• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, what happened was that second game, we got our
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: ass kicked. The second half, we just got our ass
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: totally kicked. We couldn't do diddly-poo offensively. We couldn't make
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a first down. We couldn't run the ball. We didn't
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: try to run the ball. We couldn't complete a pass.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: We sucked.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: The second half, we sucked. We couldn't stop the run.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Every time they got the ball, they went down and
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: got points. We got our ass totally kicked in the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: second half. That's what it boiled down to. It was
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a horseshit performance in the second half.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Horseshit.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I'm totally embarrassed and totally ashamed. Coaching did a horrible job.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: The players did a horrible job. We got our ass
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: kicked in that second half.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: It sucked.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It stunk.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: That was not Matt LeFleur.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Following the Packers 35-14 loss.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: One of the all-time Jim Mora. I think he summed
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: it up well.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: I was going to say somehow summed it up perfectly
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: for what we just watched last night.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: I think folks might've been comforted to hear Matt LaFleur
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: say that he did not. Of course, Irish cricket, everybody
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: who watched that game last night, especially those of you
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: who hung around with us on Packers OT, which wrapped
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: up at 1 a.m. at Lambeau field. We've been here
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: since five, bringing it to you. We're going to be
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: here for another hour. Wayne Larrabee joins the party coming
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: up at 730, 735, somewhere in that neighborhood. We'll be
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: talking to the voice of the Packers. Sources post my
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: situation confirmed. that the sun did rise in the east
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: this morning.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: It's a little cloudy out there. The sun did come
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: up despite the Packers' best efforts last evening.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: Billy always looks for himself to make sure. I went
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: out there and checked a couple of times. Trust but verify.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: After that nice harvest waxing gibbous moon last night or
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: whatever they were calling it last night. So, yeah, the
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: sun did come up. It's out there.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Most in a road game since 2008, rushing for the
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Atlanta Falcons of 242. 17 rushing yards, third fewest in
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: a game for the Packers since 1933. And again, I
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: still think the craziest thing is that that team in
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: the 30s didn't run for more than 17 yards. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: don't think they were throwing forward passes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to check.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know how many forward passes
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: they actually threw in those games. So that might somehow
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: be more demoralizing. But Drew, I mean, it is.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: The sun did rise in the east.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: And luckily for some folks, they maybe had Bijan Robinson
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: or Drake London throw on their fantasy team. So at
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: least they got somewhat of that emotional hedge from last night, but, uh,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: it's tough to be forecasting through and not feeling the
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: overwhelming sentiment from what we heard from Jordan love last night,
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: which was just simply frustrated because, uh, I think as
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: you counted it up last night in his, uh, what
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: nine minute post game briefing after the game with the media,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: he dropped the word frustrated, frustrated, frustrating, It's going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: continue to frustrate us somewhere 10 to 12 times, a
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: dozen times those nine minutes. And I think it was
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: a pretty good encapsulation of what we saw.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: That's pretty appropriate.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: I did find the box score though, from that game.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: If it makes you want to feel better, that was
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: the worst game I'd say. And then 1933 than this one.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: That was the old, they play the Portsmouth lions.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Close.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: They play the Boston Redskins. And that came the Boston Redskins.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: That was the old Spartans.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: I think by that, that was the opener. You know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Arnie Herbert, you guys know the name, but he was
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: a quarterback. So we know that name. He had two
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: runs for negative 15 yards, so that kind of skews
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: it a bit. But your boy Hank Bruder had 12
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: attempts for three yards, and Hurtis McCrary had five for eight. Oh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: Hurtis the Turtis. Then you had a lot of guys
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: trying to run. Clark Hinkle ran 15 for 42, but.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: You had Wirt.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not even kidding.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: W-U-E-R-T.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you say that name. You think
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: some names are weird now. Wirtmeister? Wirt Engelman, who.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: Ran three times for a negative 21.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Brother, get back on the bus. All right. I'm sorry.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: And that's, so there you go. That was the worst
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: game I'd say. So we can take solace in that,
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: that it was worse in 1933.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Um, right.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Guys.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, that makes you feel better a little bit.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Hey, I have no fear. The Calvary is coming. If
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: the Packers will activate Cordell Volson off the practice squad
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: for their next game. Now we've been talking about the
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: postgame comments and Tucker craft kind of saying, well, I
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: didn't expect to get booed on them. at our home
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: opener by our own fans. I don't think of booing
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: at Lambeau Field. Well, it's happened before, right, Billy? We've
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: been there. It's happened. Happened last year when they played
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: the Ravens.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Plenty of times, yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I know Tucker Craft was hurt, but it's happened before.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Matt LaFleur's refusal to even entertain the question of whether
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: he's going to make staff changes. He didn't stand by
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: his guys. He just said, I'm not going to answer that,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: which is not the best answer you can give in
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: that situation. Sometimes a no comment's the best answer you
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: can give. But in this case, I think he just
