Chris and Dave shuffle back into the booth for another week of professional coping. The Packers, bless their confused little hearts, have officially hit the “Can’t. Can’t. Can’t.” portion of the season — can’t run, can’t tackle, can’t call a play without someone pulling a hamstring or a metaphorical muscle.

Jordan Love continues his season-long impression of a quarterback who’s reading a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book every snap, while Matt LaFleur once again proves that nothing says innovation like running up the middle on 2nd and 10. The guys break down how a team that once gave us glory days now gives us indigestion.

The good news? The defense still shows up occasionally — mostly to commit a penalty or stare wistfully at opposing tight ends running free. The bad news? We’re still pretending special teams count as “football.”

From Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks to misplaced confidence, it’s another two hours of catharsis, kvetching, and unsolicited philosophy. The fellas talk kicker yips, locker-room vibes, why LaFleur might be the Midwest’s answer to a yoga instructor having a breakdown, and how Packers fans keep showing up every week like it’s a group therapy session at Lambeau.

There’s laughter, there’s pain, and there’s the kind of optimism that only exists between Busch Lights. Because even when the Packers can’t… Chris and Dave still can.

Packers Therapy #490: where hope goes to drink, complain, and maybe, just maybe, believe again next Sunday.

Posting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet. Hosts Chris and Dave began the show as a way of capturing the spirited chats the two co-workers had about the team around the office. The two have no pretense about being experts: they are just two opinionated shareholders who love the team, follow it closely, but don’t always see the Packers fortunes eye to eye.

The guys encourage comments and questions via their Twitter feed @PackersTherapy or email to [email protected] and read and respond to as many as they can during each show.
