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. After Green Bay’s 39-22 defeat in Minneapolis, Chris Lempesis opens the bag to tackle your questions, comments, frustrations and theories about what went wrong — and why this loss felt so painfully familiar.But this episode starts with something completely different: family! Chris welcomes his sons, Vinny and Nick, to kick off Season 3 of the Lemps Talkin’ Pack Mailbag before getting into the serious Packers discussion. 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? The guys examine the struggles along the offensive line, questionable personnel decisions, coaching accountability, and why the Packers failed to make basic adjustments when the Vikings kept bringing pressure. They also defend Jordan Love, who played an impressive game despite getting battered, and highlight the encouraging performance and attitude of the new-look Packers defense.Plus, can Green Bay fix these issues before facing Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets? With another aggressive defense waiting, the Packers better have answers — and fast.If you

Lemps Talkin’ Pack dives headfirst into a brutal Sunday for the Green Bay Packers after a stunning 39-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers looked firmly in control for much of the game, only to watch everything unravel in a fourth-quarter collapse that raised some very familiar—and very uncomfortable—questions.Chris Lempicis breaks down why this loss feels like far more than a simple Week 1 stumble. The Packers were outscored 22-0 in the fourth quarter and 29-3 over the final two quarters, continuing a troubling pattern of late-game collapses dating back to last season. How much blame belongs on Matt LaFleur? Was this another example of the Packers failing to close when they had the game in their hands?The controversial officiating also gets plenty of attention, including a series of penalties that kept a crucial Vikings drive alive. But despite the frustration with the referees, Chris explains why the officiating ultimately isn't the reason Green Bay lost.Jordan Love, Keyshawn Nixon, the Packers' in

No Huddle Radio is back with the Green Bay Packers just days away from kicking off the regular season, and there is plenty to discuss before Sunday’s showdown with the Minnesota Vikings. Josh Jacobs has officially pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges, bringing the legal situation to a significant turning point — but now the pressure shifts to the NFL as everyone waits to learn what suspension, if any, Jacobs will face.Gil Martin and Sean Tien break down what Jacobs’ absence could mean for the Packers’ offense, including the potential workload for Marshawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks. The biggest concern, however, may be the offensive line. With Aaron Banks, Zach Tom/Bacabule and Jordan Morgan dealing with injuries, can Green Bay protect Jordan Love against Brian Flores’ aggressive blitz-heavy Vikings defense?The discussion also dives into the Packers’ defensive game plan for Kyler Murray, the Jonathan Gannon-Kyler familiarity, and the enormous challenge of slowing down Justin Jefferson. Plus, the guys identif

Cheese Head Radio previews the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings Week 1 matchup as Jordan Love and the Packers finally open the 2026 NFL season in Minneapolis. Green Bay Packers injuries, Brian Flores’ Vikings defense, Kyler Murray, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Love, and the Packers’ biggest season predictions all take center stage as CD Angeli, Kelly Hodgson, and Jersey Al prepare for Sunday.The Packers arrive with considerably fewer bullets in the chamber than they would prefer. Josh Jacobs is unavailable, Micah Parsons remains out, and three projected starting offensive linemen appeared on Wednesday’s injury report just before Love gets introduced to Brian Flores’ weekly collection of blitzes, disguises and general quarterback harassment.Meanwhile, rookie Brandon Cisse gets his first real NFL examination against a Minnesota receiving corps led by Justin Jefferson, while Jonathan Gannon has one intriguing advantage against new Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray: he spent three years coaching him in Arizona.

