Frozen Tundra Frequencies - Talking Green Bay Packers 24/7/1265

Zach, Alex, and Nick get on an international Christmas Eve conference call to get a post Bears loss vibe check and to talk about the state of the NFC playoff picture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's been a while since we've seen that kind of a collapse from the Green Bay Packers. We've seen it before, but the way that the Packers fell apart late in their 22-16 loss to the Chicago Bears on Saturday night feels awfully familiar. Tex breaks down tonight's game solo in a fairly brief episode of The Repack from the road, focusing heavily on the Packers' ongoing red zone issues, Romeo Doubs' muffed onside kick recovery attempt, and Keisean Nixon giving up both of the Bears' late touchdowns. Matt LaFleur didn't really do anything wrong in this one and Green Bay still had this one despite all of their injuries -- including losing Jordan Love to a concussion early -- or at least they had it until they didn't. Also, apologies for the weird background audio - please ignore the ambient music in the hotel gym. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. (Also, you can check out Mark's pod here) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, the Green Bay Packers sure don't look like a Super Bowl contender any more after Micah Parsons is down to one intact ACL. The Packers lost Sunday's game in Denver 34-26, but they lost so much more when Parsons went down and added his name to the list of wounded on Green Bay's roster. Between Parsons, another bizarre Christian Watson injury, Zach Tom and Evan Williams getting banged up, and more, it was a brutal day for a Packers team that actually looked pretty good in the first half against the AFC's number one team.Tex and Justis break down why it's time to remove any more emotion from this team for the rest of this season, discuss how the college coaching carousel might affect Matt LaFleur, and talk through the issues facing this team in the offseason, because it's pretty rough to spend too much time talking about the game. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nick and Alex discuss the Packers reclaiming the NFC North lead and anxiously await a game against the Broncos where Green Bay enters as road favorites. Potential Pain Scale + rising... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 28-21 in Week 14, taking back possession of the lead in the NFC North with four weeks left in the season. Tex and Justis Mosqueda break down the game, with nods to Christian Watson and Josh Jacobs for big performances in a crucial divisional matchup. Also: Micah Parsons is still great, Caleb Williams still can't operate a normal drop-back passing game, and Kingsley Enagbare had a big day with a big stop. And what was Ben Johnson thinking calling that play on 4th down that led to Keisean Nixon's game-sealing pick? The world may never know. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nick, Alex, and Zach reheat some Thanksgiving leftovers and talk about the ascending vibes surrounding the Packers after their turkey day defeat of the Detroit Lions. The guys then turn their attention to the (hopefully) out-over-their-skis Chicago Bears ahead of another division showdown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving for the third straight season, so Tex is breaking down their 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions from Thursday. From Jordan Love getting another turkey leg to Dontayvion Wicks' career game to Micah Parsons doing Micah Parsons things, it was a fun game to watch, especially with Matt LaFleur calling an aggressive game. It's also time to really start looking at the playoff picture, especially with a big game against the Chicago Bears -- currently the NFC's number one seed, if you can believe it -- coming up next Sunday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In tonight's episode of The Repack, Tex is joined by Tyler Brooke to discuss the Packers' oddly comfortable 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. J.J. McCarthy was hilariously bad, Micah Parsons reached double-digit sacks, Emanuel Wilson hit the century mark, and Daniel Whelan continued his All-Pro campaign. Meanwhile, the Packers made a big change on the offensive line that looks like it might be a good move in the long term. All in all, it was the easiest, most relaxing Packers game in a while, so let's all enjoy discussing that before what's sure to be a crazy Thanksgiving Day game against the Lions. Go Pack Go! