Packers Talk

Chris and Dave trudge back into the Therapy lounge after a Bears game so ugly it should probably be classified as a crime scene. The Packers won—technically, spiritually, debatably—but that doesn’t stop the boys from unpacking every chaotic, bone-headed, infuriating moment like two men sorting recycling while blindfolded.

The episode opens with the guys trying to make sense of Jordan Love’s afternoon, where he oscillated between “competent NFL quarterback” and “guy picking plays off the stadium Wi-Fi.” They dig into the Johnson touchdown disaster—also known as the Great Slip-n-Slide of Soldier Field—and the Williams choke job that could have (should have?) ended in heartbreak if not for divine intervention or Chicago simply being Chicago.

They marvel at the defense somehow both dominating and collapsing at the same time, like a soufflé that’s tall on one side and flat on the other. They revisit Luke Musgrave’s existence, wonder aloud what “scheme” even means anymore, and question whether Matt LaFleur secretly has a pact with some midwestern forest spirit to survive close games he shouldn’t.

And of course, Chris and Dave light the ceremonial dumpster fire and dive headfirst into another round of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks, where logic dies, point spreads cry, and predictions are made with all the confidence of someone picking stocks based on moon phases.

The inbox once again overflows with limericks, abuse, philosophical questions, dad jokes, and listeners who clearly need therapy more than the hosts do. Naturally, they read every single one.

It’s Packers Therapy at its finest: weary, confused, deeply sarcastic, and ultimately kind of hopeful—because somehow the Packers won… and the Bears didn’t.

Posting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet. Hosts Chris and Dave began the show as a way of capturing the spirited chats the two co-workers had about the team around the office. The two have no pretense about being experts: they are just two opinionated shareholders who love the team, follow it closely, but don’t always see the Packers fortunes eye to eye.

The guys encourage comments and questions via their Twitter feed @PackersTherapy or email to [email protected] and read and respond to as many as they can during each show.

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand and heart still pounding, to recap the Green Bay Packers’ gritty 28–21 win over the Chicago Bears — a game where this young Packers squad showed, beyond any doubt, that they’re growing up before our very eyes .

Lemps walks listeners through the emotional rollercoaster of the fourth quarter, including Chicago’s soul-draining 17-play drive, the moment Lambeau Field felt like it stopped breathing, and the exact instant where the Packers flipped the script and played true championship-level complementary football.

He breaks down Jordan Love shaking off an early interception and settling into full command of the offense, firing darts, running the show, and proving he has officially grown up as this team’s QB1 . He relives Josh Jacobs’ monstrous, physics-defying third-and-two run — the one that looked dead on arrival until Jacobs cut back, broke four tackles, steamrolled a safety, and dragged Green Bay into scoring position through sheer willpower.

Then Chris shifts to the defensive stand of the season: Kingsley Enagbare blowing up third-and-one, Edrin Cooper sealing the edge, and Keisean Nixon — chaotic, maddening, fearless, wonderful Keisean Nixon — stepping in front of Cole Kmet for the game-clinching interception that sent the Bears packing and Lambeau into orbit .

Lemps explains exactly why wins like Detroit and Chicago don’t just feel different — they are different. This is what a team looks like when it learns how to finish games. When it refuses to blink. When it discovers how good it really is. When it grows up.

He also grabs a few early questions for Tuesday night’s mailbag, touches briefly on officiating, Micah Parsons’ WWE treatment, the play-calling glow-up, offensive line dominance, and Green Bay’s improbable rise back to the top of the NFC North.

If you want passion, humor, analysis, and a whole lot of “Bears still suck,” this is the episode. Packers fans — buckle up. This season is getting fun.

Jordan Love just walked out of Ford Field with four touchdown passes, an NFC Offensive Player of the Week award, and the season sweep over the Detroit Lions…and now the suddenly grown-up Green Bay Packers are staring down a December double-header with the division-leading Chicago Bears. On this week’s Cheesehead Radio #376, CD Angeli, Kelly Hodgson, and Jersey Al Bracco break down how a team that started the year searching for its identity might now be the most dangerous kind of contender: one that finally knows how to win ugly.

