Packers Talk

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears rivalry never needs extra fuel—but this week, it has plenty. In this episode of No Huddle Radio, we dive headfirst into a massive NFC North showdown as the Packers prepare to take on the Bears with major questions swirling around the loss of Micah Parsons and how it could impact the game plan on both sides of the ball. This live Packers podcast breaks down what this matchup really means, why it feels bigger than just another rivalry game, and whether Green Bay can rise to the moment without one of the league’s most disruptive defensive forces. The hosts analyze how the Packers’ defense must adjust without Parsons, where the pass rush can still find answers, and whether this creates an opportunity—or a dangerous opening—against a Bears team desperate to make a statement. On offense, the discussion focuses on execution, discipline, and whether Green Bay can control the tempo and avoid the mistakes that often decide rivalry games. There’s excitement, nerves, and real belie

Life moves pretty fast.One minute, the Green Bay Packers are flying high in Denver, up two scores, feeling like a legitimate Super Bowl contender. The next? The balloon pops.On this brutal, season-tilting episode of Cheesehead Radio, we break down the Mile High collapse that didn’t just cost the Packers a game — it ripped the engine out of the season. Christian Watson leaves on a cart. Zach Tom limps off. Evan Williams goes down. Josh Whyle gets concussed. And then the gut punch: Micah Parsons tears his ACL, and with it, the entire emotional gravity of the 2025 Packers season shifts in about five minutes of real time.This isn’t just a postgame recap. This is a reckoning.We talk through:How the Packers went from controlling the Broncos to feeding directly into Denver’s defensive strengthsWhy that early deep shot changed everything — psychologically and schematicallyWhat it actually means to lose Micah Parsons, not just as a pass rusher, but as the engine of Jeff Hafley’s defenseThe difference between “next man

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room for another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25, beer in hand, emotions barely held together with duct tape — and yes, he’s still furious, still gutted, and still not remotely over what happened in Denver.He opens the show by trying to put words to the emotional swamp he’s been living in for the last 48 hours since the Broncos game — and, in classic Lemps fashion, he does it with a completely unrelated Milwaukee driving story involving a bad lane change, a road-rage maniac, and curly fries getting thrown at his car like it was a drive-thru food fight. It sounds absurd (because it is), but the point lands: the feelings are the same — disbelief, anger, helplessness, and the sick realization that even when someone apologizes, the damage still gets done.From there, Lempesis dives headfirst into the mailbag — Twitter, Blue Sky, Facebook, email, Instagram — working through the fanbase’s collective therapy session after Green Bay’s brutal loss and the seas

Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos hit Packers fans hard, and this episode of our live podcast dives straight into the frustration, fallout, and big-picture questions facing Green Bay right now. The hosts break down what went wrong in the Packers’ loss to the Broncos, from missed opportunities and stalled drives to defensive lapses that proved costly when it mattered most. It’s an honest, emotional review of a game that felt winnable — and one that now looms large as the season heads toward a critical stretch.The conversation also turns serious with the discussion of the Micah Parsons injury and how a major injury like that shifts the balance of the NFC playoff picture. What does it mean for the Packers’ path forward? Can Green Bay take advantage of a shaken conference, regroup quickly, and still control its own destiny? The hosts debate whether this team has the resilience, leadership, and urgency needed to bounce back after a tough loss and refocus on what’s next.Looking ahead, all eyes turn to the Bears.

There are losses, and then there are existential losses — the kind that don’t just beat you on the scoreboard, but sit you down afterward and ask uncomfortable questions about your relationship with professional football.This was one of those.In “Nix Picks Nixed,” Chris and Dave come off the Broncos loss sounding less like angry fans and more like two men slowly realizing they’ve spent decades emotionally investing in a sport explicitly designed to betray them. The Packers didn’t just lose to Denver — they unraveled. A game that felt controlled, winnable, even promising, collapsed under the weight of interceptions, injuries, dropped opportunities, and that familiar sinking realization: oh… this again.Jordan Love goes from efficient to frantic. A first-half passer rating north of 120 crashes into the abyss. A first-down bomb meant to be a knockout punch instead becomes the moment everything turns — momentum, confidence, and ultimately the season’s ceiling. Meanwhile, Micah Parsons’ injury doesn’t just remove a

