The O and one Lions Sunday at Ford Field taking on the O and one bears it is the return

of Ben Johnson or as I like to call him Lauren on our show here in Detroit Benedict Johnson making

his return to Chicago to Detroit from Chicago great to see you my friend what was what first

all what was Monday night like and what was your reaction?

And now as the dust is settled, how do you feel about this weekend?

Yeah, Monday night and really week one was a real tough, like, hard not to overreact kind of situation.

Because we've been waiting and waiting and waiting to see what everything was going to be.

And so then, of course, whatever we see in the first game of Ben Johnson's offense and

Dennis Allen's defense, that's going to be like the ultimatum and really like, oh, this must be what the bears are as a team when it's hard to keep it in perspective and say, no, this is like their first actual game doing this. Like we don't have to think that everything we saw in week one is exactly what it's going to be the rest of the season. And yet there was something still particularly, like, painfully familiar about team blows it at the end and has a win slip right out of their finger tips in a way that felt kind of Iber flusian.

But at least it kind of like they got there.

Like the result felt the same, but they got there in a different way.

So at least it's it's a different kind of disappointment because expectations were so much higher that they thought, especially with how strong they started that game, that, oh, everything was solved and then all of a sudden it felt like nothing was solved. Interesting here in Detroit. People are panicking. People do not like this. The expectations have been raised. The bar has been raised.
