How has the Bears' defense performed leading into the playoffs?
David, you work there, you know the place. And we are delighted to welcome in our guy, He is the football man from the Chicago Tribune. He is a man that needs a little introduction. He's always a guest on this network, on our station, and he is a beautiful and wondrous human. Brad Biggs joins us on the Plumbers 911 hotline. Plumbing emergency, call 1-833-PLUM-911. Local 130 plumbers get the job done right the first time. Biggs, hey! Morning, Brad.
Morning, boys. What's going on?
Well, there's an awful important football game, and we talked to some people this morning about what it says about this season. I think a lot of us agree that it's been a very successful season for the Bears, but lo and behold... Something about the Green Bay Packers coming to town on Saturday night makes this game of utmost importance.
What predictions do experts have for the Bears-Packers game?
It could really send a message. We know the Bears in danger of going 2-5 if indeed they win. They do not win this game. I'm talking about in the division. How important is this game for the franchise, for the city? Is that different than just the football team?
You know, it's an important game because opportunities like this can be fleeting. They shouldn't be as fleeting as they have been for the Chicago Bears for a long time now. But you can't take... Opportunity is in the postseason for granted. They've got one of 14 tickets, and they need to pursue it. And I think they're in a good headspace. I think they've got the right mindset despite dropping the final two games of the regular season. And it's going to be interesting to see how they come out and play because it is the Packers, because they played the Packers yesterday. twice since, what, the second Sunday in December.
What factors contribute to the Bears' home-field advantage?
Like, this is a big game. I don't think Packers adds a lot to it. If it does, you're overlooking what the true goal of each season is, and that's to get into the playoffs and be competitive and give yourself a shot. I think the... rivalry in the upper Midwest takes a back seat when it's playoff football. If that's the case, and I don't disagree at all, Brad, well put. If you look at the tape, remove the rivalry aspect, you mute out the trash-talking that's going on maybe in the Packer locker room. When you just look at the football part of it, where do you think the Bears have an advantage? Well, there's a lot of elements to this game where if you said to me, this could go one way or the other. Caleb could play well.
Caleb could struggle in his first playoff appearance. Jordan Love could play really well. Jordan Love could look rusty after some time off because of a concussion. The Bears could get back to their ways of getting some takeaways.
How important is the Bears' offensive line for their success?
They could really struggle getting the takeaways, which they've done a little bit against these better quarterbacks. I don't see a way that this Bears offensive line doesn't play well. So I think that's the strength. And I say that while acknowledging that they did not run the ball nearly as effectively as they needed to last week against a Lions defense that's – I mean, that Lions run defense is okay, maybe, right? Like, there's nothing super – special about that. So they should have been better there. But I would expect the offensive line will play well for the Bears. I think that's the strength of this football team. But they've got to take that advantage and turn it into points. The Bears have one field goal in the first half of two games against the Packers.
So in four quarters, three points of the two first halves against Green Bay, that's not going to cut it. You can't keep trying to play catch-up and wait for your quarterback to throw his cape on when there's four and a half minutes left in the game or something of that nature.
