KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Wow What do you think of that?
AngryMike: I'll tell you what, that's a that's a nice new setting or a nice new intro there.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Huh? huh Yeah. Yeah.
AngryMike: it Sounds professional. I like it.
N D: It ramps it up to...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Got it.
N D: This. Here we go, right?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: here There you go. Hey! The only... I like that. We are the only... NFC North podcast that's really worth listening to. So.
N D: Yeah.
AngryMike: Well, yeah, the ending part of it. I know i know there's another one.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah yeah Wow.
AngryMike: But um but yeah yeah, worth listening to is probably the key, right?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: The key, the key. So. Ah. Pretty. Pretty good discussion before we even went on the air today, so... mike you take it away you're ready man you're ready to go Yeah, for sure.
N D: Yeah, we should have hit the record button about 10 minutes ago.
AngryMike: Yeah, I tell you what, we had we had a couple exciting games. on Sunday, and and some were exciting for the wrong reasons, but... um First off, Green Bay pulling a win out for the first time since the first meeting with the Bears on December 7th.
AngryMike: I heard somebody this morning, I could have gotten my wife pregnant and the baby would be two weeks old by the time Green Bay had a win between their last win and this one.
N D: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: ah
AngryMike: so um You could have had a whole child in that. in that distance between these wins, but it feels good. Green Bay didn't play very well, but it's it's good that they got a win. And then.
AngryMike: The Bears yesterday, I've never seen an implosion quite like this. I thought Green Bay crashed hard after losing. ah to the Vikings, but man, Caleb going out.
AngryMike: And all the Bears fans were in their feels yesterday. Man, I got so much shit on. or crap, I should say, on...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: How are you?
AngryMike: On X for for posting, can we talk about injuries now?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: Man, I got some vile stuff coming my way, but I'm i'm glad he i'm glad he he's healthy.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: But then also the mocking is starting because, because man, you have a grade one sprain and you go thumbs up like you just were paralyzed like Mike Utley in 91 with the Lions.
AngryMike: over dramatic syndrome or over dramatic theater there so i'm i'm interested to hear some of the takes you guys have on that because man he's getting punked right now on x for
N D: Yeah.
AngryMike: for that.
N D: It was pretty bad. I mean, being a Bears fan, seeing him go down and out, I mean. My stomach sunk. And I can't imagine.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: the ones that were in the stadium And. ah i Like I told Chad and I told the buddy earlier, I'm like, I was pissed for about 20 minutes after the game. And then I thought to myself, all right, all right.
AngryMike: Oh yeah.
N D: They're one and one. We started off 0 -2. We're going to be fine. if If he's out. Because I think they kind of ruled out Achilles or anything kind of right away. Um, I think.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: Thinking with... Tyson Bajent coming in. I think he runs that offense good. You talked about it. We talked about it a few weeks ago. Um, I think the bears are going to be fine because of their run game because of.
N D: Bajent knowing the system. And Ben Johnson playing, you know. Colin plays for him. Yeah, they're they're not a Caleb Williams run offense, but.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: See, you keep...
N D: I don't know
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You keep talking about the run game, Nolan. I didn't see it yesterday. I i just don't. I don't know. I don't know if Swift's your answer.
N D: Well, did you flip during commercials and didn't come back until we were on the one yard line or what?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Bye.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: ah
AngryMike: Ha ha!
N D: I mean... We got down to the one. I mean, I'll tell you this. Okay. If. If they score, I get it. You're going to say that, but. When you miss out on. A touchdown at the one yard line.
N D: Yeah, I'll give the punch out to the defense. Awesome. Swift does not. fumble very often. You've got a play call to your. Your rookie tight end.
N D: Who drops it? Got hit by the helmet. All right, I get it. Why don't you throw it to Commander Loveland? You have Caleb Williams down near the 10 -yard line. We're scoring that trip down.
N D: I don't know. i'm not I'm not sold on the Vikings at all. Vikings are still in the bottom of the... Division to me, offensively, not defensively. But offensively, they're not going to win very many games if Carson Wentz is that. is that quarterback.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, and Carson Wentz is... going to be, this was his last game unless Murray gets hurt again. but Nolan, I... Obviously, i'm I'm a little biased towards the Vikings, but I think.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: The defense had him rattled. That's just what I saw. and Mike, i would I'd be interested to see what you'd say. and i I know you were probably watching the Green Bay game at the time, but what did you see?
