There is nothing to worry about. The Texans might end up winning the Super Bowl and the Bears took them down to the final minute, on the road, in front of a very sweaty Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth. A four game winning streak starts this weekend in Indianapolis as Caleb and the offense are close to clicking unlike anything Chicago has ever seen. Plus, the Illini football team is ranked and potentially unstoppable.

The Bears have never lost a game in the 2024 season and there is a chance they never will. Rookie QB Caleb Williams had a shaky debut, and Dan Doinks was there to see it. Is he concerned or has he already shaken it off? You'll hear from him and ZD's resident gambling shark Rick Feelsmen. You won't hear from Bill Doinks, at least directly. But he'll be back next week. We love you.

We have been waiting our whole lives to have a quarterback worth getting excited for, worth putting our hopes into with the idea there will be a payoff. Finally, the end of the beginning starts on Sunday with Caleb's first real game. But first, we'll wrap a bow around the Hard Knocks experience as Episode 5 was pretty great, at least in the mind of Bill Doinks. Dan takes us on a trip through Nashville and the Week 1 opponent. Rick Feelsmen is back with his three hot picks to fade or follow during Hamm's N Bread. A new segment? Why not. Hamm's N Legs is here to get you ready for fantasy football season. Plus the Illini are leading the B1G with a Top 20 team coming to Champaign this weekend, and Dan has a few things to get off his chest regarding PJ Fleck's Gophers.

Episode 4 of Hard Knocks is now out for our enjoyment and the boys of Zero Doinks break it down for you like only they can. Can HBO Max find other storylines besides Flus, Caleb and the Ferret King? Maybe. Kind of. We’re almost living in a world where the football is real, and we’re here to get you through the next few days. Plus a quick look at the B1G as the Illini and Gophers kick off this week.

Episode 3 of Hard Knocks might be the best of the season thus far. We hope you jump right in after you’ve watched, so you can listen to the often perverse perspective of two middle-aged Bears fans who are just trying to survive until Week 1 of the 2024 season. Thanks for listening.

After HBO Max finally decided to upload this ep an hour late, which put Dan Doinks an hour past his evening feeding time, we took notes on Ep2 and bring it to you with spoilers left and right. The bottom line with this episode, in our humble opinion - protect Theo at all costs. And cut Velus Jones yesterday.

If you haven't watched Ep1 of Hard Knocks yet, please revisit our insanity shortly thereafter. This is clearly the place to get a unique take and an instant Hard Knocks review of the first episode of Chicago Bears "Winds of Change.” It was an absolute doozy. Dive right in for our unorthodox perspective. #canadianeagle

After a hiatus, the boys of Zero Doinks are back as the Bears begin camp in Lake Forest. Caleb looks amazing already and there is no chance our predictions of 11-12 Bears victories will fall short. Injuries are scarce, the vibes are hot and the Bears are all the way back. Dan expresses some nerves about the upcoming Hard Knocks season, of which we are planning immediate reaction ZD episodes. Dan Pompei of The Athletic hits our radar again after another weird article. Plus plans for 2024 Bears Fantasy Corner and highly-desired Bears weekly awards are previewed. Is Rick Feelsmen alive?