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, soul visibly bruised, and honesty fully weaponized. Welcome to LempsTalkinPack #240: “Altitude Sickness” — the episode where the Packers didn’t just lose 34–26 in Denver… they got mugged in broad daylight, watched the getaway car circle back, and then got hit again just to make sure the lesson stuck.Because for a hot second? It looked like Green Bay was about to announce themselves at Mile High.Up 23–14 early in the third after Josh Jacobs ripped off a gorgeous 40-yard TD run, the defense forces a three-and-out, and you’re sitting there thinking: Okay. This is it. Fifth straight win. Statement game. Super Bowl contender vibes. Rare team to be feared in a sea of parity. You let yourself believe.And then — like a cheap loner car in The Mask — everything fell apart.Christian Watson goes down.Micah Parsons goes down with the dreaded non-contact knee injury (aka the sports fan version of hearing a floorboard creak in a horror movie).Zach Tom gets di

Get ready, Packers fans — this week’s No Huddle Radio dives straight into one of the most intriguing questions surrounding Green Bay’s offense heading into the matchup against the Denver Broncos: Who is more important to the Packers’ success right now — Josh Jacobs or Jordan Love? In this passionate, high-energy live podcast, the hosts break down every angle of the debate, mixing film-study insights, stats-driven analysis, and that unmistakable emotional pulse that comes with being invested in this team week after week.With the Broncos’ defense showing flashes of improvement and the Packers looking to build on their offensive identity, this episode explores how Josh Jacobs’ physical, downhill running could set the tone early — especially against a Denver front that has struggled with consistency. But at the same time, the conversation shifts to whether Jordan Love’s growth, decision-making, and big-play potential ultimately determine how far this Packers team can go. From red-zone efficiency to how Matt LaFle

The Green Bay Packers just marched through the NFC North like a snowplow with no reverse gear — Vikings flattened, Lions humbled, Bears choked out on the final play — and somehow your beloved CHR crew is still emotionally unstable about it. On Cheesehead Radio #377, we break down the Packers’ 28–21 win over Chicago, the glorious meltdown of Bears Twitter, the official notarization of the Jordan Love Era, and why Christian Watson may actually be a cyborg sent from the future to ruin NFC secondaries.CD gushes about Matt LaFleur calling three entirely different gameplans to sweep the division. Kelly revels in Schadenfreude and invents the term “hate-watching meteorology.” Jersey Al, as always, is the adult in the room and still ends up encouraging run-defense conspiracy theories.We also cover:Micah Parsons vs. EVERY HOLDING PENALTY THE NFL REFUSES TO CALLThe return of Jayden Reed and why the WR room looks like a Costco bulk pack againWhy Christian Watson is suddenly a Top-5 PFF receiverThe defensive renaissance

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, emotions barely contained, and yes — the Bears still suck. Welcome to another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25, where Lemp breaks down everything he didn’t have time to rant about on Sunday… and everything he absolutely did want to rant about again.He opens the show by ripping open the single worst wound in his Packers fandom: Super Bowl XXXII, the Denver Broncos, Terrell Davis running through uncalled holding penalties like a cheat code, and a 16-year-old Lemps discovering pain for the very first time. Almost 28 years later, he still wants to fight Ed Hochuli in a Denny’s parking lot. And now—because the Packers play Denver this week—Lemps is reliving every ounce of trauma for your entertainment. You’re welcome.From there, he tears into your questions and comments from Twitter, Blue Sky, Facebook, Instagram, and the DMs he keeps forgetting to screenshot before the app boots him out. Topics include:The "Rodgers Tax" Jordan Love is

Chris and Dave trudge back into the Therapy lounge after a Bears game so ugly it should probably be classified as a crime scene. The Packers won—technically, spiritually, debatably—but that doesn’t stop the boys from unpacking every chaotic, bone-headed, infuriating moment like two men sorting recycling while blindfolded.The episode opens with the guys trying to make sense of Jordan Love’s afternoon, where he oscillated between “competent NFL quarterback” and “guy picking plays off the stadium Wi-Fi.” They dig into the Johnson touchdown disaster—also known as the Great Slip-n-Slide of Soldier Field—and the Williams choke job that could have (should have?) ended in heartbreak if not for divine intervention or Chicago simply being Chicago.They marvel at the defense somehow both dominating and collapsing at the same time, like a soufflé that’s tall on one side and flat on the other. They revisit Luke Musgrave’s existence, wonder aloud what “scheme” even means anymore, and question whether Matt LaFleur secretly h

