Packers Talk

This one isn’t loud.It’s worse than that.After a brutal, deflating playoff loss to the Bears, Chris and Dave arrive at a realization that no amount of screaming, coping, or “processing” can fix what just happened. So Packers Therapy is… temporarily suspended.Welcome to Packers Stoicism.In this episode, we examine the season-ending collapse not as an emotional event—but as a pattern. A familiar script. A recurring failure dressed up in new uniforms and new excuses. The Bears didn’t steal this game. The Packers handed it to them, calmly, methodically, and with the eerie predictability of a team that no longer knows how to close.Up 21–3. Perfect first half. Total control.And yet nobody—nobody—felt safe.Chris and Dave break down how this team continues to fold under pressure, why halftime adjustments remain theoretical, and why Matt LaFleur’s greatest strength—preparation—has become his greatest weakness when the game stops following the plan. This isn’t about one missed kick, one bad bounce, or one dirty hit. It’s about institutional rot, leadership drift, and a franchise trapped in a loop it refuses to acknowledge.Listener emails pour gasoline on the fire: scripture, rage, despair, Marine-level blunt force honesty, and one perfect Bears quote that says more than any analyst ever could. We confront the uncomfortable questions head-on:Is this team actually learning… or just repeating?Is LaFleur a good coach—or simply a comfortable one?At what point does “consistently competitive” become quietly unacceptable?And what happens when fans stop being angry… and start becoming detached?Then comes the turn.Dave introduces Stoicism—not as a gimmick, but as survival. When you can’t control the team, the coaches, or the front office, all that’s left is controlling your reaction. No rage. No denial. Just clear-eyed acceptance of what is—and what is no longer worth emotional investment.This isn’t optimism.It’s emotional risk management.The season ends not with hope, but with clarity. And maybe that’s the most honest ending of all.Packers Therapy Stoicism begins here.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapyPayPal: Packerstherapy@yahoo.comPosting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet.

So… you know that feeling when you get dumped, then you get fired, then your dog dies, and then you look up and realize you still have to go to work tomorrow and smile at people? Yeah. That’s Sunday.Because the Green Bay Packers — YOUR Green Bay Packers — walked into Soldier Field with a 21–3 halftime lead in a playoff game against their biggest rival… and somehow walked out with a 31–27 season-ending loss that felt like getting stuffed into a locker by the Chicago Bears while their fans take turns yelling “SAME OLD PACKERS” into your soul.And no — before anyone tries it — this isn’t one of those “well, you know, injuries…” podcasts. Miss me with that completely. If you’re healthy enough to build a 21–3 lead, then you’re healthy enough to finish the damn game. San Francisco didn’t stop playing football because someone got dinged up. Neither did anybody else. This is the playoffs. Nobody’s handing out participation ribbons. And what Green Bay did in the second half was the exact opposite of playoff football.In this episode, Lemps comes to you from the basement Packer room in Milwaukee to do what this game demands: pin this loss squarely where it belongs — on Matt LaFleur. Not because Matt missed a kick. Not because Matt committed a penalty. Not because Matt plays corner or defensive line. But because every single LaFleur-era disease we’ve been living with — and screaming about — for years came roaring back all at once in the most humiliating way possible.You get the full autopsy:The second-half turtle mode after a brilliant first half — “all gas, no brakes” turning into “all fear, all punts.”The maddening obsession with running the ball straight into a wall while the game shifts under his feet.The inability to adjust quickly when the Bears start bringing pressure and playing like a team that actually wants to win.Shotgun-heavy nonsense that kills your play-action identity and makes life harder on your quarterback for no reason.And then… the game management. The timeouts. The penalties. The sloppiness in the biggest moments. The “how is this still happening in YEAR SEVEN?” stuff that makes you want to throw your remote into Lake Michigan and then apologize to the lake.Lemps also goes hard on the bigger theme: culture. The Packers didn’t just lose a game — they lost the exact kind of game that exposes what a team is made of. When things got tight, when Chicago punched back, when the moment demanded composure and toughness and killer instinct… Green Bay folded. Again. And when LaFleur says after the game “we need to keep our composure”… Lemps explains why that starts with the head coach. Teams reflect their coach. And if you keep watching the same movie, you keep getting the same ending.This one’s bitter. It’s sharp. It’s exhausted. It’s angry. It’s also painfully familiar — because we’ve seen this exact collapse before in different jerseys, different years, different stadiums… with the same guy holding the clipboard.And then, because Lemps is a man of the people (and because misery loves company), we crack open a small sampling of listener questions/comments — including coaching candidates, the GM conversation, and what the hell comes next if/when Ed Policy decides to finally make the call that a whole lot of Packer fans are screaming for.If you’re furious, you’re not alone.If you’re numb, you’re not alone.If you live in Chicago and you’re about to hear about this for six to eight months, God help you, and Lemps is pouring one out in your honor.Buckle up. This one isn’t “fun.”This one is necessary.🎧 Listen now on PackersTalk.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you carry the G. And yes—grab a beer first.