N D: Well.
N D: But before you answer, before you answer, Mike.
AngryMike: Yeah, I
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
AngryMike: Yeah. Yep. Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: i get I get Caleb was... Probably a little rattled. But I think it was more on the lines of. Mr. Eagle on the sidelines, Ben Johnson. I think Ben Johnson, that there was talk all week. Johnson versus Flores. Here we go.
N D: And some of the... We ran one screen pass all day against a blitzing defense. To me. I don't know. I think I run a hell of a lot more screen passes to eliminate.
N D: All these blitzes coming at you.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, but Nolan, these guys are professionals. they you run a script They're going to catch up. I hate it. Yes. All right. Anyways, Mike, what do you think? What do you think? I'm going to go.
AngryMike: and I...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Because...
N D: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Nolan and I will argue the whole time. And then we... Then we won't talk for 20 minutes.
AngryMike: So...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: and
AngryMike: Yeah, so so i have ah I have a different perspective, obviously. just They. we played the Vikings like Green Bay played the Vikings last week right and and they had them dead to rights for three quarters of that game.
AngryMike: And. The Vikings are what they are, right? You're not going to have elite quarterback play. They have elite weapons, though, I think. I mean, even Aaron Jones, I mean. Aaron Jones usually takes it to the Bears, to be honest with you. And he had 100 yards. I mean, if Aaron Jones has 100 yards, I don't know when the last time he had 100 yards. But.
AngryMike: you b but You don't... Face teams that blitz 70 % of the time. You know, and and that's what the Bears faced yesterday. And I think it did throw them off a little bit. But I think like Green Bay and like the Bears, I think they're both better than the Vikings. It's just the Vikings play pretty mistake -proof. You know, they have really good defense. Their special teams are pretty solid. Their offense. isn't turning the ball over. i That's how they won last year.
AngryMike: They didn't have a quarterback last year and still finished, what, nine and eight. I i think they are who they are.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: 9 and 8.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yep
AngryMike: self implode you're gonna lose to them and that's exactly what happened to both teams
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. Yep. yeah And I would say the defense is pretty legit. i i don't think you there's there's i mean they are they have it aaron jones first time and since 2024 he ran for 100 yards and
AngryMike: Oh, 100%.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: He was out with a knee injury for a while and he came back and... scampered that, what, 15 -yard run.
AngryMike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: so
N D: Was he really hurt, though? I mean come on.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well... I don't know.
N D: I mean...
AngryMike: ah did he did he thumbp Did he thumbs up when he got hurt?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, let me...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: Yeah, i don't I don't know.
AngryMike: I don't know.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah
AngryMike: That did that just shows how it hurt you are.
N D: He walked off like he was done for the game, Chad.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh, I know it.
N D: I don't know. And he comes back.
AngryMike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I know it. Yeah, he came back.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You know, I've had it.
N D: Give him a shot in the knee. I get it.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Do you want me to, yeah you know, I've had a great, well. Thankfully, Caleb is only a grade one.
AngryMike: Yeah. Yeah, i should have I should have started with that.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Thankfully that. We don't want him to be hurt.
AngryMike: Like like my first my first three posts were like, I hope nothing's wrong with Caleb.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
AngryMike: because i'm going to week five at lambo and i want to see caleb williams and i want to see i want to see the stars that are there right and if green bay wins i don't want it to be like the packer fans last year when you got malik willis hey just ignore malik willis had like a perfect quarterback rating and was awesome in those, that game against the bears, but we'll still blame love wasn't playing, you know, and all this stuff, but.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. right
AngryMike: I don't want any excuses. i want i And i want ah I want stars in the NFL to play because it's a better product. And I would never wish harm on anybody.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh yeah.
N D: Yep.
AngryMike: Did I have a little tongue in cheek? Absolutely. but that's the fun of being on x until you post something like that and get
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, yeah
AngryMike: The crap I got, but.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: It was, I mean. It is what it is now that it's almost funnier that he isn't hurt because he made it look like.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Like...
N D: Yeah.
AngryMike: You know, he was getting carried off like someone amputated his leg on the field.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Wow.