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: should have said, we're all going to work together. The staff,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I love my staff. We're all going to work together.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: We're going to get after this.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, in this case, saying I'm not going to answer
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: the question was a weirder way of answering the question.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: While not answering the question, answered it. Yeah, I'm not
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: going to talk about it because I'm definitely going to
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: go up there and start screaming at some folks and
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: maybe some folks' jobs will be on the line sooner
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: than you want to think.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we got that working for us. Against the
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: backdrop of Again, this isn't a new thing, and we
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: can go back to last year because we still have
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: PTSD from it. I'm doing all those losses in a row, Billy,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: from December on. And it was a nice ray of
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: sunshine when the Packers beat the Jets in overtime. But
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: the value of that win and the grit that it
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: took to win on the road in the rain and
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: all that stuff is now kind of the goodwill that
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: they built up is gone. Because now I'm looking at
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: this team, and they're definitely– closer to oh, and three
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: than they are even two and one.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Let the rain come in, come, come and clean. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: washed away everything for it. I mean, that was a
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: wash away of the wind, kind of like the washout
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: that you saw at Tampa in that stands. Cause you,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: you can very easily be camouflaged with success. So we,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: we say it a lot of times that winning is a,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: is a definite cure-all and it, can mask a lot of.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: The, not necessarily problems. We all saw it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: We all talked about it throughout the week, but at
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: some point kind of convinced yourself that maybe the worst is,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: is behind you. Got asked last night on post game, drew,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: does it get worse before it gets better? And if
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: it does, it's to Liz's question here.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Good morning guys.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: If the Packers only get five wins, does anyone stay
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: or does everyone stay? I don't know exactly what, how
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: on earth everybody can stay if you only win five
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: games in a football season because it's going to get
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: late real quick. And if it gets worse before it
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: gets better, it's going to be very, very late. Got
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: a lot of text in here rolling through. Josh in
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: the Falls. If Matt LaFleur would have went on a
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Mora-esque postgame tirade, I would have been leading the charge
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: to keep him.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think fans would want to hear that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: But he would never even entertain the idea of saying
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: something like that. Instead, we get the weekly, we got
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: to be better, and it starts with me, which is
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: the equivalent of patting your chest and saying, my bad.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: We know it's your bad, so Matt LaFleur can go now.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Thanks, bye.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I will.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Drew and I, we did talk about it on the
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: way home last night and we had talked about it
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: after the game against the bears a year ago in
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: the playoffs or a little less than a year ago
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: that the easiest time, if that was going to be
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: the decision drew was about six months ago and they
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: kind of doubled down and I would struggle to see
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: anything being a Huge seismic shift this quickly. It's definitely
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: not happening this quickly, but if it only gets worse
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: from here and more times than not, you're seeing your
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: $ 220 million quarterback peeling his backup off the turf. There's
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: going to be a lot of questions that got to
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: get answered. And the unique part of what happened with
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: the contract extensions this year and somebody can correct me
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: if I'm wrong, but I don't believe I am. There
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: was a little bit more of a shift back to
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: the old way of doing business where there was one
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: man kind of in charge of football. And that man
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: is kind of Brian Gutekunst. And if indeed he would
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: make the decision that it's not the roster's fault that
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: he's put together in the offensive line that he's put together,
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: it's the development of those pieces that they've brought in.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: It could get into a very interesting power struggle over
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: the next, uh, next three to four months if it
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: doesn't get better very quickly.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Winning is great deodorant. So we'll have a completely
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: different conversation.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: We all need one here today because I don't know
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: that everybody's wearing their iron jock after a game like
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: last night.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: There's too much sweat.

• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Paul Hanson, who I'm sure was miffed at the proceedings.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: How could he not be?
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: That was embarrassing.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Here's how bad it is for the Packers right now.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Jets fans are like, how'd we lose to those stiffs? Yeah.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Jets fans are saying that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: It's almost amazing to think that we had a lead
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: on the Vikings right now.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Like for me to score leading, you know, that's kind
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: of like, yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: And that's what makes this league so weird. And like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: cause you saw what the Falcons were like last week.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: Now they had a new quarterback, but you're like, this
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: is a totally different team. And The Packers could have
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: beat the Vikings and lost to the Jets. This is
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: just a weird league, and it feels like right now
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: the Packers won't ever win again after what we saw
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: last night, but we know that's not going to happen.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And it might come next week. That's what's weird about
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: this league.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Ken, I got a couple of good more texts to
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: make sure that we get to it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Love this one from Eric, the superintendent. I've learned over
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the years.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Years that it's never as bad as Dan Needles makes
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: it seem or as optimism Armin can make it seem.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not helping today, am I?
