The Green Bay Packers beat the Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott led Dallas Cowboys 48-32, but it wasn't actually that close. Kyle Shanahan said he started scouting the Packers midway through the second quarter, and we started entertaining the thought of playing the 49ers after the second drive. Jordan Love was basically flawless. The defense was solid. Anders Carlson missed an extra point. Two of these things are regular occurrences, one is unusual. We hope the unusual one shows up again on Saturday night. The Packers were projected to be rebuilding. They won a playoff game. We'd like it if they ..read more

The Packers beat the Bears to squeak into the playoffs, where they'll face off against Mike McCarthy's Dallas Cowboys. Matt LaFluer has still not lost to the Chicago Bears yet. The ownership of the Bears has transferred to Jordan Love, we'll see if he inherited the ownership of Jerry World on Sunday. Mike & Matt discuss their least favorite but most memorable experiences with the public at work and chat about how maybe it's time for Bill Belichick to hang up the sleeveless hoodie. Don't do TV Bill. Matt went through some of the earlier episodes from this season and found some of the take ..read more

The Packers won two games over the holidays! Mike and Matt watched from all over the United States as Joe Berry's defense did its best attempt at losing against the Panthers and the Vikings offense successfully beat themselves. Jordan Love looks like a superstar. Jayden Reed looks like a superstar. Matt LaFleur should win Coach of the Year for what has happened with this offense. But all of that hinges on the "Win and You're In" game against the Chicago Bears in Week 18, in a poetic Yin-Yang version of the 2022 season. Is Kyle Shanahan in the Mike McCarthy "Pooping Their Pants in Big Games" ti ..read more

Matt got a concussion. Mike got a head cold. The Packers are getting ahead of the playoff race. A lot of head-based things have occurred over the last few weeks. The Jets laid Tim Boyle to rest. We didn't talk about it much, but RIP Tim. We loved you. Have fun outside of the NFL buddy. The Packers are good? Jordan Love is finally getting the respect he has deserved all season? Shohei Ohtani to Green Bay? Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. You don't have to write new relatable things if you can just re-release the old relatable things you already made ..read more

Episode 84 - Chargers, $3000 Whisky, The Return of Tim Boyle

The Green Bay Packers won the game vs the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers worked harder to lose it than the Packers did to win it, but the W still shows up in the column. Jayden Reed is the best healthy running back on this roster (?). Jordan Love looked great. Valentine & Ballentine combo did something to make Keenan Allen drop two touchdowns. It was definitely their doing. How young is too young to get into the Grateful Dead? Is it ok to pour your Pappy Van Winkle over diet cola? Can our tastebuds understand the luxury of $3000 whisky? Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. It's ok ..read more

Look, the Packers' defense just looked like it prepared for a different team on Sunday. I wish we could say we took their lead and talked about a different game, but we didn't. Christian Watson has been ineffective at best and the defense was confoundingly bad but at least Jordan Love and Jayden Reed looked good. Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. Get the cheap beer at the store by your house and drink one while considering what a down lineman is ..read more

Episode 82 - Broncos, Pizza Hype, Pinball Relatives

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Las Vegas Raiders, took a week off, and then lost to the Denver Broncos. They don't look good, but thankfully we have other things to talk about. When did slice shops get Instagram hype? Why is Mario so fun? Why does everyone have a pinball relative? Why can't the Packers score in the first half? Jordan Love looks fine. The defense looks passable. The team is young, and young teams are usually bad. Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. You don't have to wait in line for a pretty good slice of pizza just because you saw it on Instagram ..read more

Episode 81 - Lions, Jeff Bezos' Money, Hydroponic Strawberries

The Green Bay Packers got walloped by the Detroit Lions on Jeff Bezos' Thursday Night Football. Thursday Night Football is a bad product and it makes football even more unsafe for the players. The Packers still played poorly on their own. Mike and Matt are the sleepiest they have ever been in their entire lives. They discuss the Lions game, the Bears discovering new ways to lose in front of our eyes, and hydroponic strawberries (Cheeseheads in Chicagoland's legal representation has advised us to state the following: Mike and Matt did not know that hydroponics existed or would allow you to grow ..read more

The Green Bay Packers beat the New Orleans Saints 18-17 in a frenzied 4th quarter comeback, starting the quarter down 17-0. Jordan Love looked like a leader, Matt LaFleur called a great game, and even the defense looked great in spurts. Mike & Matt discuss the Packer's victory, learning to win, getting tricked into allowing yourself to be suplexed as a child, and the matchup of the century in Sean Payton's bad Broncos vs Matt Eburflus's flustered Bears. The Packers take on the Detroit Lions in a Thursday Night primetime game, and the deciding factor may be the young Packers rubber bones ..read more

Episode 79 - Falcons, Growth, Losing

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Atlanta Falcons 24-25 in week 2 of the 2023-24 NFL season. Bijan Robinson did things he will do in this league for a very long time. The Packers offense looked young, and the defense looked discombobulated. Is it players or is it coaching? Mike & Matt discuss the Packers' loss, learning to lose, growth in the offense, AJ Dillon looking like his feet are made of cement (but the line didn't give him much help), and the very bad week down in Chicago that somehow didn't culminate in the Bears loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (technically it did, but the rumor ..read more
