Packernet Podcast: Daily Green Bay Packers Podcast

It's Thursday on Tundra FM. The week has said most of what it's going to say, and Brick Lombardi has the booth heater humming and the music ready.

Tonight starts with a vault piece, Last Pair of Boots. It's a country-folk song about a man who spent forty-nine years getting the jerseys ready and never made the highlight film. Next comes Oklahoma State to Titletown, pipeline fl, a hip-hop track with a chip on its shoulder and a fifth-round name for a chorus. Head Rush follows, a bluesy rock tune about fumbles, flags and the kind of win nobody frames. Stay to the end for a brand new song, Put Her Name Down. It's a country waltz about a grandfather, a hospital parking lot and a very long waiting list.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN, PACK NATION! Big Sal brings the news from Wednesday's practice. Keisean Nixon and Benjamin St-Juste are question marks at corner, Skyy Moore sat out, Hargrave is headed to IR, and Matt LaFleur might have only four defensive tackles for Sunday night, which he calls "less than ideal." There's good news too: Jordon Riley is back from his Achilles tear, and his job description is four words long. Savion Williams, Aaron Banks and Jacob Monk are back on the field.

Then Sal sizes up Dallas: CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Dak's sacks and picks, and why Watson and Golden have more combined yards than those two. He maps out Detroit and Carolina and makes a called shot with specifics.

Also: Beer Cheese Benny tries out for defensive tackle on Sal's driveway, and the garbage can wins.

Well, hello everybody, and welcome back to the Packernet Podcast, coming to you from Packernet Podcast Studios! I'm Cal Hutson, your friendly neighborhood football enthusiast, amateur offensive coordinator, and a man who recently discovered that assembling a crib is significantly more complicated than identifying a Cover 2 defense.

Folks, we've got a tremendous show for you today. We're talking about the Green Bay Packers, the state of this football team, Jordan Love, the importance of building a winning culture, and something that I think gets overlooked in professional sports: the families behind the helmets.

We're also going to talk about Lambeau Field, some of the incredible things you can do around the stadium, and what might be the greatest tradition in all of professional football: grown men riding children's bicycles to practice.

And yes, we'll be discussing the upcoming addition to the Hutson household, because my beautiful wife is currently expecting baby number three.

That's right. Three children.

At this point, my wife and I aren't expanding our family. We're establishing a practice squad.

Our oldest has already informed me that he's willing to help coach the new baby, provided he gets final say over the draft selections. Our youngest is primarily interested in whether the baby will be taking any of her toys.

And my wife? She's interested in whether I can manage to put my shoes away without needing a detailed scouting report.

So far, the evaluation is not promising.

But we're going to have some fun today, we're going to talk some football, and hopefully we're going to remember why this team means so much to so many people.

Let's get into it.

First things first, ladies and gentlemen, how about those Green Bay Packers?

Thirty-one to seven over the Chicago Bears.

Now, I understand that one game doesn't define an entire season. I've been watching football long enough to know that a team can look like a Super Bowl contender one Sunday and spend the next Sunday playing like somebody replaced the offensive playbook with instructions for assembling patio furniture.

But thirty-one to seven against Chicago? That's the kind of result that makes a Monday morning feel just a little bit better.

Jordan Love throws for 367 yards, two touchdowns, and finishes with a passer rating of 137.5.

That is a quarterback operating with confidence, timing, and command. That's not just surviving the afternoon. That's controlling it.

And here's the interesting thing about Jordan Love. When he's playing his best football, I don't think it's simply because he's making spectacular throws. It's because he's making the offense look organized.

It's Wednesday night. The last game is behind us, the next one hasn't shown up yet, and Brick Lombardi is leaving the lamp on. This week on Tundra FM, we open in the vault with Hansel, a kid in the woods dropping breadcrumbs to find his way home. Then Caught Sleepin wakes up the NFC North with mid-tempo hip-hop and a record scratching behind it. Victory Bleeds, a thrash metal track, takes on the fan who sees a win and still writes the complaint.

We close with a brand new song, heard for the first time tonight. Cold Enough to Count is heartland folk-rock about the wool blanket coming out of the cedar chest on the first cold day you can actually count. Along the way, Brick shares a story from a third shift in Wausau that he'd rather not have told.

If this is your kind of Wednesday, press play. Subscribe to Tundra FM, leave a rating, and write a review. It helps other fans find the show. Go Pack Go.

News, as of this morning:

Hargrave's Achilles tear is confirmed. He's having surgery, with a 2027 return planned, and it's the second Achilles injury on the defense in two weeks. LaFleur says Parsons is "getting closer," but he's out against Dallas, and ESPN says probably Detroit too. The team worked out defenders on Monday, including a defensive tackle. The next three games:

Dallas: the Cowboys are 2-3 after losing 24-16 to Tampa Bay, which was winless before that game. Sal's main worry is that the Packers' defense has allowed 13 touchdowns on 16 trips inside its own 20. Detroit: the Lions are on their bye, and Sal is in full trash-talk mode about them. Carolina: a Thursday night game. Sal warns, "Don't you DARE say easy." Three commandments: fix the red zone defense, keep taking the ball away, and hold up in the middle of the line. Called shot: 3-0 over the stretch, which puts the Packers at 6-2 going into November. His scores: Packers 27, Dallas 17; Packers 24, Detroit 23 on a late field goal; Packers 30, Carolina 16.

