    Dawgs Win the Natty, Super Wild Card Weekend 2021, and beer!

    Editor's note: Asif did not predict a pick-six (of course) in last week's championship game, and he didn't even really get the score right like he also allegedly claimed during last week's predictions. He's sorry about that. 

    The title of this episode says it all... Go Dawgs! 

    Listen to the end for analysis on every single NFL game this weekend, plus what's happening with Da Bears coaching search, and what the Falcons outlook going into the 2021-22 off-season with another (one) top 10 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

    Cheers

    NFL Week 18, 2021: Quinnception

    On this week's episode, we celebrate the lives of John Madden and Dan Reeves.

    Toward the end of the show, we discuss CFB Playoff National Championship game between Georgia and Alabama next Monday, Jan. 10. 

    Before that, we discuss the final week of the NFL season, which includes record-setting Robert Quinn and Da Bears facing the Minnesota Vikings after an underwhelming (yes, you read that right) win against the Giants in Week 17. After that we also discuss Falcons vs. Bills and an opportunity for Atlanta to spoil New Orleans's playoff hopes on Sunday in Week 18.

    Please like, subscribe, share, and leave a comment if you haven't already! It helps us a lot and we sincerely appreciate it.

    Cheers!

    NFL Week 17, 2021: Happy New Beer

    It's our last episode of 2021! We're doing something special for it too...

    For starters, BOTH the Falcons and Bears won their games last weekend, which might be the tenth time in show history that's happened. Second, we talk about what's in store for each team's next game—Atlanta vs. Buffalo (yikes) and Bears vs. Giants (foreshadowing...!)—plus get into some Quinnception for both teams. 

    This episode was recorded on location at Variant Brewing in Roswell, GA. The occasion was Asif's farewell steak dinner (Brooklyn, we otw!) afterward. 

    RIP Robbie Roper 

    RIP Jeff Dickerson

    RIP John Madden

    NFL Week 16, 2021: The Pod before Christmas

    Christmas is (almost) here! However, we're both awaiting the gift of a win this holiday season.

    This week's episode covers the Falcons being dismantled by the 49ers in a de-facto Wild Card matchup and previews the potential embarrassment (or is it?) of a loss to the Lions at home this coming Sunday.

    In the NFC North, the Bears (read: Matt Nagy) struggled mightily against the Vikings on Monday Night Football despite being competitive up until the point that they weren't. Next up for Chicago is Seattle, who is also struggling and has a lot to prove to itself and its fans in a 4:05 p.m. ET showdown in Week 16. 

    Elsewhere around the league, Bill Belichick is no longer a grinch, we get NFL football on Christmas Day, and the fantasy playoffs aren't going so well for Asif... unfortunately. 

    Cheers!

    NFL Week 15, 2021: "In the Hunt" for a Merry Christmas

    Christmas is almost here, as is the Falcons first playoff berth in a few years...hopefully!

    On this week's episode, we talk about the significance of Atlanta's 4 p.m. kickoff against San Francisco (spoiler alert: Falcons can go from "in the hunt" to NFC Wild Card with a win) + what it'll take to ensure another Dirty Birds road win. 

    In the NFC North, a Monday Night Snoozefest awaits the nation as Da Bears host the Minnesota Vikings. Another primetime opportunity to grow and develop as QB1 awaits Justin Fields in that game. The possibility of ruining the Vikings potential playoff chances is an added bonus. 

    We also cover the surprising shootout that was Bears vs. Packers and the quality win Atlanta had against Carolina in Week 14 too.

    This week's selection of beers cover a pilsner, DIPA, and stout. Check out our Instagram @bearsbirdsandbrews for photos and more.

    Cheers!

    NFL Week 14, 2021: It's Beginning to Look a lot like We're Bad Teams

    We're back with another fresh episode for y'all! 

    This one covers how Da Bears are bad and how the Falcons are somehow worse. So what's next for both teams? Chicago plays Green Bay on SNF this week; the only thing worth looking forward to in that game is return of Justin Fields. Atlanta plays a division game on the road Sunday. A win could keep them alive in the playoff hunt, which will be an unpleasant disaster; a loss will have a lot of people questioning what has to happen next in terms of a rebuild, fire sale, etc. 

    Elsewhere, Nick Saban pulled a Nick Saban. Now, the Bulldogs have a chance to pull off what Alabama did with a switch at QB, but they'll have to get through Michigan first. 

    Happy holidays!