AngryMike: I mean, it. Now it's just the joking part. And I'm glad for Bears fans, they just have to eat a little crow for that.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: right
AngryMike: And they actually don't have to worry about their quarterback being out long term.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: Because I would hate to see that for any.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. right
AngryMike: really any fan of any team. so
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And I thought, and I told Nolan this, I thought that his knee went kaput. just the way he slid, I was like, oh man, you know, and you don't want it to happen.
AngryMike: Oh yeah. Yep. Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You want, you want, like you said, you want the stars to play, but.
AngryMike: Yeah, i saw it I saw a video today of Jordy Nelson tearing his ACL in a game, and he literally just got up and...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah
AngryMike: and walk and you know just hobbled off a little bit.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, well, like I...
AngryMike: And it's like he didn't get carried by two guys onto a cart with a thumbs up, but the towel over the head and and going out to the tunnel. And, you know, it it was just very, very dramatic for what the end result ended up being.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. Yeah, well, Nolan had two points, but I'm going to give mine first. And so I had a grade one strain playing church league softball. I went and had a beer and I got back out there and I started playing.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: But... Nolan said, Nolan, you want to talk about what you thought about why they carded? Caleb Williams off.
N D: Well... I'm thinking. As the Ryan pulls and all them are looking on, if a trainer lets him walk back. And it is a serious, serious injury.
N D: that's probably not a good thing. So I'm thinking they put them on the cart. But yeah, I get... Probably the towel didn't need to be over the head.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: and pulled off as he was leaving with the thumbs up. Like, I mean, teary -eyed i you know yeah a lot of over dramatization there i get that
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: But...
AngryMike: But let's let's not lose the fact, though. That was a really good win for the Vikings. I mean, Caleb Banks looked like an actual player. I mean, he he gave it to Joe Tooney on one of those run stuffs.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: I mean, he... He actually looked like a decent player, but... Man. Brian Flores, sometimes you just got to give him props and and hopefully we can get him the next time we play him.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: He's... Yeah.
AngryMike: But man, he he is a demon and he does everything different than any other.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Please.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: He was pretty.
N D: I'm going to...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: He was.
AngryMike: DC.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: He was excited coming off the field yesterday. I don't know if you guys saw that or not, but he was pretty jacked. So.
N D: Well, I'm going to offer up Bradbury back to the Vikings. he They can have him back anytime.
AngryMike: Oh, yeah, he was so bad.
N D: Jesus.
AngryMike: You know, and and I brought up the fact that.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: You know, Bears fans were talking about. their offensive line and i agree their offensive line is still very very good But they downplayed Dahlman being out. and they Well, we got Bradbury. We got Logan Jones from Iowa, who I love, by the way.
AngryMike: Um, we're gonna be fine and and for the most part they are until you face a blitz that's coming at you seventy percent of the time you know that's gonna confuse anybody
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: right
AngryMike: until you see it and and have to face it again. but um Green Bay line looks a lot better. you know just because they weren't being blitzed 70 of the time it's amazing how that works
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. Right. Right. So ah let's just say that. Ben Johnson got Flores yesterday, and we'll what we'll call it at that. um
N D: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: And I'm not going to give Nolan too much guff, just like I didn't give it to you last week, Mike, because there's another game.
AngryMike: No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: There's another game coming up. and paybacks are hell so i always wait but now if
AngryMike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: If the Vikings win. The next two, then I'm going to give it to y 'all, but i don't I don't see that happening.
N D: Well, you know I was looking at the schedule, Chad. And you've got...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: Two winnable ballgames. You've got Buccaneers.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
N D: And you've got the dolphins. tu vert you get You guys could be sitting at 4 -0, but all of a sudden, here come the Saints.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yes.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: Here come the Colts who played well.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: You've got Lions. bills. Packers, 49ers. All back to back to back to back to back.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh, yeah. It's...
N D: it's a It's a gauntlet, it seems like.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: It...
N D: For the Vikings coming up.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I agree. it It'll be... theyll I don't know. I don't want to. Week by week. I want to see what Kyler does with this team next week against the Bucs. And.
