Chicago Bears podcast hosts Austin and Reece break down an ugly 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Tyson Bagent turned the ball over and was benched for Case Keenum, Ben Johnson's…
yeah
tough to see how the the game unfolded i mean very clearly as i think everyone's aware at this point i've seen the the storylines that have been driven um by this performance and i think on most of them rightfully so there's the tyson bagent um had a a very poor performance overall the you know watching it back here if you want to jump into all 22 is is not going to make it any any better if anything it's it's more frustrating as far as seeing some of the guys that were open underneath and some of the throws that were forced um I think, you know, in the heat of the moment, Austin, I was pretty upset about the play calling from Ben Johnson as well.
And I'm still not pleased.
I don't think it's one of I think it's one of his worst coach games.
And I think that he deserves some of the heat that he's getting as far as division performances and things like that.
I have the utmost respect for him.
This isn't me.
sounding the alarm by any means, Austin.
But, you know, I think after a performance like that, even though you're going up there with QB2 and Tyson Bajent, simply that's not acceptable to lose like that.
And Lambeau, that's against the standard of this team.
It sounds like they're changing.
Like Wednesday's practice has some different protocol or something like that.
I think it's a closed practice.
So I'm not sure where they feel like they're at as far as hitting a reset.
I think you clearly should be able to move on from a game like this, Austin.
It feels like almost you kind of got to have it because it really took the wind out of the sails of this football team that was feeling pretty good about themselves.
Yeah, and I am super...
I mean, Bears might be catching a little bit of a break with Atlanta with Pennix potentially being out.
But yeah, it's going to be a much tougher matchup than I think a lot of fans initially anticipated.
In terms of the Packers game, man, it was just, I mean, it was a disappointing start to end.
I think like...
He was getting some guys open that if you're a backup quarterback, are your dream to be open, which are these underneath routes.
yeah
