Welcome into another edition of the Under Center podcast on NBCSportchicago.com. I'm JJ

Stankevitz, joined as always by John Moon-Mullen here at Halis Hall. Moon, it's Packers

Week. The Bears are favored. They're favored. The first time this year, they're favored to beat an opponent. It's the Green Bay Packers. Let's start with this question, though. Is this game a must-win game if John Fox expects to keep his job beyond the 2017 football season?

I think absolutely. It's, you know, it's funny, you say Packer Week, and I'm so used to thinking

here, we're all, all Chicago, oh, Brett Farve's coming to town, or Aaron Rogers is coming

to town. No one's saying, Brett, only is coming to town. Maybe the defensive guys are. But

yeah, this is, you know, they have it, they can see the playoffs up ahead. I mean, it's

way up ahead, but in that respect,

it's big. But John Fox coming off, what is it, nine and, like, lose track of the numbers,

after nine and 32, 23. He's, yeah, it's, it's, it's not good. No, no, 23, 9 and 23.

Yeah, 9 and 23.

Yeah, I mean, two bad seasons in a row.

He comes into the season on a warm seat anyway, but, yeah, beating the Packers is a statement,

not just kind of the meatball statement, you've got to beat the Packers,

but they need to win, they need to start beating people in their division and yeah this is the time if there's ever one they're kind of out of

excuses Aaron Rogers and Brett Farber not here and so if you can't read this is

kind of referendum as I wrote on on Ryan Pace's roster you know how long

that have Chicago said well gee if they didn't have number 12 and number

four right we'd be just as good as there well here's your chance yeah and looking at the have Chicago said, well, gee, if they didn't have number 12 and number four up,

we'd be just as good as there. Well, here's your chance.

Yeah, and looking at the way that this matchup shapes up, you say there's no excuses.

Green Bay's defense is not, they're not very good, quite frankly.
