On a new Reporting as Eligible, Matt, JR, and Paul discuss Stephen King mostly off mic before turning to the game, and what if anything we can learn. They then move on to the Bears, and what we can expect in the third and final meeting between the two. Plus, do the Packers cheap out on coaches? Do they realize Gary is cooked? And is Diggs going to save the secondary? And of course, listener questions!

Paul and Rcon tackle the defensive performance, which involved very little tackling. The Packers will make the playoffs and they will likely be facing the Bears. Are they doomed? Will everyone copy the Ravens' plan? Or is Derrick Henry really a unicorn that can't be replicated, and we should still have hope? Will getting healthier help, or can anything else be done? And as always, listener questions!

On a holiday episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR discuss the debacle that was the Bears' game, and whether we should really worry much given how lucky the Packers were with the results on Sunday. Plus Malik Willis is awesome, Rashan Gary is not, and apparently you're sick of asking about Keisean but we're talking about him anyway. Plus, how to deal with uppity Bears fans, our playoffs prospects, and listener questions!

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, JR, Paul, and Special Guest/RAE question-asker extraordinaire Mark Podskarbi tackle the fallout from the Broncos game and immediately tear their ACLs in doing so. Have the guys calmed down? Is 2026 over too? Or does a lackluster field of competitive teams mean that hope is still alive, even this year? They also talk vacation destinations, middle names, meats, reasonable expectations, and of course, listener questions.

On a new Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, and Tyler revel in Bear misery...but not enough Bear misery for Paul's taste, as much of Chicago is stoked by this loss. The boys point out why you shouldn't be happy about getting torched by Christian Watson and famous cornerback Bo Melton, why Josh Jacobs may have saved the season, the trouble with the late run defense, Keisean Nixon roasts, and Tom Brady not being able to tell the truth because of a big ol conflict of interest. And also he's bad at his job. Both of his jobs. Also, enter our raffle here!

On a new Reporting as Eligible, the guys discuss the Lions game, whether beating a compromised injury plagued team is really that good, and then they turn to the Bears where they cover whether beating the Eagles is really all that. There's McDuffie praise, talk of one-score games, DVOA, Ben Johnson and the roof-punching guy, Love as an MVP candidate, Jordan Morgan not playing, Devonte Wyatt, and of course, listener questions.

So, with Jordan's shoulder all hurt and Emanuel Wilson going crazy on Minnesota, did Matt learn bad lessons? Or was this a just the smart plan against one of the worst quarterbacks of all time. And will the show be longer than the game was? Tune in and find out with Paul and Matt!

On a new Reporting as Eligible, the guys report on how this game grew on them, how Jordan Love was secretly very good to the extent that it was debatably the best game of his career, how Malik Willis is a very good backup, and how everyone need to learn to catch, and also return punts.

They guys also take on Rashan Gary, Stone Temple Pilots, sideline urination, hard playing surfaces, wind, and several other hot topics of the day, including listener questions!

Paul had some bourbon and his voice was giving out. But he made it!

On a post-loss, record-setting Reporting as Eligible, the guys discuss the future of Matt LaFleur, what the Packers should have done, kicking, injuries, how Jordan messed up fourth down, procedure penalties, Jeff Hafley's defense, and just a ton of listener questions.
