right the bears miraculously pulled the pulled pulled that week 16 matchup out with you know two late fourth quarter drives and of course the overtime drive was really the full extent of their offensive performance that day everything else was a struggle right jeff jeff halfley has had his way a little bit with ben johnson which is very rare
And I know you guys are looking for your first playoff win, and they're coming because I don't think the Bears are going anywhere for a long, long time with this guy at head coach and this guy at quarterback.
I'll say that.
But at the same time, I think the biggest thing I look at here, and I think in the second matchup,
I do think that Malik Willis being thrown into the fold really made things hard on Chicago because he brings a different element that I'm sure they weren't really prepared for in that game.
Malik Willis has a chance to be a superstar, and his ability to run and scramble in that second game I think caught the Bears off guard.
Now it's going to be more the traditional drop back pass, Jordan Love in the pocket, right?
So the first thing I look at is like the clip you just played there.
First, the Packers are all for their last four.
The Packers have not been the same since Micah Parsons got injured.
I mean, Micah Parsons is a big deal.
He's so big that when he got hurt, we all went, I don't know if the Packers can go to the Super Bowl anymore.
That's how awesome he is.
And then you couple that with Jordan Love not having played in three weeks and really only practicing limited times.
Yeah, it's hard for me to get behind that and go, wait, the team that's 0-4 and a quarterback that hasn't played, he's just going to hit the ground running on Saturday night and throw for 300 yards and beat the Bears.
So that's why I go with the Bears.
But the Bears, there's no doubt, one thing in particular shows to me that has to be better if they want to win this game is the drop back pass game.
That's it, plain and simple.
The first game, they ran the ball.
They ran bootlegs.