The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.How they got here? Let’s… not talk about that game in Minnesota. 🔥🗑️On this episode of Cheesehead Radio, the crew does the humane thing: burns the Week 18 tape, scrubs the Clayton Tune experience from collective memory, and pivots hard to what actually matters — a Saturday night playoff showdown at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears.The Packers chose rest over rust, sat their starters, survived a street-free-agent football experiment, and somehow still found defensive contributors hiding in plain sight. Meanwhile, Bears fans are paying historic prices, talking historic trash, and convincing themselves this time will be different.We break down:Why that Vikings “game” felt more like the 1987 replacement era than NFL footballThe unexpected defensive bright spots (Barryn Sorrell, Colin Oliver, Brenton Cox Jr.)The injury fallout — and why Green Bay is actually healthier than it’s been in weeksRest vs. rust, momentum vs. narrative, physics vs. vibesWhy Bears swagger feels real… and also deeply fragileHow ticket prices, weather, turnovers, and special teams could decide everythingThen we get serious — keys to the game, playoff matchups, and what must happen if the Packers are going to walk into Chicago and leave with Bears fans staring into the abyss yet again.It’s the third postseason meeting between the NFL’s oldest rivals.It’s the most expensive Wild Card game ever.It’s Soldier Field, at night, in January.And for Green Bay?It’s either a reckoning… or another long offseason.Pull up a chair.Burn the tape.It’s Bears week — again — with everything on the line.🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your Packers fix.Presented by Ticket King, Cheesehead Radio is back for its 17th season — your go-to Packers podcast for news, fun, and a little bit of frivolity.Be sure to join C.D., Al and Kelly on their regular jaunts through the Packers Universe.

Another Tuesday night, another bag ripped open—and this one is stuffed with Bears hate, Vikings apathy, playoff anxiety, and top-shelf Facebook bulls**t.Chris Lempesis is back with a brand-new edition of Emptying The Bag, answering everything he didn’t get to after the Packers wrapped up an essentially meaningless regular-season finale against Minnesota. And for once, Lemps doesn’t even bother with the usual “godd**n Vikings” routine—because honestly? That game just wasn’t important enough to earn it.Instead, the show opens with a heartfelt, nostalgia-drenched ode to BJ Raji—Packers legend, Bears killer, and certified folk hero—whose iconic pick-six in the 2011 NFC Championship Game still gives Lemps chills nearly 15 years later. From Raji’s disappearance into real-life Keyser Söze territory to vivid memories of that magical day at Soldier Field, Lemps reflects on what it means to be a Packer for life—and why that bond between legends and fans matters.From there, the mailbag officially reopens.Topics include:Why covering a meaningless Vikings game was still absolutely the right callWhether rest is actually rust in disguise heading into the playoffsWhy Soldier Field on Saturday night is going to be absolute chaosThe Packers’ maddening Jekyll-and-Hyde season and why anything feels possibleMatt LaFleur’s ongoing mystery relationship with the challenge flagThe one real reason to feel optimistic heading into Bears Week (hello, Jordan Love)A brutally honest look at the defense—and who Lemps trusts way more than Rashan Gary right nowTrade hypotheticals involving Malik Willis, cap gymnastics, and the nuclear “what if” surrounding LaFleur’s futureAnd, of course, an all-time classic entry of Facebook F*ery**, featuring unnamed rookies, imaginary Appleton nightclubs, and some of the finest fake reporting you’ll ever hear dismantled in real timeLemps also lays out the clearest blueprint yet for how Green Bay can go into Chicago and rip the Bears’ hearts out of their own building—while fully acknowledging that this team could win by two scores, lose by two scores, or do something completely unhinged in between.The verdict?Play clean. Protect the ball. Don’t get sloppy.Do that—and Lemps likes the Packers’ chances. A lot.The Bears still suck.The bag is emptied.And Saturday night can’t get here fast enough.🎧 Listen now on PackersTalk.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you carry the G.

