Chapter 1: What is the significance of the Bears' win over the Packers?

1.027 - 6.353 Unknown

This hour is sponsored by AlmostFreeTeeth.com. Affordable implants, life-changing smiles.

7.735 - 11.479 Leila Rahimi

The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously.

0

11.599 - 19.248 Jaquan Brisker

Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time.

0

19.509 - 29.38 Leila Rahimi

It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye! Rahimi, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2. On 670, the...

0

30.22 - 45.056 Unknown

I've already alluded to it, so I'm going to do it. 28-27 Bears. Layla! One point? One point. I'm picking the Packers to win this game. 27-25. Packers 30, Bears 27. 28-21, but the Bears win it.

45.237 - 48.46 Jaquan Brisker

Fake it to him. Rolling. Throwing. Caught!

49.281 - 55.688 DJ Moore

And does he get into the end zone? He does. Christian Watson crosses the goal line for a touchdown. A fourth and six.

55.668 - 72.823 Mark Grote

Williams fires, and that's going to be picked at the 12-yard line in the pocket. Open, caught, Reed, touchdown. Love throwing, open, caught, Dobbs for the score.

72.843 - 76.731 Unknown

I can't do this, Carl. I can't live this life again.

Chapter 2: How did the Bears' performance change in the second half?

79.327 - 84.034 Mark Grote

On the ground. Swift. Can he get into the end zone? He can.

0

84.214 - 85.717 DeAndre Swift

We're not there yet.

0

85.737 - 92.367 DJ Moore

From the 23. Pass to the outside. Finding room here. Golden. Golden is inside the 10.

0

92.627 - 104.364 Unknown

And Golden will go into the end zone for the touchdown. This is the worst. Allow me to reintroduce myself.

0

104.424 - 105.445 Leila Rahimi

My name is.

105.465 - 116.119 Jaquan Brisker

In the pocket fires. Olamide Zaccheaus into the end zone. The Green Bay Packers to try to make it six up.

116.139 - 140.391 DJ Moore

And the kick is no good. They want to get seven. They can use the clock. Williams throwing, and it's caught for the touchdown by D.J.

140.411 - 149.647 Mark Grote

Moore. Hearts beating furiously. It's dropped. Love looking. One last guess. Moving guys around. Fires to the end zone, and it is broken up. The Bears win it in a crazy one.

149.667 - 149.867

Hell yeah!

Chapter 3: What were the key moments that led to the Bears' comeback?

169.64 - 170.682 Marshall Harris

I want my give back for sure.

0

170.702 - 173.425 Unknown

Players and coaches alike, so this one meant something to us.

0

173.566 - 181.636 Jaquan Brisker

You mentioned that you're the noise from the Packers leading up to Spaghetti. Did you notice that? Is that something you took exception to, or what did the motivation come from?

0

181.656 - 185.714 Unknown

They wanted us. They wanted in. You got it.

0

185.734 - 189.019 Mark Grote

I'm trying to tell you. If you don't know now, you know. It's Chicago.

189.34 - 189.821

Yeah.

190.101 - 190.301 Unknown

Bear.

190.902 - 191.063 Leila Rahimi

Bear.

191.563 - 192.645 Unknown

Bear. Bear.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of this victory for the Bears' future?

351.998 - 367.367 Unknown

I thought the Packers would win. You know why I thought the Packers would win? Because even after this game, they still have not run a single offensive play against the Packers this season in which they had the lead. Like, they haven't run an offensive play with a lead in three games, but yet they found a way to win two out of the three games.

0

367.428 - 390.536 Unknown

And understanding that even after Caleb Williams had already led sixth, fourth quarter comebacks, to think that he couldn't do a seventh even while watching the game. Shame on me. I guess shame on all of us who thought that the game was over at some point. Because the game clearly was not over until the final game. Whistle went off. Then be honest with yourselves. That's all of us.

0

391.359 - 414.193 Unknown

Is it all of us? Yes. And you know what? You don't have to tell me this is not confessional. But just be honest with yourself in a private thought. Don't write it down. Type it in your notes app. Some other app will get a hold of it. Just be honest with yourself. Yes, and if it makes you feel good to slam Marshall and I for picking the Packers, and I get it. That's all part of it. I was right.

0

414.213 - 432.56 Unknown

You were wrong. It's not like I picked them by 50. If it makes you feel better, if that's your comfort area, we gave that to you. And Layla picked the Bears, and she is saying it. And I think she's speaking for a lot of people who picked the Bears. You didn't think they were going to win that game. I'm not looking at you, Layla.

0

432.581 - 433.682 DeAndre Swift

I'm talking to the audience. No, it's okay.

433.722 - 446.01 Unknown

You can look at me. Yes, you didn't think they were going to win that game at several times. I will several times, several times, or at least maybe that's just, maybe I'm going back to me. I typed it in my Bears Google Docs several times. Right. So I was like, oh crap, this is over.

