Packers Talk

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

No team is perfect, and there will always be questions that need answers. Celebrate a huge Green Bay Packers victory with us on this week’s Packers Weekly Live! In this episode, we break down every major moment from the Packers–Bears matchup — from Jordan Love’s command of the offense to the defensive stops that shifted momentum and reminded fans why this team can be dangerous when everything clicks.

These are the games we live for as fans, so let's not forget to enjoy it! Drop your thoughts in the

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

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, for another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25: Lions Edition – and this one is pure post-Thanksgiving chaos in the best possible way.Because it’s Bears Week, he kicks things off with a full-on love letter roast to his all-time favorite Chicago Bear, Jay Cutler – the smoking, sulking, 1980s-movie-villain quarterback who gifted Packers fans a generation of bad decisions and glorious interceptions. 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. Because of that, the Green Bay Packers walked out of Ford Field with their biggest win of the season – and Chris Lempesis is in the basement Packer room to break all of it down.In this episode of LempsTalkinPack, Chris recaps the Packers’ gutsy 31-24 Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions, a game that felt like a true “circle it on the timeline” moment for the Jordan Love era and the 2025 Green Bay Packers.He starts with LaFleur, who finally coaches the way fans have begged him to: aggressively. Chris walks through every big decision – 3-for-3 on fourth down, passing up easy field goals, trusting his quarterback with the game on the line, and refusing to punt in cowardly spots against one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. LaFleur doesn’t just survive Dan Campbell’s chaos; he beats him at his own game.From there, Chris digs into Thanksgiving Jordan Love, who turns Toyotathon form

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

Fresh off a statement win over the Minnesota Vikings, Packers fans are riding high — and for good reason. Jordan Love and this young offense finally looked like a complete unit, the defense showed life at just the right time, and Lambeau had that vintage confidence we’ve all been waiting for. In this episode, we break down exactly how the Packers dominated the Vikings, what this win means heading into the stretch run, and why fans should be celebrating… but not too comfortably. With the Detroit Lions looming, there’s still plenty to analyze, question, and prepare for. We dive into the keys to Green Bay’s success, the emerging playmakers who are reshaping this season, what still needs tightening up before facing Detroit, and why this rivalry game could define the Packers’ momentum moving forward. If you’re a Packers fan who’s thrilled with the blowout but still cautiously watching the Lions ahead, this is your episode.#Packers #GoPackGo #GreenBayPackers #PackersWin #PackersPodcast #PackersWeekly #JordanLove #N

Welcome back to Packers Therapy, where Chris and Dave celebrate Thanksgiving week the only way they know how: by taking a perfectly enjoyable Packers win and dissecting it like a frog in freshman biology. The boys wade into a 23–6 takedown of Minnesota — a game that somehow managed to be both an old-school beatdown and an emotional endurance test for fans with traumatic Viking-related childhood memories.Chris admits he spent the opening drive panic-pausing his TV like a man defusing a bomb, while Dave confesses he needed multiple podcasts and maybe a Xanax to understand why the Packers insisted on running the ball 42 consecutive times like Mike Sherman possessed Matt LaFleur’s body.But it all starts to make sense (well, Packers Therapy–level sense) once Andy Herman’s theory surfaces:Jordan Love’s left shoulder is basically held together with stubbornness and painter’s tape.So Lafleur decided, “Hey, let’s win this game 1954-style.”They dive into:The Zayne Anderson Special Teams Awakening, (aka the play that br

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer Room in Milwaukee — grinning, beer in hand, and absolutely savoring Green Bay’s 23–6 beatdown of the hated Minnesota Vikings. And let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a win. This was a generational, slow-roasted, football-smoked “SKOLOL” served hot and delicious at Lambeau Field.Lemps dives right into the biggest headline of the day: the Packers defense putting on one of the greatest halves of football you will ever see from an NFL unit. How good were they? Try FOUR YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE for the Vikings in the entire second half. Four. Quattro. Vier. The number of times the Vikings fanbase has been happy since 1977.Micah Parsons took the game over like a comic-book villain. Devonte Wyatt was three yards from NFL history. Isaiah McDuffie played the game of his life. And Evan Williams delivered an A+ exclamation point — intercepting J.J. McCarthy, dragging half the defense into the end zone, and mocking the SKOL chant right in front of the Lambeau faithful. Pure art. P