Lemps Talkin' Pack takes a deep, unfiltered look at the 2026 Green Bay Packers in this special annual season preview—and Chris Lempicis pulls no punches. With the Packers set to open the season against the Minnesota Vikings, it’s time for one long conversation about where this team is headed and whether Green Bay finally has what it takes to make a serious Super Bowl run.From Jordan Love’s potential to become one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, to Matthew Golden’s breakout potential, Tucker Kraft’s future, and the return of a healthy Zach Tom, there are plenty of reasons for Packers fans to be excited. But there are also major questions, especially along the offensive line and at the guard positions.And then there’s Matt LaFleur. Can the Packers overcome the lingering concerns about their head coach in the biggest moments? Can Love elevate his game enough to push Green Bay into the NFL’s elite? What happens when Micah Parsons returns? And just how far can the Packers actually go?Chris makes his prediction: 1

With the Minnesota Vikings waiting in the season opener, Myles Teteak and Tim Hamilton dive into the biggest questions facing Green Bay as real football finally arrives.Can the Packers protect Jordan Love against Brian Flores’ aggressive Vikings defense? Should Green Bay attack Minnesota deep early with Matthew Golden and Christian Watson? And how much will the absence of Josh Jacobs change the offensive game plan? The guys also break down the Packers’ newly announced team captains, including the surprising absence of Micah Parsons, plus the keys to containing Justin Jefferson and slowing down Kyler Murray.With new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon facing his former team and the Packers looking to start 2026 with a statement win, there is plenty to debate—and plenty at stake. The guys make their Week 1 predictions, with Tim calling for a 30-24 Packers victor

Season 22 begins, and Chris and Dave are not in the same place about this team. Dave says last year still hangs over him, but something about this quiet offseason feels like the kind of year the Packers sneak up on people. Chris wanted leadership changes that never came, and until he sees a different style of play on the field, he isn't buying it.They get into what the preseason actually showed them. There's a new defensive coordinator in Jeff Hafley's old chair who has said almost nothing all summer, then put a look on the field in that first game that got both of them talking. Trey Smack answered some questions. So did a second round corner who came up and stopped the run, which is not something Packers fans are used to seeing. Special teams might actually be a strength, and yes, the guys are as surprised as you are.The concerns are real too. The offensive line, top to bottom. Marshawn Lloyd stepping into a workload he's never had. Josh Jacobs and a hearing date that moved up. Micah Parsons watching the fir

No Huddle Radio dives deep into the biggest questions facing the Green Bay Packers as the 2026 regular season approaches — and the Josh Jacobs situation is front and center. With Jacobs placed on the commissioner’s exempt list following misdemeanor charges, Gil Martin and Sean Tien discuss what the legal process could mean for Jacobs, the Packers’ running game, and his future in Green Bay.The guys also break down the Packers’ initial 53-man roster and examine the biggest surprises, concerns and potential breakout stories. Could Caleb Johnson quickly become an important part of the backfield? What can Jonnu Smith bring to Matt LaFleur’s offense? Is J. Michael Sturdivant the feel-good story of the roster? And why is the offensive line perhaps the biggest concern heading into Week 1?Plus, the show examines the depth at edge rusher, defensive tackle, linebacker, cornerback and safety, the eventual return of Micah Parsons, and what the roster could look like once injuries and roster moves reshape the team.Subscrib

Green Bay Packers roster cuts, trades, and the final 53-man roster headline Cheesehead Radio #388, as CD Angeli, Kelly Hodgson, and Jersey Al break down Brian Gutekunst’s unusually frantic cutdown weekend. Kyle McCord threw four touchdowns in Green Bay’s wild preseason finale, then promptly became a Miami Dolphin and a future sixth-round pick. That pick effectively helped fund the arrival of former third-round running back Kaleb Johnson, while Gutey also dealt for blocking tight end Mark Redman and added veteran Pro Bowler Jonnu Smith. Apparently the Packers discovered roster construction can involve something besides lovingly hoarding draft picks until April. The crew evaluates the biggest cuts and surprises, including J. Michael Sturdivant making the roster, Will Sheppard and Mark Perry heading out, Anthony Campbell forcing his way onto a seven-man defensive line, and Green Bay treating its practice squad more like an extension of the active roster. With Josh Jacobs unavailable, MarShawn Lloyd suddenly owns

The offensive line gets plenty of attention, along with the defensive roster, practice squad additions, special teams, and the impressive preseason performances that could make a difference once the games count. Plus, what should Packers fans expect from Micah Parsons after he was placed on PUP? If you're a
