Emptying The Bag ’25: Steelers Edition | LempsTalkinPack #228


Listen Later

Chris Lempesis returns to the basement Packer Room with a frosty Oktoberfest and a Tuesday Night Mailbag bursting at the seams after the Green Bay Packers’ 35–25 Sunday Night Football win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure. We open on the only controversy that truly matters—throwback jerseys. Why Green Bay’s retro fits work (clean, simple, carry the G energy) and why Pittsburgh’s looked like they were designed by a committee of sleepy bees. From there, Lemps rips open the bag and dives into everything you sent after the win: Jordan Love’s 20-in-a-row heater, Tucker Kraft’s YAC rampage, Quay Walker’s grown-man restraint, and whether Matt LaFleur finally found the “complimentary football” switch at halftime.

This one’s peak LempsTalkinPack—fast, funny, and just the right amount of salty. We hit the big debates Packer Nation actually argues about:
Favre vs. Rodgers — one game, life on the line, who’s your QB1?
Run game reality check — why the blocking up front must level up, and how a change-of-pace spark changes everything.
WR room vibesChristian Watson’s return, rookie flashes, and why Romeo Doubs is the steady hand on money downs.
Defense with teethCarrington Valentine looking like a real CB1, Javon Bullard popping, front’s juice when Devonte Wyatt is back.
Special teams sanity — kick talk (again), field position gifts, and when to holster the panic button.
Fake Facebook News — yes, Lemps reads the wildest “TikTok Stadium at Lambeau Park” post so you don’t have to.

If you came for Green Bay Packers analysis with actual personality—this is it. Clean breakdowns, spicy jokes, Jordan Love optimism without the Kool-Aid mustache, and a firm belief that Tucker Kraft Day should be a federally observed holiday in Wisconsin. Subscribe, rate, comment, tell a friend, and keep the mailbag stocked for next Tuesday—because when the Pack plays like they did in Pittsburgh, we’re all a little more frolicsome.

What you’ll hear:

  • Packers vs. Steelers recap, second-half surge, and why it matters now
  • Jordan Love’s efficiency, confidence, and the “almost-elite” conversation
  • Tucker Kraft’s YAC clinic and red-zone identity
  • Quay Walker’s maturity moment (and why it swung a drive)
  • Run game fixes LaFleur can’t ignore
  • Secondary arrows up: Valentine, Bullard & friends
  • Throwback jersey rules, ranked and roasted
  • Mailbag lightning round (your best questions from X/BlueSky/FB/IG)
