Our goat.

I have been hard for almost a year and I’m not fucking calling my doctor

“It needs to be a rivalry”. That is it. Period. I’m not eating popcorn with Matt LaFleur.
Fuck the Packers. Always and forever.
I love this man.
No fucking word salad or soft ass “they’re just like any other game” a coach that finally *gets it*
The only thing wrong with Ben Johnson is his name doesn’t have hard syllables like Ditka, Butkus, Urlacher. That small sin aside, this dude is coaching perfection.
Imagine how hard Eberflus would have backpedaled if he was caught saying anything remotely close to that
Eberlose would never
God damn right, league is better when the bears and packers hate each other and want to destroy one another
George Halas would be so proud. Hell yeah!
Goddammit, I love this man.
Why is this so hard for the media or other fan bases to understand?
Finally, a coach who gets it.
For sure sparked it, Green Bay will be coming for our heads next year. Let’s try and be good for 4 quarters this time
Entertaining rivalry to me hahaha 😂
Why the hell are these reporters even asking these questions knowing full well what the answer is?
There is NO love between Bears and Packers. Fucking at all. What a shit question
GOATED RESPONSE. Thats how you answer that. No real feelings. No bringing up past comments. Just putting on a show because this is all entertainment. I love this coach (ill get used to his cute playcalling in due time).

What a stupid fucking question.
Best coach since Ditka

That’s my fucking coach.
Green Bay, WI: *exists*
Ben Johnson:

Only butthurt Green Bay fans are crying. They’ve been doing this shit for years and they don’t like the taste of it… fuck you. Fuck the packers. Bear down.
fuck em
People are really trying their damnedest to make him out to be the bad guy completely forgetting that snub LeFleur gave him after that first game. Ben was just returning the petty. I don’t see anything wrong with that at all.
The Bears are going to the Superbowl. The rivalry has become national news. It’s time to educate the non NFL fans. 🐻⬇️
I hope this was national media and not a local guy. Otherwise it’s a stupid question
I love this. I’m sure Matt Lefleur as a human being is a decent person, but he’s coach of the Green Bay Packers so f*** him.
When they fire him maybe we can have a beer. Until then, f*** him.
This man absolutely gets it.
I want my HC to need ZERO reasons to hate the Packers aside from the fact that they are the packers.
That’s the start and end of it. Fuck ’em.

This makes me so happy. Fuck Dweberfluss for that basketball game.
i really don’t understand the issue here. maybe it is because i’m not from the us but this man is not the leader of the country or something. he’s a head coach of a football team whose fans have been saying fuck the packers for decades. he’s not going to be a bad influence on people lol.
Wpuld have been hard as fuck if he would’ve said “the city of Chicago, the village of Green Bay….”
George Halas at every opportunity ensured the survival and prosperity of Green Bay when it looked like they could or would be gone. He always did it and said he did it for one reason: Football is better with Bears vs Packers. That rivalry helped launch and sustain the NFL. It became quite lopsided for a lot of years, but now that it looks to be competitive again: we are all better for it (except Packers fans who liked the dominance).
We’ve been missing that attitude, but it looks like we found it again. FTP & 🐻⬇️

These are the vibes I get and good for it.
Somehow it’s only ok if it’s a rivalry if Green Bay is winning
