On a brand spanking new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the abominable loss to Carolina, and just how much heat Matt LaFleur should take when there was quite a lot of other things that went wrong out of his control. Managers do not control injuries and wind. But they do control bubble screens and when to go for it on 4th and 8, and so the boys still let him have it a bit.

What's life like after Kraft? Nate Hobbs is hurt again. The pass rush was non-existent, and Rico Dowdle thrust his way to victory. Is there still a contender buried in there? Plus, listener questions!

On a brand new Reporting as Eligible, Matt, Paul, and JR discuss why this game was so fun, even though they were far from perfect and still left some points on the field. Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft rule, Micah Parsons is transcendent, Jordan Love completed 20 straight passes, and JR did a Matt.

Plus listener questions!

It's just Paul answering EVERY question in the 2025 Bourboncast.

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR try to figure out why this win was underwhelming. Is it the state of the league as a whole, which is weirdly down? Or is it just the Packer pace of play disguising their efficient underlying performance? Or it is just too much time talking about Ohio and Joe Flacco? The guys figure it out, while also giving you some facts on the pass rush, Jordan Love, the cornerbacks, and Matt LaFleur. Plus listener questions!

Let's take a look at the Bengals, and whether this is the gimme it seems like. Plus, are there any good teams in the league?

On a brand new RAE, Matt, Tyler, and a concussed Paul discuss the tie, the bloody frickin tie, and all of the normal Packer things that led to the 40-40 tie. At least it was a Scorigami.

The listener questions are out for blood, demanding answers on Rich B, the offensive line, and a head coach with absolutely no killer instinct or time management acumen. Can the wrongs be righted? Going in to the bye, what exactly are we dealing with in Green Bay? Find out on RAE!

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the hundred things that went wrong, which were just bad luck, which were now, and which are real actual problems. They also tackle (heh) Jordan Morgan and the offensive line, the consistently bad special teams, the conservative Matt LaFleur, the still amazing defense, and Russell Wilson trying to murder a crossbar. And of course, listener questions!

On this episode of RAE they guys mostly make puns and literary references, but also discuss how the Packers killed another elite opponent even though they could have scored even more. And now they get to play the Browns who are at least maybe not as bad as they seem because they played some tough teams, but also are probably bad. We also laugh at the Bears, and remind everyone that Harold Fannin runs like a duck. Also, listener questions!

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR discuss a dominating win over the Lions, the real impact of Micah Parsons, show some love to the rest of the defense, and discuss whether they took their foot off the gas just a bit too early. The boys also talk about the absence of Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, whether the Lions are actually, you know, good, whether the Vikings or Bears may be a threat, Jordan Love's low volume, high efficiency performance, and of course, listener questions!

Paul, Matt and JR kick off the season with a preview of the Lions, Micah Parsons' salary cap implications, injuries to both teams, NFC North predictions, Ben Johnson to John Morton, the awful spelling of TeSlaa, and of course, listener questions!