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nick gives a boots-on-the-ground report after seeing the Packer beat the Giants at a gusty MetLife Stadium before we turn our attention toward the Vikings and JJ McCarthy. And prop bets. Also that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's time for another episode of The Repack after the Green Bay Packers' 27-20 win over the New York Giants. Justis joins Tex to discuss the game, where they talk about the horrible case of the drops that hit this team, costing them a much more convincing victory. Between 6 or 7 drops on offense and four dropped interceptions on defense, this team needs to figure out the fundamentals, and that might just come down to going cheap on the coaching staff. Also, Christian Watson was awesome (aside from his one drop), Daniel Whelan should be an All-Pro, and Savion Williams may have saved the Packers' season. But Emanuel Wilson? Let's not heap praise on someone who is just another guy. Still, it's a win, and there are some positive things to build on in the passing game, even if the run game didn't live up to expectations against a terrible run defense. Go Pack Go! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Paul had some bourbon and his voice was giving out. But he made it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zach, Alex, and Nick gather for a cathartic complain-a-thon including haikus, screeds, and soap boxes. Can LaFleur get his Packers cleaned up and ready to beat the New York Giants? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Has the NFL already passed Matt LaFleur by? On this week's episode of the Repack, Tex is joined by Paul Noonan and, later, Justis Mosqueda to discuss an abysmal offensive performance by the Green Bay Packers in their 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Why won't LaFleur adjust his offensive philosophy? Does he even understand when his unit is actually efficient? And why in the hell does this team insist on keeping two kickers on the roster but playing the one who's hurt? It's a bad sign when your season evokes memories of the 2015 and 2018 Mike McCarthy teams, but here we are. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zach and Nick are joined by special guest Justis Mosqueda to try to find something—anything—positive to say after a disastrous week for the Green Bay Packers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Packers made Tex and Justis mad as hell, and now you're all going to hear about it. Green Bay lost to the Carolina Panthers 16-13 on Sunday at Lambeau Field in a game when the offense had no answers, lost Tucker Kraft (probably for the year), and the defense couldn't get even a tiny bit of pressure on Bryce Young despite the Panthers playing several backup offensive linemen. That means tonight's Repack is a bit of a cathartic journey, exploring Matt LaFleur's shortcomings, chaos in the college football coaching ranks, and how and when the Packers should try to move on from kicker Brandon McManus. Hopefully this will be as much of an emotional release for you, the listener, as it was for Justis and Tex. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zach, Alex, and Nick gather to reflect on Jordan Love's performance against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, and to celebrate Tucker Kraft's National Tight Ends Day YAC-a-thon. The Green Bay Packers vibes = high, folks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sunday night felt like a real passing of the torch moment for Jordan Love, as he out-dueled old man Aaron Rodgers in the Green Bay Packers' 35-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Evan "Tex" Western and special guest Justis Mosqueda break down the Packers' big prime time win, which featured a massive game from Tucker Kraft and big contributions from Christian Watson and Emanuel Wilson as the team owned the second half en route to their victory. It wasn't perfect -- looking at you, Brandon McManus -- but it feels like one of the most satisfying wins in recent memory, at least in the immediate aftermath. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zach, Nick, and Alex talk play calling, hip drop tackles, and Nate Hobbs before turning their attention to the Packers upcoming Aaron Rodgers reunion game in Pittsburgh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's just Paul answering EVERY question in the 2025 Bourboncast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Green Bay Packers aren't playing up to their potential, but they did enough in the second half in their Week 7 game against the Arizona Cardinals to emerge victorious. Evan "Tex" Western breaks down Green Bay's 27-23 win, starting with Matt LaFleur turning into a bit of a gambler in this game -- maybe he's reading the posts and listening to the podcasts? -- and getting rewarded with a crucial 4th-down conversion to help lead to a go-ahead touchdown. We also saw a franchise-record field goal, the first takeaway by the defense since Week 3, and a hat trick for Micah Parsons! Listen, like, subscribe, and let's all hope that we see less Nate Hobbs and more Carrington Valentine at outside cornerback next week in Pittsburgh! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zach, Alex, and Nick regroup after 6 weeks of NFL football and 5 Packers games to do basically what we've done every week for 8 years, debate how we feel about this team relative to the rest of the league. You'd think it'd be clearer by now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Packers got back on track - sort of - in their return from their bye week with a 27-18 victory over the Bengals. Justis Mosqueda and Tyler Brooke join Tex to break down why the offense is still on the upswing, what happened to the defense in the second half, and some pretty good special teams play! Also, Tyler gloats over Justis for Indiana-Oregon and Tex celebrates the Brewers' game 5 win over the Cubs. It's a little of everything this week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nick, Alex, and Zach reluctantly accept a Teams call from corporate to participate in quarterly reviews of various Packers position and coaching groups. Who met OKRs? Who needs to upskill? Don't table it. Don't circle back. Just click play and get the ball rolling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Green Bay Packers had a bye in week 5, but there's plenty to talk about with the team sitting at 2-1-1 after the first quarter of the 2025 season. Tex and special guest Justis Mosqueda break down the frustrating issues that cost the Packers two wins in their last two games, why special teams is hard to coach when your personnel department and head coach only let you play backups, and why Matt LaFleur has cut the fuel lines on his own "All Gas, No Brake" message from a few years ago. The good news? The Bengals await next week, having given up 27 points in four straight games and featuring a noodle-armed backup quarterback with a terrible offensive line in front of him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Zach away, Nick and Alex try to decide how to feel about a game the Packers should have won but also absolutely deserved to lose. They did neither of those things. Does a draw tie against the Cowboys undo anything they said they thought they knew about this club team last week? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zach, Alex, and Nick flush what memories remain of last week's frustrating loss to the Cleveland Browns and look ahead to the Packers' upcoming game against the seemingly undermanned Dallas Cowboys. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Evan "Tex" Western is traveling and watched Packers-Brown from a bar in Split, Croatia with several fellow Packers fans. That's enough about that dumb game - Juraj and Josip, co-hosts of the Cro Pack Cro podcast, join the show to give their thoughts and talk about international Packers fandom! Hosted on Acast.

Zach, Nick, and Alex check in after two weeks to discuss what we think we've learned about the Packers (and others) after an exciting two weeks of football. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On Thursday Night Football, the Green Bay Packers were missing their two highest-paid offensive linemen, they saw a starting wide receiver get injured in the first few minutes of the game, and they committed multiple penalties that directly swung points away from them. And yet, they still beat a team that was in the NFC Championship Game last season, and they beat them by more than one score. What is the Packers' ceiling this season? Does it even exist? All we know is that the Packers are 2-0 and look like they're ready to rampage through the NFC, and Tex Western takes you through their 27-18 win over the Washington Commanders on TNF. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zach, Nick, and Alex revel in the glory that was the Packers' week one victory over the Lions before quickly turning their attention to the Commanders on a short turnaround week to make some prop bets. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Green Bay Packers dominated all phases of their week 1 game against the Detroit Lions, and Micah Parsons was at the center of a fantastic defensive performance. Tex breaks down the Packers' 27-13 victory, how Parsons helped other players make big plays, and why a two-play drive was one of the critical points in this team asserting dominance over the two-time defending NFC North champions. And guess what else - we get to watch Micah Parsons face a rookie right tackle in just a few short days! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's funky, it's weird, it's week one, baby! Zach, Alex, and Nick talk Micah Parsons, the Guy Draft, and prop bets ahead of the Packers' season opener against the Lions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guys, we got Micah! Did we get Micah? Yeah we did. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Believe it, Green Bay Packers fans - the team really did just pull off a trade for one of the best players in the NFL. Micah Parsons is now a Packer, as the team executed a trade to acquire him from the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday afternoon. Tex Western is joined by special guest Justis Mosqueda, who has been closely following the situation the last few weeks to go over how the trade came together and just what Parsons can bring to this Packers defense in 2025 and beyond. Don't worry too much about what the Packers' cap sheet looks like in 2026 - this deal is all about the now, and it has vaulted the Packers into position as one of the Super Bowl favorites. Let's break it all down! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