The Packers–Bears rivalry is officially back, and it couldn’t return at a bigger moment. In this week’s live episode of Packers Weekly, we dive into the revival of the NFL’s oldest rivalry now that the Bears are no longer a rebuilding footnote, but a legitimate, dangerous opponent — and the Packers’ playoff matchup this weekend. The energy feels different, the stakes feel heavier, and for the first time in years, this matchup actually means something again.We break down how the Bears’ improvement has reignited the rivalry, why Packers fans should take this game seriously, and what this moment represents for the future of the NFC North. From the emotional weight of Packers vs Bears in January football to the tactical chess match unfolding on the field, this episode blends rivalry passion with playoff-level analysis.The focus, as always, stays on Green Bay. Can the Packers impose their identity in a high-pressure playoff environment? Which matchups favor the Packers, and where do the Bears pose real problems? We discuss what the Packers must do to control the game, limit mistakes, and remind Chicago who still runs this rivalry when it matters most.If you’re a Packers fan who’s missed the fire, the hatred, and the electricity of a true Packers–Bears showdown, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

The Packers ended the regular season the way the universe clearly intended: by shuffling into Minnesota, fielding a roster made of practice-squad LinkedIn profiles, and producing an offensive masterpiece so daring it finished with negative passing yardage.That’s not a typo. That’s not “net yards with sacks.” That’s not “if you squint.” That’s -7. In the National Football League. In a game played by adults who get paid.And yet—somehow—Matt LaFleur still found the time to call a last-second timeout so Brandon McManus could kick a field goal and preserve the sacred 16–3 final, depriving the Vikings of a shutout like a man proudly tipping over a trash can after the building already burned down.This episode is Chris and Dave in full Therapy mode: tired, sarcastic, spiritually uninsured, and staring into the abyss while the abyss runs Cover-0 blitz every third down.They unpack the absolute non-event that was Vikings-Packers:Clayton Tune’s historic evening of “I wore the helmet, okay?”LaFleur’s game plan, which appeared to be: drop back… and perishThe Daniel Whelan Punters Showcase™, featuring eight punts and a 54-yard average—your 2025 Packers MVP, ladies and gentlemenThe injury roulette wheel that still managed to claim real humans in a “meaningless” game, because of course it didThe sudden appearance of fresh defensive juice (hello, Sorrell and Colin Oliver), which raises the most Packers question possible: why do the backups look more alive than the starters?The CBS announcing crew so bad that Pastor Kevin nearly renounced football, capitalism, and possibly baptismThen the boys pivot to the part nobody wants but everyone’s getting: the Wild Card matchup in Chicago against a Bears team that’s feeling itself, catching tipped interceptions like it’s a birthright, and walking around like the main character.Chris lays out the grim season-arc prophecy: this feels like the year the worm turns… unless the Bears do what the Bears always do—step on their own rake in front of a national audience.Also included: a long, uncomfortable coach hug that should’ve come with a consent form… and the final regular-season edition of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks, where one man achieved perfection in the only week perfection was mathematically inevitable.So yes: the Packers are limping. Yes: the vibes are rancid. Yes: we’re still here.Because this isn’t just football.It’s Therapy.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapyPayPal: Packerstherapy@yahoo.comPosting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet.