The gang opens the show revisiting the Thanksgiving win in Detroit—not with a dry recap, but with one big takeaway each. Al dishes out flowers (pun absolutely intended) for Matt LaFleur’s ultra-aggressive game plan, CD breaks down how Jordan Love has shifted from sideways throws and bubble screens to slicing up defenses in the intermediate zones, and Kelly raves about Jeff Hafley’s emerging “grown-man” defense powered by Micah Parsons and a suddenly nasty pass rush. This isn’t the finesse Packers of old; this is trench warfare in green and gold.

From there, it’s all about the NFC North title race. The crew dives into how the Bears somehow sit at 9–3 and atop the conference despite a cupcake schedule, five last-minute wins, and a fan base that still feels like it’s suffering from imposter syndrome. They debate whether Chicago’s smash-mouth ground game and turnover-happy defense are sustainable, what the oddsmakers really think of the Bears vs. Packers down the stretch, and whether Green Bay is quietly becoming the most resilient team in the division as injuries pile up and “next man up” actually works for once.

In the “in-show locker room,” Kelly powers through the mini-bye injury report, running down the loss of Devonte Wyatt, the status of Lukas Van Ness and Savion Williams, the potential returns of Quay Walker, Nate Hobbs, Matthew Golden, and—most importantly—Jayden Reed. The crew also talks about new big-body addition Jordon Riley on the defensive line and how the Packers might patch together a rotation in time to slow down D’Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, and the NFL’s No. 1 rushing attack.

Then it’s full-on Packers–Bears game plan mode:

• How do you stop a Ben Johnson offense that just ran for 281 yards and held the ball for nearly 40 minutes in Philadelphia?
• Can Hafley’s defense keep Caleb Williams in the pocket, force him into long third downs, and let Micah Parsons & friends hunt without losing contain?
• Should LaFleur lean into the ground game against Chicago’s leaky run defense, or keep his foot on the gas and trust Love to win another high-leverage throwing script without giving the Bears’ ball-hawking secondary freebies?

Finally, the crew closes with a trio of Hot Pockets and score predictions. Al grudgingly admits the Bears are finally doing smart things (and why that makes this matchup so important), CD unloads about how the Packers have quietly become a “grown-ass December football team” that wins in the mud instead of on the highlight reel, and Kelly delivers a much-needed dose of perspective on kickers, special teams, and why Packers fans should probably take a deep breath.

If you’re looking for smart X’s and O’s, NFC North playoff math, salty Bears shade, and some vintage Cheesehead Radio wit, this is the episode to get you ready for a massive December showdown at Lambeau Field.

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, for another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25: Lions Edition – and this one is pure post-Thanksgiving chaos in the best possible way.

Because it’s Bears Week, he kicks things off with a full-on love letter roast to his all-time favorite Chicago Bear, Jay Cutler – the smoking, sulking, 1980s-movie-villain quarterback who gifted Packers fans a generation of bad decisions and glorious interceptions. From the trade haul the Bears blew on him to that beautiful 2–11 record vs Green Bay, Lemps gives Cuddy the kind of tribute only a true rival can.

Then the bag gets ripped wide open. Chris plows through all the questions and comments he couldn’t get to on Thanksgiving night after the Packers’ 31–24 win over the Lions at Ford Field, hitting:

• How the Packers can possibly make up for the gut-punch loss of Devonte Wyatt
• Why this offensive line finally looks stabilized after hanging a zero-sack day on Aidan Hutchinson and friends
• Jordan Love’s Toyotathon magic and why Thanksgiving Jordan Love is basically Godzilla in green and gold
• Dontayvion Wicks quietly turning into a cold-blooded closer
• Micah Parsons as the cosmic “screw you” to Jerry Jones that Wisconsin absolutely deserved
• Matt LaFleur coaching like his job depended on it – and why this version of Aggro Matt might just win a Super Bowl
• The very real possibility that Bears fans don’t actually “hate” the Packers as much as they desperately need the Packers

Of course, it wouldn’t be a true LempsTalkinPack mailbag without some shameless self-promotion (LTP t-shirts are on sale, baby), a raised-glass salute to Ticket King, and a fresh helping of Facebook F***ery, where Chris shreds another ridiculous fake “breaking news” post about the Packers’ supposed roster moves.

