What are the implications of the Bears-Packers playoff matchup?
This hour is brought to you by Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago. The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. 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. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye.
Rahimi, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2. On 670.
We all had different interpretations of what Ben Johnson had to say yesterday after he watched the film.
We got a number of areas that we could play better. But at the same time, I mean, the number one thing is that we're looking to limit the opponent with their points. And I thought our defense played well enough for us to win that ballgame.
Okay, I get that. But at the same time, you didn't win it. And in the game before, you didn't win, and that was too many points. It can be that simple sometimes.
It's not that simple.
It is that simple. It can especially be that simple when you consider how much the Lions outgamed the Bears at the half last Sunday and how much the 49ers outgamed the Bears in the half the week before.
What upsets me about this or gets me angry about this is that he is in charge of the defense, too. I don't like it when you have a head coach who we know what his major is. We know that Ben Johnson is the offensive genius and he's the play caller and all of that goes with it. But guess what? He's in charge of the defense, too. You know that going into the postseason, having a defense that has been exposed that badly is a really horrible thing. You got lucky. You got lucky to give up just the 19 points.
How does John Harbaugh's firing impact the NFL coaching landscape?
I mean, luck? What coked-out, glass-piped suckers came up with that little chestnut?
Okay, I completely disagree with both of you here, and here's why. Here's the reality. Ben Johnson, after 17 games, understands what he has in the defense and what he is lacking in the defense. And he understands we're in the playoffs now. The things that you guys want corrected, the things that the city of Chicago wants corrected about the Bears defense is not going to be corrected until the offseason. That is something you have to accept. They're not going to get to the quarterback at a level in which would make us all feel a little bit more comfortable with the defense. You You know what? That statement gets more and more true about us as a whole every single day. That we can't handle the truth? Yeah.
It's been that way for a while now.
Yeah, but when you hear it like that, thanks to Tyler Beterbaugh's open, really puts it all in perspective there, doesn't it? This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score. And this is a day that we are lucky. As Bears fans, we don't have to deal with when it comes to trying to figure out who the head coach is here. So now we just get to sit back and watch the chaos. Just put your feet up. Put your head, you know, tilt it back in your hands a little bit. Not Saranda Kober style, but, you know, more like relaxing style.
Goes back to one of the big truths in life. Everyone loves drama. But you know what they really love? Other people's drama.
Yeah, everyone loves drama when it's not yours. And for those of you who like it when it's yours, what's your heart rate like every day?
Toxic.
What factors led to the Ravens' decision to part ways with Harbaugh?
Yeah. What's happening there?
Right.
When there's drama, look for trauma, as they say. And that's kind of the case here on a lighter note when it comes to the game changer that is John Harbaugh's firing in the NFL after 18 years. 18 years.
Yeah.
The Ravens had him locked up for 18 years. And now a changing of the guard. And I think what we knew at some point would come to an end because all of them do in the NFL. You know, there was a weird symmetry watching the Ravens and the Steelers game on Sunday night. But it's knowing now that... Not only does this become the game changer for coaching in the league when it comes to the current head coaching jobs that are open, but that he's such a big name, it could affect playoff teams. This coaching cycle is far from over.