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room in Milwaukee to break down what can only be described as… a football-shaped shrug.If you sat through the entire 2 hours and 45 minutes of Green Bay’s 16–3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, give yourself a gold star, a warm blanket, and possibly a small tax credit. Because “meaningless regular season finale” doesn’t even begin to cover what this was. This was a glorified preseason game with Clayton Tune, a bunch of backups, an announcing crew that felt like CBS’s Z-team, and a vibe so sleepy that someone on BlueSky claimed even Larry McCarren sounded disinterested — and folks, if you’ve lost Larry, what hope is there for the rest of us?The Packers sat damn near every key player, prioritizing rest over rust to avoid a Week 18 repeat of last year’s nightmare (Christian Watson ACL, we remember). And hey — mostly mission accomplished… except for the part where Javon Bullard somehow stayed in long enough to tweak his knee (why?) and Bo Melton also left with a knee injury. Otherwise, the main takeaway was pretty simple:Matt LaFleur coached this thing like, “let’s just get this over with and get the hell out of here.”Lemps hits the handful of things actually worth discussing from the “Clayton Tune Game,” including a legit bright spot: a trio of defensive ends Bretton Cox Jr., Baron Sorrell, and Colin Oliver (Oliver’s NFL debut) who combined for 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, 6 QB hits, a forced fumble, and a recovery — and who played with more juice in a meaningless game than Green Bay showed defensively against Baltimore. Sorrell, especially, gets the full Lemps stamp: 110 miles per hour every snap, and possibly a real answer for the future with Rashan Gary’s status suddenly very much on the table and Kingsley Enagbare headed toward free agency.Offensively, Lemps highlights Chris Brooks running hard and looking like a “winning player,” and the bizarre roller coaster of Emmanuel Wilson, who somehow went 7 carries for -14 in the first half — including a run so disastrous it became one of the biggest RB losses since 2007 — then rebounded in the second half with 11 carries for 58 yards. Also: Daniel Whelan punted the hell out of the ball, because yes, the Packers absolutely got their full quota of preseason vibes… right down to special teams being the most stable thing in the building.But if you’re looking for negatives, Lemps has you covered: the backup pass protection was so brutal he spent part of the afternoon wondering if Clayton Tune was going to leave the stadium in a full-body cast, and he’s not exactly thrilled with what he saw from Jordan Morgan at left tackle. And no, Tune is not your “future Malik Willis replacement.” He’s break-glass-in-case-of-emergency — and this was definitely that.Then comes the most suspicious moment of the day: LaFleur calling timeout with one second left just to kick a short field goal… in a game where the spread was Vikings -13.5 and that kick helped the Packers cover. Lemps isn’t saying anything. He’s just saying it was… odd. Peculiar, even.From there, the show pivots to what actually matters now: the playoffs — and the most unhinged, beautiful outcome possible:Packers–Bears, Part 3.The trilogy.Saturday night.7 p.m. Lambeau time.Prime Video.Lemps sets the stage for the Wild Card matchup, why it’s the premier game of the weekend regardless of conference, why the rivalry is real (especially if you live in Wisconsin), and why it’s time for the 2025 Bears’ absurd run of bounces to finally run out. Because yes, the Bears are good… but also: enough.Finally, Lemps opens the mailbag for a sampling of your reactions — including full-on fan apathy, first-half offensive stats that don’t seem mathematically possible (0.6 yards per play), and frustration with the team’s refusal to use Matthew Golden creatively even in a game tailor-made to boost his confidence. If Tune and Golden have history, why not spam Golden touches? Why not chase that first pro TD? Why are we throwing to fourth-string tight ends instead?Because the game plan was the same as the vibe: runs up the gut, punts, and get the hell out.It’s playoff time now, baby.But the Packers are rolling into it on a four-game losing streak again, so yes — beer is necessary.All that and more on Packers Tune Out in Minneapolis, right here on LempsTalkinPack.🎧 Listen now on PackersTalk.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you carry the G.

Get ready for the season finale as No Huddle Radio goes live to preview this week’s highly anticipated matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. With playoff implications, health concerns, and long-term goals all colliding, this episode dives deep into the biggest question facing Matt LaFleur and the Packers’ coaching staff: should Green Bay rest key players—and if so, who actually sits? From Jordan Love and the offensive line to defensive cornerstones and skill-position depth, the hosts break down the risks, rewards, and emotional tug-of-war between going all-out for momentum versus protecting the future. This is a thoughtful but passionate discussion from the perspective of Packers fans who understand how fragile a season can be. Is chasing rhythm and confidence worth the injury risk? Or is this the moment to trust the depth, evaluate young talent, and prioritize January football? The conversation balances analytics, recent trends, and gut-level fan instincts as the Packers prepare to face a familiar rival in the Vikings. If you’re a Packers fan debating lineup decisions, playoff strategy, and what really matters heading into the postseason, this episode is for you.

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room for another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25 — beer in hand, keyboard open, and yes… it’s basically New Year’s Eve by the time you’re hearing this, so we’re doing what Packers fans do best:We’re reflecting.We’re spiraling.And then we’re answering your questions anyway.Because after Green Bay’s 41–24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Lambeau Field, the fanbase is somewhere between “I’m done with this” and “I’m a psycho superfan so I’m obviously watching again on Sunday.” (Hi. It’s us.)Lemps opens the show with a holiday-flavored look back at the calendar year that was for the Green Bay Packers — including a little time capsule from the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, when your old pal was there all three days, had one of the best weekends of his life, and witnessed one of the funniest hallway moments you’ll ever picture involving a Bengals fan at the Country Inn & Suites. (Yes, we’re starting here. No, I will not apologize.)Then it’s time to open the mailbag — questions and comments from you, the listeners, after the Ravens game where the Packers basically got their grandma run over by a reindeer. Topics include:Matt LaFleur’s future — why Lemps doesn’t “hate” the guy, but is increasingly out on the same recurring problems seven years in: the little things, the situational stuff, the underprepared/undisciplined feel… and the inescapable reality that if the special teams are still a mess, someone is choosing to keep that mess employed. (Yes, we’re talking Rich Bisaccia again.)If Green Bay actually moved on from LaFleur… who are the names? Lemps throws out candidates and fits, including offensive-minded options like Bills OC Joe Brady, and what matters most if you’re building around Jordan Love.Malik Willis and the offseason chessboard — how the Packers handle him after what he’s put on tape, why you can’t just let value walk out the door, and the very real idea that Green Bay could be sitting on a draft-pick gold mine if they play this correctly.Best Wild Card matchup — what scenario gives Green Bay the cleanest path, what fans want emotionally (you know what team you want), and how much any of it matters if the Packers keep showing up like this.Roster construction and Brian Gutekunst — especially the defensive tackle spot and why it still feels like the Packers haven’t invested enough where the run defense actually lives. Lemps talks DeVonte Wyatt, what happens when you miss a guy like that, and why “we’re still rebuilding the defense” is getting old.Matthew Golden — the frustration, the lack of touchdowns, the speed question, and why Lemps still believes in the player… while wondering if the coaching staff has any idea how to use him properly.Plus: shameless self-promotion (don’t fast-forward, damn it), where to follow, how to subscribe to Packers Talk / Packers Talk Network, how to support the show, and why these Tuesday night mailbag episodes have become one of the most fun parts of the season — even when the football itself is trying to ruin our lives.So grab a beer, settle in, and let’s empty the bag one more time — Ravens Edition.🎧 Listen now on PackersTalk.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you carry the G.

