Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly ahead of Sunday's NFC North title game between the Packers & the Bears! They discuss if this rivalry is officially BACK for both fans and the players/coaches, and they get into the heightened stakes with the Bears succeeding so quickly under head coach Ben Johnson. They also get into Micah Parsons channeling his inner MJ to find reasons for "disrespect" from the Bears contrasted with Rashan Gary's shortcomings, and is Micah trying to send a message to the rest of his team?

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to dive into a loaded Packers–Bears rivalry week, reacting to Micah Parsons saying he feels “disrespected” by Chicago and comparing it to Michael Jordan’s habit of inventing slights for motivation. Jason explains how that kind of bulletin-board material really works in NFL locker rooms, talks about why this Packers–Bears matchup feels different now that the Bears are actually “a pretty decent team,” and weighs in on whether the rivalry still matters as much to fans. He also breaks down Javon Bullard’s injury and what it could mean for the secondary, including Nate Hobbs’ potential role in the slot, praises how well Evan Williams and Bullard have played, and has an honest conversation about Rashan Gary’s sack drought, contract, and whether he could be a trade or pay-cut candidate this offseason. Mix in some classic Chewy ‘90s stories, Jason’s locker-room insights, and on-air chaos when Chewy forgets his “big question,” and you’ve got a must-listen episode for Packers and NFC North fans.

Packers insider Jason Wilde jumps on The Homer Hour to break down Green Bay’s mindset heading into Sunday's game against Chicago. He shares what the defense is saying about slowing down the Bears’ ground attack and the keys to shutting it down. Wilde also gives an update on Quay Walker’s chances of returning from injury this week. Plus, a look at the impact Anthony Belton and Sean Rhyan are making in the run game, and where Sunday’s showdown stacks up in terms of importance this season.

Sunday brings a massive NFC North showdown: 9–3 Bears at 8–3–1 Packers, with first place on the line at Lambeau. Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf break down Green Bay’s stunning turnaround from back-to-back losses to three straight convincing wins. What’s changed for the offense? Why is Jordan Love taking such a big leap? And how have Banks–Rhyan–Belton stabilized the interior O-line after Elgton Jenkins’ injury? Plus, Micah Parsons continues to dominate, and the Packers–Bears rivalry is fun again with both teams rolling.

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to preview Packers–Bears and explain why the matchup revolves around two simple concepts: stopping Chicago’s interior run game and avoiding turnovers. The Bears lead the NFL with 17 interceptions, and Wilde warns that short fields off takeaways are Chicago’s biggest weapon. Wilde breaks down how the Bears rebuilt their offensive line, why their rushing attack mirrors Minnesota’s run-heavy philosophy, and why Green Bay’s ability to limit the run on early downs will define the game. The crew also digs into Jordan Love’s development, whether Matt LaFleur should play conservatively or aggressively, and the surprising stat that the Packers still throw the ball on 55% of first downs. Plus, they debate Romeo Dobbs’ role, his comparison to past Packers receivers, and which wideouts actually have the highest ceiling on the roster. 🎧 Daily Packers analysis with inside context, humor, and real football IQ — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Homer is joined by Jason Wilde for a deep dive into all things Packers, starting with the addition of big defensive lineman Jordon Riley from the Giants’ practice squad and what it means for a banged-up Green Bay front, including updates on Carl Brooks, Lucas Van Ness, and the run defense after the Bears’ big day on the ground. They explore how the Packers plan to slow Chicago this time, why Colby Wooden becomes crucial up the middle, and then shift into a bigger-picture conversation about the Packers–Bears rivalry, the potential long-term storyline of Jordan Love vs. Caleb Williams, and why Love’s calm, almost emotionless demeanor is both different from his predecessors and quietly one of his greatest strengths as a leader.

Jason Wilde joins Matt & Molly to talk about Sunday's Packers-Bears game and more injury updates for the Packers. They discuss which team has more to lose in this game -- the Packers or the Bears? They also discuss what's up with Jayden Reed (as Matt is asking for some of his fantasy football friends...), and how much will the loss of Devonte Wyatt hurt this defense -- which other DTs will step up in his absence? First, Jason has to grill judgemental Molly for her love for cream cheese, and he consoles Matt for having to dress up as a Bears fans when the show attends Sunday's game at Lambeau Field!

