All right, we are back here in San Francisco with the Hall of Famer.

0:04.2

Brian Erlacker, back on CHEO.

0:06.5

Always love having you on.

0:07.8

Appreciate it.

0:08.6

Now, I'm going to go straight to this because the Packer game, the playoff game,

0:15.4

if people watch closely, there was a moment where this man came out there in the end zone

0:20.2

and hyped up the crowd,

0:21.6

and it felt like the game from that point on changed in the Bears' favor.

0:27.1

Thank you for that, by the way.

0:28.3

Yeah, sure. That was all me. Yeah. I'll tell you what, the crowd, so I watched the,

0:33.3

when they beat up the Packers the first time at Soldier, I watched it on TV from Florida.

0:55.4

I don't think I've ever, I don't remember Soldier Field being like that when I played. I mean, I don't remember the towels waving. I mean, they cheered at the right time. It was phenomenal. And then I went to the playoff game versus when they beat the Packers again at Soldier Field. And being on the field, waving the towel, you know, the tie turn or whatever whatever you want to call it and then we watch the next five minutes from the from the little wherever the bears run out what's it

1:00.7

called the tunnel the tunnel where we used to run out when I played the tunnel unbelievable I used to

1:06.0

call the tunnel of love because that's yeah because I'd be standing I'd be I'd be I'd be standing right next to bear man I reason I call it a love you guys come out we'd be showing you guys love the beating on the the walls there are so loud but man I've never I just can't remember it being like that when I played it was unbelievable the fans got it this year I mean they're giving a lot to cheer for it but it was amazing do was amazing. Do you look at the Bears right now? Like, oh, my God, this team has a chance to make a run that we could never have made because they have the pieces in place. They have that one piece that really, really helps a quarterback for the next 15, 20 years, I think. It's unbelievable. I mean, Ben, I didn't think Caleb was bad last year.

1:44.7

He looked at his turnover.

1:45.7

She doesn't turn the ball over that much. I don't have a couple of picks late in the season. Those are going to happen, but I'm just such a fan of the – he values the football. Because athletic ability is unreal. He can make any throw. He's right. When he said that, I can make every throw. He wasn't lying. that dude makes throws that you're not going can see a lot of guys make. Yeah, I mean, so the key, I guess, is how they can build off of it. I mean, a lot of younger Bears fans, they just point to these outlier years like 2018 where then nothing kind of builds off of it. But I mean, you were a part of a team that had a run for a while where you guys were competitive every year.

2:18.3

You guys gave the Packers a run for their money every year.

2:22.1

You mean they gave us a run for our money.

2:23.9

Yeah, exactly.

2:24.8
