On paper, a beat-up Packer team on a four game losing streak is who you should want to play in the first playoff game. I’m worried how this is a historically bad matchup for the Bears. Judging by the two games they played it’s a toss-up. In any case although the defense gave up only 19 points today, if they play like they did these last two games they have no shot.

We need to add to that by competing the 1st 3 quarters...

Most of Caleb's throws are not on the #s and a lot of them are hot throws from short...just a little more touch on them and completions are assured...

pessimist in me also isnt sure about the last sentence based on this years sample size either, what 2 catches (3, 4?) a game were clearly catchable and dropped?

Well, at least the Packers getting it handed to them by the Bears won’t be on a full, over the air national broadcast………

if it’s originating from Amazon, are Kirkie & Al Michaels calling it?

Yep. In the playoffs, most networks top and/or #2 team (depending on how many games that network has on a given weekend) will call games. In this weekend's case, FOX has two games so Joe Davis and Greg Olsen will call Rams/Panthers and Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady will be at Niners/Eagles.

Brady is kind of growing on me in the booth. Sorry not sorry.

I think his content has always been good. He just needed to work on his delivery, which is coming with practice.

I give him credit for being a Caleb Williams fan from the start, recognizing his talent and how badly the Bears used him in Caleb’s first season.

I will say he is better this year than last year, but doesn't really provide the type of insight that you would think a decent former qb in the booth could give, let alone probably the best ever. He serves up a lot of meaningless platitudes.

If this was a shot at Olsen, I'd disagree with the take. He's really good and would still be on the #1 team for Fox if Brady hadn't came to the network.

Olsen is okay . my point is all the hype about Brady & he’s not much better than Olsen . and to me , their voices sound alike
