The Green Bay Packers are BACK! On this episode of Packers Weekly, Myles Teteak and Tim Hamilton celebrate a statement victory over the Chicago Bears and turn their attention to a crucial showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.

Can Jordan Love and the Packers offense take advantage of Dallas' defensive weaknesses? And can Green Bay's pass rush pressure Prescott while the secondary handles a dangerous group of playmakers?Plus, the guys discuss the

Chris and Dave open with apologies, because two guys who spent five weeks declaring this team dead in the water just watched it hang 31 points on the Chicago Bears. Jordan Love posted a 137.5 passer rating and 367 yards, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden looked like a top-five tandem, Tucker Kraft finally looked like Tucker Kraft, and three new offensive linemen off the street changed everything. The guys are convinced the writers of this season are on something, and neither of them trusts that this episode wasn’t just a flashback.They enjoy it differently, though. One of them walks through a single second-quarter drive play by play as proof that short passes to the backs are the entire blueprint, and makes the contrarian case that getting Josh Jacobs back might actually hurt by tempting everyone to keep running into a wall. The other is thrilled about the long balls but would still rather see eight-yard throws in stride than drop on back and throw that thing a mile. They do agree the defense is finally doi

Lemps Talkin' Pack is breaking down a statement victory for the Green Bay Packers — and an absolutely ELITE performance from Jordan Love! The Packers demolished their archrival Chicago Bears 31-7 at Lambeau Field, delivering their most impressive performance of the season and giving Packer Nation plenty of reasons to believe this team is ready to take off.Chris Lempicis dives into why Jordan Love looked every bit like a top-tier NFL quarterback, completing 81% of his passes for 367 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. With Christian Watson exploding for two long touchdown receptions, Matthew Golden making big plays, and Tucker Kraft getting involved, is it time for Matt LaFleur to fully embrace this offense's downfield passing identity?Plus, the Packers defense absolutely smothered Chicago, forcing FIVE turnovers and delivering a dominant performance against Ben Johnson's offense. Xavier McKinney came up with two interceptions, while the pass rush consistently made life miserable for the Bears.Bu

On this episode of No Huddle Radio, Gil Martin and Sean Tehan break down the challenges facing Green Bay as the Packers prepare to host the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.The biggest concern? The season-ending Achilles injury to linebacker Edgerrin Cooper. How can new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon replace one of Green Bay's most versatile defensive playmakers? We explore the potential roles of Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper, plus how Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, and the Packers' secondary could help fill the void.On the other side of the ball, can Jordan Love exploit Chicago's defensive weaknesses? We break down the offensive line's struggles, the importance of protecting Love, and the matchups that could determine this NFC North showdown. With Chicago's quarterback situation creating another wrinkle, Green Bay has an opportunity—but the Packers will need to execute

Packers vs. Bears: Playoff Window Open (to Debate) | Cheesehead Radio #393 finds the Green Bay Packers at 2–2 after a tense 17–14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Jordan Love still under scrutiny, Edgerrin Cooper lost for the season and Chicago heading to Lambeau Field. The playoff window is supposedly open. Whether anyone likes the view is another matter.C.D. Angeli, Jersey Al Bracco and Kelly Hodgson debate a victory that inspired considerably more arguing than celebrating. Is Green Bay making progress, or have we quietly downgraded our expectations from championship contention to successfully completing a Sunday?The offensive line finally gives Love some breathing room, but his late interception brings mechanics and decision-making back under the microscope. The running game offers occasional signs of life, while the penalties remain impressively committed to their weekly routine. Laken Tomlinson and Kevin Zeitler complicate the question of who deserves to start, and Savion Williams’ return raises a

Lemps Talkin' Pack dives deep into the latest Green Bay Packers storylines following the 17-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — but there’s plenty to talk about beyond the final score. The biggest concern is the devastating season-ending Achilles injury to Edrin Cooper. How does Green Bay replace one of its most important young defensive players, especially with Micah Parsons still sidelined?Chris Lempesis also breaks down what the Packers showed against Tampa Bay, where the defense still needs improvement, and why the team simply cannot afford to lose many more key players.Then the focus turns to the Chicago Bears and a massive NFC North showdown at Lambeau Field. Chicago’s rushing attack has been one of the NFL’s best, and Ben Johnson has his offense playing a physical brand of football that could present a major problem for Green Bay. Can the Packers slow down the Bears' ground game? Can Jordan Love and the offense take advantage of Chicago's defense? And could a win help ease some of the pressure on Ma