AngryMike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I think with... With the way the defense is playing, I think we're we're going to be ah we're goingnna be in a lot of games. Are we going to win every game? No. Do I still think the Vikings are going to make the Super Bowl? No. Do I still think?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Forgive me for saying this, but I still think the Lions are probably the best team. in in the NFC North. And I just think they have a better better offense than the rest of us. but You know they played
AngryMike: Well... i think I still like the Bears' offense better, to be honest with you, just because their offensive line is so much better, I think, than the Lions'.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: All right.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
AngryMike: But the Bears' defense, i I've said it before, they're not great at all. and The Lions defense is really bad too. I think... the best defense
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
AngryMike: is the Vikings. And Green Bay is actually playing really, really well on defense. They played great yesterday. A lot of guys breaking out. um i This is going to be But Green Bay can't score like they used to score. You know, I just think this.
AngryMike: all these teams could end up. 10 and... 10 and 7 or 9 and 8.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: Yeah, it's the old NFC North again.
AngryMike: I mean, all four of them.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: and and we're
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
AngryMike: Yeah. yeah we're gonna work
N D: Because everyone's like, well, you lost 9 -3. It's like... Weather. All this stuff, but... and NFC North rivalry.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: I mean.
AngryMike: Yeah.
N D: There's times when there's a team that is 30 points better. And it ends up being six to three in it and they're like.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: What?
N D: you know.
AngryMike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. I mean, Nolan, I bet.
N D: I mean, Chad and I went to, we went to a game.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: we you Were you going to bring that up, Chad?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: All right, you go ahead.
N D: We went to this a great game, got us some great seats in the end zone. I'm like, we're going to see touchdown after touchdown down here.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: And I think we saw three field goals on one end, one field goal on the other.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: and
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: bear Bears won 12 -10 over Dobbs.
AngryMike: Oh my God.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, it was
AngryMike: Dude, I want to...
N D: And Justin Fields.
AngryMike: i 1999, I went to a Bears. Eagles game. Or a Packers -Eagles game. Take that back. I didn't go to the Bears. Packers -Eagles game. And it was... Donovan McNabb's first game.
AngryMike: And the Eagles were the worst team in the league. And Green Bay won 6 -3.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: ah
AngryMike: And they won it in overtime.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: oh man
N D: Ugh.
AngryMike: It was the worst game I've ever watched in my life.
N D: Okay.
AngryMike: And it was so bad. So I can totally understand it.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: What was it?
AngryMike: Oh my God, it was bad.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah
N D: Well, you're not guaranteed.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Was it?
N D: buying a ticket that you're going to see a good football game. so
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
AngryMike: the Yeah, 100%.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: right
N D: I mean...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. Yeah.
N D: Defensively, yeah you did.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: But. for 95 % of the people in the stadium.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: It's... See you at that game. Yeah. That game we went to, Nolan.
N D: they're You're looking for touchdowns.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, that game we went to, it wasn't very good defensive either. It was just sloppy play on both sides.
N D: It was, there was fumbles and yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah Yeah, it was just crazy.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: It was crazy.
AngryMike: Yeah, so when people... So when people said, of course, for me, I didn't know the weather when I picked my. pick my teams last week but Um, you know bad weather is a talent neutralizer and you you saw it in The the Jets versus the Packers, I mean...
AngryMike: And then with the Bears and the Vikings, like people saying the Packers were going to blow out the Jets. I'm like, ah yeah, right. But. First off, I don't remember the last time Green Bay blew out anybody. And second of all, it's going to rain. The ball's going to get slick. You know, it's going to slow things down. And the same thing happened in Chicago. It slowed down.
AngryMike: The passing teams or the offense is at a disadvantage when the weather's that bad. So I think we saw a little bit of that yesterday too.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Agree with that. yep I agree with that. so But are the Jets as bad as... what they've been. I mean, or does Glenn got him playing a little bit better?
N D: All right.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i didn't I didn't get to see any of the games.
AngryMike: So...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: so
AngryMike: Yeah, so the so the positive parts. I see for Green Bay. The offensive line was a little bit better. But the Jets aren't as good as the Vikings. But Green Bay's defense, I mean, Lucas Van Ness, you want to talk about a breakout. I mean, he's got two and a half sacks in two games.
AngryMike: <unk>s I think he's got six or seven tackles for a loss. I mean, he was amazing yesterday. And he's a fourth -year guy, but he's still only 24, 25 years old. He broke out yesterday, and that Jets offensive line is actually really, really good.