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: We had bad, bad Packers years before. This will get better,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: or things will drastically change. But hey, go crew.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Incredible.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: I do like that we get our two friends on
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: the opposite ends of the spectrum. It's never going to
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: be as bad as maybe Needles could let it known.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: And it's never going to be a sunshine roses, puppy
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: dogs and ice cream as we might make it seem
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: by Armin. Even you haven't been able to bust out
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: the puppy dogs and ice cream last night.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: The only thing I can, the only kind of optimism
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: I see is that, you know, maybe like, like I've
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: said it multiple times already, things change quickly into the NFL.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Like you think, you know, what's going to happen and
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: you don't. And that's a very uncomfortable, comfortable thing now,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: but it's like, well, maybe it's It'll turn around, but they,
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I, they, they cannot survive doing this
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: without running the ball better. I just don't see how you,
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: you can't sustain offense. And if your passing game is
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: your hallmark, that's fine, but you have to have a
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: threat of run these days. to keep teams honest, because
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: if they're in that too high and you can't run
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: on it, it's very, very hard to be successful. And
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: that's kind of, that's the real bugaboo I see right now,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: is how that's going to get fixed, and if it
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: can get fixed. And what's the way to do it?
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Is it to stick to Caleb only, Marshawn only, back
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: by committee, or just give them more time to get
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: more reps?
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: And we've been talking about the defense, I mean, we're
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: talking about the offense. The defense faltered again last night,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and when it rains it pours because didn't they give
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: up like 22 or 24 unanswered points against 22 in
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: minnesota and like 24 last night and maybe what 17
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: against the jets.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Those are all those are all correct numbers can't stop
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: the bleeding.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's the thing is like you can't get a
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: stop and make a play and there were times early
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: on they were getting pressure but the pressure that um
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Michael Penix Jr. faced was mostly in his first two series,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: and after that it was clean sheet because they were
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: running the ball so well. There's nothing that the Packers
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: could do scheme-wise to slow him down.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: No, and even trying to bring up Evan Williams in
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: run support, I think drew on the 55-yarders I'm watching
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: right here. That's exactly what the thought is. We're going
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: to bring Williams down in the box, try to slow
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: this thing down. Instead, that hesitation... And that burst that
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Bajon Robinson was showcasing last night, it was a man
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: amongst boys. There's a moment while Evan Williams is cutting
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: inside to come in to run support, and you see
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: him almost realize in stride, that dude's fast, fast.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to catch him. The realization happens real quickly.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Maybe I'm like the second step, kind of like me
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: as a fat kid, seeing the, the interception. You're like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I'm totally tracking this guy down with a proper pursuit angle.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: And you fall on your face about 35 yards away.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: He ends up being a part of the tackle inside
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: the five, but took far too long to be able
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: to come anywhere close to it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: That is hilarious. When we come back, we've got a
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: couple awards to give away, and we're going to clear
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: the deck to talk to the voice of the Packers,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Wayne Larrabee, coming up in about 20 minutes from right now.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. You can
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: reach us in the NicoletLaw.com talk and text line. And
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: many of you are at 877-794-1973. Drew, Billy, and Armin
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: bringing it to you on this day after a Packers debacle,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the home opener at Lambeau Field. Brewers won their 100th game.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: If I had my bell, I would ring it. But
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I don't have my bell because I'm at State Leal.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: So that's positive. And they wrapped up home field advantage throughout,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: not just the world series, but through the NLCS, they
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: did it in reverse order.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I love that. That is one of the funniest things
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: they hear.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: And then as you say it, it makes you chuckle
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: every single time that that's just how dominant the NL
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: has been this year and was, and man, it sets
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: up for a fascinating October. I know that you got,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: there's work to do, Drew, before you get to the
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: series that everybody still has circled, but Man, LA seems
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: to be rolling right now. You seem to be playing decent,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: albeit maybe a little slow on the offense this past
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: road trip, but man, gritty wins and in October, hopefully
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: to remember on the horizon coming up.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: On the one hand, we're looking at the Packers being
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: one and two and saying, well, it can get better.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, the bears were one and two last year.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: They won the division teams have done it before. In fact,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: the bears. 1-2 and 0-3 have been their default setting
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: for the last 30 years.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Texans were 0-3 last year, ended up having a lead
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: in the divisional round and probably should have won that
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: game against the Patriots if they had any semblance of
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: quarterback play.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: The flip side of that coin is the Brewers are
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: the first 100-win team in the National League since the
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Cubs in 2016. They won the World Series that year.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: But the last Three years since there was, yeah, several.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: The last several 100-win teams have not fared well in
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: the playoffs.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: No.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Outside of that.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: The Dodgers had a lot of 100-win years before they
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: finally broke through to win the World Series. But it
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: was sort of like them. The Braves did it a
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: lot and didn't win the World Series. They did win
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: with other teams. So it's kind of a weird thing.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: There's no doubt about it. I mean, winning 100 games
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: is great. It shows your dominance, but it guarantees nothing
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: for the playoffs.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I will say the one guarantee that I would have
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: for the playoffs is Pat Murphy is going to have
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: one move, Drew, that everybody's going to be talking about.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Last night, walking out and.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Yanking your all-star catcher for not running out a ground
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: ball in the fourth of the last regular season game.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Might as well just pitch a cheerio on his day
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: off and Let him go yard.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Spectacular. And let him go yard, yeah. Jackson Trujo, who
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: is in the 2020 club, right? And he's been fantastic.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: He can be one of our superheroes of the day.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Call Current.com. Current Electric. They're always superheroes. Because you
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: know what, Drew?
