Behind enemy lines at this so called “title town”. A lone Bears fan roaming the Green Bay streets with a trio of cheeseheads has taught me a few things about humility. I am taking in all Lambeau has to offer while being heckled by Packer fans, but there truly is something contagious in the air. The love for hard nosed NFC North football is alive and well regardless of who you’re rooting for today. This is what we do. This is what he play for. Meaningful football in early December against rivals with something to prove on either side. Couldn’t ask for a better day to be a Bears fan.
Despite the horrendous green and yellow propaganda, the one thing I have to give the Packers credit to is the stadium experience. Something pretty cool about parking in some dudes lawn and using his bathroom before walking the residential streets to the Lambeau parking lot. I wish I had more hate and vinegar in my heart to be talking shit, but I honestly am scared. You can feel it. The passion here is unmatched and there’s really something about a December game at Lambeau that makes you realize the power of the home field in the NFL. While the hospitality is warming and familiar as a midwesterner, there’s the feint feeling for a lack of genuineness in the locals kind words here, knowing we are about to air all grievances through our teams on the field.
But here’s what I have to say. This game means somethin to me man. After being berated by NFL fans for years, it’s time to make a change. Walking away with today being a competitive game is all I ask for. And I think we can outperform that. The leadership in this Bears locker room is not something I’ve witnessed at Lambeau. If we can make something happen, it’s gotta be today. With kickoff an hour away, here are some predictions:
- Monangai 100+ yards
- Caleb will go 18/26 for 2 touchdowns and a pick
- Bears defense will have at least one takeaway
- DJ Moore 90+ yards and a touchdown
- Bears win 20-17
Bear down forever.
