Jeremy, I don't really like that play. David, the ticket text and we'll get to the callers. Give us your biggest takeaway from it. I just, look, they did their job. I mean, am I totally down with the whole keeping starters in the fourth quarter to rub their faces in it? I don't care. I'm unemotional about it. If it makes you happy, respect. I'm also not unhinged about it.

0:20.9

Like, this is a travest.

0:22.7

No, I mean, it's what they do.

0:25.4

Do I need that?

0:26.6

No, because I think we all know the Bears.

0:55.2

But evaluation-wise, I'll see you in Baltimore on Monday. I don't even think it was make the people happy, Mike. I'm going to add to that. I think it was make the team happy. I think the team needed this as well. Well, clearly, if Jared Goff's walking around after the game talking about, see, skies don't fall. No one said skies fall. No, we said you got your ass kicked by the Packers.

1:12.2

We said that every concern we had in the offseason played out in real time. I mean, choreographed, end zone celebrations. That was the fumble rusky play that Ben Johnson designed. They put a lot of thought into their spite, which I kind of respect. I was like, did they spend extra time after practice?

Like, I'm not going to get angry about the, the Ben Johnson chance. Like, is it something I would do? No. But I'm not mad if people did it. I just don't care. But like, I'm not going to sit

1:46.6

there and get mad at the lions for rubbing it in on Ben Johnson because Ben Johnson really enjoyed

1:51.2

rubbing other people's faces in it when he was here. So, okay, this is what you operated. Now we're

1:57.9

going to operate on you a little bit. So I'm, like I said, not everything has to have a visceral reaction.

2:04.4