There are losses that hurt, and then there are losses that sit you down, take your lunch money, and explain—calmly and efficiently—that whatever you thought you were building… is not ready.This was the second kind.Packers Therapy returns after a Ravens game that never really felt competitive, even during the brief moments when the scoreboard pretended otherwise. Derrick Henry didn’t just run through the Packers defense—he conducted a historical reenactment. One part battering ram, one part existential reckoning, Henry turned Lambeau Field into a live demonstration of what happens when “bend but don’t break” turns into “bend, fold, collapse, repeat.”Chris and Dave open the session trying to process a defensive performance that allowed 307 rushing yards, four Derrick Henry touchdowns, and multiple drives that felt less like football possessions and more like controlled demolitions. The Ravens didn’t trick the Packers. They didn’t outsmart them. They lined up, announced their intentions, and dared Green Bay to stop it.They could not.The conversation quickly moves from what happened to the far more uncomfortable question: what does this mean? Is this just a bad matchup? A short week fluke? Or is there something fundamentally soft—schematically, philosophically, emotionally—about a team that repeatedly fails the exact same test against physical opponents?Because this wasn’t subtle. Baltimore ran when they wanted, passed only when necessary, and never once looked rushed. Even with Lamar Jackson unavailable, the Ravens dictated terms. When Green Bay briefly clawed back into the game behind a heroic, gutsy performance from Malik Willis—playing through a busted shoulder and sheer force of will—the defense immediately handed momentum right back like it was radioactive.Willis gets his flowers here. This wasn’t the plan, and it wasn’t fair, but he delivered throws, legs, and toughness that gave the Packers a puncher’s chance. The tragedy, of course, is that it required near-perfection from the backup quarterback just to stay afloat—because the margin for error was already gone.From there, Therapy digs into the familiar spiral:• Third-and-short failures that feel preordained• Goal-line sequences that inspire dread instead of confidence• Critical defensive moments that evaporate instantly• Injuries piling up like receipts you didn’t ask for• And the creeping realization that this team may be good… but not hardChris zooms out, wrestling with perspective and the limits of emotional investment. Dave zooms in, asking whether this is just who the Packers are right now—a talented roster that folds when games turn into fistfights. Together, they circle the central question without flinching:If the playoffs demand physical dominance, do the Packers actually have the policy coverage they think they do?There’s humor, because Therapy requires it. There’s frustration, because it’s earned.

The Green Bay Packers got bullied, gaslit, and reality-checked by the Baltimore Ravens — at home — in what may have been the most clarifying loss of the season. Derrick Henry ran like it was 2015, Malik Willis played out of his mind on one good shoulder, and the Packers defense… well… mostly watched.On this episode of Cheesehead Radio, we try to make sense of a team that has officially clinched a playoff spot — and somehow looks less sure of itself than ever. The Packers are locked into the 7 seed, riddled with injuries, and staring down a Week 18 matchup against the Vikings that raises a brutal question: do they even care if they win?We break down how Baltimore imposed its identity while Green Bay still searches for one, why the run defense completely collapsed, and how a once-promising defense looks painfully ordinary without Micah Parsons and Devonte Wyatt. We talk Malik Willis’ breakout audition, Jordan Love’s concussion situation, and whether Willis just priced himself out of Green Bay forever.Then we go bigger. Rashan Gary’s disappearing act. The uncomfortable future of Quay Walker. Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and the coming cap reality. The injury avalanche that has quietly undermined what should have been a Super Bowl-level season.Finally, we look ahead to Vikings week — not as a rivalry game, but as a risk-assessment exercise. Do you rest starters? Chase momentum? Let Justin Jefferson get his yards and get out alive? Or pretend this is still a normal football game?This isn’t rage radio.This is recognition.Because the most unsettling part isn’t the loss —it’s how familiar it all feels.🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your Packers fix.Presented by Ticket King, Cheesehead Radio is back for its 17th season — your go-to Packers podcast for news, fun, and a little bit of frivolity.Be sure to join C.D., Al and Kelly on their regular jaunts through the Packers Universe.