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand and heart still pounding, to recap the Green Bay Packers’ gritty 28–21 win over the Chicago Bears — a game where this young Packers squad showed, beyond any doubt, that they’re growing up before our very eyes .Lemps walks listeners through the emotional rollercoaster of the fourth quarter, including Chicago’s soul-draining 17-play drive, the moment Lambeau Field felt like it stopped breathing, and the exact instant where the Packers flipped the script and played true championship-level complementary football.He breaks down Jordan Love shaking off an early interception and settling into full command of the offense, firing darts, running the show, and proving he has officially grown up as this team’s QB1 . He relives Josh Jacobs’ monstrous, physics-defying third-and-two run — the one that looked dead on arrival until Jacobs cut back, broke four tackles, steamrolled a safety, and dragged Green Bay into scoring position through sheer willpower.Then

Jordan Love just walked out of Ford Field with four touchdown passes, an NFC Offensive Player of the Week award, and the season sweep over the Detroit Lions…and now the suddenly grown-up Green Bay Packers are staring down a December double-header with the division-leading Chicago Bears. On this week’s Cheesehead Radio #376, CD Angeli, Kelly Hodgson, and Jersey Al Bracco break down how a team that started the year searching for its identity might now be the most dangerous kind of contender: one that finally knows how to win ugly.The gang opens the show revisiting the Thanksgiving win in Detroit—not with a dry recap, but with one big takeaway each. Al dishes out flowers (pun absolutely intended) for Matt LaFleur’s ultra-aggressive game plan, CD breaks down how Jordan Love has shifted from sideways throws and bubble screens to slicing up defenses in the intermediate zones, and Kelly raves about Jeff Hafley’s emerging “grown-man” defense powered by Micah Parsons and a suddenly nasty pass rush. This isn’t the fine

From the trade haul the Bears blew on him to that beautiful 2–11 record vs Green Bay, Lemps gives Cuddy the kind of tribute only a true rival can.Then the bag gets ripped wide open. Chris plows through all the questions and comments he couldn’t get to on Thanksgiving night after the Packers’ 31–24 win over the Lions at Ford Field, hitting:How the Packers can possibly make up for the gut-punch loss of Devonte WyattWhy this offensive line finally looks stabilized after hanging a zero-sack day on Aidan Hutchinson and friendsJordan Love’s Toyota

Chris and Dave return from their post-Thanksgiving coma to break down a truly delightful holiday miracle: Matt LaFleur kicking Dan Campbell’s oversized, protein-powder-stabilized can all over the Motor City. It was a week of snow, nostalgia, mispronounced statistics, and the philosophical revelation that Jordan Love may, in fact, be a being in the process of becoming… elite?The guys open with snowfall measurements (naturally), deep reflections on childhood metric conversions, and a perfectly normal Ticket King ad read that may or may not sound like Chris had a minor stroke. Then it's time to relive the Packers’ Thanksgiving win — a game that somehow felt both comfortable and terrifying, in true Green Bay fashion.Chris and Dave dig into:LaFleur’s “man-up” game — Was he actually better, or did execution just magically work for once?Jordan Love’s Zen-monk quarterbacking, complete with a pulse rate of 40 and a QB rating that outlived the turkey.Dontavian Wicks’ coming-out party, strictly football-related (probabl

Matt LaFleur walked into Detroit on Thanksgiving and did the most shocking thing possible: he out-Dan-Campbelled Dan Campbell.

The Green Bay Packers didn’t just beat the Vikings — they SKOL-trolled them into a purple existential crisis — but there’s no time for gloating because the NFL schedulers decided we don’t deserve joy. It’s Thanksgiving week, and the Packers are marching straight into Ford Field for a national-TV cage match against Dan Campbell, Jahmyr Gibbs’ warp drive, and a Lions team desperate to avoid getting swept at home on their holiday.This week on Cheesehead Radio, CD, Kelly, and Jersey Al break down a defensive performance so violent it should come with a parental advisory label. Jeff Hafley’s crew held Minnesota to four total yards in the second half — yes, FOUR — forcing three straight three-and-outs, two picks, and turning J.J. McCarthy into a tackling dummy. Was this Hafley’s official “Welcome to the NFL, I am in charge now” moment? Or did the Vikings just forget that blocking is allowed?We also talk the emergence of Emanuel Wilson, who responded to Josh Jacobs’ short-week absence by running like a man actively
