On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Gary Ellerson try to make sense of the Packers after their humiliating loss to Atlanta. Homer asks a question that hasn’t felt legitimate in decades: are the Packers one of the worst teams in football? Gary boils Green Bay’s problems down to three fundamentals: they can’t run the football, they can’t stop the run and they lead the league in penalties. As Gary puts it, “so goes the line, so goes the team.”

The guys debate whether Matt LaFleur is capable of completely changing how he coaches this team. Homer believes LaFleur looks lost because he’s trying to operate like he still has the roster from previous seasons, while Gary says this version of the Packers requires a more conservative approach. They also question Green Bay’s philosophy of drafting smaller, versatile offensive linemen after Jagger Burton’s struggles and wonder whether Brian Gutekunst has simply built the wrong group up front.

Plus, Homer and Gary debate who deserves the most blame between Gutekunst, LaFleur and the players, while Gary explains why Tucker Kraft deserves some patience as he works his way back physically and mentally. And in the Three Pillars, they identify Jordan Love, Matthew Golden and Christian Watson as the pieces Green Bay must build around if there’s any hope of creating a functional quick-game offense behind this struggling line.

Kyle Wallace fills in on The Homer Hour and wastes no time sounding the alarm over the Packers’ offensive line. Aaron Banks has officially been ruled out against Atlanta, Zach Tom is done for the season and Green Bay could be forced to protect Jordan Love with a completely reshuffled group. Kyle asks who deserves the most blame for a unit that has struggled to protect Love, establish the run and keep the offense out of brutal third-down situations.

Jason Wilde joins the show and says the Packers are still trying to figure out exactly what they are through two uneven weeks. Wilde expects a possible starting five of Jordan Morgan, Jagger Burton, Sean Rhyan, Jacob Monk and Anthony Belton against Atlanta and explains why committing to that group could at least give Green Bay some desperately needed continuity. He also says the offense may need simplified protections, additional blockers and a functioning running game to keep Love upright.

Plus, Wilde offers a different explanation for Matt LaFleur’s controversial run-run sequence against the Jets: maybe the conservative play calling wasn't about a lack of trust in Jordan Love, but a lack of trust in the offensive line protecting him. Then Tim Van Voren joins Kyle to discuss the Brewers’ World Series chances, his concerns about Wisconsin football and why Thursday night against Atlanta is a game the Packers simply have to win.

The Homer Hour is live from American Family Field for the Rally for October as Homer and Jerry Augustine celebrate a Brewers organization headed to the postseason for the eighth time in nine years and coming off its fourth consecutive NL Central championship. Augustine explains how Milwaukee has built one of baseball’s premier organizations through player development, pitching infrastructure and finding players who fit the culture, with Jacob Misiorowski serving as a perfect example of how the Brewers turn raw talent into polished major-league pitching.

Then Homer is joined by Brewers fan favorites Corey Hart and Jeff Jenkins to ask the big October question: is this Milwaukee’s best opportunity to reach the World Series since 1982? Hart and Jenkins explain why this Brewers team feels different from some of their own playoff clubs, praising the organization’s ability to continually replace departing stars, develop young players and create a clubhouse where everyone embraces their role. Jenkins also compares the current Brewers’ chemistry to the 2008 Phillies team he won a World Series with.

Plus, Hart and Jenkins explain what changes once October arrives and why Milwaukee’s biggest challenge may be resisting the urge to change anything at all. Jenkins says “every pitch is an event” in the postseason, while Hart believes the Brewers need to stay within themselves instead of chasing power or trying to become a different team. Their formula is simple: keep playing the same brand of baseball that got them here.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga celebrate the most important fact from Sunday: the Packers won the game. But once they move beyond the final score, Bulaga admits Green Bay’s 20-17 overtime escape against the Jets was beyond ugly. The offense showed almost no life for much of the afternoon, while the defense and special teams repeatedly kept the Packers alive.

Jason Wilde joins Homer and Bulaga to sort through an offensive line that was nearly wiped out by injuries. With Zach Tom potentially facing a lengthy absence, Aaron Banks battling another injury and Donovan Jennings also going down, Green Bay finally turned to Jagger Burton. Wilde and Bulaga believe the likely group moving forward is Jordan Morgan, Burton, Sean Rhyan, Jacob Monk and Anthony Belton, with very little proven depth remaining behind them.

There are real reasons for optimism elsewhere. Bulaga names Lukas Van Ness as one of his biggest standouts after another strong performance, while Wilde points to Skyy Moore revitalizing a return game that had been nonexistent. The guys also praise Jonathan Gannon and a defense that has played well in consecutive weeks without Micah Parsons. If that defense and special teams can continue carrying their weight, the offense may not need to be spectacular while Green Bay pieces its line back together.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Gary Ellerson are still trying to understand how the Packers let another game completely unravel. Gary’s biggest concern remains an offensive line in “shambles,” especially after Green Bay spent the offseason evaluating Anthony Belton and Jagger Burton only to start Jacob Monk and Donovan Jennings. The guys question why changes weren’t made during the Vikings game and whether Belton and Burton could now find themselves in the lineup against the Jets.

Homer believes he’s finally found the phrase that defines the Matt LaFleur Packers: “Hall of Fame flinchers.” Borrowing from Barry Alvarez’s Don’t Flinch philosophy, Homer argues Green Bay’s biggest issue isn’t simply toughness. When adversity arrives, one bad moment snowballs into another instead of the Packers settling down and regaining control. Gary pushes back on how much blame belongs specifically on LaFleur, leading to a debate over whether these late-game failures are really unique to this era.