In this episode of our Packers Weekly YouTube Live podcast, the conversation turns serious as the Green Bay Packers fall to the Baltimore Ravens, dropping their third straight game and raising real concerns about the team’s playoff outlook. Using moments and themes from the full transcript, the hosts dig into why this loss happened and whether it was the result of bad luck, bad preparation, or growing flaws that playoff-caliber teams are exploiting. From missed opportunities to questionable execution, this loss felt like more than just another mark in the standings.The discussion breaks down the biggest causes behind the Ravens loss, including inconsistent offensive rhythm, defensive breakdowns against physical teams, and whether the Packers are struggling to adjust once opponents punch back. There’s honest analysis of Jordan Love’s play, the balance (or imbalance) between the run and pass game, and how situational football continues to swing games the wrong way. Most importantly, the show wrestles with the uncomfortable question Packers fans are starting to ask out loud: can this team realistically bounce back from three straight losses and still be competitive in the playoffs?The tone is reflective, emotional, and analytical — not panic, but not blind optimism either. The hosts explore what has to change quickly if the Packers want to regain momentum, confidence, and belief before postseason football begins. Is this just a midseason stumble, or the beginning of the end for a team with playoff aspirations?If you’re a Packers fan looking for real talk, thoughtful breakdowns, and fan-first analysis, this episode is a must-watch.

The spiral is real, and it’s getting uglier by the week.Chris Lempesis is back from the basement Packer room in Milwaukee to break down one of the most humiliating nights in recent Green Bay Packers history — a 41–24 beatdown at Lambeau Field at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens that felt over long before the final whistle. This wasn’t just a loss. This was a statement. And not a good one.Lemps walks through how the Packers defense delivered a soft, lifeless, historically bad performance, allowing 307 rushing yards, including a 216-yard, four-touchdown night from Derrick Henry, the most rushing yards ever by an opposing player at Lambeau Field. Yes, ever. The Ravens ran power football all night, knew exactly what they were going to do, and Green Bay still had no answers. Wrong reads. Missed assignments. Zero resistance. A performance Lemps compares — unfavorably — to the worst moments of the Capers, Pettine, and Barry eras combined.And that’s what makes this loss sting even more: Malik Willis was outstanding.Lemps gives full credit to Willis for one of the best quarterback performances by a Packers backup in years — 18-for-21 passing, 288 yards, three total touchdowns, zero turnovers, and complete command of the offense. It should have been enough to win. Instead, it was wasted. Lemps explains why Willis has played his way into legitimate starting consideration somewhere in the NFL next season — and why Green Bay may need to seriously consider franchise-tagging him for trade value this offseason.From there, the conversation turns darker.Lemps unloads on the front seven, questions the futures of Rashan Gary, Quay Walker, and others, and explains why injuries alone do not excuse what happened Saturday night. He breaks down Jeff Hafley’s mounting problems, the complete lack of answers since Micah Parsons went down, and why this defense looks worse by the week — not better.There’s also a hard look at Matt LaFleur, the Packers once again being locked into the seventh seed, and what it really says about a team that is now sliding backward into the playoffs for the third straight year. With the NFC Wild Card looming, Lemps asks the uncomfortable question: Is this team actually going anywhere — or just showing up?Finally, Lemps opens up the mailbag for a sampling of listener reactions, covering everything from playoff momentum vs. resting starters, to frustration with complacency, to whether this team still has any fight left at all.It’s raw. It’s frustrated. It’s brutally honest Packers analysis — the kind you only get when the spiral is fully underway.All that and more on The Spiral Continues, right here on LempsTalkinPack.🎧 Listen now on PackersTalk.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you carry the G.