Chris and Dave fire up an emergency session of Packers Therapy after realizing they forgot the one thing their listeners desperately crave each week: the Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks. Fueled by rain-soaked Wisconsin gloom, the Austrian-Missourian territorial crisis, a Mountain Dew Baja Blast, and the Freeman Family Economic Stimulus Package, our boys return to settle the great statistical anomaly of 2025 — a five-way tie in the betting lines.Yes, five degenerates somehow posted the exact same score, same picks, same tiebreaker guess, and will now be forced to share a queen-sized bed at the Packers Therapy Hotel & Casino (bring earplugs, elbow guards, and Dr. Klaus).In this bonus episode, Chris delivers injury updates (Jacobs week-to-week, Love’s shoulder angry, Quay Walker’s neck pretending it’s 80 years old), Dave rewrites the betting lines on the fly after half the players actually didn’t play, and both wonder aloud whether Lafleur has ever heard of play-action or if he just wakes up every morning and asks h

The Packers are staring down a brutal stretch of NFC North matchups, and fans everywhere are asking the same thing: Is this team actually ready for what’s coming? In this week’s No Huddle Radio, we break down the Packers–Vikings showdown with the mix of emotion, skepticism, and hard-nosed analysis that only longtime Green Bay fans can deliver.From Jordan Love’s up-and-down rhythm to a defense that still can’t decide if it wants to dominate or disappear, this episode digs into the inconsistencies holding Green Bay back — along with the flashes of promise that make you believe maybe, just maybe, this team can still make a push. We break down key injury updates, matchup concerns versus Minnesota’s pressure looks, why the run game has to show up early, and what Matt LaFleur must adjust if the Packers want to take control of the division slate instead of getting steamrolled by it.Whether you’re frustrated, hopeful, confused, or all three at once, this episode captures exactly what it feels like to be a Packers fan

The Green Bay Packers escaped the Meadowlands with a win, a dozen injuries, a quarterback who temporarily disappeared into the blue tent dimension, and a running back whose kneecap bounced off the famously cursed MetLife turf. And now? No more warm-ups. No more out-of-conference nonsense. The NFC North Gauntlet officially begins.On this week’s Cheesehead Radio, CD and Kelly fire up the mics to break down a VERY weird, VERY ugly victory over the Giants before turning their full attention to the six-week divisional street fight ahead. First up: the Minnesota Vikings, stumbling into Lambeau at 4-6, led by a quarterback who throws to the wrong team as often as the right one and a fanbase that will absolutely overrun Green Bay if you let them. After that? A Thanksgiving date with the Lions. And after that? The first-place Bears. The Packers’ playoff odds are basically an NFC North choose-your-own-adventure book.We dive deep into:• Jordan Love’s shoulder scare and how he somehow played BETTER after getting folded i

Chris Lempesis is back for another Tuesday Night Mailbag, baby, and this one is stuffed like the Giants secondary on a deep ball. Before diving into your questions, comments, concerns, rants, and assorted emotional outbursts, Lemps kicks things off with a story from way back in 2010 — a Packers/Giants game he somehow ended up attending, despite having to work early the next morning and possessing the common sense of an unsupervised toddler. The vibes were dead, the stakes were high, and that win ended up launching the greatest postseason run of our lifetimes. And yes, he and Gene recorded a podcast in the car on the way home. And yes, it is lost forever because of course it is.From there, Lemps rips open the bag and gets into everything he couldn’t fit into Sunday night’s show:• How the hell the Packers can generate pass rush when Micah Parsons isn’t doing his “destroy everything” routine• The unsung hero from Sunday whose name nobody expected to hear• Why Lucas Havrisik might be fine, might be doomed, or mig

The Packers may have come away with a win against the New York Giants… but it didn’t feel like one. In this week’s Packers Weekly, we break down an ugly victory that left fans with more questions than confidence. From offensive inconsistency to defensive breakdowns, this game revealed deeper problems that can’t be ignored heading into the second half of the season.We dig into Jordan Love’s up-and-down performance, the continued struggle to establish an offensive identity, and whether Matt LaFleur is maximizing his personnel—or simply hoping something finally clicks. On the defensive side, the frustration is boiling over again. Missed assignments, soft coverage, and another week of head-scratching decisions from Joe Barry have fans wondering if anything will truly change.We also examine key injuries, stalled drives, questionable play-calling, and the bigger structural issues holding this team back. Yes, a win is a win… but the tape tells a different story.If you’re a Packers fan looking for honest, analytical
