Ben Johnson: “I hate the (******)  Packers. Hate them.

Luther Burden: “He wants to beat them really bad like everyone else in the room, make them quit.”

Aaron Rodgers: “I (******) own you”

Matt LaFleur: “this game is about players and so we’ll keep it about the players. I’m not the one out there they’re playing … don’t get me wrong. I love the rivalry. It’s awesome. It’s great. It’s intense. You can feel it on gameday. You can feel it throughout the course of the week and also the significance, I mean, they’re the defending North champions. So what a great opportunity, great challenge for us in our home stadium to play against the defending champs.”

This guy just radiates toughness. The Packers must just want to run through a brick wall for him, 

More importantly, why does Ben Johnson hate the Packers? That’s just gotta be rah rah BS to pump his guys up. 
 

sure, the Packers were in the conference title game in ‘19 and ‘20 but since then they’re kind of a team that beats up on their weak division and gets pants’d in the playoffs.
 

Prior to Detroit, I don’t think Johnson would have built up hate for the Packers as an offensive assistant in Miami, unless he’s just a weird guy (possible).

I don't think it's even to pump up his guys. I think he knows exactly who LaFleur is and does it to get under his skin. He knows he is able to manipulate his behavior and decisions during a game by getting under his skin.

I think part of it too is I honestly don’t believe he respects MLF as a peer at all. Not sure if that comes from his days with Dan Campbell or what. 

I genuinely do believe that if the Bears are in a position to run up the score and rub it in our face, he will do it.

The Bears ran up the score in week one to 59 points. I don’t think it matters who the other coaches if the opportunity is there I think they would do it to any team. 

But back to the original point, why would he not respect  LaFleur? He is about the most vanilla personality there is as coach in the NFL. He won a lot of games when he had good players, and has struggled when he doesn’t have the horses, again pretty non-descript.

Are there any reasonable trade options? RB, LB, OL? Tony Pollard is the only obvious guy that comes to mind.
