ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a detailed breakdown of Saturday night’s Packers–Bears showdown, cutting through emotion to focus on what will actually decide the game. Wilde believes the Packers are still the better team, but stresses that margin for error is razor thin — especially against a Bears defense that thrives on turnovers. Key takeaways from the segment: 🏈 Why turnovers decide everything Wilde explains that Chicago doesn’t drop interception chances. Unlike the Packers, who have let opportunities slip, the Bears capitalize. Jordan Love’s recent picks raise the stakes — one mistake could swing the entire game. 🏃 Run defense vs. fatigue While the Packers have improved statistically against the run, Wilde notes how opponents still attack Green Bay on early downs to: Shorten the game Wear down the defense Create constant third-and-short situations That fatigue showed up late in the first Bears matchup — and it’s still a concern. ⏱️ Third downs are the real problem Wilde pushes back on the idea that the Packers “can’t stop the run,” arguing the real issue is failing to get off the field. Long Bears drives aren’t about big runs — they’re about staying ahead of the chains. 🎯 Jordan Love’s growth — and limits Wilde praises Love’s bounce-back ability after interceptions but is clear: the Bears are elite at turning tipped or late throws into takeaways. Love must play aggressive and disciplined. 📊 Why this game is there for the taking Despite injuries and emotions: The Packers already beat Chicago once The Bears are missing key receivers The matchup hasn’t fundamentally changed Wilde says Green Bay should expect to win — and will be disappointed if they don’t. 🎧 A calm, analytical, and confidence-checking breakdown of Packers–Bears — with Jason Wilde bringing clarity where fans feel anxiety.

The Packers went from Super Bowl buzz to a brutal setback in Denver — losing Micah Parsons for the season and dealing with multiple key injuries. Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf break down whether Green Bay can still contend in the NFC North, how the defense adjusts, who must step up, and what Christian Watson, Zach Tom, Evan Williams, and Josh Jacobs’ statuses mean. And with first place on the line again vs the Bears, can the Packers rally? Jason explains why all hope is not lost.

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with a packed segment touching on Bears dysfunction, Packers accountability, and crucial injury updates ahead of Green Bay’s showdown in Chicago. 🔥 Rashan Gary’s Comment: “I think I’ve been playing great.” Wilde doesn’t hold back — he calls the comment “slightly delusional.” He breaks down exactly why: Gary has 0 sacks in 7 straight games He repeatedly avoids acknowledging his drop-off He dodged accountability in multiple answers What a true leader should say when performance dips Wilde contrasts Gary’s approach with Elton Jenkins and Zach Tom, who have openly labeled their own play “s–t” when struggling. Chewy takes it further — accusing Gary of loafing on film — and Wilde explains why many inside the team privately noticed the same plays, including Micah Parsons passing Gary in pursuit “like a NASCAR driver.” 🔥 Bears Chaos: “They just can’t have nice things.” Wilde absolutely unloads on the Chicago Bears’ spectacular incompetence: Releasing a relocation letter during a division-title chase Moving from Soldier Field to Northwest Indiana A franchise that “creates problems nobody asked for” Wilde: “What must it be like to be a Bears fan?” 🔥 Who’s Likely to Play Saturday? Wilde ranks the Packers’ injury situations most to least likely to suit up: Josh Jacobs — likely (“Clifton/Woodson plan”) Christian Watson — probably (sternum, but flew home) Zach Tom — maybe Evan Williams — unlikely (“not close”) He also details Jacobs’ knee swelling, why he can’t practice, and why the team must manage his workload. 🔥 Jeff Hafley’s Future: Should Packers Fans Worry? Wilde notes: Hafley subtly references head coaching experience The Giants job could lure him instantly Some jobs (Tennessee) are so unstable he’d be wise to avoid Packers fans may need a “Ben Johnson prayer” to keep him another year 🔥 Rashid Walker’s Rough Game Wilde shares a hilarious (and horrifying) detail: Rashid Walker was naked, eating lunch under a towel, so Wilde did not approach him… but says he WILL ask about effort and technique when the moment is right. 🎧 A lively, sharp, brutally honest breakdown of Packers accountability, injuries, coaching futures, and Bears absurdity — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy on a grim NFL morning — one where Micah Parsons and Patrick Mahomes were both lost to ACL injuries within hours of each other. Schefter describes the exact moment he saw the Parsons replay: “Oh my God… this guy just tore his ACL. You knew it immediately.” He details how rare and destabilizing it is for the league to have two of its biggest superstars go down in the same afternoon, calling it a “dark day” for the NFL that overshadowed every win, upset, and playoff storyline. The conversation then shifts to the NFL’s escalating injury epidemic: 309 players placed on IR through Week 15 2023 total at this point: 274 Trending toward one of the highest totals in league history Schefter is candid about the league’s expectations for expanding the season: Will injuries stop the NFL from adding an 18th game? Schefter’s answer: almost certainly no. He explains that owners will offer: Two bye weeks Significant additional compensation Contract adjustments written into the next CBA …making it difficult for players to resist, even with injury concerns at an all-time high. Other Schefter insights include: Why Devontae Adams is unlikely to play Thursday after tweaking his hamstring Why Josh Allen has the “easiest and hardest” Super Bowl path simultaneously Which teams Schefter believes are legitimate AFC threats Why Alan Lazard still has a chance to land somewhere useful The surprising head-coach candidates emerging at Michigan Finally, Schefter shares a surprisingly relatable detail: His Christmas tradition? “Always work. Thirty-five years. Christmas, New Year’s… always work.” 🎧 A sharp, honest, national perspective on the NFL’s most turbulent injury weekend — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