AngryMike: so
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
AngryMike: The fact that they were able to get pressure and... Edger and Cooper has two sacks this year. I mean, just a lot of breakout players on defense and they get Parsons back, hopefully in week five against the.
AngryMike: against the Bears. So the offense. Matt LaFleur classic, man. he He came in thinking his offensive line couldn't protect without. even trying first, through a screen to...
AngryMike: Well, actually, I think he attempted a screen and Love ended up getting... you know, tackled behind the line of scrimmage on the first play of the game.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Hey.
AngryMike: Just so conservative, you know, trying and not to lose.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: and And then towards the end, they they came out and got a win. And I'll be honest with you, it's been so long, like I said. I was just happy they won. I didn't care how it looked. and Losing.
AngryMike: You know, Zach Tom, Zach Baccavole, and then turn around losing Jaden Reed. I mean, all in the first five snaps.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah
AngryMike: I mean, knew it had the it had the looks of... a loss and they came and got the win. So I think that helps the confidence of that team quite a bit.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: go There you go. Well. That's kind of how I feel about Dallas Turner. I think he's turned the corner here and I think the Vikings.
AngryMike: Oh yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I think he's... He's going to be the real deal.
AngryMike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: He's he's pretty good. And Caleb Banks. Jury's still out, but we'll... we'll ah We'll walk down that street once we get, yeah.
AngryMike: He's young. He's young. And.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: young.
AngryMike: and and then And this is the thing too that I want to mention to some Bears fans. Not all your rookies are going to be Luther Burden. Colston Loveland. And Kyle Monongai. Not all of them break out.
AngryMike: Year one, sometimes it takes two or three seasons for a guy to break out because I'm looking at Lucas Van Ness, you know, in year four is finally. showing what he can do. you know ah Anthony Belton looked great yesterday for Green Bay. Jordan Morgan played well.
AngryMike: Matthew. Matthew Golden, the golden boy of being called a bust. is 15th in the league right now in yards in the NFL.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: he's He's having a good year. You know, and sometimes guys just don't produce right away. But, man, Sam Roush, I saw that block, by the way, on that kick. It was terrible.
N D: Yeah, though.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i
AngryMike: Doesn't mean he's a bust.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: He's in game two.
N D: No.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh. I still missed. ah I tried to find the video of those two bears. try to block each other against the Vikings a few years back.
AngryMike: Oh yeah. Yep.
N D: That was AI generated.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I just... Whatever.
N D: yeah I think there's stuff out there on Minnesota linemen too, so don't be...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I don't know. I don't. I'm just, hey, we're dogging the Bears today, man.
N D: Yeah. I know. I know.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: they They did not look...
AngryMike: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: They did not look good yesterday. But I will tell you this.
AngryMike: I'm...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i will I'm very happy that Caleb Jones did not. or Caleb Jones.
N D: Check.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Frickin Caleb Williams did not. get hurt.
AngryMike: Yes, yeah i am I am too.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: badly. I'm...
AngryMike: I'll say that again on the pod. I am happy Caleb Williams is not hurt and I never wanted him to be hurt or seriously injured.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Neither did I. Nobody wants that.
AngryMike: But... But man. It just shows right now how fragile the Bears fan base is. from being. Cocky, cocky, cocky 59 points to losing 9 -3, and now all of a sudden you're the worst team in the league.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: We're on our way. i Yeah. yeahp
AngryMike: I tell you what. just take some Take some antidepressants. Take some... smoke some weed do whatever you have to do to chill out a little bit it's in week two
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: And. I think the Pats started 0 -2 last year and made the Super Bowl. Things are going to be okay. Just...
N D: Yep.
AngryMike: Just let's get through another week together.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: It will be. It will be. but So it... No, and I wanted you to... Talk about, you had you and I talked before Mike got on. about how you feel like. whose's offense Rank your offense in the NFC North.
N D: All right. I had this, you kind of laughed at it, but I have Chicago one, Detroit two, Green Bay three, Minnesota four.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I don't. I don't have... problems with that.
N D: Well, you didn't like that I had Chicago. You said you liked Detroit more.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, there is that's my opinion. That's my opinion.