It’s loud, it’s petty, it’s weirdly heartfelt, and it’s everything you want out of a post-Lions, pre-Bears rivalry week episode. If you bleed green and gold and enjoy your Packers talk with a side of profanity, nostalgia, and actual football analysis, this is the show you want in your ears.

Go Pack Go — and yes, absolutely, F* the Bears.

Chris and Dave return from their post-Thanksgiving coma to break down a truly delightful holiday miracle: Matt LaFleur kicking Dan Campbell’s oversized, protein-powder-stabilized can all over the Motor City. It was a week of snow, nostalgia, mispronounced statistics, and the philosophical revelation that Jordan Love may, in fact, be a being in the process of becoming… elite?

The guys open with snowfall measurements (naturally), deep reflections on childhood metric conversions, and a perfectly normal Ticket King ad read that may or may not sound like Chris had a minor stroke. Then it's time to relive the Packers’ Thanksgiving win — a game that somehow felt both comfortable and terrifying, in true Green Bay fashion.

Chris and Dave dig into:

• LaFleur’s “man-up” game — Was he actually better, or did execution just magically work for once?
• Jordan Love’s Zen-monk quarterbacking, complete with a pulse rate of 40 and a QB rating that outlived the turkey.
• Dontavian Wicks’ coming-out party, strictly football-related (probably).
• Romeo Doubs’ fumbles, hesitations, and future career as WR4.
• Micah Parsons’ continued impersonation of a Category 5 natural disaster, casually rearranging Detroit’s offensive line.
• Defensive scheming sorcery, including one play where Parsons dropped into coverage just to emotionally confuse the Lions.
• The Bears preview, full of hope, fear, and the desperate wish that Keisean Nixon doesn’t commit a penalty so horrific it becomes a federal incident.

Then the episode dives into another chaotic round of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks, complete with bold predictions, broken logic, and Dave’s weekly segment: Things the Packers Should Do That They Absolutely Never Will.

Finally, the inbox explodes with Thanksgiving limericks, pastor-approved gratitude lists, Klaus’s poetry from Norway, and a poem from a five-year-old that is—frankly—smarter and kinder than 98% of Packers Twitter.

It’s classic Packers Therapy: part football analysis, part emotional processing, part accidental philosophy seminar, part carnival sideshow.
And after sweeping the Lions?
The boys are feeling dangerous.

Matt LaFleur walked into Detroit on Thanksgiving and did the most shocking thing possible: he out-Dan-Campbelled Dan Campbell. Because of that, the Green Bay Packers walked out of Ford Field with their biggest win of the season – and Chris Lempesis is in the basement Packer room to break all of it down.

In this episode of LempsTalkinPack, Chris recaps the Packers’ gutsy 31-24 Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions, a game that felt like a true “circle it on the timeline” moment for the Jordan Love era and the 2025 Green Bay Packers.

He starts with LaFleur, who finally coaches the way fans have begged him to: aggressively. Chris walks through every big decision – 3-for-3 on fourth down, passing up easy field goals, trusting his quarterback with the game on the line, and refusing to punt in cowardly spots against one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. LaFleur doesn’t just survive Dan Campbell’s chaos; he beats him at his own game.

From there, Chris digs into Thanksgiving Jordan Love, who turns Toyotathon form into something close to Godzilla. The stat line is strong – 18-of-30, 234 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, zero sacks – but the tape is even better. Chris breaks down the 51-yard bomb to Christian Watson, the fourth-down strike to Dontayvion Wicks, the red zone work to Romeo Doubs, and the late dagger to Wicks that effectively ended Detroit’s day. Tight windows, deep balls, high-leverage moments against a top-10 defense – Love nails nearly all of them.

In true holiday fashion, Chris runs through a “Thankful For” list from this game, including:

• Jordan Love, finally given a downfield, attack-mode game plan and proving he can thrive in it.
• Dontayvion Wicks, reborn from forgotten option to clutch playmaker with two touchdowns and the game-sealing grab.
• Christian Watson, clearly re-established as a focal point of the passing game and a constant shot-play threat.
• An offensive line that keeps Love clean, handles Aidan Hutchinson for the second time this year, and plays its best collective game in weeks.
• Micah Parsons, who terrorizes Jared Goff with 2.5 sacks, relentless pressure, and another dominant performance that makes Packers fans quietly toast Jerry Jones for botching everything in Dallas.
• Isaiah McDuffie and a swarming defense that keeps Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery contained and prevents Detroit’s ground game from taking over again.

