As Packers–Bears approaches, Jen, Gabe & Chewy dig into why this matchup feels like a true chess match rather than a shootout. With injuries mounting on both sides, the discussion centers on how defensive coordinators can finally get aggressive — and why the absence of true deep threats changes everything. The crew breaks down: 🔍 Why the Bears’ passing game doesn’t scare defenses With Adunze and Burden ruled out, Chicago lacks a true vertical threat. That allows Green Bay to: Bring a safety down into the box Focus on stopping the run Force Caleb Williams to win underneath Despite that, the Bears’ offensive line and run game remain legitimate concerns — and the biggest thing that scared the Packers last time still applies. 🔍 Jeff Hafley’s biggest test With no Micah Parsons, Hafley must generate pressure creatively. The discussion focuses on: Kingsley Enagbare’s importance Whether Rashan Gary and LVN can handle increased snaps Why blitzing may be unavoidable This is viewed as a “prove-it” game for a coordinator with head-coaching buzz. 🔍 The injury-report games The crew debates why teams rule players out early vs. playing the “questionable” game: Why the Bears ruling players out early isn’t arrogance How the NFL punishes teams for manipulating injury designations Why draft picks matter more than fines They also break down how betting lines actually move — and why a 1.5-point spread essentially means a pick’em, regardless of which team is favored. 🔍 Why Vegas sees this game as dead even Despite all the injuries: Neither team has a clear matchup advantage Both offenses rely heavily on the run Both defenses have exploitable weaknesses The hosts agree this game likely comes down to: Turnovers Red-zone execution Which team handles pressure better Plus: classic Jen, Gabe & Chewy chaos — debates about curmudgeons, made-up definitions, household power dynamics, restaurant decision-making, and running up the score in The Week in ReChew. 🎧 Smart football talk, rivalry tension, and Wisconsin morning banter — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
