And then the next thing you know, you might be in the NFC championship game.

And lo and behold, if all breaks your way, you may be hosting that NFC championship game.

Well, on the topic of the Eagles, not only inconsistent, but bad vibes, really bad vibes for that team.

And I think that, uh,

Certainly cost them in the end.

And you felt that a little bit yesterday.

As far as the Rams go, you have to be a little bit nervous if you're the Bears defensive and understanding what you're dealing with.

You're dealing with a very accomplished quarterback who's very smart, very skilled.

If Matthew Stafford is indeed fully healthy, he's going to present some problems.

And he's also going to present problems with the two guys he throws the football to the most.

Devontae Adams, who Bears fans know really well, and Puka Nakua, who they'll get to know really well on Sunday afternoon.

when he visits Soldier Field.

And it's going to be a challenge for a secondary that hasn't done a great job of limiting the explosive plays.

These guys can hit you in bunches with those if you're not careful.

And so that part of the matchup is going to be fascinating.

We're going to get a chance later in the week to talk to Dennis Allen, who's been on the wrong end of Puka Nakua before.

he'll probably give us a little bit of insight into why he's such a difficult cover, and they're going to have to find answers within the game plan to do better than they did in the first half, because guys, trust me, at 21-3 in the first half Saturday night, no one in the building felt like that defense was going to stand up enough to win that football game, and yet they found some answers in the second half, and

Here we are talking about a matchup with the Rams.

Yeah, we don't get that view in real time up in the press box, as you know, Grody.

So you're going off hearsay until you go back and rewatch it, and then you hear the coach today talk about just the message of what Caleb was trying to get across.
