Summary

The Packers are heading to the playoffs, and this time the Bears are bringing everybody. Ryan dives deep into the complete injury landscape for Saturday's Wild Card showdown, revealing that for the first time all season, Chicago will have both Roma Odunze AND Keenan Allen—wait, Luther Burden—on the field against Green Bay simultaneously.

But before breaking down the matchups, there's a bizarre curveball to address: reports claiming the Packers reached out to John Harbaugh's camp. What does that mean for Matt LaFleur? Ryan examines the strange speculation and tries to make sense of it all.

The episode features an exhaustive position-by-position comparison of both rosters across all three 2024 matchups. Key revelations include Jordan Love's stunning 89.3 passing grade this season, the concerning offensive line situation with Zach Tom listed as a game-time decision, and whether guys like Baron Sorrell and Devonte Wyatt's absence will impact the defensive line rotation.

Ryan also highlights the overlooked storyline: in the game the Packers lost, Jordan Love only played half before Malik Willis took over. This time, with a (hopefully) healthy Love and the full receiving corps finally clicking, the offense-defense gap could be the difference maker.

You can do so for as little as $1 per month this Saturday. We are going to be live streaming the game. I would love it if you could be there. That's it. We'll leave it at that for now. Okay. I'll tell you what we're going to do. As far as news, I'm not going to break it up. I'm just going to go in order as things happen. We're going to rip through some of this. Some of it obviously is much more relevant than others. We've got Packers and Bears news and whatnot. But again, I'm just, I'm just going to start from the beginning and go through it because it's easier and it's faster that way. So first of all, some of the other teams in terms of their injury news as well. I mean, this is all relevant. These are the teams we're going to be potentially seeing if we continue on, starting with the 49ers. Ricky Pearsall did not practice. Trent Williams did not

1:49.4

practice. George Kittle is limited. The 49ers are a little bit banged. Seahawks have designated

1:57.5

tight end Elijah Arroyo to return from IR. That's obviously not a positive because whether or not he play, well, he can't play this week,

2:05.0

whether or not he would be ready this week, I guess, you could say.

2:09.1

If we win, we will be going on to play the Seahawks, presumably with Arroyo on the squad.

2:17.4

Eagles designated Aziz O'Jolari to return from IR. It's another

2:21.9

NFC guy for the Philadelphia Eagles. So teams are starting to bring people back. And you can tell

2:28.0

that they've kind of planned this. You know, it's, I mean, not as much as you can plan it. It's been a lot of let's keep them out, and then, you know, we'll try as hard as we can to get these guys back when it matters most. And obviously, it's playoff time, so it matters most, whether it's a matter of, you know, we wanted to hold him out one more week last week to get him maximally healthy or he's not really ready, but it's playoff time. So get your butt back in here and you're going to play. Buccaneers have announced that Todd Bowles will remain the team's head coach. I don't know why teams do that. I mean, I guess it makes sense. Todd Bowles is unsure and the team is probably unsure. They had a meeting and they decided to keep going. It just doesn't send a great message when it's like, you're on the hot seat. We probably should fire you, but fine. I guess you can stay kind of thing. It's very weird. Bears wide receiver DJ Moore was limited on Wednesday. Bears wide receiver Roma Dunes 8 was limited on Wednesday. These two are probably going to play. Very big, very important

3:25.9

development, whether or not DJ Moore and Roma Dunesay, especially Roma Dunzee, end up playing

3:30.2

in this game. It goes on to talk about Moore. It says more is on track to play, having logged two
