Justin Jones really does not like Green Bay Packers fans.
The Green Bay Packers were 24-5 against the Chicago Bears in games Aaron Rodgers started at quarterback, but Jones was only around for two of them, which were last season.
Now that Rodgers is with the New York Jets, there’s an opportunity for a reshuffling of power in the NFC North. The Bears’ defensive tackle spoke to reporters this week and did not hold back on the Packers not having Rodgers anymore.
“I wish he played one more year, honestly,” Jones said to reporters Tuesday. “Last year we went up there (to Green Bay) and (the game) got away from us. And they won, but their fans are really shitty. I wanted to go back up there, I wanted to play them, and I wanted to beat them.
“I wanted him to be there so he could see it.”
Rodgers completed 67.3% of passes against the Bears while tossing 64 touchdowns to just 10 interceptions.
The Bears haven’t beaten the Packers since 2018, a drought that could very well come to an end in 2023.

Jones doubled down on his comments. He took a few more shots at Packers fans, claiming they “didn’t know football.”
“Just the way (Packers fans) are obnoxious, just yelling about things that don’t even matter,” Jones said. “We’re not even running the play and you guys are talking about ‘boo oh yea go Packers.’ Like the game hasn’t even started yet. What we talking about here?
“Half of them don’t even know football. It’s so weird to me.”
The Bears play the Packers in Lambeau Field in Week 18, and Packers fans will not forget his words. That crowd is going to go nuts on him any chance they get.
“I’m just ready to go out there and play. I’m ready to beat the hell out of them (the Packers) on their field. I wanna hear the boos then,” Jones said. “I’m ready to take (the division) over. It’s a good time to be a Bears fan.”
Talking about it and actually doing it are two different things. The players will decide what happens on that field.
The rivalry may have taken a hit with the departure of Rodgers, but it looks like the new players will keep it alive and well.
