What adjustments did the Bears make at halftime to overcome the Packers?
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays, 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670. The score.
Now Chicago can use the clock as well. They're in field goal range. They want to get seven. They can use the clock. William Strick and it's caught for the touchdown by D.J. Moore. Forget about the clock. Just take the lead when you can. 25 yards, six plays, 66 yards in 68 seconds.
You adjusted, Bears. Admit it. Admit you adjusted. Partially because you unfortunately had to because of some major injuries, but also because it was the right thing to do. We saw different looks at the half after the halftime intermission than we did in the first out of the defense. We saw different plays out of the offense. And that one, by the way, was a tremendous one. Darnell Wright was on the left side and Cole Komet was playing right tackle. Absolutely outstanding. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score. And we're also asking the fun question today of how does that get back feel? Like when you see Packers fans who never listen to this station reply to our tweets except on a day like today.
Like this guy replied to us on Twitter and says, cute coming from an organization that has been irrelevant for decades. How does it feel then to get beat by an organization that has been irrelevant for decades? How does it feel to be down 21-3 at the half, and then now you thought you were winning that game? How does that feel today?
Yeah, how does it feel to be heading into irrelevance in general?
How does it feel to know that your coach is on the hot seat today?
Yeah, that's all they're talking about there.
Isn't it worse then that you were irrelevant for decades? I feel like it is.
Chicago Bears pinned all Packers fans. That's what they did. They've been pinned, and now they're scrambling.
How did injuries affect the Bears' game strategy in the second half?
They're scrambling.
You don't like it when you're not the ones winning? You don't like it when ownership of the Soldier Field crowd may be up for grabs?
Change is hard. Change is hard.
It's painful. It's awkward.
It's awkward. It's painful.
What were the major defensive changes the Bears implemented after halftime?
So Packard, hey, we're here. Hey, you know what? We can make this a nice thing. You want to call us? We'll tell you what it's like, what you're going to go through over the next decade, what it's going to be like losing to the Bears on the regular. The withdrawal of winning? Yeah, yeah. No, we're here for you. We'll give you verbal hugs. We'll explain how this is going to work for you, Green Bay. We'll explain. I don't want to hug them. I was very sports conscious in the 80s. So I've seen it. I've seen a decade of the Bears beating the Packers. So I understand what it's like. So Packers fans, you're welcome here. We will take care of you too.
Also credit to our friend Alexis Marshall, who was the original poster of the teams from Wisconsin or 0-5 since the Brewers posed with the L. So just know that was the original poster.
Oh, we're coming for them too, by the way. A guy by the name of Alex Bregman. Now playing third base for the Chicago Cubs.
How did the Bears manage to score quickly after halftime?
We're coming for you too, Brew Crew.
And you know what, Jed Hoyer? Thank you. Thank you for starting the comeback. Because the Bears were down 21-6 with that news broken. I have no idea why that was the time that it broke. And I get that other people's lives don't revolve around the Bears. And that probably includes the executive for another team. However, to process all that, I remember we were...
upset about the game on our group thread we were all texting amongst ourselves and then all of a sudden grody breaks in with a text that just says pregnant and i was like what and then i get the notifications from jeff pass and then i was like oh wait is he talking oh wait there was a discernible buzz in the i don't want to i don't want to like over dramatize it because of obviously there was heavy focus on what was going on on the field at soldier field but It was like playing telephone in the press box. Like, just, oh, here, do you see Bregman? I got Emma sitting right next to him. He's losing his mind. Like, I thought he was going to write 500 words on Alex Bregman being signed by the Cubs.