446.05 - 463.165 Unknown

If you're being intellectually honest, Bears fans, again, if you need us, if you need us, like I'm here, I'll be in the comments. Yeah. Well, I'm all for it. We are regardless. I don't care for the nasty, but the I was right and you were wrong. That's all fun because that's all part of it. So if you need it, we had the guts to pick the Packers.

463.205 - 491.125 Unknown

But I would like to quote the great Roma Dunzey as he was walking off the field into the locker room. The media is gathered, and Roma Dunzey says, quote, Y'all should know by now. You all should know by now. And that's true. There's no simple way to look at this and say, yep, that's where the Bears won the game. We're going to win coming in. We should know by now that it's going to be magic.

491.145 - 508.549 Unknown

It's going to be miraculous. You're right, Roma Dunes. We should know by now. Mark, I have placed Les Grobstein's bobblehead facing you. Oh, Les, where is he? He's right here. Oh, there he is. Hi, Les. He's on the speaker. KMA, right, Les? Yeah, so what would Les be saying to you for doubting the Bears? Oh, my God.

Chapter 5: Who is Colston Loveland and why is he a rising star?

5332.997 - 5355.163 Unknown

I don't know if we can call him that yet. Who knows what he does in the Rams game, but all look out going into next year when we talk about Colston Loveland. Look out. Or just continue to pay attention. Since week nine, only one tight end has more receiving yards than Colston Loveland in the regular season. That would be Trey McBride. Not Tyler Warren? Not Tyler Warren.

0

5355.183 - 5364.658 Unknown

You know what Trey McBride was this year? First-team All-Pro. More like Bake McBride. First-team All-Pro. Nice. And another thing. Shout-out to the All-Pros, by the way.

0

5364.758 - 5365.259 Mark Grote

Oh, yeah.

0

5365.459 - 5384.201 Unknown

Joe Tooney, Kevin Byer, Darnell Ryken, second team. Who was that last guy? Darnell. Who drafted him? Ryan Poles. He should be proud of that. I thought of that very same thing. I was like, oh, looky here. Second team all pro. He deserves it. Poles has put together a good offensive line. He's done it. What about the defensive line?

0

Chapter 6: What impact did the Bears' playoff victory have on the rivalry with the Packers?

5384.561 - 5396.111 Unknown

He has not put together a great defensive line. No, he has not. Hey, we don't have to worry about this contract situation for another couple of years. And then it's going to be like, but he inherited a bad salary cap. You can also back yourself into one.

0

5396.331 - 5397.452 Leila Rahimi

Don't worry about that right now.

0

5397.492 - 5400.034 Unknown

Watch the Bears go to work on the defense in the offseason.

0

5400.352 - 5429.92 Marshall Harris

number two after the bears eliminated the packers from the playoffs that sounds really good coach ben johnson said this to the assembled media which included our own mark rody there's probably a little bit more noise coming out of there building up north to start the week uh which we heard loud and clear uh players and coaches alike so um this one meant something to us spares coach ben johnson saturday night after the bears went over the packers here's the question was talking all that trash the packers biggest mistake

0

5430.372 - 5454.387 Unknown

Okay, here's the thing. Logically, and I know nobody wants to bring up logic right now, not even myself. But logically, yes, it would make sense that you want to see the Bears another time because of what happened in the last game. Where DJ Moore showed you. Where Caleb Williams showed you. Where on Saturday night, you were able to win and get your get back like the Bears did.

5454.467 - 5474.672 Unknown

So then the series was even, was it not? We would call this a rubber match in baseball. What's up, Alex Bregman, New Cub? Bears. So naturally, the team who lost would want to see that team again and get another chance to face them. I don't think it's because the Packers thought the Bears were going to be an easier opponent. It just made sense. However...

5475.091 - 5499.765 Unknown

Does it take a special coach to twist that into whatever crazy fuel you need in order to get that angry and stiller that mad today? Today. After beating them in order to fuel yourself to get the win? I'm not going to hate it. I'm not going to hate it at all. But you know what? The danger of talking publicly and telling everybody what your plan is, is you've got to come through.

5499.745 - 5516.691 Unknown

And Jeff Halfley's like, oh, we played good for 59 minutes the last time against this team. And we played well the last time before that against this team. Well, did you? Because I saw a second half collapse if I've ever seen one. And Marshall's got a shirt on right now that has the biggest collapse in NFL history.

Chapter 7: How did the Bears manage to come back from a significant deficit?

5517.498 - 5537.027 Unknown

Bills over the Houston Oilers. Y'all remember Frank Reich before he was the head coach? Dirty Frank. No Jim Kelly available. No problem. Came back from a 35-3 third quarter. I was sitting on my grandma's carpet watching this game. And I told you the Bills would win yesterday, by the way. Yeah, you were kind of... And I told you the Chargers were weird, did I not? You did. They imploded.

