Packers Talk

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. And standing in their way is a formidable Buccaneers defensive front featuring Vita Vea.The show also breaks down the season-ending injuries to Zach Bako-Bewele and Jaden Reed, what Reed's absence means for the Packers receiving corps, the latest injury report, and why fixing the offensive line could determine just how good this Green Bay offense can become.Subscribe to the channel for more Green Bay P

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 the offensive line crisis the result of injuries and bad luck, or was there simply no adequate contingency plan? The guys discuss the decisions surrounding Zach Tom, Aaron Banks, Anthony Belton and the team's desperate need for reinforcements.They also dig into the growing questions surrounding Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst, coaching, roster construction and player development. 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

Chris and Dave are back in their usual spots, one in the heart of Wisconsin and one under the Arch, to sort through a win that was equal parts relief and horror movie. The Packers slogged past the Jets in overtime in the rain, lost key players before the first drive was over, drew flags by the bucketful, and somehow walked out 1 and 1. It was ugly. It counts. The guys spend the hour figuring out which of those matters more.Where they land depends on who you ask. Chris sees a defense and special teams finally worth trusting, an offense being held back by a line that never seems to develop, and officials who treated the game like a flag throwing contest. Dave is less focused on the flags and more fixated on the play calling, convinced a little imagination could unlock this offense overnight, and he's quietly coming around on a certain edge rusher he spent three years doubting. They agree on more than they let on, which only makes the arguing more fun.The betting lines return with a new champion checking into th

Lemps Talkin' Pack is back breaking down a wild Green Bay Packers victory that nobody is going to call pretty — but after the losing streak, who cares? The Packers escaped the New York Jets 20-17 in overtime at MetLife Stadium, and Chris Lempisis dives into everything that made this game such an emotional roller coaster.From Lucas Van Ness putting together the best game of his career to Edgerrin Cooper flying all over the field, Green Bay's defense finally stepped up when the offense needed help. The special teams were just as important, with Skyy Moore providing huge returns, Daniel Whelan repeatedly flipping field position and rookie Trey Smack drilling the game-winning field goal.But there are still plenty of concerns. The Packers committed an alarming number of penalties, the offense struggled to find consistency, Matt LaFleur's play calling comes under plenty of scrutiny, and Green Bay suffered several significant injuries — including to Jaden Reed and Zach Tom.Was this a sign of progress or simply a win

No Huddle Radio dives deep into the biggest questions facing the Green Bay Packers after a frustrating season opener—and there’s plenty to discuss. How can the Packers fix an offensive line that allowed Jordan Love to be sacked four times and hit 15 times? And perhaps even more importantly, how does Green Bay finally learn how to finish games?Gil Martin and Sean Tien break down the offensive line disaster, including the communication problems, pass protection breakdowns and potential personnel changes involving Aaron Banks and Anthony Belton. The discussion also examines how the Packers can use quicker passes, RPOs, screens and more multiple-tight-end formations to help protect Love.Then, the focus turns to Green Bay’s troubling habit of blowing double-digit leads. After taking a 22-10 lead against Minnesota before surrendering 29 unanswered points, what has to change? The hosts discuss red-zone struggles, fourth-down decisions, play-calling and the need to control the football when protecting a lead.Plus, ge

Packers Wind Down Early: Fourth Quarter, Zero Backbone | Cheesehead Radio #389 takes on Green Bay’s collapse against the Vikings, Matt LaFleur’s accountability problem and Jordan Love’s disappearing protection. Plus injuries, Jets prep and Hot Pockets. Fourth quarter sold separately.The Green Bay Packers were cruising. Then they performed their signature finishing move: becoming completely unrecognizable when it mattered most. A 22–10 lead turned into a 39–22 loss to Minnesota, and Cheesehead Radio is here to inspect the wreckage—with considerably more resistance than the Packers offered in the fourth quarter.We begin with a checklist of misery: the points taken off the board, the failed fourth-down sneak, the penalties that kept Minnesota alive and the protection breakdowns that left Jordan Love navigating rush-hour traffic without a vehicle. Christian Watson supplied the fireworks, but an offense cannot survive on highlight reels alone. How does so much explosive potential produce so little when a game need

Lemps Talkin’ Pack is back with another Green Bay Packers mailbag, and this one comes after another painful loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

From Jordan Love and the offense to the defense, turnovers, questionable moments against Minnesota and the continued debate surrounding Matt LaFleur, Chris takes on the topics Packers fans are talking about most.Why does this team keep repeating the same mistakes? What should Packers fans make of the collapse in Minneapolis? And how much responsibility belongs on the coaching staff versus the players?Join Chris as he empties the bag and answers your questio

Week 1 is in the books and the Packers are already in the shop. Chris and Dave open with a two word verdict from the team chaplain and spend the next hour deciding whether this is fixable or just familiar.Dave admits he didn't watch it live and makes a surprisingly strong case for why. Chris breaks down the fourth quarter sequence that flipped US Bank Stadium, including a Matt LaFleur decision that wiped points off the board, a Jordan Love sneak that never had a chance, and a penalty parade the NFL Network was too embarrassed to show.There were bright spots. The defense held up under Jeff Hafley's replacement. Trey Smack went boom from fifty nine. Christian Watson put up a monster line and Keisean Nixon picked a very convenient week to look like a CB1. Then it's Week 2 betting lines, a hotel casino guest who may need a fake ID, and two guys who came into September together and are now staring at very different seasons.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapyPayPal: Packerstherapy@yahoo.c

Packers Weekly is breaking down a brutal Green Bay Packers loss to the Vikings — and after another collapse that looks eerily familiar, something HAS to change. Myles Teteak and Tim Hamilton dive deep into the biggest problems facing the Packers after Week 1, including an offensive line that simply could not handle Brian Flores and Minnesota’s relentless blitz pressure.Was this just a bad game, or is Green Bay dealing with a much bigger organizational problem?
