Bears or Rams? Has Ben Johnson gone too far in ripping Packers? A Divided Fanbase Weighs In
The Chicago Bears are set to face off against the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional playoff round, and fans are divided on whether they'll emerge victorious. The Bears were listed as 3½-point underdogs heading into the game, with some confident that they'll come out on top.
While many believe the home crowd will be a significant advantage for the Bears, others think weather conditions could play a role in the outcome. However, one issue is proving to be a contentious topic among fans: coach Ben Johnson's profanity-laced comments about rival team, the Green Bay Packers.
Johnson's remarks have sparked debate among Bears supporters, with some defending his right to express himself and others calling for him to apologize for his language. A closer look at social media reveals that while some fans are unapologetic about Johnson's outburst, others are urging caution and calling on him to refrain from further disparagement.
On Twitter, @RonaldVoigt4 believes the Bears "have been a team of destiny all season," suggesting they should continue their winning streak. In contrast, @JBIRD1268 notes that something unexpected might happen in cold weather conditions. Meanwhile, coach Johnson's comments have also sparked concerns about his professionalism and sportsmanship.
As the game approaches, fans will be eagerly awaiting to see how these predictions play out. Will the Bears' confidence translate into success on the field? And what will happen if coach Johnson is asked about his remarks after the game?
Only time will tell whether the Bears can overcome their underdog status or if Ben Johnson's comments have already sealed their fate.

. I mean, at the end of the day, it's just a bunch of guys running around on a field... but I guess that's what makes it so fascinating, right? It's like, our emotions are all tied up in this outcome, and if we can't even enjoy ourselves because someone might have said something slightly off-color, then is life really worth living? 
i think ben johnson went way too far with those profanity-laced comments tho 
like coach, keep it professional on the field pls 
but at the same time, i get why some fans wanna defend him, we r bears fans thru and thru 
so yeah, idk what's gonna happen after the game, but i hope ben learns a lesson from this 
maybe he can just stick to trash talkin about the opposing team's QB or something 
. fans are gonna be so divided either way tho, i'm low-key rooting for bears 2 win tho 
i mean, i get it, rivalry games can be intense, but as a coach, shouldn't he be setting an example for his team? 
️ on the flip side, some of these fans are way too salty and need to chill out 
we should be supporting our team no matter what, right? 
and tbh, 3.5 point underdogs is a pretty big gap to close... can the bears pull off an upset in cold weather conditions? 
only time will tell! 
my cousin works with his brother in law who plays for the bears and they're literally DYING over there because of what coach johnson said 
and on the other hand, my friend's sister is a huge rams fan and she's FREAKING OUT because ben johnson dissed their team 
anyway, I think the weather will be a major factor in this game. I mean, who wants to play in freezing cold temps? 
maybe he didn't choose his words carefully, but it's not like he said anything that would cost the team the game... let's not jump to conclusions here 
. And can we talk about how weird it is that weather conditions are getting brought into this? Like, aren't we talking about a football game here? 
. Let's just hope the Bears bring home that W! 
The real question should be, can the Bears execute their game plan in front of a raucous Rams crowd? I'm not placing my bet on it yet 
.
he thinks throwing shade at the packers will get him pumped up but really it just shows his lack of class 
like what even is sportsmanship anymore? and dont even get me started on the fans who are defending him because "he's just being himself" no ben, youre a coach not a meme lord 
we need to hold ourselves to higher standards, especially in a role where you're supposed to be leading by example 
. But at the same time, can't we just move on from the trash talk and focus on the game? It feels like he's trying to get under our skin more than anything 
.
?
I'm still rooting for us to take down the rams and show them who's boss 
anyway, i think the bears got this, they've been playing great all season and packers are having an off day
