| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul Matthew Collar here, |
| 0:12.5 | and I had to fire up the live machine following the collapse of the Green Bay Packers. |
| 0:20.3 | They go from up 21 to 3 to losing to the Chicago Bears |
| 0:26.5 | in the wild card round of the playoffs. And which side of this should we start on? The side of |
| 0:34.1 | the Packers falling apart or the side of the Chicago Bears showing exactly what they |
| 0:40.6 | have in Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. We can begin with the Packers falling apart in this game. |
| 0:47.6 | So they get up 21 to 3 and Caleb Williams is struggling. His accuracy is off. Ben Johnson is clearly tweaking out a little bit, |
| 0:57.2 | going for fourth downs that even I don't think on Matt and I would quite go for early in the game. |
| 1:02.7 | And you could see they were kind of panicking. This is Caleb Williams first playoff game. It's |
| 1:08.6 | Ben Johnson's first as a head coach. And it just felt like, |

| 1:30.1 | And whenever I've had Packers guests on, they always kind of talk the same way about LaFleur. |
| 1:37.0 | Like, yeah, he's a pretty good coach and he's gotten a lot out of his quarterbacks. |
| 1:42.0 | But man, when push comes to shove and some of these |
| 1:45.1 | playoff games, this guy just comes apart. And that is exactly what happened in the second half of this |
| 1:52.1 | game. They're throwing a pass to an offensive lineman, which I know didn't really hurt them that |
| 1:57.8 | much, but still bizarre stuff. They're having their starting running back, |
| 2:02.1 | return kicks. They could not run the football. They couldn't get their short passing game going. |
| 2:07.5 | And at the end of the game, when they had a chance to take a six point lead, although it would |
| 2:12.7 | have been better to score a touchdown, they moved down the field into field goal position. |