0

5537.087 - 5555.527 Unknown

They sucked. I said they were weird and unpredictable. You are so right, Layla. I picked the Chargers to win that game, but they are... What were your words again? Unpredictable and weird. Thank you. Also, they have a bad offensive line. I'm sorry. They just do it. They were unimpressive. So two things about what happened and what was said before the game, the trash talk.

0

5555.587 - 5575.817 Unknown

It's okay to be, I want to get my get back because we lost the last game. We want to win the next game. That's where they should have stopped talking. Because when Jeff Halfley had his midweek press conference and ended the press conference with this quote, this is what I knew there was going to be trouble, trouble, trouble. Quote, we are not going to be done, so I will see you guys next week.

0

5575.837 - 5597.656 Unknown

That is what they call bulletin board material, because you're saying, I guarantee a win. On top of that, Keyshawn Nixon was also talking. And I get it. He was involved in the... Bears public enemy number one. Who had a personal foul? Did he not, friends? He did. But forget about the personal foul. Did you see what happened on DeAndre Swift's touchdown run? He was running towards the goal line.

0

5597.917 - 5620.988 Unknown

There was one man in his way. His name was Keyshawn Nixon. He said, let me go ahead and olay this and make a business decision. And he got right up out the way. And that is why Keyshawn Nixon cannot be taken seriously from this point going forward. I agree with that. And I do understand the spirit of this question. Was the talking all that trash the Packers' biggest mistake?

5621.629 - 5641.321 Unknown

I love the trash talking. I don't even like putting it out in the atmosphere that they shouldn't be doing the trash talking. Because I think it is... an essential part of, we're going to call this, the best rivalry in sports, which we often utter here. The trash-talking is a must. It's come from the Bears' side a lot.

5641.441 - 5652.496 Unknown

Jaquan Brisker famously trash-talking after a bad loss to the Packers two years ago. Keep that same energy, Jaquan! Keep it! Right, so it's not always going to look good.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of Alex Bregman's signing for the Cubs?

5652.516 - 5671.908 Unknown

It's going to backfire on you from time to time. So you know what? I will say no to that. That was not their biggest mistake this week because I would like to continue to encourage this sort of talk, this sort of repartee between the two franchises. Witty banter, if you will. Witty banter, if you will. This is the pot stirring grody I know and love.

0

5671.988 - 5695.012 Unknown

And oh, by the way, Jaquan Brisker, didn't he after the game say, I've been telling you guys? And I was like, by God, he has been telling people. Brisker will be inside the locker room when I do the inside the locker room segment. Well, I got a little something something from Brisker. Man, this 125 is going to be explosive. This 125 is going to upset people all over again. I don't think so.

0

5695.032 - 5705.223 Marshall Harris

You're listening to 5 On It on 670 The Score with Laila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody, and you're listening to a Plumbers 911 Football Monday presented by Busey Bank.

0

5705.724 - 5714.854 Caleb Williams

Fill in the blank time. Saturday was the best sports day in Chicago since... Mark Grody, you know what day.

0

5715.256 - 5747.67 Unknown

Give it to me. Give it to me. You know what day. Give it to me. Was it 2016? November 2nd, I believe. That's a pretty good day. I believe. It's a good day. That's the thing. Unless a championship is involved, you can't say that it's the best day superseding a championship being won. So for me, I think it's got to be the best day since November 2nd, 2016. Because I don't know what to say.

5747.79 - 5769.955 Unknown

I know Jed Hoyer is in on the bit. He's pretty good at running with something if it's funny. He's good at picking up a joke and kind of carrying it. So does Jed Hoyer know he's getting some credit for the Bears comeback? Does he know that? He should. It may have circulated to him by now. And frankly, Jed Hoyer should take credit for partially helping the Bears come back.

5770.115 - 5788.774 Unknown

I feel like that's what I would do if I were a GM who made a big deal to get Alex Bregman, the player that I talked about the most. I was like, hey, they could really use this guy, but that's not going to happen, right? No way. Heard he hits lefties. Hard throwing your lefties. What a concept. Not just that. Doesn't strike out a lot either.

5788.834 - 5810.447 Unknown

Then you add to the fact that your Cooper-Flag matchup that you wanted to see with Modest and Cooper-Flag. Modest looked better. The Bulls scored 125 points in that win. And the Hawks got a shutout. The Hawks won 3-0. So, yeah, I'm going to say November 2, 2016. I'm going to go further back, and here's why. Initially, that was the first date that came to mind, but I'm sorry.

5810.487 - 5829.504 Unknown

There were people who were miserable about that. A certain segment of the Chicago was not happy with what happened on November 2nd because they cheer for the other team in town, the White Sox. 2016 was a weird year for the Sox. Listen, Sox have had a lot of weird years. How about that? I'm going to go back to January 26th, 1986.
