It would have to be like a blind confidence, you know, to be honest.

But I'm putting it that way because I don't really see any reason why it can't happen.

That's what's frustrating, right?

They seem to be shooting themselves in the foot more times than not.

in these opening drives and I don't really understand it.

And I'm, I'm hoping that, you know, in a week where, you know, if you've been up to house hall, I think you could feel the level of focus.

I think you can feel the level of intensity at the Ben Johnson's message right after the game against the lions.

And I think the players have all been on board and,

If they are that focused and dialed in, then they should be when the game starts.

I think it helps having been through this twice already this season.

When I say this, I mean Bears-Packers.

I think they were way too hyped up the first time.

The second time, there was still a little bit of that.

Hopefully, now with that experience behind you, you can just come out, whatever the hype is, whatever the crowd's like, use that to your advantage, channel it to your advantage, and really be dialed in.

I think that's where guys like Joe Tooney really come in and help in this moment.

The amount of mental errors that happened against the Lions on Sunday were very alarming, but I don't know.

I guess I'd be a little bit surprised if they carry over into this game because that level of focus should be there.

And if it is, I don't see any reason why against this defense, this Packers defense, you can't just come out and have a couple really nice runs to start the game and a third down completion.

Also, Adam Johns made a really good point that we've been focused so much on Roman Dunzay coming back and him not being in the last Packer game.

We kind of forget Luther Burden wasn't out there for that game.