Packers Weekly is breaking down the latest Green Bay Packers news, a hard-fought victory, and everything surrounding a huge Bears Week matchup. The Packers are 2-2, but the story is far from simple — especially after losing Edgerrin Cooper for the season.With the Bears coming to town without Caleb Williams, the message is clear: no excuses. Both teams are dealing with major injuries, and this rivalry game is shaping up to be a classic NFC North battle where the Packers have a chance to get back on track and push their season in the right direction.Myles Teteak and Tim Hamilton dig into the Packers' latest win, the impact of losing Cooper, the challenges facing Jonathan Gannon's defense, and the players who now need to step up. They also examine Jordan Love's encouraging play, the offense's potential to improve, the running game, and why this Packers team still has plenty of room to grow.Can Green Bay take advantage of a Bears team without its starting quarterback? Can the defense overcome another major injury

Chris and Dave have a Packers win to talk about, and neither one of them sounds especially victorious. Green Bay beat Tampa Bay by a field goal to climb back to 2 and 2, and spent most of the afternoon doing everything in its power to lose. Ten penalties. Two fumbles. A turnover in the red zone. Then Cooper went down with an Achilles, and a game that should have felt like relief turned into another entry on the injury ledger alongside Micah Parsons, Jayden Reed and ZBB. The guys open on the cruelty of a sport where the team that stays healthiest wins, and the growing sense that the Packers aren't going to be that team.Where they split is on what it all means. One side of the table still sees the talent on this roster and blames the trainer's room more than the war room, pointing to a 2023 season that started 3 and 6 and ended with a thrashing of Dallas. The other side is stuck on the decisions, the commitment to a run game that doesn't exist, the wasted downs chucking it forty yards on third and eight, and th

On this episode of Lemps Talkin’ Pack, the Green Bay Packers are coming off a 17-14 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — but was it really a win worth celebrating? Chris Lempesis breaks down a bizarre Packers victory that somehow produced plenty of reasons for optimism AND concern.Green Bay repeatedly left points on the table, committed 10 penalties for 68 yards, and made enough costly mistakes to turn what could have been a comfortable victory into a nail-biter. Jordan Love and the offense had opportunities, but miscues and missed chances kept Tampa Bay in the game. The defense ultimately showed some real backbone, particularly when it mattered most.And then there’s the devastating news surrounding linebacker Edgerrin Cooper. His apparent Achilles injury could cost him the rest of the season, adding another major blow to a Packers team already dealing with significant injuries. With Micah Parsons still not ready to return, Green Bay’s defensive ceiling suddenly looks very different.So where does this

No Huddle Radio dives deep into the biggest questions facing the Green Bay Packers as they prepare to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — and all eyes are on a dramatically revamped offensive line. After a disastrous performance against the Atlanta Falcons, the Packers wasted no time making changes, adding veterans Lakin Tomlinson, Kevin Zeitler and Mekhi Becton in an effort to stabilize the unit and protect Jordan Love.But will the new-look offensive line be ready in time? Tomlinson appears set to step into the starting lineup against Tampa, while Zeitler and Becton could take more time to get fully integrated.

Plus, a Packers vs. Buccaneers preview, injury updates and a spirited disagreement over those Lambeau Field boos.Apparently, the offensive line requires assembly after purchase. Unfortunately, Jordan Love has already been using it.C.D. Angeli, Jersey Al Bracco and Kelly Hodgson uncover the numbers behind the Atlanta embarrassment: one sack hiding relentless pressure, eight handoffs producing seventeen yards and an entire second quarter without an earned first down. Was the defense exhausted, exposed or contributing its own special brand of confusion? We have opinions. They do not all match.Meanwhile, Laken Tomlinson, Mekhi Becton and Kevin Zeitler arrive to help repair a unit the organization thought it had figured out. Is this smart damage control, failed p

Lemps Talkin' Pack takes a deep dive into the latest Green Bay Packers fallout following the ugly loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and this episode has plenty to unpack. Chris Lempesis opens the mailbag to tackle the biggest questions surrounding a Packers team that suddenly looks completely out of answers.Can the Packers’ historically bad offensive line play actually be fixed? What do the additions of Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton mean for Jordan Love and the offense? Is Brian Gutekunst finally making the moves this roster needs, and could more reinforcements be coming? Chris also tackles the growing questions surrounding Matt LaFleur, his coaching staff, Ed Policy, the team’s lack of identity, penalties, time of possession and the alarming lack of energy against Atlanta.Plus, Chris discusses Jordan Love’s accuracy issues, Micah Parsons and the pressure surrounding Green Bay’s championship window, and whether the upcoming road game against Tampa Bay can become a much-needed “get-better” game.And, of course, t

Packers Weekly dives deep into the biggest concerns surrounding the Green Bay Packers after a brutal loss to the Atlanta Falcons—and the questions are getting harder to ignore. With the offensive line struggling badly, injuries piling up, and the team failing to respond when adversity hits, are the Packers running out of excuses?Myles Teteak and Tim Hamilton break down the ugly Falcons performance and examine just how much blame should be shared across the organization.

