Man, love is in the air. Ten AM to two on the score. This time they do bring it back. Williams steps up. Williams lets it rib and gets picked off by Byron Murphy. Throws it back across his body and Murphy's there for the interception.

Mark Grote 0:34

Yeah, Caleb Williams picked on this day. He was 15 of 26, 138 yards. And that interception right there by Murphy, as you saw on Fox as well. Welcome you back into Rahemian Grody on 104-3. The score.

goodness that game is at home.

Mark Grote 1:04

We'll see if they can uh get themselves back together. Three one two six forty four sixty-seven sixty-seven is the number. We are ready for you. Have added callers. This is a good time to jump in. Three one two six forty four sixty-seven sixty-seven. We start with Paul in Palos Heights. What's going on, Paul? You're on the score. Rahemian Garodi.

Unknown 1:27

Good morning. It's pretty simple why I thought the Bears lost yesterday. is because of what they did to Carolina. They smoked 'em and they became overconfident.

How did the Bears’ offense struggle on second‑and‑10 and third‑down situations?

Unknown 1:38

And then when Ben Johnson says, Well, we're trying to score thirty seven points a game, why do you even have to announce that? Why don't you just do it? And and that overconfidence gave uh Minnesota a little bit of uh oh, I'm gonna show the Bears what we're made of and look what they did.

Mark Grote 1:55

Yeah, thanks thanks for the call, Paul. I I don't know if it's that simple, and and maybe it is some sort in some sort of subliminal way, but there was the the Mark Carmen moment where Ben Johnson erased and deleted the the previous week, the 59 points, saying out loud that hadn't scored a single point. I my problem is that Ben Johnson just didn't counter well to what Flores was putting out there. Or if he did counter well, his player certainly did not execute.

Vinny Rotino 2:24

I did wonder about the hangover aspect and you can talk to the media whose job it is to look backwards and forwards for context and important information, by the way, all you want. But it's how the players feel in the locker room. I know Olin Kruz referred to that this morning on Haw and Peyton talking about the don't drink the poison, you know, did you guys did you guys do that? But you knew and I knew that they were going to attack the center of the line. You you talked to the beat writer for the athletic for the Minnesota Vikings on the Take the North podcast, and that is exactly what happened in this. game. Brian Flores knew exactly where to go. He showed you. He probably told you. You probably knew it was going to happen.

Vinny Rotino 3:05

And I think we're also seeing still some adjustment that is taking time between Garrett Bradbury and Caleb Williams too.

Mark Grote 3:12

No doubt. I I think that is real. Some of this was self inflicted on his part, but he did say I I had a nice chat with him after the game, which we'll play later. I asked him about the penalties and the culpability and he took complete responsibility. But the other thing that stood out to me, he kept on saying I don't know why we couldn't turn two yards into ten yards, why we couldn't turn four yards into fifteen yards. That that was the part part that he kept lamenting to me and he c and he kept mentioning too. I kept seeing second and ten, second and ten, second and ten. We always talk about third down, but second and ten is not a great place to be either.

Vinny Rotino 3:48

No, and it's a really good observation. And what I kept thinking was when the game started, probably midway through the first quarter, maybe later, I kept thinking to myself, You can't get in third and longs against A, the Vikings, B in this weather. Not today. You cannot force yourself to get into a third and long where you are forced to pass the ball.
