Biggs suggests that improved coaching could be the key to unlocking better play up front, but Bernstein and Abbatacola aren’t buying it. The guys explain why that answer feels like organizational spin and why it could come back to bite the Bears if expectations don’t match reality in 2026. Plus, the NFL drops its international game schedule, and there’s good news for Bears fans — Chicago won’t be losing a home game (or heading overseas) this season. The guys react to the scheduling break and what it means for the team. #chicagobears #bears #chicago #chicagosports #calebwilliams #sportstalk Make sure to subscribe to... ✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered ✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈 ✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀 All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .","meta_description":"Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down the latest Brad Biggs mailbag from the Chicago Tribune — and one response about the Bears’ defensive line rai…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1871,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/forward-progress-a-chicago-bears-podcast-7447342/episodes/chicago-bears-won-t-play-in-spain-germany-or-hammond-in-2026/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/forward-progress-a-chicago-bears-podcast-7447342/chicago-bears-won-t-play-in-spain-germany-or-hammond-in-2026.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
