Rahimi & Grote Show · How are you feeling about the Bears' defense ahead of season opener? (Hour 1) · 11 Sep 2026 podcast

This isn't like, you know, week one at home against Green Bay. matched

That's true. matched

Right. matched

So it's a good way to temper things to to you know, to pace yourself when it comes to the number of bears. matched

You know, I'm always fascinated by the opening drive of a game. matched

And part of it is having covered this team for so long. matched

And you think of how many times we've watched the opening drive of the game and it just sputters. matched

And I just like always step back and remind yourself like these coaches and players spend all week preparing for this moment, for this opening drive. matched

Last year, as great as the offense was, they went like they didn't score in their first drive, the final nine games of the season. matched

Uh, so I I I'm just fascinated by the philosophies of it, especially when it's the first game of the season. matched

I thought Press Taylor was pretty interesting where he says they do all this self-scouting in the spring and they might throw some plays out, really reinvest in some things that they think they do well, and then they start game planning for Carolina and they go, matched

Wait a second, that play we threw out, we actually might want that play because it might work against Carolina's defense. matched

So there's this kind of push and pull, and then ultimately on Sunday we'll see. matched

And I I did a little research to see how often the Bears have scored in their opening drive in the last twenty five years. matched

Only nine times, but that's actually tied for the most in the division. matched

So um everyone just can relax that first drive because it's not it it it it matched

It's just an opening drive. matched

However, Grody, I also my research told me. matched

Five of the six times the Bears have won the division this century. matched

They scored on their first drive of the season. matched
