The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust begins with Kyle Wallace attempting to recover from what he calls “Packers-induced psychosis” after Green Bay’s sixth straight loss. From the mysterious basement mouse to literally questioning his own shadow, Ben wonders whether a win over the Jets is the only thing capable of returning Kyle to normal.
Then the guys uncover another troubling Matt LaFleur trend: since the start of last season, Green Bay is just 7-5 in games in which it has held a nine-point lead, while the rest of the NFL wins in that situation at a 95% rate. Kyle questions how an offseason built around “finishing” and stripping the offense “down to the studs” immediately produced many of the same problems, and argues the Packers need more than a win against the Jets. They need to impose their will and prove they can finally put an opponent away.
Plus, Jordan Love expresses confidence that the offensive line will bounce back, and Kyle finds some reasons for optimism in an offense that produced seven plays of 20-plus yards, 147 receiving yards from Christian Watson and nearly 100 from Matthew Golden. And Over/Under tests Kyle and Ben on the last Packers offensive linemen to earn All-Pro honors, providing a painful reminder of how far Green Bay’s once-dominant line has fallen.
