FOJ 61 - Bears Playoff Bound & The Caleb Williams Accuracy Debate

Jeff and Jason kick off the new year by discussing the "resolution breaker" margarita from Chili's and Jeff's new life with a puppy. The guys dive deep into the Bears' uninspired loss to the Lions, debating whether the defense is too slow and if the team is truly ready for their playoff matchup against the Packers. They also analyze Caleb Williams' rookie season, specifically breaking down alarming stats regarding his "bad throw percentage" versus his "on-target" rate, and how drops have impacted his yardage. Later, they look at the NFL coaching carousel ahead of Black Monday, speculate on veteran QB options for the Chiefs (including a potential Mitch Trubisky reunion), and Jason shares a tense story about dog park etiquette gone wrong.