N D: Yep, oh yeah, I get it.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Bye Keith. Mike, you? off on that on with that
AngryMike: No, i actually I actually agree with it. I i i think the offensive line in the run game for the Bears. are so is still elite i mean one bad rain game doesn't prove anything to me
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: And I'm going off last year. as well. And. I don't trust the Lions offensive line. I still think it kind of sucks. Jameer Gibbs makes that offensive line look a lot better than what it is.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: And they have a ton of weapons on offense, but i I'd still... You know, I think i think the Bears are the top.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: All right.
N D: So right now I'll go. you guys i'll have chad answer this or whoever mike you can answer it There's... The Bears are sitting fourth in scoring in the NFL.
AngryMike: Yeah.
N D: Can you name the Three above them.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, I would say in the
AngryMike: Oh my god.
N D: Besides Buffalo. Buffalo is obviously the obvious.
AngryMike: probably Probably. Probably Carolina.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Carolina, Kansas City and Buffalo.
N D: Yes. Yep.
AngryMike: Yeah.
N D: There it is. And then Chicago.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
N D: Yep.
AngryMike: Yeah, Carolina's the biggest, I mean.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yep
AngryMike: That's what I mean by overreaction. you know Oh, the Bears' defense is shit. I honestly think of it it's not great.
N D: Yeah.
AngryMike: But Carolina's a good offense, man.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, yeah
AngryMike: And then, and then you know, the Bears scored 59 on their defense. Their defense isn't that bad either. So, I mean, they were a playoff team last year. I mean, that's not a fluky win, especially in Carolina.
AngryMike: So you got to take it. You can't take it week by week. You got to kind of look at it broadly. and You know, we can get into Tyson Bajan, too. I think he's going to be a decent quarterback. And, you know, we just we just can't overreact.
AngryMike: I mean, even though it's that's the fun part of being a fan.
N D: right
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, that we can. That's why we're here.
AngryMike: Oh, yeah. yeah Well, 100%.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Wait, what?
AngryMike: Oh, 100%.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: It makes for good good pods. but
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: But yeah, I mean... just from so cocky to so... We're screwed. and and Just to... An hour span, I mean.
N D: And yeah it it happens.
AngryMike: Packer fans are like that too.
N D: I mean...
AngryMike: All of us are really, but it's called being passionate.
N D: Oh yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Also our biking fans.
AngryMike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So are Viking fans.
N D: But if you score.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: They're the same way.
N D: If you score 59, yeah, you're going to walk in with a swagger in the Minnesota or in the Chicago going, come on, Minnesota.
AngryMike: Yep. Yep.
N D: We're going to put 40 up on you. Everybody thought it. And.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: Yeah, it didn't happen.
AngryMike: Oh yeah.
N D: With the rain, with the the field conditions, the field that... Soldier Field has been horrible. since the 80s. So there's no surprise that that turf is is garbage.
AngryMike: Oh yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
AngryMike: Yep.
N D: so
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So do they get a dome? Do they want a dome? Or do they want to keep playing in the garbage, the garbage soil?
N D: Well. But then you get the idiots out there that go, Bears would have won that game if it had been in Hammond. It's like, Jesus Christ, really?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: um
N D: You know. It's like, no, no, let's not get to that point.
AngryMike: Who would have...
N D: I like the outdoor stuff. I like the outdoor fields. I don't think I want to see Green Bay. the only outdoor field in the north. I just think it would be
AngryMike: Yeah.
N D: It would be awful odd to have three domes. And then all of a sudden you go out. two days and and play in the cold. So.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah Right.
AngryMike: yeah You know, and I might be biased too. I mean, Green Bay is outside. green bay's turf always looks really really good i i know they have like that turf master you know where they have synthetic fibers mixed in with their like actual grass. And it it it always seems to hold up. I don't know if that's just me being biased about it, but it just seems like soldier field gets ripped up a lot more than Lambo does.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: I don't know why but...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, I think Soldiers Field has a little bit more things going on, though, too, right? than just football. Does Lambo.
AngryMike: Yeah, they got... well they have concerts but i mean lambo lambo started to do more of that too i think they had the
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: They'll have. They have cops and all that stuff.
N D: Oh yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Have it, okay. Okay.
AngryMike: They had the Badgers there, I think, last week against Notre Dame, and then I think they have some concerts there now.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, yeah.
AngryMike: I think Luke Combs was there a month ago. but um
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I remembered.
N D: U .S. Bank still has to change the color of their seats, though. That purple is horrible.