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Last.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Hold on. We deal with facts here. I don't want
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: to give out misinformation on this program. Yes, Current Electric
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: has never given up 200-plus rushing yards in a game.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: That's amazing.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Current Electric, superheroes on defense because they are going to
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: help you go on the offensive against.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Your home if indeed there's issues.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Safety precautions and a safety inspection is how you play
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: a little offense, be in defensive in your home. You
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: want to make sure that your home is safe and
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: sound and ready for the fall and for the winter.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Home safety inspection is Add current electric is the way
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: to do that. Call current.com to get yourself on the
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: list and go talk to those current electric superheroes.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Not, not many Packers worthy of superhero conversation. Although Matthew
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: golden scored his first regular season touchdown, first Lambeau field
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: touchdown at five catches for.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: A hundred yards.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Um, and he was getting old.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: It wasn't his fault that they lost, but he.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Couldn't even Lambeau leap.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, you could even tell he started to go
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: into like a muted celebration drew.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And then he's like, you know what?
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did actually look at the scoreboard. All right,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: here's the ball.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: It's a tough situation.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: It was smart, actually. It's a tough.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: I remember in the playoff game against the Giants, the
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Packers were down big in the divisional. The driver scored,
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: and he didn't leap. He pointed to the fans, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: he's like, I'm not doing it now. You've got to
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: be judicious about it. But Matthew Golden's been getting open
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: a lot, and he's been the mismatch deep he was
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: last night.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: He's an example of one of my favorite takes that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: There should be some sort of statistical credit for receivers
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: for the PI yards they get. Although it won't happen, obviously.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: Because he's been drawing a lot of them this year.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: And he's been, obviously, because he's been getting past guys.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: So that's the bright spot, I'd say, from last. And Watson, too,
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: I thought was decent. Kraft was disappointing last night.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Too many drops. Hey, you want to know one positive
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: from last night?
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I do. Please.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Fox 11 putting out. No arrests made during the Packers'
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: home opening loss.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: It's one of the good sides of being hammered the
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: way they were and having people leave early.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: The team got hammered so much that we couldn't.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: And it was a school fight. I bet there are
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: fewer arrests on Sunday nights and Thursday nights than there
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: are at other games.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: A hundred percent, Drew.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Even though last night you and I mentioned it, if
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: you had tickets and you woke up and you checked
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: out the weather, and you walked outside yesterday, and you
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: were in the Green Bay area, Appleton, surrounding areas. Maybe
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: you were driving in from a ways away, the valley.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Maybe you were coming in from Madison, God's country out
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: near La Crosse or so. You woke up, you checked
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: out the forecast, and you said, I'm taking all of
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: the day off. I'm getting there as early as possible.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: And the tailgating was live last night. Like you can
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: tell the tailgating was up early and that was why
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: it made it probably easier for that third quarter beer
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: nap to happen. How quiet it got because everybody had
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: too much fun on the postcard.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Perfect night last night. It did.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Speaking of fun, a runner up for current electric superhero
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: of the day is Ian Happ, who may have been
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: playing his final game. Uh, at Wrigley field as a
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: member of the Cubs who celebrated their punching their ticket
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: to a wildcard berth yesterday with a champagne celly as
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: they're headed to Boston to try to beat the Nor'easter.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: But Ian Happ threw a ball into the bleachers with
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: $ 300 in cash, rubber banded to it. and said, go
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: buy yourself some drinks.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: I think it's cool, but I don't like giving any
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: cub like here are the days.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to try and come up with a creative way. Okay,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: who's hot? Who's not? Who's hot? Can we allow him?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Can we allow him a.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Little bit of a hot? Armand, I said he was
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: a runner up.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I just want to come up with.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Let me try and make a creative way for me
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: to make him a villain for this, please.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: Well, the only way it would have been is if
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: there was an Armin Sarian in the crowd, Drew, that
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: would have gotten the ball, saw the $ 300 in cash,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: and said, I'm going on the blue line.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I'm getting out of here.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: And nobody's seeing a dime of this.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: With gas prices these days. But you know what? I mean,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: what did he say? He said, you know.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: buy beer money with this? How dare he say what
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: you should do with your money? Or how dare he
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: tell fans.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: What to do with their money? Okay. Maybe, maybe the NFL,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: maybe Roger Goodell can find him the way they did
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Kyle Juszczyk for pretending to have a juice.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: The no fun league has really been striking hard. Pantomiming.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: They thought he was trying to chug a beer and like,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: We're going to discuss this when we get back after
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: this message from Budweiser, the official beer.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: God forbid he'd drink a beer. Come on.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, with any more signage. Oh,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: and by the way, Budweiser signage all over still in
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: the Padres celebration.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, we'll see how that one fuddles through.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Insanity. Insanity. Who's hot, who's not is brought to us
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: by Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling. Billy, who do you
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: got for who's hot, who's not?
