Wildcard Weekend means one thing: it’s time to invite a lifelong Packers fan on the show and let the rivalry breathe. Aaron Leonard joins the pod to break down an odd month in Green Bay and what the real temperature is for Packers fans heading into Bears–Packers, postseason edition.

We talk ceiling without Micah, Matt LaFleur’s long-term security, whether Jeff Hafley is sticking around or headed for a bigger job, and why this matchup feels equal parts comfortable and terrifying for Green Bay (and Chicago).

Is this still a little-brother situation—or has the rivalry officially arrived? How painful would a playoff loss to Chicago actually be? And if things go sideways, what’s the headline the next morning?

Aaron gives his three keys to a Packers win, we debate how the Bears could pull it out, and we lock in official predictions.

Wildcard stakes. Historic rivalry. Friendship temporarily suspended.

Let’s get into it. 🏈🎙️

Adam and Luke kick things off with breaking news out of Baltimore. The Ravens fired head coach John Harbaugh. After dissecting that decision, Adam and Luke dive into the Bears loss to the Lions and what it means heading into the postseason. Luke gives his raw reaction to the game, then Adam puts him on the spot with the big questions Bears fans are still talking about.

Would you have gone for it on 4th down late in the 4th Quarter? Did the defense actually play well enough to win? And what really matters most as the Bears gear up for a massive matchup against Green Bay?

Plenty of hindsight, strategy talk, and playoff-level nerves as we preview Wild Card Weekend and set the table for what’s next.