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joins The Homer Hour to break it all down: why he thinks the Packers–Bears rivalry hits different when Chicago’s actually competitive, whether the most iconic matchups between the two come when the stakes are highest, and if Green Bay has finally found a balanced formula to beat teams both on the ground and through the air. Plus, with the upcoming schedule, can the Packers realistically run the table? Wilde also dives into the spark Dontayvion Wicks has brought since returning from injury, and how the defense has managed to hold strong without Quay Walker.

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with a clear warning: Sunday’s Packers–Bears game is massive — and Green Bay’s defensive line is suddenly in trouble. With Devonte Wyatt out and Lucas Van Ness back in a walking boot, Wilde breaks down how thin the Packers are up front and why the Bears’ run-heavy attack poses a real threat. Wilde explains why opposing teams continue to run directly at Micah Parsons, how the Packers’ run-defense numbers are misleading, and why the blueprint to beat Green Bay is simple: shorten the game, chew clock, and force Jordan Love into limited-possession football. The conversation dives deep into: • Why Packers–Bears is the biggest matchup between the rivals in over a decade • Caleb Williams’ inconsistency despite national hype • Why Wyatt’s explosiveness is irreplaceable — and who must step up • How Jeff Hafley may have to adjust schematically • Why getting Jaden Reed back could completely change Green Bay’s offensive rhythm Wilde also reflects on the evolution of player toughness, the difference between “throwback guys” and modern injury management, and how the Packers must force Caleb Williams to win the game through the air. 🎧 Smart, honest Packers insight — every week with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to discuss the Packers' 31-24 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving! They discuss Jim jokingly asks if Matt LaFleur is a good head coach now, or will a certain sect of fans always be unhappy with his play calling? Also, is Jordan Love becoming a "win because of" QB, not just a "win with" QB? Lastly, will Matt LaFleur feel more emBOLDened to go for it on 4th down after the Packers converted 3/3 in what proved to be the winning edge versus Detroit?

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy after the Packers’ Thanksgiving win over the Lions to explain why Matt LaFleur’s game plan was not only aggressive — but his best of the season. Wilde breaks down how LaFleur “out-Dan-Campbelled Dan Campbell,” embracing an attack-mode mentality and committing to going for it on fourth down as part of the actual game plan, not a coin-flip decision. Wilde also highlights Jordan Love’s biggest step forward: trusting receivers on tight-window throws, especially Dontayvion Wicks, who made multiple contested plays that earlier in the season the Packers simply weren’t making. With Wicks, Watson, and others finally helping Love by executing, LaFleur’s offense looked like what it was supposed to be back in September. The segment also digs into LaFleur’s growth as a play-caller, the team’s execution-driven improvement, the “winky” timeout moment, and why the Packers’ aggressive identity must continue as they push toward the NFC North title. 🎧 Daily Packers insight, honesty, and Wisconsin sports fun — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Plus, Jason shares a hilarious Thanksgiving story from the Detroit airport.

Jim gives the love metaphor rolling into Jordan Love, asking if Packers fans are building him up too much to be like their past loves at QB. Molly also wants to know the vibe in the locker room as the Packers could end essentially end the Lions hopes to win the North, and Matt asks (via Jim) -- who's the biggest threat to the Packers winning the NFC North, and is it themselves?

Wilde explains why Reed’s limited practice makes it unlikely he’ll suit up Thursday and questions Matt LaFleur’s ongoing rotation at right guard — a strategy that’s confusing fans and players alike. The crew debates whether the Packers’ balanced, run-first approach can work on a short week against the Lions and if this game could determine the division.

First, they also talk about the shoutout that Jason & Mark Tauscher's "podcast" from Bret Bielema on Unsportsmanlike today, as he joined ahead of Saturday's Badgers game vs Illinois.

Packers insider Jason Wilde jumps on The Homer Hour to break down the Green and Gold’s growing injury report — a whopping 18 players deep.

If Jacobs can’t go, is Emmanuel Wilson ready to carry the load for an extended stretch?

They get into the Green Bay Packers and everyone's backup quarterback du jour -- Malik Willis. Should Matt LaFleur start implementing more specialized packages for Willis? Also, what does Jayden Reed's social media activity indicate about his window to return from IR, and what could he and RB Marshawn Lloyd bring to the offense when healthy? Jason also finds out that Ferris Bueller actually played a live-action version of Inspector Gadget! They wrap up getting Jason's thoughts on producer Primetime's blind date set up by Matt's matchmaking wife, Jen.
