The Packers didn’t just lose a playoff game in Chicago — they auditioned for a documentary called “How To Invent New Pain In 13 Minutes.” Up 21–3 at Soldier Field in January, Green Bay somehow watched the Bears hang 25 points in the fourth quarter like it was a charity drive… except the Packers were the donors and nobody asked. This episode of Cheesehead Radio is less “postgame recap” and more liv...

This was the second kind. Packers Therapy returns after a Ravens game that never really felt competitive, even during the brief moments when the scoreboard pretended otherwise. Derrick Henry didn’t just run thr...

The Green Bay Packers got bullied, gaslit, and reality-checked by the Baltimore Ravens — at home — in what may have been the most clarifying loss of the season. Derrick Henry ran like it was 2015, Malik Willis played out of his mind on one good shoulder, and the Packers defense… well… mostly watched.

This loss was not one play. It...