AngryMike: Oh my God. You know, I went to us bank once and I was in the upper bowl and they had like a glass, like at the end of their aisles, they have like glass. And I sat like in a seat where like the top of my eye was like above the glass and my bottom, my eye was on the bottom and I had to either look up or down the entire game.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: ah
N D: ah
AngryMike: I'm like, man, what a design flaw on that.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right. right Alright. U .S. Bank's a pretty good stadium.
AngryMike: Oh, it's it's beautiful.

KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's right.
N D: Hey, I do want to give kudos out to ah a fellow broadcaster.
AngryMike: Um,
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's right
N D: Tom Brady did a hell of a job during the game yesterday.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh, yeah.
N D: I don't know if you...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Dropped a couple.
N D: Did you see on X the...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I know.
N D: ah when jayden daniels dislocated this his elbow
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh.
AngryMike: and No.
N D: The first thing out of Tom Brady's mouth was, oh, shit. He goes, oh, I mean, I'm sorry.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: ah
N D: And then he said Dak Prescott threw a piss missile. right in the middle of broadcast i'm like yeah god i wish i could say that on my broadcast but yeah
AngryMike: Oh god.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, you just did.
N D: What?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Or, like, what? Yeah.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: when you're doing football games. So.
N D: But how about Pat McAfee?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: How many?
N D: Is he going to keep his job after?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i He...
N D: Smoking on set.
AngryMike: oh i'm sure it's all about money you know is is he making a money or not you know
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
N D: ah Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, if If ESPN wants, we're available, right? If they get rid of McAfee, we could do this full -time, couldn't we?
N D: There you go. There you go
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Five days a week?
N D: You know what? We did rank the top five four offenses. I'll let you guys rank the North defenses real quick.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Oh, geez. Well, I'd put Vikings 1.
N D: Obviously Minnesota first, yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep, I'd put Vikings 1. I'd probably... Maybe. Green Bay 2, Chicago 3, Lions 4. I guess I'd... That would be my...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Take...
AngryMike: Oh, for me, for me i I think...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: you know i don't think green I think people are sleeping on the Packers. i I think the Vikings are the number one defense in the North. I think Green Bay is the clear number two. and then I think the Bears are probably three and the Lions are probably four at this point.
AngryMike: but The thing with the Lions is they they could get Bryant Branch back, and I think that makes a big difference for their pass defense. The Bears aren't getting anybody back. so i
N D: No.
AngryMike: And you want to talk about regression of turnovers. I think the Bears are like zero right now through two games. so um
N D: Well, I had two the first week. We had and two interceptions.
AngryMike: Yeah, and then they lost two yesterday. So it's it's their their turnover.
N D: Oh, I gotcha. Okay.
AngryMike: Yeah, they're over or under a zero.
N D: Yep. Oh, did the ratio.
AngryMike: so
N D: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
N D: Yep.
AngryMike: Yeah. and i think last year there were plus 22 or something like that so um
N D: Yep.
AngryMike: that's just regression it it just it's luck you know some of it so you know i did But I think the Lions have the ability to get better. I don't think the Bears do, to be honest with you.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah, well
N D: Well let's hope you're wrong Mike.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: Well, i I've just seen so much of it.
N D: Yeah.
AngryMike: I think, well, Kyler Gordon came back, but I remember at the beginning of the year, I ran a contest. It was the... ah I think it was this the soft tissue contest. Who would play more games, Marshawn Lloyd or Kyler Gordon?
N D: yeah
AngryMike: I had out there. so um
N D: ah Lloyd's winning so far.
AngryMike: you know Lloyd's two for two. Yeah, he looks he looks pretty decent.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yep.
AngryMike: But. um But yeah, I... I think we don't know any more now than what we knew. Two weeks ago. I i think the the teams that you think are good are going to be good and the teams that are bad are going to be bad. I just think it has to kind of play out a little bit. I think the Vikings were opportunistic there for.
AngryMike: a little bit. um but
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Hey It was ugly, but you take a win when you can get a win, especially against a division opponent.
AngryMike: You know what? it when
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: you know.
AngryMike: Yep. yep a win you know a win in the the win column is It doesn't matter how you get it, you got it. Right.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's right.
AngryMike: So when ugly.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's right.
N D: Well, and Packers turn around right away.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: it's better than It's better than looking good losing.