Gary also explains why the protection disaster against Brian Flores bothered him so much. Offensive linemen, tight ends and running backs all have to communicate against pressure packages, and Gary says Green Bay looked completely unprepared despite having plenty of film on Minnesota’s scheme. Looking ahead, he expects changes at guard and believes the Packers finally respond against the Jets, predicting a 28-10 Green Bay win.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga agree on the biggest takeaway from Week 1: the Packers cannot allow Jordan Love to take another beating like that. Bulaga calls Love’s performance phenomenal considering he was hit 18 times and explains how much more dangerous Green Bay’s offense could become if the protection improves even slightly. The guys expect changes at guard and debate whether Jagger Burton should have gotten an opportunity against Minnesota before the protection completely collapsed.

Jason Wilde joins Homer and Bulaga to examine what Green Bay’s offensive line could actually look like against the Jets. Wilde believes Jagger Burton could replace Donovan Jennings if Aaron Banks remains unavailable, while Jacob Monk may get another opportunity at right guard. The guys question why Burton received so much first-team work during training camp only to be passed over in Week 1 and whether different opinions inside the coaching staff contributed to the decision.

Plus, Bulaga explains why Sunday’s game is already enormous for Green Bay. Another loss would extend the Packers’ skid and raise serious questions about whether a talented roster can actually translate that talent into wins. For Homer and Bulaga, everything starts with one priority: keep No. 10 upright.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True gets the latest from Jason Wilde on how the Packers could respond to their Week 1 offensive-line disaster. Aaron Banks returned to practice on a limited basis, but Wilde says Green Bay could turn to Jagger Burton at left guard and even move Anthony Belton back to right guard. With the Jets looming, Wilde explains why an 0-2 start would turn the volume way up on Matt LaFleur and the Packers.

Wilde also shares what he learned from Jordan Love and Jayden Reed about Love’s unusual ability to make accurate throws while fading away from pressure. Reed compares it to Kobe Bryant’s fadeaway jumper, and Wilde explains why that unconventional skill became a lifesaver with Love constantly running for his life against Minnesota. Plus, why didn’t Green Bay use screens to slow down the Vikings’ relentless pass rush?

Tim Van Voren joins the show to turn toward the Brewers after their fourth straight NL Central title. TVV explains why he feels better about Milwaukee’s World Series chances than he did a year ago, how the first-round bye could allow the Brewers to line up Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson atop their playoff rotation and why Robert Gasser and Dustin May could become crucial October arms.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Jason Wilde continue dissecting the Packers’ collapse in Minnesota and Matt LaFleur’s decision to take three points off the board. Wilde believes LaFleur’s offseason obsession with “finishing” may have actually influenced him to become overly aggressive on fourth-and-one. With Green Bay’s defense controlling Carson Wentz and the crowd quiet, Wilde argues that finishing the game meant understanding the situation and protecting an eight-point lead, not simply going for the knockout punch.

Wilde also provides new insight into Green Bay’s offensive line decisions, including why Donovan Jennings surprisingly started over rookie Jagger Burton despite Burton receiving most of the first-team work during Aaron Banks’ training camp absences. Wilde wouldn’t be surprised if Burton gets the next opportunity at left guard or if Anthony Belton begins competing with Jacob Monk at right guard as the Packers search for answers before facing the Jets.

Plus, Homer opens the phones with a simple rule: you get 30 seconds to fix the Packers. Fans unload on LaFleur’s adjustments, the offensive line, Green Bay’s repeated late-game collapses and whether the head coach needs someone helping him manage games.

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga try to explain how the Packers went from controlling Minnesota for three quarters to completely collapsing in the fourth. Bulaga argues the warning signs were there all afternoon, with Jordan Love repeatedly escaping pressure and making spectacular plays despite shaky protection. He explains why Green Bay failed to properly adjust with screens, draws and quick throws before the pressure finally overwhelmed the offense.

Then surprise guest TJ Lang joins his former teammate for an offensive-line summit. Lang and Bulaga discuss what they believe is missing from the current Packers line, including the toughness, attitude and accountability their units played with. Lang explains why protecting Jordan Love goes beyond simply blocking and why offensive linemen need to make opponents understand there are consequences for taking shots at their quarterback. He also delivers a message directly to Green Bay’s offensive line about the responsibility that comes with wearing the Packers helmet.

Alex Strouf fills in for Steve “Homer” True alongside Gary Ellerson on The Homer Hour as the guys try to figure out just how good the Packers can actually be in 2026. Strouf believes Green Bay’s ceiling could be among the best teams in football, but questions surrounding the offensive line, Josh Jacobs’ absence, Micah Parsons’ injury and a brand-new defense leave plenty of uncertainty. Gary agrees and wonders whether the Packers have actually fixed the problems that contributed to their five-game losing streak to end last season.

Without Jacobs, Gary believes Sunday’s offense falls heavily on Jordan Love and Green Bay’s pass catchers. The guys break down what Marshawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks and Caleb Johnson can provide in the backfield and why the Packers need to stop rotating offensive linemen and finally establish continuity up front. Plus, Gary explains why Minnesota is actually the NFC North team that scares him most and predicts a wild 35-28 Packers win, with Love needing to carry the offense against Brian Flores and the Vikings.
