The conversation gets real on Jen, Gabe & Chewy as the crew breaks down whether the Packers’ 28–21 win over Chicago proves Green Bay is now a legitimate Super Bowl contender. With the NFC filled with flawed teams — from the Eagles unraveling to Detroit sliding and Tampa fading — the hosts debate whether the Packers’ steady rise puts them near the top of the conference. The show digs into the Jordan Love debate, comparing his first 45 starts to Aaron Rodgers’ numbers (shockingly similar), discussing whether he belongs in the MVP conversation, and questioning whether Micah Parsons might actually be the Packers’ most valuable player. They also explore: • Why fans hesitate to call the Packers “very good” • Which NFC teams can actually win a Super Bowl • Why Green Bay looks more complete than Seattle or Detroit • Why the next three games (Broncos–Bears–Ravens) could swing the season And as Denver looms, the crew warns of a classic trap game: the Packers haven’t won a road AFC game in years, and Mile High remains one of the toughest environments in football. 🎧 Packers confidence check, MVP arguments, NFC landscape chaos — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

The MVP conversation around Jordan Love is heating up — but is he even the most valuable player on the Packers? Jen, Gabe & Chewy dig into the debate, making the case for Micah Parsons as the true engine of Green Bay’s success. From his game-changing pass-rush influence to how he elevates the entire defense, the crew weighs whether Parsons holds more actual value than the Packer quarterback. The group also breaks down Love’s rising national profile, how his efficiency and big-game performances are boosting his MVP case, and why upcoming showdowns — especially against Buffalo and Baltimore — could swing the award race. With the Packers heading to Denver next, the crew reviews Green Bay’s ugly history vs. the AFC West, including four straight AFC road losses and only one win in Denver since 1978. They discuss altitude, noise, the mental games of Mile High, and why this matchup is crucial in the tight NFC North race. Additional topics include: • Why quarterback play across the NFL is down this season • The unofficial rule that MVPs must come from top-seeded teams • Statistical comparisons between Jordan Love’s first 45 starts and Aaron Rodgers’ • Why losing in Denver could crush Love’s MVP momentum • How the Bears’ last performance actually made next week more dangerous 🎧 Packers insight, MVP debates, and big-game pressure — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

It’s a Victory Monday, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy react to the Packers’ 28–21 win over the Bears — a win that pushes Green Bay into first place in the NFC North and drops Chicago from the #1 seed in the conference to the #7 seed in a single afternoon. The crew reviews every major moment of the game, including three explosive Packers touchdowns and how Green Bay generated big plays despite a quiet first half outside of those highlights. They also tackle the growing debate: Are the Packers very good? And are the Bears actually good? Christian Watson continues his breakout stretch, with veteran-level adjustments on his routes and electric footwork that show how far he’s come. The hosts break down: • Watson’s physical dominance and slant-game explosion • Why he’s becoming Jordan Love’s most dangerous weapon • Why LaFleur must keep Watson, Reed, and Wicks on the field together They also analyze how the Bears’ coaching and run game make them a legitimate threat, what Ben Johnson is already doing at an elite level, and how Green Bay stacks up against teams like Seattle, the Rams, and Denver.

It’s a Victory Monday after the Packers’ 28–21 win over the Bears, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down every angle of Green Bay’s huge divisional victory. They dive into Jordan Love’s downfield resurgence, including multiple explosive touchdowns and his impressive bounce-back after a bizarre interception. The crew analyzes why the defense faded in the second half — from Chicago’s long, grinding drives to Green Bay’s two three-and-outs that left the defense exhausted. They also debate whether Matt LaFleur actually got conservative or whether execution simply fell apart. Of course, no Packers Monday is complete without officiating drama: • Keyshawn Nixon’s unsportsmanlike penalty and what the refs missed on the play • Whether the overturned Bears interception made any sense • Why Micah Parsons still doesn’t draw holding calls, and LaFleur’s frustration with it The crew also discusses Chicago’s fight, whether the Bears are actually good, the importance of the upcoming Broncos game, and how many wins the Packers realistically need to secure the NFC North. 🎧 Packers reaction, rivalry energy, and Monday mayhem — every weekday morning on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

