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 o...

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 p...

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 th...

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...

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 to...

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 y...

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...

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 ou...

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...

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 ma...

The 2023-24 NFL season is upon us as the Green Bay Packers beat the Bears 38-20 in a Week 1 game that somehow felt over when the score was 10-6. Jordan Love makes his debut as the starting quarterback of the future for the Green Bay Packers and continues his predecessor's tradition of beating up on the Chicago Bears, and the Packers' defense puts existential dread into the Chicago locker r...

The Packers beat the Bears. Everyone went on vacation for a week, and now they're back. Everyone should get a winter vacation. Summer vacations are a little silly. It's nice out! Why are you going anywhere? Winter is like, it's cold. Go somewhere warm if you want/can. But if you go somewhere nice, you have to wear a coat to the airport and then you land somewhere nice and it's silly that you have...

The car is on fire, and there is no driver at the wheel.  The Packers beat the Cowboys because they're just not very good, then lose to the Titans because the Packers are just not very good, and then lose to the Eagles because the Eagles are pretty good and the Packers are pretty bad.  Skiing vs Skydiving, danger levels vs enjoyment levels vs injury risk The Chicago Bears are up next in...

The Packers lost. What did you think was going to happen? The Bills are really good. Josh Allen is a super human, and the rest of the team is just as super-powered.  Matt & Mike run through this game, try and find some positives, and then take a lovely stroll through the rest of the NFL. The NFC North made some big trades at the deadline, but the Packers didn't. We think that was totally...

Taylor Heinicke deserves a deal with Heineken. Remember when you could smoke inside? That was wild. This game felt like sitting in the non-smoking section. The Green Bay Packers lose to the Washington Commanders in a very bad loss.  Matt & Mike are tired.  Does anyone have a beer they can share with us? Stay cheesy, drink beer, watch football. You don't have to expect a Packers win.&...

Have you ever seen a small hill, maybe even just a mound, or a bump in the landscape, and said "I could climb that, but I don't want to. It isn't worth the effort"? That was this game. The Packers struggle in every dimension and lose to the worst team not named the Bears they'll play this year. Are the moon rocks and fossils in museums real? How much space do they have on spaceships? Will an Alien...

Better late than never. Mike was very busy and Matt was on vacation so this episode comes a little late. Did you want to think about these games anyways?  The Aflac mascot is actually a duck, not a goose. Matt would like to formally apologize. As a podcast, we hope the duck lives a long and fruitful life. He didn't take them to the playoffs, but Brian (Axel) Hoyer was 10-6 in his 2 year caree...

Have you ever played the game Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy? You play as a muscular man in a cauldron with only a hammer at your disposal, and you must use that hammer to climb a mountain. The mountain doesn't make any sense. Swing by swing, you look around and think "This isn't what a mountain looks like. This isn't what climbing a mountain is like. There's not haphazard wires, and houses, a...

Week 2 of the Green Bay Packers season is a 27-10 win over the Chicago Bears. Mike and Matt talk about that a whole lot. The Packers offense looked much smoother in this one, and we're excited that we knew the obvious answers why. More Aaron Jones is good!  We look ahead to next week vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team the Packers have had trouble with in the past, and take a look around Week...

Oh gosh oh golly.  Allstate, call us. We're hatching a plan to guillotine the Geico Gecko with State Farm. You're gonna wanna get in on this. Mike and Matt talk Week 1 across the NFL and stumble unwittingly into a recap of the Packers Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. There were some positives there! We promise! Most of it was bad though.   We don't talk about Brett Favre's welfare f...

The Queen died. We didn't talk about it. This is a Green Bay Packers podcast. Maybe next week, bucko.  Last episode before the season starts. We'll be back after the season opener vs the Minnesota Vikings.  Mike & Matt discuss roster cut downs, the week 1 NFL schedule, and general tomfoolery. Mike got drunk in Vegas once and hopped on the mic to record. That's dedication. Matt did no...

We took a one week break and are here to talk about the 2022 Green Bay Packers, how the NFC North stacks up (we like Dan Campbell!), and dox ourselves.  Stay cheesy, drink beer, and watch football. You don't have to read Atlas Shrugged.  Song - 53 By OverNightMike. Buy the album .

Mike and Matt recap the draft and give you an update on how things are going! They're going ok but not great!

So look, there's quite a bit happening in the world at large, but we here at Cheeseheads in Chicagoland think you should spend an hour with us catching up on the Packer's free agent signings and the other goings-on in the NFC North and beyond!

We're back and talking about the owners proposed CBA and why its bad. Also we chat a bit about the Packers free agency and draft prospects.
