Packers Talk

It's been an eventful week for the Green Bay Packers as they defeated the Carolina Panthers despite another rough showing by the defense and the controversy surrounding CB Jaire Alexander. We discuss the issues on today's show. Plus the Packers need to beat the Minnesota Vikings to keep their playoff hopes alive. We break down the key matchups in this game on both sides of the ball and discuss whe...

In what should have been an easy win against the worst team in the league, Joe Barry's defense came within a millisecond of collapsing and going to overtime with the Carolina Panthers. While a win is a win, there's plenty of fallout from the game, not the least of which is the suprising one-game suspension of cornerback Jaire Alexander. There's a lot of break down, including the playoff eliminatio...

In a Boxing Day Extravaganza, Chris and Dave air their grievances about another flaccid defensive performance. On the bright side, Joe Barry secured Bryce Young's vote for NFC Offensive Player of the Year, joining the immortal Tommy Devito and Baker Mayfield to put Joe over the top.

Chris Lempesis is back to break down Green Bay's nail-biting 33-30 road win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. He plays the role of Santa Claus for this one, telling you who was naughty and who was nice for the Packers in the victory.

Today we discuss the team's defensive failures of the last two weeks and why Joe Barry has not been successful. Plus we look at the key matchups for the Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers and what it will take for the Pack to get back on track and keep their playoff hopes alive. All this and more on this week's podcast with Sean Tehan and Gil Martin. On No Huddle Radio, hosts Gil Martin an...

Following a second embarassing loss at home, the Green Bay Packers fall to 6-8, and all eyes (and daggers) are on defensive coordinator Joe Barry, whose defense looked terrible on all levels. The CHR gang review the Barry Files and deliver our verdict if he is going to make it to the 2024 season. Also, don't miss our De'Vondre Campbell observations, our Panthers game preview and predictions, and o...

We've watched two different Packers teams this season. Starting with the playoff team, they came out of the gate against the Bears looking as good as this team has looked. Then we saw the wheels fall off as flags piled up, assignments were missed, and things seemed to only be getting worse week-by-week.  Out of nowhere, the playoff team shows back up and rattles off 4 wins in 5 games, including th...

Chris and Dave, employing a time-honored defense mechanism, stretch out and yuck it up about the decidedly unfunny antics of the Packers defense and the Dead Man Walking that is Joe Barry. But it's not all darkness and doom, as the fellas note that Jordan Love is pretty darn good and is throwing to some swell receivers. Did someone say, "Betting Lines?" Heck, yeah. It's all there in Chuba Hubbard...

Chris Lempesis is back to break down Green Bay's infuriating 34-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. He pins the majority of this loss on the abysmal performance from the Packers defense, namely defensive coordinator Joe Barry. He breaks down all the failures from Barry's unit in this one and tells you why this will absolutely be Barry's final season in Green Bay. He the...

The emerging consensus seems to be that the decaying corpse of Jimmy Hoffa, mouldering under the Meadowlands, could have played better defense on that final drive than Joe Barry's outfit did. But wait, there's more...and Chris and Dave talk about it in their usual excruciating detail.  Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapy PayPal:  Packerstherapy@yahoo.com Posting its first show in 2005...

The Green Bay Packers had a disappointing performance on Monday against the New York Giants. We broke down what went wrong in all three phases of the game and what the Packers can do to recover. Plus, we preview this week's game vs the Bucs at Lambeau Field which includes a long list of important injuries for both teams. What matchups will determine who wins this one? All this and more on this wee...

The Gold of the "Green and Gold" might have been gilded after last week, and it took a rough outing against the Giants to realize the young Packers still have a lot of lead underneath the surface. But, if growth was the goal of the season, it stands that "growing pains" are a part of the process. CD launches into an epic rant on Packers Twitter to kick off the show, before he, Jersey Al, and Kelly...

Chris Lempesis is back to break down Green Bay's inexcusable 24-22 road loss to the New York Giants on Monday night at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

He then takes questions and comments from listeners received via social media and em...

The Green Bay Packers look to build on their big win over the Kansas City Chiefs as they head to the Big Apple to face the New York Giants. We break down the highlights of the win over KC and the free agent signings the Packers made this week. We also look at the most important matchups that will determine the winner on Monday including whether the Packers can slow down Saquon Barkley. All this an...

Five weeks ago, we had buried the Green Bay Packers playoff chances as nothing more than a fantasy, as be obliged ourselves to just look out for "growth" for the rest of the 2023 season. And then, the Packers beat the defending champs in prime time, securing a spot--for the moment--as the NFC's seventh seed with five games to go.   It's a balancing act of giddy optimism and grounded expectations a...

Before this stretch of wins, we were talking about LaFleur's job being on the line if he didn't correct the ship. Of course, he was listening to the Packers Weekly Podcast and he took our advice to heart. At least that's what we choose to believe based on how they've turned things around since then.  The most frustrating part about the losing streak was watching the offense look lost. We were all...

Dave recounts his incredible experience of being at the game and the energy of both Packers and Chiefs fans alike as the rumor quickly spreads through the crowd that Taylor Swift is, in fact, in attendance. It's a Love story as hearts start to fill with hope on the Packers playoff prospects. It's hard to not be optimistic right now, but have no fear, Chris and Dave find a way to bring it all back...

Chris Lempesis is back to break down Green Bay's outstanding 27-19 win over the defending world champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. He breaks down Jordan Love's fantastic performance and points out one specific aspect that really shows that Love is now Green Bay's quarterback of the future. He also praises the defense for coming up big in several key moments and the speci...

The Green Bay Packers just secured their most convincing win of the season on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions. This Sunday, they try to build on that when they host the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. We break down all the key matchups and tell you how the Packers could pull off the upset and what to expect on Sunday. Plus, we discuss the passing of Jim Carter, and t...

If you've been watching every Packers game this season, you probably don't feel like you've been watching a playoff team. Even in their wins, they haven't looked overly impressive... That is until this win over the Lions on Thanksgiving.  The Lions came into the game with an 8-2 record. Not many teams get to 8-2 by accident. As much as I'd like to treat the Lions like the poverty franchise they ha...

Luck? Who needs luck? The Green Bay Packers played four quarters of complimentary football for a national audience on Thanksgiving and got a little revenge against our newest division rival, the Detroit Lions. All is good in the world for Packers fans, right? The CHR breaks down a great game and preps you for their biggest test of the season as we welcome Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to Lambeau...

The Packers win in an unexpected victory against the Lions on Thanksgiving, surprising and confusing both Chris and Dave, robbing them of their usual hot takes. Are things starting to come together for the Green and Gold? Chris and Dave discuss whether expectations should be tempered moving into the end of the season.

Chris Lempesis is back, this week from a special location, to break down Green Bay's impressive 29-22 Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday at Ford Field. He is particularly impressed with the job done by Matt LaFleur and he tells you why Thursday was one of his finest moments yet in Green Bay. He also heaps praise on Jordan Love, Christian Watson and Rashan Gary among others. Lastly...

The Packers haven't faced the toughest opponents the past 3 weeks, but the progress the offense is making can't be denied. So what exactly did "shake things up" mean when a frustrated LaFleur dropped that in a press conference before the Rams game? We will probably never find out, because teams don't (and shouldn't) let that kind of stuff out of the building. Whatever it meant, it seems to have ma...
