Process to perform and right here on the Packett A podcast channel as well. If you missed our live show on Monday, highly recommend checking it out. We spent that show primarily talking about Packers Vikings, some of the takeaways from that game. We talked to a little Matt LaFleur as well. Today we're going to primarily be talking about the Chicago Bears. But Mike, before we get there, how the heck are you doing, my friend? Fantastic. Let's talk some Bears, baby. Let's talk bears. Let's talk playoffs.

This is the best time of the year.

And it feels like these wild card matchups are even better than usual. I cannot wait for this weekend. To me, headline by Packers Bears, I might be biased, but that's a hell of a football game. Let's start right there. Packers Bears, I think everyone kind of gets what they want. I think the Bears probably wanted to play the Packers.

I think the Packers probably wanted to play the Bears.

I think the NFL wanted this game to happen. I wanted this game to happen. Fans on both sides want this game to happen. So what are your initial thoughts on Packers, Bears in this

huge matchup this weekend? Yeah, given the fact that the seventh seed, I don't think this could have turned

out any better. I would much rather play Chicago than have to go to Philly and play the Eagles for a number of reasons, most of which are on their defensive line.

Listen, this is a game that we've already had two very closely contesting games.

The Bears continue to show that I think they've improved a little bit up front maybe on their

defensive line but I mean they're still going up over five yards of carry on the ground

they're still you know bottom bottom third of the league in in points per game on defense like

this is a team where you just feel like if you were ever in a rut or if you

can just hold on to the football and not lose a turnover batter in a disastrous way, you just feel

like you should win this game. On paper, I feel like the Packers are the better football team.

And I don't know how many teams in the NFC at the top we can say that about.

But I think Seattle is really good.

I think the Rams are always a tough out.

I think the Eagles in the playoffs, the Eagles are extremely tough out.

I think the Bears are kind of the team you want to line up against.
