2PM: Packers-Bears HATE Is Back & Kyle Has ZERO Confidence in Green Bay
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust turns its attention to Packers-Bears, and something feels very different this time around. Green Bay is a home underdog against Chicago for the first time in roughly two decades despite Tyson Bagent starting at quarterback. While Matt LaFleur insists Bears week is about the players, Chicago is openly embracing the hatred, with Luther Burden saying the Bears want to “beat them real bad and make them quit.” Ben wonders why Green Bay doesn’t publicly match that energy.
Then Kyle does something almost unthinkable: he pleads the fifth when asked whether it’s more likely the Packers blow out Chicago or Chicago blows out Green Bay. After watching the Packers struggle through every game this season, Kyle admits his confidence has cratered. That sparks a full K&B Fam debate over whether LaFleur needs to inject more emotion into the rivalry or whether the players already understand exactly what Bears week means.
Packers Hall of Famer Mark Tauscher joins the argument and sides with Ben on one important point: he prefers Ben Johnson’s approach because the “intensity gap was huge” last season. Tausch doesn’t need LaFleur or Jordan Love publicly talking trash, but he wants Green Bay’s locker room to carry some genuine anger after Chicago took the division and knocked the Packers out of the playoffs. For the first time in years, the Bears enter this rivalry emboldened, and Tausch says Green Bay needs to match that juice.
But Tausch is much more optimistic about the actual football. He believes the Packers can beat Chicago and thinks the season’s ugly start has overshadowed some legitimate reasons for hope. Green Bay is still 2-2 after playing three road games, the offensive line is beginning to stabilize and Micah Parsons should eventually return. Tausch remains concerned about the run game and protection, but says he’s not worried about Jordan Love or Green Bay’s skill players and expects the team to improve as the season progresses.