Is there a disconnect between the front office and coaching staff? And can the Packers actually turn things around before the season slips away?Plus, they look ahead

hris and Dave convene on a Saturday morning, which tells you how long it took to process a Thursday night that ended three touchdowns underwater against Atlanta. The Packers are 1 and 2, the offensive line is setting records nobody wants, and the ESPN cameras found every fan in Lambeau with their head in their hands. Even the team physician has upgraded this season from horror to slasher. The guys open by admitting their preseason predictions already look ridiculous, then spend a long stretch asking bigger questions than one game deserves: LaFleur versus McCarthy, Gutekunst versus Thompson, and whether the whole philosophy that built this roster needs to go.Neither of them is defending anybody, but they get there differently. One side of the table admires the scheme and the play design while doubting the man has the presence to lead a locker room. The other side thinks the problem isn't soft, it's dumb, and lays out exactly which decisions a paying customer shouldn't have to watch twice. There's real affectio

Lemps Talkin' Pack breaks down a brutal night for the Green Bay Packers after Atlanta walked into Lambeau Field and delivered a stunning 35-14 beatdown on Thursday Night Football. The Packers’ home opener turned into a nightmare, and Chris Lempicis isn't holding back.Why did Green Bay look so lifeless against the Falcons? What happened to an offensive line that continues to struggle? And after three games, are Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst failing to get enough out of this roster? This episode dives into the ugly details, including the Packers’ defensive struggles, offensive line issues, player development concerns, and the alarming lack of intensity against an Atlanta team that desperately needed a win.Chris also reacts to the boos raining down at Lambeau Field, examines the bigger picture surrounding the Packers, and discusses why this loss feels like much more than just another early-season defeat.If you're trying to make sense of one of the most frustrating Green Bay Packers performances in recent memo

No Huddle Radio takes a deep dive into the Green Bay Packers’ first win of the season — a dramatic 20-17 overtime victory over the New York Jets — and asks the big question: Was this win actually encouraging, or did it expose even more problems for Green Bay?Gil Martin and Sean Tehan break down what the victory means for a Packers team that desperately needed to snap its losing streak. Coming back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and finally finishing a game were positives, but the victory certainly wasn’t pretty. Green Bay struggled to generate offense, committed far too many penalties and suffered another wave of offensive-line injuries.Just how serious has the Packers’ O-line problem become? With Zach Bako-Bewele and Aaron Banks ruled out against Atlanta, Green Bay faces major questions about its offensive-line depth heading into Thursday night’s home opener.The show also examines encouraging performances from Lucas Van Ness, Edgerrin Cooper and Evan Williams, Jordan Love’s performance and whether th

Packers Win In OT: Special Teams, Expensive Problems | Cheesehead Radio #391 tackles the Green Bay Packers’ overtime victory over the New York Jets, Jordan Love’s struggling offense, Skyy Moore’s special teams heroics and a mounting injury list ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons.The Packers escaped New York with a win. Their expensive offense escaped with considerably less dignity.C.D. Angeli, Jersey Al Bracco and Kelly Hodgson unpack a game in which Green Bay managed just 199 yards of offense, put the football on the ground five times and required the supposedly supporting cast to carry the production. Skyy Moore delivered the field position. Trey Smack delivered the finish. Daniel Whelan continued making punting look like a perfectly respectable offensive strategy.We give Jonathan Gannon’s defense its flowers, celebrate Lukas Van Ness’s breakthrough and examine whether rookie Jager Burton is helping an unsettled offensive line find some backbone. Sean Rhyan and Burton also deliver

Packers Weekly breaks down the latest Green Bay Packers win and why the conversation around this team may have just changed. After finally snapping the six-game losing streak, the Packers showed plenty of flaws — but they also revealed some reasons for optimism that could have a major impact on the rest of the season.The offensive line remains the biggest concern. Injuries have forced Green Bay into a constant game of musical chairs, with questions at tackle and guard and the need to find some stability in front of Jordan Love. Love himself wasn't at his best against the Jets, but the fact that the Packers still found a way to win despite his struggles, protection problems and an inconsistent running game is significant.On the other side of the ball, things are looking much more encouraging. Lucas Van Ness delivered a breakout performance, Edgerrin Cooper continues to make plays all over the field, and Dennis Sutton is showing why the Packers' pass rush could be a major strength — even before Micah Parsons re