N D: They turned around on Thursday already with another game.
AngryMike: Yeah, they do.
N D: The falcons.
AngryMike: um I'm actually excited for that game. i Was hoping we'd get Cooper Rush one more time because I think the Falcons are the first team. in NFL history to go through two games without being in the red zone once.
N D: Cool.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Wow.
AngryMike: So. if they can If they can continue that, I would like that a lot.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
AngryMike: Um, Because B. John Robinson's just a stud. I just don't think they have a quarterback that can get the ball to the weapons that they have.
N D: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah
AngryMike: but i've been fooled before right you know green bay lost in atlanta a couple years ago and
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: i
AngryMike: you know I've seen some weird stuff happen, so I'm not confident.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: There's some...
AngryMike: You know, I'm confident they'll win, but i'm not yeah I'm not going to say a blowout or anything.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. There's some internal... scruff with the with the Falcons right now, too. even Drake London yesterday after the game was yelling at fans. And it's just like, come on, buddy.
AngryMike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Just...
AngryMike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Just go to the locker room. Get out of there. Get out of there as quick as you can. Don't fight with the fans. So.
AngryMike: Yeah, the fans have a lot less to lose than he does. so you you kind of hope with maturity he'd just kind of walk that off but i mean people are gonna say vile stuff they do it all the time i mean
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Right.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. All right. Right. Well, Nolan and I's favorite is...
AngryMike: Bye.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: when the Vikings fan just... Tells Roger Goodell to go. You know what?
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Many, many times.
N D: yeah Roger!
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: and We love that.
AngryMike: remember when Remember when Roger Goodell did that draft from his basement during COVID and it's like, man, this looks like my grandpa's basement.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. Yeah.
AngryMike: You think a guy making $50 million dollars a year would have a better setup than just.
N D: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: or than whatever that was.
AngryMike: Well, oh Oak counters behind him and Oak...
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. Yeah.
AngryMike: oak cabinets.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Sorry.
AngryMike: It was it was bizarre.
N D: Hell of a retirement, I guess.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: All right.
AngryMike: Yeah.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: So who's in bigger trouble, the Chargers or the Texans? Let's go out on that one, and then we got to... One of us has to get to a meeting. Saw. I know.
N D: I think Chargers are.
AngryMike: ah
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Ha ha.
N D: I think Texans will be fine.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: You do?
N D: if they get healthy If they get healthy, I think they'll be fine.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
AngryMike: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Okay.
AngryMike: Yeah, I agree. i think i think that I think the chargers are cooked. i i said it last I said it last week. I'll say it this week.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: yeah yeah
AngryMike: Justin Herbert does not get the heat he deserves. Everyone thinks he's an elite quarterback, and he wins nothing ever. And he looked bad yesterday again.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: He did. He was.
AngryMike: he's not a leader He's not a leader at at the quarterback spot.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: he looked
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Well, he had some weapons. when he first came out, and now he doesn't. And so that's it's really starting to show. So. um We'll have to see. but All right, so we are... Going to run Thursday as well, right, fellas?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: We'll give our...
N D: Yeah, we'll talk games.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: weekly pitch.
N D: and

N D: ah Had a good week.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. But...
N D: and And I'm going to end.
AngryMike: Well, you know
N D: I'm going to end my podcast part of it by saying the Vikings are the worst 2 -0 team in the league. Is that fair enough?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: you can You can totally say that.
N D: But at least they're 2 -0, right?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: That's right.
AngryMike: That's right. That's right. I'd rather be the worst 2 -0 team than the best 0 -2 team, right?
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Yeah. Yeah. There you go.
N D: Yep.
KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: Any final thoughts, Mike?
AngryMike: No, I liked it. Yeah, i I liked and I think People are going to like the format. i I really like talking like instant reaction after the games on Sunday, and it kind of gives us a feel of how things are. And then and then Thursday we'll prep before.
AngryMike: you know the game uh that night and then the weekend and and we hope everybody likes listening um to us because what we are is we're real fans right and and we and we have the emotions of real fans so um give it give us a follow and uh You know?

You think you're going to win it all or you have a good chance of going to the Super Bowl this year. And then, like, all your optimism, like, drains out of your body.

KTS with Decker, Dix and Angry Mike: I would not.
