I'll tell you what, I feel better about the cast this time around than I do that time around.

And part of the reason why I feel good about this year is because... Ray had a cast on his arm.

Oh, I sure did.

Yeah, that sucked.

You have a great mix of players here who have not done this before, who it's been too long since they have done this, and other veterans who've done this several times so they understand exactly what's going on.

I mean, it definitely sounds like a guy who feels like this moment has been well overdue.

And now he's the guy that's like, I'm glad we're playing this on Saturday.

I don't have to watch a bunch of football leading into Sunday.

I can play my game as soon as possible.

He's itching to get out there and do something.

Yeah, absolutely.

He understands, like, just the way he answered the question about playoff experience mattering, he's acknowledging, yes, it does, and he's explaining why.

And you know who's got the advantage in playoff experience here?

Packers over the Bears, yeah.

That's concerning.

He's won on the road, too.

I knew that's the exact game you were referring to.

No, I think that's the smart play.

Well, the biggest thing for me is that Jordan Love also has playoff experience.

Each of the past two seasons, he has been to the playoffs.
