The narrative here is incomplete. Do more research on injuries for starters. Bears were missing key pieces that’s why Green Bay tried to take our only wide receiver starter out. 😂 I can’t with the packers glaze. Recovered onside kick doesn’t score the game tying touchdown nor the game winner.
I know you's guys say you're not Packer fan's, but are fan's of the North, so you in dedicatedly fan's? 🤔 I do know, I have become a little bit, I dare say a fan of the Viking? It is still hard for me, to say the same of the Bears though?🤐 I think it's called empathy For you's guys? 😢😉😂 It's hard to be a fan of a football team, sometimes!
Packer fans are really really ifs and buts poor losers. If only their team wasn't made out of a bunch of fragile wilting flowers.
Believe me, nobody feels sorry for the Packers. If your suffering is playoffs every year then many teams would love to have your suffering. This is just the start of Bears domination. Get used to it.
Malik Willis had a 143 passer rating… Higher than any game Love has had all year. Let's lose the Jordan Love excuse.
There's nothing better than watching the Packers do what the Bears did for years. Instead of Rodgers beating the Bears at the end it's now Williams doing to Packers what Rodgers used to do to the Bears. Many more of these losses are ahead for Packers.
Romeo is the guy I would want in that spot. Just a bad bounce. He has great hands.
If Vikings win do packers keep love off the field? (Assuming the decision is a 50-50 by Saturday)
lol they are trying to talk down on the bears so bad with these backhand compliments. yall had more chances to stop them after that onside kick and you didn't. You LOST. We also had injuries, stop acting like we're 100% healthy. Caleb was down his two starting receivers. It was DJ and the 3rd/4th stringers. We played a rookie in his first game ever for godsake.
Alright so if the bears beat the niners can we finally have our respect????😂😂😂 yall been saying the same stuff every week.
I’m betting on Packers beating the Bears in round one
Nice thumbnail with Jordan right where he belongs. 😉 The true king of the North! Go pack go! 🧀
If the Packers woulda, coulda, shoulda and how lucky the Bears were is all they're saying. They want to give the Packers credit for playing 80 % of a good game. BEAR TF DOWN !!!!!
2010 vibes for me and Lions losing gave us a big cushion to lose this game we are good, just need to win that last game for momentum 🧀🧀🧀
This Bears team feels way more sustainable than the 2018 team. You have BJ and Caleb winning games not an aging defense with Vic Fangio who then left the following year to be the Broncos HC
Watching packers fans struggle with the slow steady change of the tides in the nfc north and do everything they can to convince themselves they are still the best team in the division – priceless.
The bears will also have some very important players back, if indeed we play them again. 🐻 ⬇️
This is the issue I have with this show. It’s bias towards the Vikings (understandably) and Packers. We talk about “if” the onside situation. I can say “if” receivers didn’t drop catches. “If” Ben Johnson didn’t call that trick play in the end zone. You lessen The Bears win to make packers fan feel better about themselves. Remember, now the bears have tape on packers defense without Parsons’s and other key defensive players where they didn’t before.
Do Packers fans not realize other NFC North teams have been on this side of the "heartbreaking loss" coin dozens of times in recent history? Where is all the sympathy supposed to come from?
They're just not used to it. Bears fans have had their hearts ripped out by Rodgers on last second plays several times. Bears fans were the laughingstock of the entire league all last season after the Jayden Daniels Fail Mary.
Entitled Town.
thank you ziggy for picking the 49ers. auto W for the bears! Merry Christmas!
You can say that the onside kick was the defining moment but I disagree. The defining moment was the poor play call on the first drive by the Bears that stalled the offense for the rest of the half because GB played the time of possession game. It’s a divisional game, weird things happen, but the coping by GB fans and this podcast to try and explain how a better team found a way to win a game that only a handful of teams are even capable of pulling out is peak comedy.
Ziggy is a literal, real life depiction of the Homer Simpson meme where Homer starts out with a Vikings hat, disappears into the bushes, then emerges from the bushes with a Packers hat on 😂😂😂
12:12 The face mask did not keep Brinson from getting a sack. The face mask is the only reason he was going to be able to get a sack there. Without the pulling on the face mask, Williams was getting out of there.
Bears fan: yeah our d is ass. Waiting for the bottom to drop with the t/o's, but I will point out that Dennis Allen is a real plus for us and can hold things together for a while
Even white Bears fans can be a handful Paul!!
Secret Sauce!?? I think it can't be understated the impact Tom Clements has had on the QB's in GB. Yes he's currently not there but he was there for so much of it. Dudes an absolute legend!
I do not understand why playoffs matter at this point. The North is lost and we can’t make the Super Bowl. The season is a wash.