On hour one of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Packers–Bears week officially comes alive as Micah Parsons claims the Bears “disrespected” him, leaving everyone wondering what sparked it. Chewy breaks down how real rivalries feel inside an NFL locker room and why coaching mind games matter. The crew reacts to Ben Johnson’s offseason jab at Matt LaFleur, how Adam Stenavich took it personally, and what that means heading into Sunday. Plus, why the Packers still haven’t found true swagger, how this rivalry compares to the 90s, and whether the Bears’ run game + culture shift should worry Green Bay fans.
In hour two of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew gets you ready for Packers–Bears at Lambeau by asking a big question: who’s the better coach right now — Matt LaFleur or Ben Johnson? Chewy breaks down why coaching, aggressiveness, and swagger will decide this rivalry, while Gabe points to the Bears’ statement win over the Eagles and what that does for their confidence and culture. They dive into Jordan Love’s personality and leadership style, whether the Packers have that true “swagger game” yet, and how Green Bay should attack Chicago over the next two matchups. Plus, classic show chaos with producer stories, Chewy’s “grinder” claims, and a strong Week in ReChu performance from the big guy.
The Giannis drama is officially back. Jen, Gabe & Chewy spend the morning unpacking Shams’ report that Giannis and his agent have had conversations with the Bucks about his future, and why this time feels different. Doc Rivers fired back pregame, insisting Giannis “has never asked for a trade,” but the crew digs into why his denial doesn’t directly address the report — and how NBA agents strategically leak information to create pressure. They compare this saga to past superstar situations, including Aaron Rodgers’ yearly theatrics. The show also hits the next major tension point: Giannis’ injury. After a scary non-contact fall, Doc says the Bucks believe it’s not an Achilles tear — but a calf strain still means missed games, and the Bucks are just 1–5 without Giannis this season. If the team continues to slip, does that increase the risk of losing him? The crew also debates: • Why Giannis isn’t shutting the rumors down • Whether his silence signals frustration • How teammates handled the noise • Why fans are starting to turn on the situation • And whether Giannis' preferred destination (if he ever leaves) has been hiding in plain sight Plus — classic JGC chaos: Chewy rants about liars, the psychology of passive-aggressive Post-It notes, and whether your friend dumping a bottle of wine on your stairs is grounds for losing house-watering privileges. 🎧 Smart NBA talk, Wisconsin humor, and brutally honest Giannis discussion — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy dive deep into the Packers’ NFC North path and why Sunday’s matchup with the Bears carries enormous playoff implications. Despite Chicago sitting at the top of the conference, the crew breaks down why the Bears might be more smoke-and-mirrors, leading the NFL in turnovers but still ranking 25th in points allowed. The group debates whether Green Bay can confidently beat Chicago, why splitting the two matchups would put the Packers behind in the division, and why the Baltimore game may ultimately decide the entire season. They run through every possible outcome: Packers sweeping the Bears, splitting, Lions winning out, and three-way 11-win scenarios. They also discuss: • How many losses Green Bay can afford and still win the NFC North • Whether Detroit is officially out of the race • Why Chicago’s run game — not Caleb Williams — is the true threat • Why the Packers’ inconsistencies make projecting the stretch run nearly impossible • How playoff seeding could match Green Bay with San Francisco, Seattle, or Philadelphia And in true JGC fashion, the episode includes great detours — from toilet-repair debates to the weirdest accidental inventions of all time. 🎧 Packers logic, rivalry tension, and Wisconsin morning chaos — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

It’s a massive Packers–Bears week, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy kick things off debating whether this is the most meaningful matchup between the rivals in a decade. With Chicago suddenly sitting atop the NFC and the Packers surging behind recent wins, both teams have everything to play for — and the NFC North could swing dramatically in the next two weeks. The crew discusses how Bears coach Ben Johnson has lived up to the hype, becoming the hottest name in the NFL coaching carousel, and whether his success is sustainable. They also examine why Jeff Hafley’s name is starting to circulate, what makes certain coordinators attractive head-coaching candidates, and how often young offensive minds truly pan out.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy dive deep into the Packers’ wide receiver identity as Green Bay heads into a massive matchup with Chicago. With Jaden Reed expected back and the WR room healthier than it has been in weeks, the crew debates Romeo Dobbs’ place in the offense, whether he’s simply a “nice” player or a replaceable possession receiver, and why Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson may deserve more of the offensive focus. They also question what’s going on with Matthew Golden, who was hyped all offseason but has barely been used during the regular season. Is it injuries? Coaching decisions? Or the Packers learning every lesson the hard way? From there, the conversation shifts to the Bears matchup: • Why Green Bay has more on the line than Chicago • How the Bears’ run game is the only path to beating the Packers • Why the outcome may hinge on whether Green Bay plays with the swagger it found on Thanksgiving Plus: fantasy football drama between Gabe and Josh, snow-removal politics, Packers playoff scenarios, and whether Marshawn Lloyd will ever actually be activated. 🎧 Insightful, funny, and fully Packers — every weekday morning on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

