Patrick Mannelly

You heard the consternation of Patrick Manley's voice.

It's tough.

It is tough, especially when it took the last play of the game to beat them.

The first game was close.

I think both teams have a reason to like their chances here.

I mean, that's just how it is against the Packers, too.

Ben Johnson also talked about, and this speaks to the texter that we had earlier.

No, it was the caller.

It was Keith with his sick kid.

So you remember how Keith said at the doctor's office that the Bears should have been playing their best football in December?

Well, ask and you shall receive, Keith.

So does that answer the question?

I feel like he's saying a lot of very perfunctory answers.

Well, so how does he feel about the slow starts that this team has had?

He sounds a lot more calm today even than yesterday.

Did you hear where he said that they made 11 mistakes?

It was like six mistakes in the first 11 plays or something like that where I was like, wait a second.

How many mistakes did they make in the first set of plays?

And their first drive went eight plays, so I was very curious to, like, I almost want to go back and look at the film tonight because I'm a dork and try to see if I can find where they were.

Yes, yeah.