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Well, I was going to put the San Diego Padres
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: in the hot category because they have been hot for, what,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: the last four months? I mean, they've been white hot
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: for the last four months. And frankly, it all kind
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: of started with one of their, their two best guys
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: are three best guys. I'd throw Merrill Machado and the
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: biggest one, Fernando Tatis in that group. He would two
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: for three last night on base, three times drove in
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: a run in their victory against the Dodgers to clinch
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: their spot. They've now gone three straight times to the playoffs.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: I believe that's the first time in their franchise's history.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: They put out that they have been three consecutive years
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: to the playoffs. And Tatis has been a huge part
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: of it. My man didn't hit a bomb in the
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: first two months of the year. And now all of
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: a sudden you look up and he's a two, two
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: 90 hitter, 25 homers, and an eight 20 OPS player.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: He can, he can carry you for long stretches and
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: definitely has, and is right now for, for San Diego
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: rolling through.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: How about the.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Chicago white socks and Munataki Murakami. Now I've, Morikami comes
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: over for the five-year contract with the white socks and
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: he is celebrating like nobody's business yesterday. Brooke Fletcher asks
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: him on the broadcast inside the locker room. How do
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: you feel on a scale of one to 10? He
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: said a hundred. I'm a hundred.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I'm a hundred.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: And later on, she asked him one more question. He's like,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I'm Japanese. I don't even know what's happening right now.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I'm having way too.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Much fun and way too much of a celebration. That
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: felt like every delirious White Sox fan yesterday. Congratulations to them.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Two years ago, right? Two years ago, they were the
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: historically worst team baseball I'd ever seen.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty impressive. And now they're into the postseason.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. Credit to Hunter.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: He was working hard yesterday and he found it and
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: it's paying off for him. Murph said earlier this year
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: when the Brewers played the White Sox and struggled, he said,
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: that they have a better team than people think, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: they were going to be a team to be reckoned
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: with in the division.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Hunter found that audio.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: He posted it. So you can check it out on
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Hunter Baumgard's Twitter account.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Way to go, Hunter. And the Brewers did answer a question. First, again,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: we're talking a lot of Packers because that's what happened
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: most recently, but the Brewers winning two out of three
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: in Philadelphia when Philadelphia has played for their lives is impressive.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Hostile environment, all that, and playing a team with something
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: at stake where the Brewers kind of could have just coasted.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: How did the Brewers celebrate that? No champagne, Selly. 100 wins.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: If you want a shot, they had a high-end tequila
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: and some Pappy Van Winkle.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Take a shot. Toast.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Shot.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Let's get to work and beat the Cardinals.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That's workmanlike. That is blue-collar with very white-collar taste.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: Well, I was going to say, not that blue-collar budget
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: with some of those.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Well, no, not a blue-collar budget, but a blue-collar town.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Taste and towns, yeah. Well, whiskey, yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: And, oh, did we even mention, we talked about who's hot,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: but who's not hot for Donovan Jorgensen, the entire Packers
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: offensive line, entire Packers organization, because it is not hyperbole
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: right now to say the Packers are the worst team
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: in the National Football League.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: They'll be right in the conversation. They'll be right there
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: in the conversation.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Statistically, they're at the bottom of the barrel.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: They won a game.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know how.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: 30 second in third down percentage. Just about every possible
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: stat that you can look at. They're going to be
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: right near the bottom, if not the last.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Fantastic.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: That's a tough way to go out. Okay.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: That's a tough way to go out. When we come back,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: we will catch up with the voice of the Green
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Bay Packers. We'll close up our show and we'll catch
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: up with the voice of the Green Bay Packers. Wayne
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Laramie joins the party. Next, you're in the huddle. Fox
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio, Wisconsin. bringing it to you on fire. Your
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: agent Friday closing ceremonies are upon us as our last
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: segment of the week of the program and of the week.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: And we get to spend it with our pal Wayne Larrabee,
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: the voice of the Packers and Wayne between Packers OT
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: and the show this morning, Bill and I, Billy and
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I have spent more time talking about this Packers game
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: than you and Larry did describing it while it happened.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: And we still haven't scratched the surface of how ugly
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: it was.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Can you help us? Oh, I don't think so, Drew,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: but it was a tough watch. There's no doubt. I
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: was driving back last night, listening to you guys and
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: thinking that, oh my gosh, you guys along with Armin
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: are going to have to get up early in the
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: morning and do this show. And yeah, I tell you what,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: just not the way you'd like to open the season
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: at home. That's for sure, to say the least.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Wayne, I think one of the most frustrating parts of
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: it in the proceedings last night, all of it is frustrating,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: but when you start the game the way they did,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: and Drew kind of hit it on the head last week,
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: and you realize it when it's happening again. of they
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: haven't even handled success very well. I've been mentioning they
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: haven't handled failure very well. And you know, when the
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: avalanche of momentum goes on the other side, they haven't
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: had any defense to it. Like the 55 yard run
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: last night kind of spirals out of control, but you
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: get an interception on the fourth play of the game.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: And now two out of three games, you started the
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: game forcing an interception and you've gotten a combined three
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: points off of it. And both of those drives started
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: right around midfield. That is just the biggest example of
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: any kind of complimentary football has just been out the
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: window in these first three games.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And, and, you know, uh, that first drive after
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: the interception, uh, by, uh, McKinney, uh, passing, uh, it
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: was all, I think three passes and then a punt, right?
