This episode lives in that space where belief and frustration collide, and why “almost” still matters when judging quarterbacks under playoff pressure.

A serial killer is not something you expect to hear mentioned alongside a Packers fact. The NFL Draft used to have more than 17 rounds. At one point, it went all the way up to 32. But the craziest part is not the length of the draft. It is who the Packers selected in the 1974 17th round. That pick was Randall Woodfield, later known as the I-5 serial killer. It is one of the darkest footnotes in NFL draft history. Our laughter is not amusement. It is an uncomfortable reaction to the fact that this dark footnote even exists. And we are relieved knowing Woodfield is behind bars for life, where he belongs.

The same moments are viewed very differently depending on which side of the rivalry you stand on. One perspective sees signs of composure. The other sees unanswered questions.What starts as analysis quickly becomes a rivalry driven debate about Jordan Love, pressure moments, and whether he is truly clutch, especially when compared to how Bears fans view Caleb Williams, and how this playoff loss will be remembered moving forward.This is Part Two of the conversation.

A playoff comeback for the ages and a debate that turned contentious. The Bears erased a massive deficit in a Wild Card showdown that flipped the rivalry on its head.