Chris also hits the injury news (including the brutal Devonte Wyatt update), what this three-game winning streak says about where this young team is headed, and why this performance feels like the most “grown-up” win of the season. With the Bears and Lions still on the schedule, he looks at how this victory suddenly puts Green Bay in the driver’s seat of the NFC North race.

To close, he offers a sampler from the latest mailbag submissions – early reactions from Twitter, BlueSky, email, and Instagram – ahead of a full Tuesday night LempsTalkinPack Mailbag Show.

If fans are looking for a Packers vs. Lions recap filled with fourth-down guts, Jordan Love dimes, Micah Parsons destruction, and unapologetically celebratory Packers talk, this Thanksgiving episode delivers. Grab some leftovers, crack a victory beer, and relive the day the Pack feasted on Lions for Thanksgiving.

The Green Bay Packers didn’t just beat the Vikings — they SKOL-trolled them into a purple existential crisis — but there’s no time for gloating because the NFL schedulers decided we don’t deserve joy. It’s Thanksgiving week, and the Packers are marching straight into Ford Field for a national-TV cage match against Dan Campbell, Jahmyr Gibbs’ warp drive, and a Lions team desperate to avoid getting swept at home on their holiday.

This week on Cheesehead Radio, CD, Kelly, and Jersey Al break down a defensive performance so violent it should come with a parental advisory label. Jeff Hafley’s crew held Minnesota to four total yards in the second half — yes, FOUR — forcing three straight three-and-outs, two picks, and turning J.J. McCarthy into a tackling dummy. Was this Hafley’s official “Welcome to the NFL, I am in charge now” moment? Or did the Vikings just forget that blocking is allowed?

We also talk the emergence of Emanuel Wilson, who responded to Josh Jacobs’ short-week absence by running like a man actively threatening job security. Two touchdowns, 107 yards, and roughly twelve broken Viking souls later, we debate whether Wilson is just a short-term spark plug or an actual co-RB1 in the making.

Special teams? Oh yes, we go there. Daniel Whelan unleashed orbital-trajectory punts, Zayne Anderson stole a game-changing muffed ball like it was Black Friday Doorbuster Weekend, and Brandon McManus quietly went perfect. Is this real life? Are the Packers actually good at special teams? Is this allowed?

Then we dive headfirst into the “why are we calling plays like it’s 1972?” discourse. Matt LaFleur turtled the offense harder than a Star Wars stormtrooper in a blaster fight, running the ball 42 times while Jordan Love nursed a left-shoulder AC sprain. Smart? Cowardly? Necessary? We break it down like only CHR can: with equal parts analysis, sarcasm, and mild exasperation.

And then… THE BIG ONE.
Thanksgiving. Packers @ Lions. FOX A-team. Detroit throwbacks. National audience. Playoff leverage. NFC North stakes. A season-hinging short-week test for Jordan Love, Hafley’s defense, and Matt LaFleur’s “run first, hope later” philosophy.

A win sweeps Detroit, flips the playoff math, and sends Green Bay into December controlling its destiny.
A loss? Welcome back to the Wild-Card Thunderdome.

We break down Gibbs on turf, Amon-Ra vs a banged-up secondary, whether Love can gut through another week on that shoulder, what Kerby Joseph’s absence means for the deep passing game, and whether the Packers’ newly forged Run Game + Death Star Defense + Competent Special Teams identity can survive a dome shootout.

Finally, in Hot Pockets, Jersey Al demands that LaFleur “flip the switch” and stop treating the offense like a fragile antique. CD delivers a fiery sermon on why this is a career-defining game for Jordan Love. And Kelly, as always, reminds us all that rivalry games on national TV don’t care about your feelings, your blood pressure, or your Thanksgiving side dishes.

If you like Vikings trolling, Lions dread, NFC North chaos, Turkey Day drama, and unfiltered Packers honesty, you’re home. This is Cheesehead Radio.
