games coming up. So Is there anything else you guys want to bring up on the on the defense before we?
00:17:12
Trio of Positivity
Get to the next talking point here
00:17:14
Bhupen
No, I think next week will be a good test. ah We don't do well against running quarterbacks anyway. but think next week will be a good test coming up.
00:17:22
Trio of Positivity
I Have a great comment to provide on that that I happened to give ah on radio earlier So we'll talk a little bit more about that.
00:17:28
Mike
So excited about that comment.
00:17:30
Trio of Positivity
um So, all right, let's talk about the offense. Now, here's what I'm willing to do. Miller, you can start us off, but I'm starting you off on your glaze minute, okay?
00:17:42
Mike
Wait, what?
00:17:42
Trio of Positivity
or
00:17:43
Bhupen
and
00:17:43
Trio of Positivity
Or, we go with Boopin first, get his points, and then we'll get to your...
00:17:44
Bhupen
No.
00:17:47
Mike
You were supposed to go first. The agenda has you first. So lead the way.
00:17:53
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, I'm changing it.
00:17:53
Bhupen
Hey.
00:17:54
Trio of Positivity
Now, do you...
00:17:55
Bhupen

00:17:56
Mike

00:17:57
Bhupen

00:17:57
Trio of Positivity

00:18:00
Mike

00:18:03
Bhupen
Hey, do do you want to be muted, buddy? You'll be muted right now. You want to be muted?
00:18:07
Trio of Positivity
Now, I would like to hear...
00:18:08
Mike

00:18:12
Trio of Positivity
i would at Let me finish. Jesus, calm down. Calm your tits, okay? or We'll get to it. You know what? I'll make... Boopin, lead us off. What would you say was... ah was what What would you say...
00:18:26
Trio of Positivity

Reflection on Bears' Offensive Performance
00:18:33
Bhupen
um I'm going to answer your question a roundabout way, okay? I don't get a minute to talk for some reason, but this is my monologue, okay?
00:18:38
Mike
Thank you.
00:18:39
Trio of Positivity
I haven't come up with a good, i haven't come up with a good acronym yet.
00:18:43
Bhupen
Um... Like, let let let's take a deep breath, okay? Were there opportunities for the Bears to play better? Absolutely. I don't think anyone would say otherwise, right? But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater, okay?
00:18:57
Bhupen
We've had so many games in the past where we play well. We don't, we don't, we lose games. We don't, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:19:04
Trio of Positivity
Hold on. No, hold on no, no, no.
00:19:05
Bhupen
It's a, it's a, it's a minute, goddammit.

00:19:07
Bhupen
It's a minute.
00:19:08
Trio of Positivity
You're not getting a minute. We're stopping.

00:19:13
Trio of Positivity
That's a fucking saying. And no one's told me this.
00:19:15
Mike
Yeah.
00:19:16
Bhupen

00:19:17
Trio of Positivity
Say it again.

Bhupen

00:19:18
Trio of Positivity

00:19:19
Bhupen
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
00:19:22
Trio of Positivity

00:19:22
Mike

00:19:24
Mike

00:19:26
Trio of Positivity
Okay. Sorry. Continue.
00:19:28
Bhupen
But you fucker. yeah I was in such a good role. But anyway, um it in the past, we we like think of the week one game. right we We played decent three quarters. We lost a game. right We've had so many games where we deserve to win and don't win.
00:19:44
Bhupen
Yes, we look poor on ah offense, but goddamn, it's a win. I'm going to enjoy it. Hopefully they figure out the stuff like they have in the running game and stuff like that. But it's a win. Please enjoy it. Take a deep breath. We're okay.
00:19:56
Bhupen
That's my minute. that Thank you.
00:19:58
Mike
Is it my turn?
00:19:59
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, we're not doing that. think it little bit um
00:20:02
Mike
We're not throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
00:20:02
Trio of Positivity
and think it is a little bit Yeah. I mean, I could toss the baby in my whole thing, but listen, here's, here's, here's my point. It's the first game that Caleb did not throw for 200, but the running game was over 200 total.
00:20:17
Trio of Positivity
So it's a def is definitely a 50 50. Um, on that end, am I concerned for the passing game a little bit, but that's just mostly on CW and what he does moving forward. However,
00:20:30
Trio of Positivity
I'm going to go ahead and turn it over to probably the greatest jingle that I had created with.
00:20:35
Mike
No, no, it has nothing to do with the game.
00:20:37
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, no, we are.

Mike
Let me fucking talk.

It doesn't have anything to do with the game.
00:20:40
Trio of Positivity
You're going to get your minute. Yeah, no, no, no. You are getting limited because I know you're going start glazing. You're going to get limited.
00:20:46
Mike
doesn't have anything to do with the game.
00:20:48
Bhupen
Let him talk about the game and then he can glaze after. Come on Let a man glaze.
00:20:52
Trio of Positivity