The Packers didn’t just lose to the Bears.They ran the entire “How To Lose a Game You’re Winning” playbook… in public… on Christmas week… again.Yes, Romeo Doubs muffed the onside kick. Yes, Keisean Nixon is going to live forever in the final highlight. And yes, social media immediately dusted off the Brandon Bostick comps like it was 2014 all over again.But stop.This loss was not one play.It wasn’t one player.And it sure as hell wasn’t “bad luck.”On this solo, post-Bears edition of Cheesehead Radio, C.D. Angeli walks through how Green Bay managed to contribute equally to its own collapse in all three phases — special teams opened the door, the offense handed the ball right back, and the defense politely stepped aside when the Bears needed it most.We talk about:Why the 2014 NFC Championship comparisons are emotionally satisfying — and fundamentally incompleteHow red zone ineptitude has quietly become a defining traitWhy Malik Willis played well enough to win (and why that still didn’t matter)What Jordan Love’s concussion means in the worst possible momentAnd the uncomfortable truth: this isn’t a quarterback problem, a coordinator problem, or a single-unit failureThis is an identity problem.The Packers are good. They’re talented. They’re competitive.And they repeatedly find ways not to finish.That brings us to the conversation no one wants, but everyone is circling: Matt LaFleur. Not a firing rant. Not a hot take. Just an honest look at what it means when the same late-game failures keep happening, regardless of who’s under center, who’s injured, or who made the last mistake.Plus, Jersey Al stops by with a Hot Pocket that somehow manages to be both depressing and accurate — which honestly tracks for this season.Life moves pretty fast.So do collapses.And if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss the moment you realized exactly who this team is.Cheesehead Radio.

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room for another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag, doing what he does best: cracking open the mailbag, cracking open a beer, and working through the thoughts, frustrations, hopes, fears, and movie references of Packers fans everywhere.He opens this one on a reflective note, telling a story about a long-ago Packers–Bears game he attended — a far better memory than what fans have been dealing with lately. It’s a moment of holiday-season nostalgia that serves as a reminder of why this rivalry matters, why it always feels bigger than the standings, and why even after heartbreak, fans keep coming back for more.From there, it’s straight into the questions and comments sent in from social media and email. As always, nothing is off-limits. Lempesis breaks down the latest on Jordan Love’s chances of playing Saturday night against Baltimore, what the offense might look like if he can’t go, and how much risk the Packers should really be willing to take this late in the season.He also tackles the growing discussion around Matt LaFleur’s future, addressing whether the head coach has done enough to earn a contract extension this offseason, how the front office is likely viewing the season as a whole, and what LaFleur’s body of work says about where this team is actually headed.And because it’s a Lemps mailbag show, things eventually veer delightfully off the rails — including a spirited detour into the cinematic masterpiece Necessary Roughness, why it still rules, and why sometimes football stories (and football movies) are about heart, grit, and dumb belief more than perfect execution.It’s a classic Emptying The Bag episode: thoughtful without being precious, emotional without being melodramatic, and funny without ever losing the thread of what Packers fans are really feeling right now. No hot-take theater. No fake optimism. Just honest conversation, shared misery, and the occasional reminder that football is supposed to be fun — even when it hurts.Grab a beer, settle in, and open the mailbag one more time.🎧 Listen now on PackersTalk.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you carry the G.

We dive into the key moments from the loss, questionable decisions, missed opportunities, and how the Bears exposed some lingering weaknesses on both sides of the ball.But the conversation doesn’t stop there. With the Ravens coming to town, the Packers face one of their toughest tests of the season. Can Jordan Love and the offense respond against an elite Ravens defense? Will the Packers clean up their mistakes, find consistency, and prove they’re still a legitimate playoff contender? We preview the matchup, discuss the biggest keys to victory, and debate whether Green Bay has the mental toughness to rebound after an emotional divisional loss.

The Packers–Bears rivalry is officially alive again — and even in defeat, you can feel how much this matchup finally matters. In this episode of our Packers Weekly live podcast, we react to a tough loss to the Bears and break down why this game felt different from recent years. Chicago is no longer just rebuilding or “almost there.” The Bears are a better team, and because of that, Packers vs. Bears is once again a real, emotional, high-stakes rivalry in the NFC North.We dive into a full review of this week’s Packers–Bears game, analyzing how the Bears were able to come out on top and what went wrong for Green Bay. From Jordan Love’s performance and the offense’s missed opportunities, to defensive breakdowns and momentum-shifting moments, we focus heavily on what the Packers need to clean up if they want to stay ahead as the division gets tougher. This wasn’t just another loss — it was a reminder that the margin for error in this rivalry is shrinking fast.Despite the frustration, there’s genuine excitement in knowing this rivalry finally has teeth again. We discuss whether this loss is a wake-up call for the Packers, how Green Bay should respond moving forward, and what it means long-term if the Bears continue to rise. Can the Packers adjust and reassert control, or are we entering a new chapter where every meeting with Chicago feels like a playoff game?If you’re a Packers fan who loves honest analysis mixed with real emotion, make sure to subscribe to the channel, like the video, and join us live every week for Packers Weekly.#Packers #PackersBears #NFLRivalry #GreenBayPackers #BearsVsPackers #JordanLove #NFCLNorth #PackersWeekly #NFLAnalysis💬 Join the Conversation:We’re live every Monday night at 9:30 PM, breaking down every game, big play, and headline — all from a diehard fan’s perspective.

