Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton hold it down on a Phish Friday reacting to last night's Packers loss to the Lions on Thursday Night Football. They discuss the Packers' offense getting off to another slow start before roaring back to life in the 2nd half, Matt LaFleur's play-calling and issues with the refs & Lions fans, and the BOLD 4th-down decisions from Detroit head coach Dan Campbell. They also give their instant reaction to the breaking news that the Badgers are nearing a deal for their next offensive coordinator -- Kansas OC Jeff Grimes. Jim, Matt and Primetime discuss what this hire indicates about the Badgers returning to the foundation that they were built upon with the power running game, and are Badgers fans getting hyped again this time around? Jason Wilde joins Jim and Matt following the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday Night Football. Jim asks Jason about Dan Campbell's bold 4th-down decisions that paid off for his team, and how does Detroit's very solid identity compare to Green Bay's identity with Matt LaFleur. Matt also explains to Jason why he's got issues with LaFleur's play-calling and the offense's track record of slow starts, and Jason explains why Matt isn't a TOTAL idiot. But, what's up with Jaden Reed only getting one target in the game, and are the Packers' handicapping or helping the offense when they dedicate to running the ball with Josh Jacobs? Primetime also tries desperately to get Jim and Matt to respect Jason's time to no avail. Jim and Matt wrap up with their Green & Gold Blind Rankings for the Packers vs Lions game, as Primetime asks the guys to blind rank the three biggest architects of this Packers team/roster.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton roll into Hour 2 of Phish Friday following the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday Night Football. First, they circle back around to the breaking news that the Badgers are closing in on a deal for their next offensive coordinator -- current Kansas OC Jeff Grimes. They continue discussing Grimes' roots as an offensive line coach, how this hire should return the Badgers to their roots in the running game, and the balance between recruiting and development for college coaches. They also announce the winner of the Boca Bowl Flyaway back to Jim's prestigious collegiate stomping ground! Primetime provides and impromptu special presentation and gets distracted by those dang Icelandic horses. They then review their Don't Quote Me predictions from ahead of last night's Packers loss, as they decide whose longshot prediction came closest to hitting the mark. Jim and Matt wrap up with Poll Dancing, reviewing a couple of polls about the refs and the coaches from after last night's loss.

Jim first asks Evan to answer their poll question about who will miss more shows in 2025: Molly Brown because she'll be starting the year still on maternity leave, or Matt while out on all his Matt-ernity leaves? Evan asks the real question, who will make more shows during the window of Molly's maternity leave? They also get Evan's vibe check on the Badgers football program and Luke Fickell after the team's 22-year bowl streak came to an end this season, and Evan gives his game pick for tonight's heavyweight matchup between the 9-3 Packers and 11-1 Lions. Evan also explains why he's still shocked that anyone allows a "selfish" Bears fan like Jim Rutledge to be on a Wisconsin sports radio station.

Jim and Matt get ready for the 9-3 Packers' best chance to reclaim the NFC North Crown tonight as they chase the 11-1 Lions atop the division. They ask their "Goldilocks" gambling question: with the Packers listed as 3-point underdogs, is this line too big, too small, or just right? First, they must re-visit the "absolutely ridiculous" take from Jim yesterday that he'd rather see the Bears lose to teams like the Lions/Vikings if it hurts the Packers' chances to catch up in the division... Is Jim a bigger Bears fan or anti-Packers fan, or is this just normal fan behavior?

Packers HOF Mark Tauscher makes his weekly appearance to discuss where he believes the Badgers are at on National Signing Day and where they need to go in the next few years. He also elaborates on the changing landscape regarding recruiting and the transfer portal in college football. Tausch wraps up his segment talking about his confidence in the Packers before their game against the Lions and his view on the late hit on Trevor Lawrence last Sunday.

Jim and Matt are LIVE from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Middleton and after talking some Badgers football get into quite the heated debate on which remaining game will decide the NFC North crown. This gives way to an even more fiery scuffle whether Jim is actually a Bears fan or just a Packers hater. Matt and Riley tend to lean towards the latter... Matt's valiant effort at Minute To Win It concludes the hour!

Hour 2 keeps things rolling and Lee from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse joins the show! Him and Matt swap cooking tips before delving into conversation regarding the Packers Thursday night matchup with the Lions.

Matt also asks Jason if he agrees with his co-host Tausch that this Thursday's Packers vs Lions game is a de facto NFC North championship game, and Jim wants to know if Jason thinks the Packers can get a mental edge by finally beating a true playoff contender this season in Detroit (and can the Lions gain an edge over the Packers)? Matt also puts on his Green & Gold blinders while asking Jason if he's picking up on any themes from the team/players during this week's weird media availability schedule before TNF.