Cal Hutson and his Victory lap: the 31-7 Bears win and how the season got here (lost the first and third games, then three straight wins). Dallas on Sunday night is next. Lions (the most time): the 45-21 win in Arizona, including 24 points in one quarter, Gibbs' 151 yards and no turnovers. It covers how that affects us: they have their bye week before hosting us on Oct 25. What we need to beat them: stop the run without Hargrave, and force turnovers. Vikings: 5-0, but every win since beating us has been close, and their kicker made kicks from 54 and 55 yards while ours missed two. They host us on Nov 15, and they play the Lions on Nov 1, so one of them has to lose. Bears: 3-2 but 0-2 in the division, with Caleb Williams still out. Mainly they help us by losing to other teams. Five-point plan: protect the ball, take the ball away, stop the run up the middle, make the kicks, run the ball better. Two stories: Cal refusing to use the search tool, which is the AI version of not asking for directions. And Cal saying "I'm fine" after the Week 1 loss while secretly re-sorting the whole archive by weather.

It's Tuesday. Sunday is far enough behind you to argue about, and the next one is still a ways off. Brick Lombardi settles in for a full night of Tundra FM on the Packernet Podcast Network.

The night opens with The Gunslinger, an outlaw country rock look back at the number four who threw into coverage nobody else would try. Twenty-Six is anthem rock that runs the worst-case season through every fan's head. The Ledger and the Law is a slow blues rock grind about the cap number and the man behind it. Then comes the debut of By Tuesday Everybody Knows, a heartland roots rock song set in a break room where everybody has a fix for the offense drawn on a napkin.

If the midweek fix is your favorite hour of the football week, pull up a chair. Subscribe to Tundra FM, and rate and review the show wherever you listen. Go Pack Go.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN, PACK NATION! Two days after the Packers buried the Bears 31-7, Big Sal is still out of breath, and he's bringing a pop quiz. Four Packers trivia questions open the show, and the answers come at the end, so no peeking.

Sal relives Sunday: Jordan Love's 367 yards, the most ever by a Packers quarterback against the Bears at Lambeau, Watson and Golden running wild, and five takeaways from five different defenders. Tomek from the paper mill has a few thoughts. Then it's story time. Curly Lambeau and the company that paid for the first uniforms, the Hungry Five, fan ownership, Lambeau Field, Lombardi, the cheesehead's couch-cushion origin, and why they call it Titletown.

Sal also gets serious about the injuries, Hargrave's believed Achilles tear and Cooper's the week before, and makes his call for Sunday night against Dallas.

Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and share it with the Cowboys fan you know.

Jordan Love is in the record book. His 367 yards against the Bears on Sunday are the most any Packers quarterback has ever thrown against Chicago at Lambeau Field. Cal Hutson opens with what that record means, then goes back through the 31-7 win piece by piece: Love against the blitz, Watson, Golden and Kraft, five takeaways from five different defenders, and the special teams that need work.

Then comes the hard part, the state of the roster. The Packers believe Javon Hargrave tore his Achilles, a week after Edgerrin Cooper's season-ending Achilles injury, while Micah Parsons is still working back. Skyy Moore and Benjamin St-Juste also left Sunday's game. Cal looks at what it means for the defense and lays out the five-part formula for doing Sunday again, starting with Dallas on Sunday Night Football.

Cal closes with one of the best stories in Packers country: the paint-by-numbers fence across from Lambeau, where hundreds of fans grab a brush every year, and the fan-portrait mural that raised money for three Green Bay charities.

It's Monday morning, the day after the Packers beat the Bears 31-7 at Lambeau Field. Five takeaways, zero giveaways, and a Monday that's moving slow in the best way. Tundra FM pours a cup of coffee and lets the glow settle in.

Brick Lombardi takes you back to April with Draft Day Heat, then settles into home, a one-word title that fits this morning. Let 'em Cry, a country-rock singalong, goes back to a December Sunday and a Bears fan crying alone at the bar. Then comes a brand-new song, premiering tonight: Can't Wipe It Off, a warm, hoarse-voiced roots rock tune about the morning after a win. It's about the sore throat, the stoplight wave, and a grin that won't leave. Brick also shares a story about losing his voice in 1996 and the three cans of soup that followed.

Press play, take the long way in, and stay for the sign-off. If you enjoy the show, subscribe to Tundra FM, leave a rating, and write a review. It helps other Packers fans find us.