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, yep. That kind of told you where they were,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: where they are in the running game, both with backs
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: and the offensive line. So, but the, you know, the
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: loss of Josh Jacobs can't be underscored enough in my opinion,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: because he is your running game. It's obvious now. And
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: you've got guys who are relatively inexperienced. Chris Brooks is not,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: but the other two guys trying to run the football
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: are Marshawn Lloyd and Caleb Johnson. So, Uh, it's tough
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: in that regard, uh, because as we saw, you need
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: to be able to run the football in this league
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: to win. I thought the 55 yard run late, little
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: over three minutes ago in the first quarter by Bijan, uh, Robinson,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: that run to me changed the complex of the game,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the complexion of the game. And it never really changed anything.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: It never really reverted back. They didn't score on that run.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: They scored a few plays later. But that run itself,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: you could see it injected confidence in that Atlanta sideline,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: and it never left.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Talking to Wayne Levy, voice of the Packers, brought to
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: us on the program by Miller Lite, Wisconsin Concrete Coatings,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: and of course, Pottawatomie Sportsbook, where we hang out on
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Thursdays when the Packers aren't playing or it's not a
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: major holiday. Wayne, I was flashing back to the Baltimore
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: game in December when Derrick Henry and company just ran roughshod,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: and the Packers had no answer. And it felt very similar. yesterday,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: but the whole game itself, I felt like more, maybe,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know, recency bias or something. I felt more
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: downtrodden and hopeless after last night than I did in December.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I thought they're similar in that the Packers are
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: giving up large chunks of yardage on the ground. It
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: seemed like the tackling last night. Now you have to
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: understand Bijan Robinson forced over a hundred missed tackles a
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: season ago. He had 16 missed tackles forced in the
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: first two weeks of the season. coming into this game.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: It seemed like he forced a number of them last night.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I thought the tackling was a little spotty, to say
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: the least, for the Packers. I attribute it in many
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: respects to the fact that sometimes when you're playing on
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: a short week like this, you do get a situation
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: where you're not tackling very well, mostly because you haven't
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: really even wrapped anybody up. You've done walkthroughs all week.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: But both teams were playing under the same circumstances, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I didn't see Atlanta miss as many tackles. And so
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the Packers certainly won't use that as an excuse. But,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: you know, it was that back, and I said this
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: on the air, he's the best back they'll see all year.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: He's the best all-around back in the league. You can
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: talk about Saquon Barkley all you want. He can't catch
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: the ball. He can't make plays in the passing game
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: that this guy can't. And by the way, this guy
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: is the best runner in the league, in my opinion,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: as well. McCaffrey's the closest to him. I think this
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: guy is better than Christian McCaffrey right now. He's the
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: best they will see all year.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm with you, Wayne. And they've done a
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: really good job bottling up Gibbs. I think one of
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: the reasons is because he doesn't run in between the
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: tackles and outside the as well as Robinson does. And,
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: and that, that jump cut was disgusting last night. I mean,
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: it was human joystick. Didn't do it justice for how
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: quickly he's able to stop and start. It's it's, it's silly.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: He made some of the, even their best tacklers look
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: silly looking on that 55 yard run. You can tell
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: the explosiveness and acceleration caught Evan Williams by surprise.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: One of the, the most frustrating ones.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: And, and obviously the, Pretty much all of the 37
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: minutes Atlanta had the football was frustrating, but there's a
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: sequence near the goal line that the Packers look like
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: they might be getting a stop. And it's on the
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Austin Hooper touchdown, Wayne, where I think that one puts
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: them up 17, seven, and you are close to being
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: able to get a stop. Looks like you've been able
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: to put together a couple of plays where at least
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: you've bottled up and been able to capitalize on his
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: patience and And there's miscommunication feels like the call gets
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: in late and there's a lot of looking in and
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: hands pointing around the miscommunication. We're talking about it a
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: lot up, up front, but it wasn't great on defense
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: last night as well, which I think was really surprising
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: to see.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: It seemed like a belly at times. And certainly on
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: that play, uh, there was miscommunication and he popped wide
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: open and that's not supposed to happen, uh, in that coverage,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: but The overriding thing that I take from the game
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: last night, obviously defensively getting literally run over by Bijan
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Robinson and Brian Robinson had some nice runs as well
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: for Atlanta. But the overriding thing is the continued struggles
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: on the offensive line to protect Jordan Love. Now you
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: can say, well, they only got one sack. Yeah, but
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: they had 12 quarterback hits in that game. And Love
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: has been taken to the ground 34 times. in the
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: first three games of the season. I thought Jordan was
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: a little bit inaccurate last night, and there's a reason
