Molly & Jim

Mark Tauscher joins Jim, Matt & Molly to share his thoughts for the Packers' bye week after their near-disastrous OT tie vs Dallas, including Matt LaFleur's viral comments that the final offensive play felt "like watching a car crash in slow motion". Is honesty always the best policy as an NFL head coach? He answers today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Are the Packers closer to the 2-0 team or the 0-1-1 team -- and, while the Packers have "broached" contract extensions with Romeo Doubs, could he see actually No.1 WR money? They talk more about Love's situational awareness at the end of the first half and at the end of OT, if Matt LaFleur trusts Jordan Love, and would third-year Aaron Rodgers show the same lack of urgency at the end of OT?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 as they continue to examine the Packers' tie (that felt like a loss) to the Dallas Cowboys. They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Are the Packers closer to the team that started 2-0 or the team that's gone 0-1-1 over the last two weeks on the road? They discuss if Green Bay will allow the OT tie vs Dallas to beat them again going forward. During Throwing Stones, producer Primetimes lauds himself for admirable work of telling ChatGPT to put sunglasses on Matt Hamilton's face, but he still doesn't trust AI — 1) to be correct, 2) with your personal information. Is it time to "adapt or lay down"?

Jim, Matt & Molly wrap up the show looking at the results of today's Siding Unlimited poll question. Are the Packers closer to being the No. 1 seed in the NFC or the last Wild-Card team?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown open the show with Matt trying to throw off the scent of his Johnny Bravo-style look from yesterday's show while Molly comes dressed to the nines in her best Canadian Tuxedo. The real question tho -- who remembers silk shirts and why were men so into silk underwear... They diverge further into the pros and cons of silk sheets on a bed, which Matt LaFleur certainly looks like he would sleep in. So, what about the other 31 NFL head coaches -- they run through the whole league, assigning silk, flannel, or no bed sheet type of guys! They get into some Packers news/rumors of the day, as ESPN's Jeremy Fowlers reports that the Packers have "broached" a possible contract extension with Romeo Doubs. Can Doubs be a true No. 1 WR and not just a leading pass catcher, or is Matthew Golden fill that role after the slow start to his rookie season? During Minute to Win It, they get into perhaps the Packers' BEST pass-catcher, as Jim and producer Primetime quiz Matt & Molly on the Top 10 TEs in terms of receiving yards through the first 4 weeks of the season!

