The Homer Hour

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga agree on the biggest takeaway from Week 1: the Packers cannot allow Jordan Love to take another beating like that. Bulaga calls Love’s performance phenomenal considering he was hit 18 times and explains how much more dangerous Green Bay’s offense could become if the protection improves even slightly. The guys expect changes at guard and debate whether Jagger Burton should have gotten an opportunity against Minnesota before the protection completely collapsed. Jason Wilde joins Homer and Bulaga to examine what Green Bay’s offensive line could actually look like against the Jets. Wilde believes Jagger Burton could replace Donovan Jennings if Aaron Banks remains unavailable, while Jacob Monk may get another opportunity at right guard. The guys question why Burton received so much first-team work during training camp only to be passed over in Week 1 and whether different opinions inside the coaching staff contributed to the decision. Plus, Bulaga explains why Sunday’s game is already enormous for Green Bay. Another loss would extend the Packers’ skid and raise serious questions about whether a talented roster can actually translate that talent into wins. For Homer and Bulaga, everything starts with one priority: keep No. 10 upright.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True gets the latest from Jason Wilde on how the Packers could respond to their Week 1 offensive-line disaster. Aaron Banks returned to practice on a limited basis, but Wilde says Green Bay could turn to Jagger Burton at left guard and even move Anthony Belton back to right guard. With the Jets looming, Wilde explains why an 0-2 start would turn the volume way up on Matt LaFleur and the Packers. Wilde also shares what he learned from Jordan Love and Jayden Reed about Love’s unusual ability to make accurate throws while fading away from pressure. Reed compares it to Kobe Bryant’s fadeaway jumper, and Wilde explains why that unconventional skill became a lifesaver with Love constantly running for his life against Minnesota. Plus, why didn’t Green Bay use screens to slow down the Vikings’ relentless pass rush? Tim Van Voren joins the show to turn toward the Brewers after their fourth straight NL Central title. TVV explains why he feels better about Milwaukee’s World Series chances than he did a year ago, how the first-round bye could allow the Brewers to line up Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson atop their playoff rotation and why Robert Gasser and Dustin May could become crucial October arms.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Jason Wilde continue dissecting the Packers’ collapse in Minnesota and Matt LaFleur’s decision to take three points off the board. Wilde believes LaFleur’s offseason obsession with “finishing” may have actually influenced him to become overly aggressive on fourth-and-one. With Green Bay’s defense controlling Carson Wentz and the crowd quiet, Wilde argues that finishing the game meant understanding the situation and protecting an eight-point lead, not simply going for the knockout punch. Wilde also provides new insight into Green Bay’s offensive line decisions, including why Donovan Jennings surprisingly started over rookie Jagger Burton despite Burton receiving most of the first-team work during Aaron Banks’ training camp absences. Wilde wouldn’t be surprised if Burton gets the next opportunity at left guard or if Anthony Belton begins competing with Jacob Monk at right guard as the Packers search for answers before facing the Jets. Plus, Homer opens the phones with a simple rule: you get 30 seconds to fix the Packers. Fans unload on LaFleur’s adjustments, the offensive line, Green Bay’s repeated late-game collapses and whether the head coach needs someone helping him manage games.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga try to explain how the Packers went from controlling Minnesota for three quarters to completely collapsing in the fourth. Bulaga argues the warning signs were there all afternoon, with Jordan Love repeatedly escaping pressure and making spectacular plays despite shaky protection. He explains why Green Bay failed to properly adjust with screens, draws and quick throws before the pressure finally overwhelmed the offense. Then surprise guest TJ Lang joins his former teammate for an offensive-line summit. Lang and Bulaga discuss what they believe is missing from the current Packers line, including the toughness, attitude and accountability their units played with. Lang explains why protecting Jordan Love goes beyond simply blocking and why offensive linemen need to make opponents understand there are consequences for taking shots at their quarterback. He also delivers a message directly to Green Bay’s offensive line about the responsibility that comes with wearing the Packers helmet.

Alex Strouf fills in for Steve “Homer” True alongside Gary Ellerson on The Homer Hour as the guys try to figure out just how good the Packers can actually be in 2026. Strouf believes Green Bay’s ceiling could be among the best teams in football, but questions surrounding the offensive line, Josh Jacobs’ absence, Micah Parsons’ injury and a brand-new defense leave plenty of uncertainty. Gary agrees and wonders whether the Packers have actually fixed the problems that contributed to their five-game losing streak to end last season. Without Jacobs, Gary believes Sunday’s offense falls heavily on Jordan Love and Green Bay’s pass catchers. The guys break down what Marshawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Caleb Johnson can provide in the backfield and why the Packers need to stop rotating offensive linemen and finally establish continuity up front. Plus, Gary explains why Minnesota is actually the NFC North team that scares him most and predicts a wild 35-28 Packers win, with Love needing to carry the offense against Brian Flores and the Vikings.
