The Man Cave Podcast

Diggs Expectations 

The countdown to kickoff is on, and the Packers’ path to victory starts in the trenches.

In this episode of The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper breaks down one of the biggest keys to Saturday night’s playoff showdown between the Packers and Bears: stopping Chicago’s dangerous rushing attack. From red zone efficiency to early-down run defense, Dan explains why Green Bay can’t afford to settle for field goals—or allow Chicago to control the game on the ground.

Dan dives deep into:


Why touchdowns (not field goals) are critical to flipping the game script


The Bears’ elite rushing offense and dominant offensive line


How Jeff Hafley and the Packers defense must adjust after past run-defense failures


The importance of winning early downs and forcing third-and-long situations


How complementary football could be Green Bay’s best defensive weapon

Plus, Dan continues his countdown of the most memorable Packers–Bears games, including a personal reflection on the iconic 10–3 win that launched the Packers’ Super Bowl XLV run.

The episode wraps with a candid discussion sparked by Adam Schefter’s comments on Matt LaFleur’s contract status—raising bigger questions about whether Green Bay has historically been too conservative when it comes to paying coaches and assistants.

Playoff football, rivalry history, and tough conversations—this one has it all.
