  • 4PM: Can Packers Fans Survive This Season? LaFleur’s Identity Crisis & Bulaga Diagnoses the O-Line
    The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust asks whether Packers fans are emotionally prepared for what could be a very long season. Kyle admits the overtime win over the Jets has him feeling better, but believes every game could become a four-quarter grind. That leads back to Matt LaFleur, as Kyle questions why the offense lacks the clear identity and energy Green Bay appears to have on defense and special teams.
    The K&B fam brings some historical perspective, comparing today’s frustrations to the Packers teams of the 1970s and ’80s. Kyle admits he’s been spoiled by three decades of winning football, but argues that makes watching a talented roster underachieve even more frustrating. One longtime fan who lived through those lean years agrees there’s a major difference now: this Packers team has talent and expectations.
    Then Bryan Bulaga joins the show to diagnose an offensive line decimated by injuries. Bulaga saw some improvement against the Jets, but says blown assignments remain and Green Bay still has a long way to go. He also explains why Caleb Johnson deserves more carries, why stupid personal fouls may require benching players and why he would have preferred Matt LaFleur attack the Jets after Skyy Moore’s huge return instead of going conservative with run-run-pass.