It’s one of the biggest Packers–Bears matchups in years, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy break down why Green Bay has far more at stake than Chicago. The Bears have already exceeded expectations and can call this season a success with a playoff berth — but the Packers are chasing division titles, home playoff games, and long-term validation in the Jordan Love era. The crew examines the NFC North race, whether the Packers should focus solely on winning the division or dream bigger, and how the Bears’ dominant 281-yard rushing performance against Philadelphia raises major concerns for Green Bay’s run defense. They also discuss Caleb Williams’ inconsistency, how much credit Ben Johnson deserves for Chicago’s offensive turnaround, and why the LaFleur–Ben Johnson dynamic suddenly feels like one of the most interesting coaching matchups in the NFL. Plus — fantasy football drama between Gabe and Josh, Chewy’s paranoia at restaurants, long-winded snow-removal debates, and much-needed laughs amid rivalry week tension. 🎧 Smart football talk, rivalry energy, and classic Jen–Gabe–Chewy chaos — every weekday on ESPN Milwaukee.

Jen, Gabe & Chewy dive into what feels like the biggest Packers–Bears showdown in a decade. With Chicago sitting atop the NFC and Green Bay right behind them, Sunday’s rivalry game will decide first place in the NFC North and potentially shift the entire playoff bracket. The crew debates which team has more on the line — and they agree it’s the Packers, who have higher expectations, more invested in Matt LaFleur’s program, and a clearer path to a home playoff game if they take care of business. They also break down why the Bears’ run game is a major concern, how Caleb Williams remains inconsistent despite Chicago’s success, and why Ben Johnson vs. Matt LaFleur might be the real coaching battle to watch. On the Packers’ side, run-defense struggles, Devonte Wyatt’s injury, and Jeff Hafley’s adjustments take center stage. But if Green Bay wants to win, they may simply need to let Jordan Love throw — especially if the Bears shorten the game with long, grinding drives. The hour also includes: • Whether the division title or the No. 1 seed should be Green Bay’s goal • Why this Bears team is more legitimate than past versions • How inconsistencies have defined the Packers season so far • Why this week could be a “prove-it” moment for the entire NFC North 🎧 Packers insight, rivalry tension, and smart football breakdowns — every weekday on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

It’s Packers–Bears week, and this one feels different. Jen, Gabe & Chewy explain why Sunday’s game is the biggest Packers–Bears matchup since 2013, with both teams above .500 this late in a season for the first time since 1932. With first place in the NFC North on the line, the crew breaks down what Green Bay must do to win the division, why Chicago’s unexpected surge changes the equation, and how the Packers’ biggest weakness — defending the run — will be tested by a Bears offense that just rushed for 281 yards against the Eagles. They also tackle the Packers’ biggest challenge all season: inconsistency. Big wins over Detroit and Minnesota mean nothing if Green Bay lays an egg this weekend. The group debates whether Jordan Love is ready to carry the offense if the Bears shorten the game, and whether Matt LaFleur can trust his QB to win late if time of possession turns lopsided again. Plus — snow shoveling chaos, Wisconsin winter misery, neighborhood drama, and why Chewy insists on warming up his diesel truck for 45 minutes as a personal protest. 🎧 Jen, Gabe & Chewy deliver daily Packers talk, rivalry energy, humor, and relatable Wisconsin life — only on ESPN Milwaukee.

Packers–Bears week has arrived, and Jen, Gabe & Chewy agree: this is the biggest matchup between the two rivals in at least ten years.

The crew breaks down Green Bay’s path to winning the division, why this matchup carries so much weight, and how the Packers’ biggest enemy remains their own inconsistency. They discuss the Bears’ run-heavy success, how Caleb Williams factors in, and why the Packers’ defensive issues against the run make this matchup especially dangerous. They also dive into the playoff math, the importance of stacking wins after beating Detroit and Minnesota, and whether Green Bay should aim higher than just winning the division. 🎧 Daily Packers insight, humor, and real NFC North energy — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

The crew breaks down Jordan Love’s four-touchdown performance, how he trusted his receivers even in tight coverage, and why the explosive emergence of Dontayvion Wicks might be a turning point for the offense. Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs also stepped up, giving Love multiple reliable options for the first time this year.