Packers fans are such cry babies. Yall gotta make up hypothetical scenarios to justify your loses. Gtfoh this is football anything can happen, and what happened is yall choked and we won. End of story. 🐻⬇️
So there was a lot more trash flying/tumbling across the field when the Packers offense was on the field. Hot dog wrappers. If intentional by Bears, then very unclassy.
When does the potential 70 yard play happen? The majority of the time it’s 1 yards gain, 4 yards loss, 1 yard gain, kick or turnover on downs.
Also, the bears have one of their best wins in 15 years, and the only thing you guys are talking about is the “best takeaways” from the packers loss. We need a bears fan to be on this show because this is some clown shit and this is why bears fans dislike you guys.
Caleb Williams, 1st overall pick, comes to the game, has a 4th qtr comeback and a walk off bomb in overtime and y’all talk about Malik Willis and Jordan love more than him. I repeat, Malik Willis. You guys are clowns.
"If if if if if if if if if" Fucking boo hoo 😂😂😂. This cope is absolutely hilarious.
This is why people say yall hate the bears. You talked about Malik Willis, Jordan love, and JJ McCarthy more than Caleb Williams, the guy who just came back and won the game to get his team to first in the division by way of walk off overtime bomb. This shit just comes from jealousy. Packers fans don’t want the bears to have the best qb in the division, Vikings fans wish this team could be them, and lions fans are mad we took their coach, clinched the playoffs, while they’re gonna miss it. Cry more. Fucking clowns I swear.
If youve been watching football for decades, its obvious the packers are the better team. Just down a few key players
It could be worse Paul. Instead of losing to the Bears we could be in the Vikings position
You seriously wouldn’t rather Kyler Murray over JJ McCarthy?!
Vikings fans can’t admit they were wrong. It’s borderline insanity.
Put it this way.. if JJ was doing this on another team and you had no connection to him how would you view him as a prospect.
Plus he’s on a top 5 offense doing this.. imagine he was drafted by the Browns? He would look absolutely terrible.
Bears fans coping. The majority of that game and the previous game showed that any future game would likely go in the packers favor. Thats why you can look at a game like this and say “the bears won in a flukey way and in a best of 3 contest the Packers likely win 2 of the 3 games”
Ziggy Ziggy Ziggy. You are the laughing stock of the internet. When the entire world of NFL analysts is shocked at the 60 yard unbelievable throw into a 20 mph cross wind, and only you Ziggy goes MEH…… Only you. The one and only Ziggy clown show. When PFF says it was the most highest rated pass of the year, and was preceded by an amazingly clutch 4th down touchdown pass to tie the game, for you to say MEH, or to criticize the greatest moments in his young career is astonishing. You have earned the title of IGNORANT TROLL. And even that may be an understatement. If he hoists a Lombardi trophy and you say "well he threw three balls away and missed 2 passes. FIRE ZIGGY PAUL. He is an albatross.
Ziggy cntinues to remind me of the annoying knowit all who was in class with in middle school. Such an arrogant, insufferable douche
The Bears were without their starting safety in Brisker and their 2 starting wide receivers so when they come back the Packers they will get smoked
Dumbo they moved up and down the field because Allien wasn't going to let Love bombs away remember they almost lost to this team in at Green Bay you think this Bears team is afraid of Green Bay
And oh ya good teams win these games
Ziggy…. Please define a "flukey play". Do you mean like the PI call in game one when no one touched a viking receiver and he fell down drawing a game changing penalty? Do you mean like 80% of Jordan Loves one footed fall away passes? Do you mean like the LONG list of the Vikings 14-2 season one score games? You sir are intellectually dishonest. When athletes make great plays you have the temerity to call it "flukey". You continue to dig your hole deeper and deeper. ZERO credibility Ziggster, none, nada, ZILCH.
Last few days were seeing how GB fans can’t deal with heart break losses and the cope is real. Acting like they the only ones with injuries. It’s not like and practice squad WR got the game tie TD or anything. Until y’all deal with decades of heartbreak losses and losing traditions and maybe you’ll get sympathy. All this shoulda coulda woulda doesn’t do anything for y’all. Along with that we dealt with the Cubs for the longest time too b4 they won it all in 2016 after 108 years of losing. Learn how to take your L and move on.
It’s funny with rams and Seahawks games this year. Whoever loses is treated like they are the much better team. After week 11 the Seahawks got that treatment, now the rams are getting the same treatment.
Packers gunna have to go to Philly .. and ima laugh
If we (the Packers) get in, I'm calling it the "Payback Tour". Get the Bears 1st rd, Seattle 2nd rd, San Fran nfc championship, Denver in Superbowl. Boom!
So many excuses for the packers haha. As herm Edwards said “you play to win the games!!!” 😂
Chicago didn’t win that game, the Packers lost it.
