Elliot Ness sighting

Another visit to Lambeau; great weather; great atmosphere - Row 3

LOTs of Lions Fans - Milwaukee tickets / Thursday nighter

If you are winning - then who cares who buys the tickets

Once again youngest team in NFL will need A+ coaching and they aren't getting it

Miss the 15 play script

Pass pass pass - not one run play called until near the end of first quarter

Offensive line was offensive - is David Bakhtiari done?

Beer wasted on Lions player

Compare to Lions - 30+ carries for RB coming off injury that was motivated

Too many negative plays. No easy plays

Defense - too much rotation like a middle school team

Snap Counts

Special Teams - poor decisions and penalties

Anders Carlson bright spot; Jordan Love post game was more composed than coach LaFleur

long break until MNF and then bye week - interesting to see if any significant changes occur but would seem unlikely;

brewers playoffs start next week

Today we talked about:

Shout outs to listeners who contacted the show

CB in Washington; Phillipe in France; great to have this podcost foster more interactions w/ long-time friends;

Pick Results - 2&1 Kansas City Chiefs cover Miami Dolphins cover and Dallas Cowboys take the L

Draft Kings Sunk by King Henry

Rigmarole

Monday Night Football check in

Wisconsin Badgers

Mordecai provides spark to Badger offense; tough to lose Chez Mellusi - Bye week and then favorable opponents leading into OSU game (OSU barely beat ND);

Wisconsin Badgers remain unranked (WSU is 16th)

Also Noteworthy - Colorado gets thumped by Oregon; Buffaloes will be getting everyone's best shot now; Minnesota Gophers late collapse to Northwestern

Milwaukee Brewers - their only day off this month

5 games left; clinched playoff

NFL

1st trip to Lambeau: New paint job; new score boards but no stats? flashlights for noon game?

Packers march over Saints in 4th quarter - Jonathan Vilma - ladies man

Love lifts team to victory - so much youth; young playmakers stepping up. Really like Jayden Reed

need more from the run game. Timing still a tad off with young pass catchers

Gary lifts the defense with 3 sacks

Short week - were guys rested with eye on the Lions?

NFC North & Other notes

Minnesot Vikings lose another close one / Chargers try to give it to them. Big stats again but no W

Detroit Lions beat Atlanta Falcons - 7 sacks (or so) for Detroit

Chicago Bears continue to be the Chicago Bears - lose big to KC