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, emotional fog fully engaged, trying to explain the unexplainable after Green Bay’s soul-crushing 22–16 overtime loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.He opens the show with brutal honesty: a day later, he’s still got nothing. No clever hook. No witty opener. Just disbelief — and that alone tells you everything you need to know about how catastrophic this loss really was.Lempesis walks listeners through how the Packers’ collapse didn’t actually begin with the botched onside kick or the overtime disaster — it started much earlier. He lays out, in painstaking detail, how five red-zone trips produced just nine points, and why that failure set the table for everything that followed. Along the way, he takes direct aim at Matt LaFleur’s decision-making, questioning red-zone play calls, fourth-down aggression, and whether the head coach lost his nerve when the moment demanded killer instinct.From there, the focus shifts to the final unraveling — the onside kick disaster, the coverage breakdown on fourth-and-four, the inability to gain one yard in overtime, and the final gut punch: Caleb Williams’ perfect walk-off bomb to DJ Moore. Lempesis explains why this wasn’t just bad luck, but a total systems failure involving coaching, special teams, and execution — with Rich Bisaccia’s unit once again under the microscope.He assigns blame carefully but firmly, breaking down mistakes by Romeo Doubs, Malik Willis, Keisean Nixon, Josh Jacobs, and others — while always circling back to the uncomfortable truth: when collapses keep happening, leadership has to answer for them.Along the way, he contextualizes where this loss leaves the Packers — still technically playoff-bound, but emotionally flattened. The division race math is laid out, the NFC picture is examined, and the looming question hangs heavy over the episode: is this team actually growing, or is this as good as it gets under Matt LaFleur?The episode closes with a small sampling of listener questions and comments from social media and email — raw, angry, exhausted reactions that perfectly mirror the mood of the fanbase. It’s not a full mailbag, but a taste of the emotional wreckage, with more promised in the upcoming Tuesday night show.It’s not a rant for the sake of ranting.It’s not performative outrage.It’s a clear-eyed, emotionally honest autopsy of one of the worst regular-season losses Packers fans have endured in years.Grab a beer.

The Packers didn’t just lose to the Bears.They carefully assembled a win, admired it for most of the afternoon, and then systematically dismantled it in front of everyone.Packers Therapy #497 — “Bears Still Suck, Johnson Too” is Chris and Dave trying to make sense of a collapse that felt both shocking and completely predictable. The kind of loss where, by the time it actually happens, you’re not even surprised—just tired.It starts with the moment the air left the building: Jordan Love getting knocked out on a hit that somehow didn’t eject the guy who delivered it. The offense stalls, the mood turns, and suddenly we’re all holding our breath wondering whether Malik Willis can keep the wheels on. Spoiler: he mostly does. Which, in true Packers fashion, only makes what comes next hurt more.From there, it’s a parade of self-inflicted wounds:Multiple red-zone trips, zero touchdowns, because the Packers now treat the goal line like it’s cursed ground.A Jacobs goal-line fumble that felt less like bad luck and more like destiny.Play-calling that oscillates between terrified and incoherent the moment things get tight.And of course, special teams showing up late just to light the remaining hope on fire, capped by an onside kick sequence that had all the suspense of a slow-motion car crash.Meanwhile, the Bears are doing Bears things. They still suck. They still can’t get out of their own way. Ben Johnson’s bizarre gadget nonsense manages to backfire spectacularly—and somehow, the Packers still can’t take advantage. When even the opponent’s stupidity doesn’t save you, that’s when you know you’re in real trouble.Chris and Dave don’t sugarcoat it:This wasn’t about talent.This wasn’t about effort.This was about execution collapsing under pressure, discipline evaporating, and a team that still hasn’t learned how to close.There’s humor, because there has to be. There’s anger, because it’s earned. And there’s that familiar, sinking realization that we’ve all seen this movie before—and the Packers keep insisting the ending will be different next time.It isn’t.At least not yet.Packers Therapy is here for the fans who watched every snap anyway, who knew exactly where this was headed, and who still need someone to say it out loud:Yes.That was brutal.And no—you’re not crazy for being mad about it.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapyPayPal: Packerstherapy@yahoo.comPosting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet.