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to discuss Matt LaFleur's comments (in response Jason's question) about why the end of OT vs the Cowboys felt like "watching a slow motion car crash". What phase of the game should Packers fans be most worried about after the special-teams gaffes, the offense's situational mistakes, and the defense giving up 40 points and lack of turnovers! What does LaFleur need to do this season with Ed Policy, and why does LaFleur (and Packers fans) keep putting the blame on him for Love's on-field mistakes? Also, will Jason get some hairspray for his next Channel 3 TV hit from Lambeau Field?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown continue their conversation stemming from Matt LaFleur's comments today that watching the end of OT vs the Cowboys was like watching "a slow motion car crash." Does Matt LaFleur trust Jordan Love, and should Love be trusted after his poor decision-making in OT? They ask today's second Siding Unlimited poll question — Is Matt LaFleur holding back Jordan Love? They discuss the best comparison's for Love's decision-making issues (is Favre really the best comparison), and, if Love just needs to improve in the margins to take the next step, then what are some good comparisons for QBs who did just that? During Throwing Stones, Matt wants fantasy football rankings for people in everyday professions. What if the Patrick Mahomes of Dentists doesn't live in my area? They wrap up with Matt taking us home after Jim stops holding him back!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown get into Matt LaFleur comments about the Packers' final offensive play of OT vs the Cowboys, which felt like "watching a slow motion car crash"... First, they hear how Jim scared Barry Alvarez with his open of last night's Barry Alvarez Show live from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (listen back on ESPN Madison's YouTube and the ESPN WI App)! Jim also scared Molly today when he accidentally took a bite of her North & South salad.. Have you ever eaten a coworker's salad, and why can't Matt keep track of his own protein shakes? They dive into LaFleur's comments about the end of overtime, and they discuss if it's on Love or LaFleur to make sure offense know when the urgency needs to ramp in the final 2-minute situation. They ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question -- Would the Packers be better off with Sean McVay as their Head Coach or Patrick Mahomes as their QB? Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to discuss Matt LaFleur's comments (in response Jason's question) about why the end of OT vs the Cowboys felt like "watching a slow motion car crash". What phase of the game should Packers fans be most worried about after the special-teams gaffes, the offense's situational mistakes, and the defense giving up 40 points and lack of turnovers! What does LaFleur need to do this season with Ed Policy, and why does LaFleur (and Packers fans) keep putting the blame on him for Love's on-field mistakes? Also, will Jason get some hairspray for his next Channel 3 TV hit from Lambeau Field? Jim Matt & Molly wrap Hour 1 discussing if someone's hair length an indicator of intelligence (cause it sure is in Matt Hamilton's mind)!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown continue reacting to the Packers' unsatisfying 40-40 tie versus the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. They circle back to today's Siding Unlimited poll question, as Matt asks if it's fair to say we know who MLF at this point in his coaching career -- a coach who's good but not good enough to get over the jump (even when he had a HOF QB)? Are he or Jordan Love close to being Super-Bowl caliber? They review their Don't Quote Me predictions made before Sunday's game - was Matt's "winning" prediction bold enough, and did he and Mr. Mid Dak Prescott have the same take about Micah Parsons? During Throwing Stones, Jim takes at aim at one of his old nemeses whose back in the news -- "Johnny try-hard" Brad Davison is returning to UW Basketball (as a coach)! They finish doing Crosstlak with The Barry Alvarez Show before Jim slides in for an absent Jesse Nelson tonight! They chat with Tarek Saleh, who butters up his former co-host Jim with questions about if the Bears do indeed still suck?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown react to the Packers vs Cowboys game, but it's not a Molly Victory Monday OR a Loser Jim Wins Monday -- IT WAS A TIE! They share their thoughts on the unsatisfying 40-40 tie in OT, Micah Parsons' dud of a revenge game in Dallas, and why this feels more like a loss than a tie. They focus on the crucial mistakes at the end of the first half and OT, asking today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Who do you trust more in Big Moments -- Jordan Love or Matt LaFleur? Also, should the Packers be 4-0 at this point, and what DO you trust about this team after their once dominant defense looked like a Joe Barry-coached unit? They hear from Packers fan-favorite Colin Cowherd about the youth of this team -- is it poor coaching that's left the Packers looking more like pretenders than contenders over the last two weeks? And after four weeks, Molly still can't tell what the identity of this team ACTUALLY is.

Jason Wilde joins Jim & Molly ahead of Sunday's primetime Packers matchup versus the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry's World! What does Love need to do to have a successful bounceback game after last week's late-game collapse in Cleveland, and can Josh Jacobs and the running game get going without possibly two starting O Linemen (Zach Tom, Aaron Banks) plus Anthony Belton? Also, is Matt LaFleur's coaching style what fits best for Jordan Love, and how's it compare to when LaFleur was coaching a stubborn QB in Aaron Rodgers? Plus, what's the longest Jason has been willing to wait in line for something, we get an update on his long saga of waiting to acquire a couch from Steinhafels, and what's he think of Molly's desire to put ketchup on a Chicago dog?

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown finish out Phish Friday ahead of Sunday's marquee matchup for the Packers vs the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football! They briefly talk about the worst-case scenarios for the Packers offense with their short-handed starting O Line before getting into their longshot "Don't Quote Me" predictions for the game! Will this be the game Josh Jacobs finally gets going, and who needs a rush defense??? They also give their Cover5 locks of the week for the other big games on Sunday's NFL slate. During Molly's Game, they picks some betting lines, highlighting Aaron Rodgers vs Carson Wentz, Ravens vs Chiefs, and dipping into CFB with Indiana vs Iowa and a shoutout for the Lane Kiffin (aka Johnny Freshwater) bowl in LSU vs Ole Miss! They also ask today's second Siding Unlimited poll question: Will you enjoy this weekend more with no Badgers football game to watch...? They go Poll Dancing, answering ESPN WI poll questions about how good has Jordan Love been, trust him or than Matt LaFleur, did we overrate the Packers as Super Bowl contenders, and are pancakes more of a vessel for butter or syrup? They finish with a final signoff from Cowboy Jim before he leaves for the weekend on his big blue steed!