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: for that. I think it's the residual impact that happens
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: to a quarterback when he's getting hit like this consistently
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: week after week. Late in the game, I mentioned this
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: because I was thinking about it in the fourth quarter.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Jordan Love, a lot of times you'll pull the starting
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: quarterback at that point in time and get your backup
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: some work, that type of thing. And Matt LaFleur mentioned
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: it at the podium. They were just trying to get
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: some momentum, just trying to get a few good things
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to happen offensively at the end of the game. You're
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: not going to win the game, but get a few
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: things you can at least build on going forward. And
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: they were unable to do that for the most part.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Wayne, Jordan was inaccurate, and he dirted a couple of balls,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: but there were also some drops. And in terms of
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: the execution, I mean, it's one thing they're not getting
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: anything going on in the running game, but there were
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: a couple pass plays where I think it had to
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: be screw ups because receivers were right next to each other.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: There was one on the near sideline towards us with
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Tucker craft and Watson almost colliding. And then there was
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: another one on the far sideline. It's like that doesn't
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: and shouldn't happen. It doesn't happen when the offense is
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: flowing well, but here we are.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here we are. And you're right. Some of that's
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: the product of the short week. You know, when your
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: team doesn't look good on a Thursday night, it's largely
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: because they haven't had a chance to rehearse the game plan.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: At least not physically. They've done some of the walkthrough
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: stuff and all that. And the whole week is about
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: just getting your body right so you can go out
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: and play a football game. It's all mental in that regard. But, boy,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: when things snowball like they are on the Packers at
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: the moment, those things show up. And, Drew, you're right.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: They make a big impact on the game. But, you know, hey, listen.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: Listen.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Both teams are playing on a short week. You know
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: what I mean? It's not like one had a buy
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: going in. So, um, you know, the, uh, the Packers
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: will make no excuses about that.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Uh, hanging out with Wayne Larive here, a couple of
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: more minutes brought to you by Miller light, legendary moments.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Start with a light Pottawatomie sports book, your sport, our stadium,
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Wisconsin concrete coatings, your trusted partner for premium concrete coatings.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: You mentioned the offensive line, Wayne, uh, Jagger Burton gets
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: the start yesterday. Uh, Jacob Monk goes down at one point,
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Aaron Banks, uh, out again and Zach Paco Buele obviously
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: now out for the rest of the season. It's going
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: to be a difficult balancing act and I think it's
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: now maybe would be the time that if there'd be
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: some new blood, maybe it's the Volson guy that they
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: have on practice squad or something, you have at least
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: a little bit of a runway. You mentioned the short week,
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: the payoff is you get now about 10 days before
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: you play again and Feels like if you're going to
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: come out of this, you're going to have to give
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: an offensive line and a grouping some run to go with.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: But would you expect to maybe see a little shakeup
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: up front and then a run of hopefully three or
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: four games to see if you can build some continuity?
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Sean Ryan was getting checked over after the
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: game last night for a hand injury. So, yeah, this
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: is an opportunity, I guess, from a time standpoint to
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: be able to incorporate maybe a new offensive lineman, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: they're a veteran, that kind of thing. It'll be very
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: interesting to see the Bolston guy, I think, is going
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: to factor in here at some point. He started 48
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: games for Cincinnati, including a Super Bowl. So, you know,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: I still think there's an opportunity. Maybe they bring a
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: tackle on at some point. But boy, it's been a
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: tough situation for the young guys in there who have
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: gone in and started. And You know, we knew with
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Jagger Burton starting at left guard last night, there will
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: be good plays and bad plays. That's the way it
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: is with a young offensive lineman. And that's become a
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: very young line right now. And, you know, Jordan Love,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: they're just too often there are free rushers at the quarterback.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: And that's making it very difficult for him to fundamentally
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: step into throws.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Well, we had to find.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Some hope somewhere. Tell me, oh, sorry, Drew. Oh, go ahead.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Tell me there's some hope somewhere. Things change quickly in
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: this league. We know that about the NFL. Maybe these
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: three days can help the Packers regroup a little bit
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: and surprise us when they travel to Tampa.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, Armand. I mean, it's a week-to-week league.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: You know how that is. You know, we don't like
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: the trends we're seeing, obviously. The Packers don't like them either.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: But they do have some time to regroup here. It's
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: a week-to-week type of situation. There are a lot of
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: teams in the same boat the Packers are in trying
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: to figure out who they are in the early season
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: and where they go from here and how they can
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: compete successfully. What is it they can hang their hat on?
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: The offense, as Larry mentioned several times last night, Larry
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: McCarron seems disjointed. When you don't have something to hang
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: your hat on, at least offensively, it can be tough.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Right now, they're trying to find that, but 53 passes.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think Matt LaFleur feels that's the way to go.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: They've got to somehow cobble together some kind of a
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: running game.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: 53 passes, 28 total pressures on the quarterback.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Yikes. What is it? Nine running attempts, 17 yards.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Nine rushes for 17 yards. Four apiece for Johnson and Lloyd.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: And Wayne, the Packers, it ended up getting flushed down
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: the river. But when they got the kick blocked, when
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Trace Mack's field goal was blocked, that was bad. It's
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: never good. And then you see on the film that
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: the Falcons blocked the kick with only 10 men on
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: the field. And you think, oh, boy.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize that. They only had 10 men on
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: the field.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: They had 10 men on the field and blocked the kick.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: And one of his extra points, they almost got a
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: paw on it. So that's going to be an area
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: of concern, too. I guess when it rains, it pours, right?
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you've got to tighten that up. And I
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: know Cam Acord will, you know, but yeah, that blocked.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: kick yeah I still think the game turned on Bijan
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Robinson's 55 yard run I just do and people say
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: well it was early it was late in the first
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: quarter how could that happen well Lombardi said it best
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: a game a football a game of pro football can
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: change on any play and it doesn't have to be
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter it could be in the first
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: quarter it could be in the second quarter that game
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: to me I sensed it changed. The complexion of that
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: game changed on that run. That's where Atlanta said, okay,
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: we can take over the line of scrimmage. We've got
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: a back they can't bring down. That's the feeling I had,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: they had, that Atlanta had on the sideline and certainly
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: in the game.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Of course, that run was preceded by the penalty.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: By a third and 11 roughing the passer penalty, that's questionable.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: But again, you put yourself in the situation, you get close.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: And a third straight week, you get burned that way.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And you're exactly right. That run doesn't happen if
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: they don't call that penalty. I thought it was a
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: little bit questionable. I really did watching the replay on
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: it in all honesty. And, but, um, those are things
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: early in the season. Officials are calling that real tight,
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: especially around the quarterback. And I've seen that across the league.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: But I think in a month from now, that probably
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: doesn't get called.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Sean Smith's crew might be calling it because my man's
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: voice was cracking there waiting last night. I don't know,
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: primetime Sean Smith. He was a little bit nervous, it
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: sounded like, on there. It wasn't phenomenal there for the stripes.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Jordan Love took some shots that could have been flagged
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: as well, I thought.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: We're getting picked on that.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I thought so, too. I thought so, too. But, you know,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: and again... The 34 hits in the first three games
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: of the season, 34 quarterback hits against the Packers, that's tough.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: It's hard to run offense when that's happening.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: It's messing up the timing. Wayne, thank you for joining us.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: We appreciate it. Enjoy the weekend off. Enjoy your Sunday
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: watching the rest of the league.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll be watching. That's for sure. Thanks, guys. Have
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: a good weekend.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: You bet. Wayne Larrabee, the voice of the Packers, friend
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: of the program, brought to us by.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Miller Lite, legendary moments start with a light. Pottawatomie Sportsbook,
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: your sport, our stadium, Wisconsin Concrete Coatings, your trusted partner
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: for premium and concrete coatings. Drew, I think everybody needs
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: and probably deserves a couple of cold Miller Lites after
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: that performance.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: But listen, I don't know. I don't know exactly.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: If we crack one open right now, it would be apropos.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: We've basically been up for 29 straight hours.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: But at some point, I think. Well, we should.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know how exactly it would work. Might get
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: looked at strangely, but I don't really care at this point.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Well, they don't have to know.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: There's a couple highlights in the fridge in my office.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: You guys want to help yourselves. I'll have one here.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: You have one there.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: Well, Billy already made a pizza. We saved you a
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: slice of pizza. You want us to put it in
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: the fridge?
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: No, just let it sit congealing on the console, and
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: I'll just get it on Monday morning because that's how
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: we roll.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Well, Billy's ribs are so good.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: If we have any week-old glazers we can have, I'll
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: have a whole meal.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: That'd be amazing.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'll try and eat it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: That'll be amazing.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: So Billy looking for, we got the Badgers this weekend.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: You'll be on the post game duties there. We're going
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: to have Sunday clear with Ms.

  Speaker 4: And then there's going to be some conflicts. There's going

  Speaker 4: to be some games where the Badgers and Packers are

  Speaker 4: likely to be right up against the Brewers. I think
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: it's going to be fun. Let's enjoy it. Maybe we
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: need a diversion instead of watching the Packers.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Can't wait. It needs to happen soon.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. Thanks for hanging out with us. You have been
